Giovani Lo Celso and Rodrigo de Paul seems to be very good players and both are argentinian and affordable.
He signed with Betis, no chance
It's going to be great. Can't tell if it'll be worse than last year (where he had to walk back on everything he said when we ended up signing no-one) or better this year where he'll desperately try to cold read the transfer market and retrospectively say he knew about whoever the fuck we sign.
Would be stupid to turn it down IMO. I don't think it would be a crazy fee and he would more than fill a spot on the bench. He would bring so much more to the team than on field prowess. We need that right now. Our elder statesman, outside Llorente and Lloris, haven't won many big titles. Modric has been to the top both club wise and personally (Ballon 2018).
This is of course not my first move. But if I secure someone like Diawara, a RB, and a forward and still have some cash to burn, then hells yes.
On another note, Llorente at Real, their young CM, has been made available according to reports. Would be interested in him if we are looking for a bit more youth. He has deputized for Casemiro this season and has been talked about by Real supporters.
I see Pogbas wages will decrease 25% as well without CL football.....never underestimate how these clubs fund these players.
From my experience he is more of a Declan Rice. A bit more mobile and comfortable with the ball at his feet. He wouldn't have the amount of games he has now without having some skill to play centrally within a free flowing Dortmund side. He has just plateaued and isn't the 19 year old future star some thought he was. I do think he would have filled a major hole in our midfield this season, but I like others far more than him.
Have you watched much of Llorente at Madrid? I see he is available, according to reports, and I have read good things about him from Madrid supporters.

He's the only player linked in past couple of season that I would genuinely LOVE to have at the club. Would give us what we've been missing since Dembele had back-to-back injuries and left quietly (still gutted about that).
Ndombele looks classy and he's got strength, touch, pace and vision. This, for me, would be THE marquee signing for the first full season at NWHL.
Just wondering how many players people want because the main feeling I get on this forum is that:
Dier, Trippier, Davies, Wanyama, Llorente, Sanchez, Janssen are not good enough.
Moura, Sissoko, Winks, KWP are just squad back up
Foyth, Skipp aren’t ready yet
Toby, Eriksen are off
Leaving us with Dele, Kane, Son, Jan, Rose, Lloris. I think some of you might melt a bit this summer when your fantasies are not realised.

Betis bought him just a month or so ago (he was there on loan and they activated their option to buy). I don't see him moving anytime soon.
I want to see two good players - CM & RB. Depending on what happens after, if we sell Eriksen and/or Toby we obviously need to replace them. So 3-4 players would be decent. I don’t think we’ll sign too many new players at once. Additionally Janssen and N’Koudou should leave. KWP loaned out.
Sammy, you're absolutely right that it's all not happening. And yes, there are supporters who want each of those specific players gone. But nobody is saying they all should. Swap out 4 or 5 of the "not good enough" or "just squad players" with some quality and I don't think anyone serious would complain about the rest.
Sanchez as 3rd choice CB, Dier and Davies as guys who can cover multiple positions when injuries hit, and Winks as a rotation mid. Not a problem.
But do you think moving 4/5 of the obvious deadwood and replacing them with quality is out of the question? Every club has to have second options. For example, while not my first choice, Davies isn't a worry if he's not also lined up beside Fouth, and behind Big Vic and Skipp.
As long we're not replacing the deadwood with backups, what do you think is reasonable to expect? I know that a sincere question instead of a fight is unusual, but here we are.
I agree with the sentiments on these players (although hoping somehow Eriksen signs a new contract) but that doesn't mean I expect that we will sell all these players and replace them in this window, and I doubt any others do.
The overhaul will have to happen over a couple of windows. Some players leave this summer, some in january etc etc. Moving too many at once would just disrupt the squad.
Can't wait for all the excuses as to why we haven't signed anyone once the season ends and the summer begins
-Season just ended
-Levy and Poch on holiday
-Have to wait until internationals are out the way
-transfer fees too high
-players on holiday
-cant sign anyone officially until July 1st
-have to wait for bigger clubs to do their business before we can enter the market
-Brexit
-unwanted players must be sold first to make way for new signings
-players are cheaper at the end of the window
-we can save on wages by delaying signing anyone until the later stages of the summer
What fun

He’s better than Ok and if people are talking about Maddison as an extra AM then you will get arguably a better and cheaper player in that position. Of course it’s not going to give us a title run.
We work on Tottenham budgets not Liverpool and City’s, if we were i’d be looking at different players.
didn't they once broke the world transfer fee record on a player they only saw on VCR?
