Probably something like £90-95m.

£70,000,000.
Juve were close to agreeing that with Lazio but they now want Moise Kean thrown in. He was absolutely shocking last season.
Backlines could sit in lounge chairs with that group. There is only 1 player there with the threat of getting their own shot in that group. Ndombele could but he can't shoot.
So you feel it's probably best to focus on Lo Celso as a prime target ahead of Fernandes? I agree if that's the case. If it's a toss up between Lo Celso or Fernandes, just one or the other I'd go with the boy from Rosario
I think NDombele should be our prime target above anyone.
Signing Lo Celso and/or Fernandes is pointless without someone like NDombele in the centre of the park.
It's not about who is the best but rather who is better value and cheaper.
It seems like both are in a similar ballpark. Personally I think the club should give Poch all of the Champions League revenue as well as any money in and just let him have a crack at whatever he wants this summer. 3 group games in and we were dead on our feet so see it as a bonus, not profit and let him have a swing at things.
You are an intelligent fella I can see that but I just can't see or get excited about any potential incomings, personally I have no enthusiasm for any transfer dealings last weekend has taken something away from me.
Well, it's a stupid question tbh. Have I seen both play? Yes. Does this make any difference? No. It would if Ihad watched every single game that featured any of these two. My sources are neither professional scout reports nor 3min highlight videos on YT. My friend is following the spanish league closely so we've had discussions about several players being tied to the PL by the media including Lo Celso. Fernandes has made himself a name in the past 2 seasons, he's not a no-name 18yo from brazil you gotta watch up in the internet anymore. And yes, stats DO matter.
How you can say Eriksen is far superior to any of these two is beyond me. He was on the way to becoming a new Modric but declined rapidly soon again.It was not a rare occasion for him to be invisible for quite a while now. He never scored any free kicks again, he fired corner after corner into the first defender and rarely gave quality assist. I remember a lot of guys on here even complaining on him or wondering whether he had his head already on madrid. Maybe he will blossom somewhere else again and I really hope for him that he does. Of course he is still a good player but surely not one that can't be replaced in his current form with a good transfer.
Does my head in the amount of lineups winks makes it into. Hes not better than Sissoko or Ndombele.
...............Kane
..Son....Lo Celso...Alli
...Ndombele..Sissoko
Thats a team.

Wtf you're making so much sense lately. I demand to know what you've done to the other Totti?
It’s fun to play the lineup game but the reality is the lineup depends on who we’re playing.
More importantly, do we have a deep enough bench to change tactics if plan A isn’t working
You'll be fine again come August Skywalker. The club has reached a new level this season, its time we collectively kick on a side best we can.
I'm not happy with just a one off cup run, I think we can compete over the long term. We weren't favourites last weekend, no need to get too disheartened about it pal. Could be worse, we could be Woolwich or West Ham with their new carpet
.If Poch is given the funds to make a difference I think with a full pre season and a first full season actually being at a home stadium, our stadium that we have plenty to come
Man all this talk of wanting to play Dele out left or right is madness. He is a CAM/Shadow Striker through and through- not fast enough to play on the wings. Dele is also nation trained, which is huge for our CL registration problems. Eriksen is not and can be safely sold.
Lo Celso is obviously talented but we aren't really the kind of team who can afford to have starter quality players backing each other up and not on the pitch. I would not want him starting over Dele centrally and am skeptical he can play to his potential out wide. He doesn't help our registration issues either. I'd rather see Sess in as a nation trained left winger and give Son a hybrid role on the left and backing up Harry.
Ndombele is a vital purchase as our CMs are simply not good enough right now. I will be pissed off if Levy doesn't pony up 45m gbp for him.
In: Ndombele, Sess
Out: Eriksen, Llorente

Odds on signing another Paris reject?
Spot on about Dele
Mate it's still third place at best and no repeat of a CL final in living memory but yes definitely better than whu carpet, it's quite curious that you mention them as I have had more grief of them then anyone else even today still getting joke's sent through about the fuck up last week from spammer mate's.You'll be fine again come August Skywalker.

They're a bizarre little club mate. They get their joy from the shortcomings of others as that's the only joy supporting a team like them can get you. I'm more than happy taking stick from Spammers and Goons for losing in a Champions League final. Give me that all day long instead of their feeble attempt at building a football club.
We made it to the final this time around with so much against us, no reason to look back at history and think we can't do it again. We've been growing substantially as a club over the past 5 years, we ain't the same team we were and it's down to the club to solidify that status now. We have a growing brand, booming profits and a team glittered with potential. Just got to keep positive and focus on top 4 and continuos runs into the knockout levels of Europe and we'll get our chance again. Our stock is the highest it's ever been, enjoy it and the opportunity that comes with it even if that chance takes a couple of years to happen. The club holds a lot of cards, I just hope they see this window of opportunity and exploit it to its fullest whilst staying in line with the principles of the club.
9 of our boys made it to the semi finals of the World Cup and all of them made it to a Champions League final 9 months later, that's no coincidence even if our form has been a bit erratic.

He had a lot of injuries and illness as well, mainly illness if I remember correctly - appendix and tonsils?
