You have to wonder how many thousands of pages these bids must be. They must have an army of junior lawyers drafting all of Levy's insane clauses:
"If in 2022 THFC net profit falls below 100 million pounds, FC x shall pay back 10 percent of the transfer fee to THFC in the form of an interest fee loan, repayable upon and exclusively under the title discretion of Daniel Levy. For further clarity, even in the event that THFC is sold and ENIC is no longer the majority shareholder, and where Levy is no longer chairman, he shall retain all discretion."
"Payments shall be made at the rate of 10 pounds per month until any and all portions of the Transfer Fee has been paid. If in the event that THFC or ENIC dissolves, the remainder of the transfer fee is forgiven"
"As part of the transfer, the vendor football club shall pay for the incoming player's airfare and all expenses, including but not limited to Ryan Air tickets, bus tickets from both the airport he leaves and lands at, all expenses related to food and drink, and any other expense deemed payable by Daniel Levy at any point in the life of the contract the incoming player shall sign with THFC and any and all extensions of said contract thereof"
Etc.
You're forgetting that if you ignore the other teams who have made transfers, nothing happens in January. The summer window will be MASSIVE for Ryan Mason.
Blessed are the overspenders, for they shall have champions league trophies as their reward.

said it’s ok not to sign anyone now as long as Conte gets all his targets in the summer instead 
Machine probably isn’t working
No hard feelings, I don't blame him for wanting to start, he took his crack at the PL and it didn't work out.Bye then
I agree with the qualities you're looking for, I'm just not sure McKennie and Kessie are all that different on that score. Kessie does have an attacking aspect to his game.
We're where we perennially are here. I like both players, neither is a perfect fit, and we can be certain that the analysis going on is 100% which is the better deal and 0% which is the right player.
Anybody with access to fbref.com can debunk this post
I don't think there is a massive difference, I do think that Kessie gets overrated by his penalty totals though. Many people say he is a goalscorer but outside of penalties that is not true at all.
I am also concerned with how poor Kessie was a few years ago playing in a different formation and reports this year haven't been great either.
I think both guys are upgrades on what we have but I have more questions about Kessie overall and where he fits.
Fair, but on the other hand, it seems notable that an Italian mega-club has a defensive midfielder taking their penalties in the first place. He's more than a basher. He's also captained them a couple times this year, contract situation notwithstanding.
McKennie looks like Steven Gerrard against CONCACAF dross from time to time, I can tell you from personal experience. And he's always a player to grab the game by the scruff of the neck, and his knack for the late drifting run into the box would play well in the PL I think.
And McKennie is both a knucklehead and a leader and galvanizing player. Very CONCACAF. Mexico's always got three guys like that.
Neither guy will be anything like Ndombele, for better or worse.
Martial has delusions of grandeur. Not playing at united and thinks he can cherry pick his next club. Another moody frenchman we dont need.
