Transfers Summer 2018 transfer window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

According to a not always reliable source elsewhere City had 18 senior players last season, only 4 home grown (Sterling, Delph, Walker & Stones).

I don't know if that's true or not, I do know it's a matter that's barely mentioned for all other clubs apart from us. I suspect it's this year's excuse, little more
If your 17 are all high level players and not players like Janssen, Llorente, Nkoudo, Foyth( not his ability his experience) Sissoko then it makes little difference if you have 8 or 4.
 
They'd be stupid to play him - look what happened to Everton with Barkeley last summer......managed to wipe £20m off his price and still had to sell without him playing a single minute for them.

It's not worth the risk, just in case someone comes up with a bid.
They could not play him as a deal is virtually done
Play him as it’s not happening
Play him becuase it’s close but not inevitable and they need him.
Play him to showcase the talent and secure their price

The last two could backfire and they be left with
a) no player for a while and no deal
b) no takers.

Bearing in mind if it’s £40m it will be the highest transfer in their History.
Beating Benteke to Liverpool which was a record £30m something

Edit forgot the main scenario
 
The usual suspects suffering from the realisation that this window would be like all the others regarding signings.
Maybe a few outs, and a few ins to cover them.

They were told, over and over again, there will be no marquee signings, no Bale, no Modric, no Isco, no world class full backs, but hey....they read between the lines remember.

:dawsonlol:


Here’s what I told people way back at the start of July.....and some 600 pages ago.

You didn’t listen and have cried everyday for the following month and a half...when will you learn?

When will you understand the club you follow?
When will you accept what our policy is about?
When will see that every window, every season, year after year after year, that you got it wrong?

Always on the outside, looking in, wishing we was like Liverpool......the team in our shadows, but hey at least they’ve spent a billion finishing below us for 10 years.

When will you support the club.....the regime.....the kids......the project.....the chairman.....and not just two thirds of the first team.

You still don’t get it. I keep hearing the club is it’s fans. Well here’s a thought, if you get hit by a bus tomorrow, the club rolls on with zero knowledge of it.
In 50 years, our legacy won’t have been built by a load of whining babies on the internet.

The statue outside the ground will be of Levy, not you.
