Hope a chunk of that is performance based, otherwise a big, big risk, if he flops.

Does anyone seriously think Patrici or Conte would have come here without written assurances on transfer budget?
If we don't make many signings now then there will be in the summer. Personally I do think we'll sign 1 or 2 though.

I don't care.
Dietary concerns or footballing?
I must say, at a distance, I do have concerns about his amino acid absorption rate.
Anyone who expected a major overhaul in January just wasn't being realistic, it's extremely rare for there to be much movement in January.
A busy window would be something like 2 players coming in and 2-3 going out (even on loan).
LOL fukQ
Agility mainly when I watched him, want close to Modric type than an Essien (given we have Skipp who looks capable enough in this latter mould). Would like a more cultured player, to PEH can drop to cover for Skipp first and foremost.
Kante is the prototype build, for me, slender enough to bend quickly, wirey, low muscle mass so can run-run-run, but tough little bugger.
Well it's not like Levy has ever lied before...
For sure. I just credit these guys as being aware of that and, being in a negotiation position of power, able to dictate written terms.
We could do a lot worse than digne
I like the player but not sure he'd be a fit as a LWB. He's a very nice LB but not sure he has enough attacking prowess to play the way Conte wants his LWB to play.
Particularly as he said no and we went crawling back when we were desperate.
He held all the cards in that negotiation with Paratici also in the background
Here you go
But what do they say about verbal agreements?
Good with a dead-ball and #CanHeCross?
....Yes he can.
Good player IMO.... Curious what the bust-up with Rafa was all about though.
......Get Charlie Kane to proof-read it first?
We always make the mistake of doing our business late in every window.
And it tends to come down to Levy's brinkmanship to knock the prices down.
The most compelling argument for us to get our business done early in January is that our squad is paper thin and we have a run of fixtures coming up that will probably decide if we are going to make top 4.
For that reason alone I was hoping that the club had 2-3 lined up ready to pull the trigger as soon as the window opened.
But as per usual my expectations do not align to my hopes.
kessie and ginter would be good starts both cheap
why go after rudiger and not ginter is baffling

Most clubs finalise deals at the end of the transfer window - just need to look at the day to day deals announced summary to see that.
Are you saying there’s a gentleman’s agreement?They shook hands on it.
Word is bond yo.
My guess is the truth is somewhere in the middle. Levy has to realize that they need to improve, clearly Paratici will want to make some changes and it goes without saying that Conte will. They’re likely on the same side in that regard.
At the same time, no one can think it’s all happening in January. I get impatient, because I think they should have things ready to drop on January 1st, but it’s probably not reasonable. Maybe 1-2 deals and a player or two out, but the big changes come in the summer.
