I disagree.
We don't need Dybala and I don't really see where he'd fit in Conte's system. Plus, Dybala may be great on his day, but there are a lot of games where he's just a ghost. He has a bad temper too, and it's well documented that he's had many an attitude problem in his time at Juve. Which, all combined, is probably why he's not joined a City, Real, Bayern, Liverpool...
Also, it'd take like 50-70 mil to sign him in January and I just don't think he'd play well enough to justify the spend. Sure, he'd be great from an image perspective...but what we need is a fighter, a guy that's gonna be ready to leave it all out on there on the pitch. Dybala has the feet, I'm just not sure he's got the guts.
So I'd rather spend that Dybala money on a solid RWB and CM, plus maybe striker cover for Kano.
But I get your point about Levy maybe feeling he needs a fancy signing to hide all his shot behind it. Tree that hides the forest and al
Paraciti still hasn’t unlocked Lazio players in candy crush. We have to wait
He's not even close to being that good..... GLC just disappears into most games..... Could never acuse Erik of that.
Yes. Go after decent players. It's simple.
We should not be on day 29 of January hoping that we get 2 or 3 players in before the end of day 31.
Far better to declare no interest or need in adding to a squad than to look inept when trying to do so.
It's always hard in January if you are looking for specific players but if you then start displaying a scattergun approach it just makes you look a bit stupid really.

Is this the problem with Paratici's reported style of many irons in the fire?
We spend so long lining up multiple deals, whilst waiting for ideal player (only for that bunch of pikeys to swoop in for him) that the ones we have left dangling either get another offer from a club that appears more keen or get bored and say no?
Sure many clubs operate this way but we appear to get burned more often (or perhaps we never read about what happens elsewhere).
Fairplay Woolwich...
Exactly. If we genuinely have that money, why not go after a beast like him? Especially if Conte has indeed told the board that we need a top, top CM.
SMS has it all. He can run, pass, score, tackle...and he's a bloody leader on the pitch and in the locker room. He has that mean streak we desperately need at always-too-soft Spurs.
How Fabio wouldn't even call Lazio to enquire about him is beyond me. But if he's not done it yet, it's just not gonna happen. You don't approach a player like SMS a mere 72 hours before the fat lady sings. Actually, I'd like him to do that...so those still defending the useless cunt finally realise how shit he is at his job
If we are offering Sessegnon out I really hope it's a loan to buy, he just doesn't have the right stuff.
It's like Richard Branson shopping in Aldi.

When we didn't get Diaz why didn't we go for Gravenberch, when we didn't get Traore why didn't we get Anthony etc, etfuckingcetera
The attacking players large showy bids make me think we will eventually try to flog someone before their contract runs out in the future.
Perhaps we should all tone down the language on here the next few days. There are lots of different very valid viewpoints of the club and how its run.
We all want whats best for the club and to be successful. There is a way of disagreeing without spouting vitriol at each other and that applies to all sides.
So would we all,but my point is when was the last signing we made that we knew what we were getting,and not a punt in the dark? Bale's loan doesn't count
Lloris maybe?
Most were pretty cock-sure that Ndombele was god when we signed him. Most were eager to make GLC permanent 6 months before we had to....... Romero was declared a steal by some before he'd even kicked a ball for us.
The fact remains; all the interim fluff and TW hype is just that......
I always point to Scott Parker and Pallacios in this context.... Both low profile signings yet just what we needed at the time and had true impact.
Besides; there was no suprise that Jan, Dembele, Eriksen were class...... On the flipside even Lloris was eased in rather than being treated as a game-changer from day 1.
