Oh shit, don't show Jose second from bottom
Meunier, Fraser Matuidi and Callejon would all be great shouts for not to much in January surely

Let me tell you Fernandes in not Lo Celso and so much of the crap we have seen this season dont happen simply because he'd have been the like for like Cristian Eriksen replacement we desperately need. Poch and his nationalists BS scuppered us.Have a look a what happed in the brief flashes we have seen of Eriksen form returning. We become cohesive and an attacking threat. Not that it totally mitigates the lack of DM options, get Amos back he is better than Dier Sissoko and Winks at what we need.
Remember when Levy offered Vila Josh Onomah + 3mil for Grealish.
Scenes
My view is like levy on this I don't buy itPretty sure it's actuallyTotti running these fake news accounts - then fishing for clicks here
A real 'where were you when JFK was shot' moment.
You're not the first person to come out with this bizarre accusation. Argentine bias? He signed 3 Argentinians in 5 years, and he barely played any of them as they were backups (Foyth, Gazz.) or injured (Lo Celso) . And it's hardly as if Lamela has been keeping someone better out of the team.
I don't think one example of choosing an Argentinian over Fernándes makes him a nationalist.
Not sure we can wait two years by that time Moyes will have west ham finishing above us.:mourfacepalm:
According to Fernandes himself, we din't choose Lo Celso over Bruno, we bid the asking price for Bruno and his chairman suddenly decided he wasn't for sale.
All 3 good players, but not what we need.
Midfield and defence is in need of freshening up.
Well there you go
I think we bid something in the region of €45m, with an additional €20m in add-ons. But we would have had to do mad shit like win the CL and the PL to activate those add-ons. Sporting were not impressed.

Tottenham's Bruno Fernandes bid rejected due to "difficult' clauses", says Sporting president | Squawka
Sporting Lisbon president Frederico Varandas has revealed why the club turned down Tottenham's offer for Bruno Fernandes last month.

Sporting Lisbon have revealed that Tottenham Hotspur were the only club to make a serious offer for Bruno Fernandes in the summer, but the structure of the bid made it “difficult” to accept.
Fernandes ended up staying at Sporting despite being heavily linked with Spurs, Manchester United and Real Madrid throughout the summer.
Why did Sporting reject Spurs’ bid? Five things to know…
- Sporting president Frederico Varandas has revealed the details of Tottenham’s Bruno Fernandes bid.
- Spurs reportedly offered €45m plus €20m in bonus clauses.
- Those bonuses relied on Tottenham winning the Premier League and the Champions League.
- Varandas says the clauses made the offer “difficult” to accept.
- Sporting will now discuss a new contract with Fernandes.
Speaking to Sporting’s official website, club president Frederico Varandas has now claimed Sporting were prepared to sell Fernandes in the summer amid suggestions it was “impossible” to keep him.
But Varandas has revealed the Portuguese giants simply didn’t receive any suitable offers for the 24-year-old, with Tottenham attempting to include clauses relating to winning the Premier League and the Champions League.
“We prepared for his sale by putting a fair price on his worth, and we had bids. Tottenham’s was 45 million euros plus 20 million in bonuses – winning the Premier League and the Champions League. Finding these goals difficult, I understood not to accept.
“The day I turned down the Tottenham proposal, I came to the Academy and talked to him, told him why I declined and why he would stay here until the end of the market and he understood perfectly. In addition, he also realised that the value they gave to Sporting was not fair.”

So we don’t have a history for not buying in January then ?

Every transfer window is different and we've done business in January in the past, but it's obvious that we are gonna spend money this month. Not that I expect us to bring in 3 world-beaters.
Oddly enough, we do have a habit of doing at least a little bit of business. Moura, Dele, Palacios, Defoe, Holtby were all picked up in Jan.
I mean, you might be right, we might well do fuck all. But I don't think there's a particular aversion to buying now. Levy likes a deal and if there's one to be had, he'll go for it.
Structure of the bid so I assume levy said a fiver a week plus my back catalogue of shoot magazine and wondered why it wasn't accepted.I think we bid something in the region of €45m, with an additional €20m in add-ons. But we would have had to do mad shit like win the CL and the PL to activate those add-ons. Sporting were not impressed.

I've only seen a few minutes of him playing against Holland, so I have no idea what kind of money he is worth. I imagine that failing to shift the likes of Eriksen affected our transfer budget.
