panic by who? Reporters as none of their 'itk' has paid off? Or lots of extra names to evoke panic and discussions online by the fanbase?
Like has been stated time and again most transfers happen over a prolonged period so I tend to believe there are a list of targets simultaneously being worked on but rely on other factors.
Very similar profile to Son. Wages wouldn't have been a problem as well.
There appears (understandably) to be a pecking order. We will have identified targets, some of which will be hopeful of a move to a bigger club than us, it's only when this doesn't materialise that we have a chance with that player.
It's also like a line of dominoes, waiting for the first to fall, when it does the rest will start to drop quickly.

Jokes aside, it's the right move for Wilson.
He will play every game and lead their line. At his age, shows more ambition than sitting on our bench.
Someone earlier made a statement on the lines of:
"Why are we signing squad players, we should be looking at improving the first team, this is just taking us backwards"
Lets be real here, how much would an upgrade on each of the following players cost:
- Kane
- Son
- Dele
- Moura
- Le Celso
- Toby
- Lloris
We have to be smart here and buy players that add to the depth and hope they haven't hit their ceiling, these ideally are younger players in the most, who have the potential to become the master and not the student. We will occasionally buy big but this doesn't guarantee anything.
If we look back at the last five years I believe we've, in general got a stronger and deeper squad than we've had for a long time. Sure there are gaps but they appear to be identified and on the list to fill

We used to be a juicy name to chuck in but they stopped for a while. They are starting up again now with a vengeance
Don’t want relegated players but SIGN THAT BRENTFORD BLOKE!!!!
AND MAX AARONS!!!!
We’ve signed two 1st team players this summer, though in Hojbjerg and Doherty. They will play every match they are fit for, for sure. The striker situation clearly is different, but needs sorting ASAP.
What’s he supposed to say?
“I would have jumped at the chance to join Spurs but their wanky fans and sluggish management team didn’t want me so here I am.
At least I’m still in the PL though.“
Also liverpool are in such a strong position massively due to breaking world record transfer fee's, they can now pull out of transfers if the bidding gets too high & still be a million times better than us. We aren't in that position due to not paying whats required. The solution? Carry on not paying what's required!
Cause our scouts spend too much time wanking over midget porn
Sky Sports formula is Largest fan base(s) x gullability of fans = highest internet traffic
Internet traffic increases advertising revenue which makes people who don't care about any element of truth more money.
Sadly this is why we have to listen to the endless transfer speculation about Many United. There are literally hundreds of players, if not thousands, that have been linked to them in such a way you#d think they'd already signed that never actually did.
It makes our links to re-signing Bale every window seem paltry.
But their fans are easily the most gullible as they haven't woken up to the fact they're not the big deal they think they are anymore. They're not a route to trophies. They're not the only big wage payers. Their stadium and facilities are outdated and biggesy of all, they don't have Fergie.
Once upon a time, going to them was like an English lad getting a call up to England, you rarely said no. Prestige, money, glor was all guaranteed.
Now top 4 isn't let alone a trophy.
33 agrees so far. I bet at least 10 Of those agrees do in fact forgive! Thats what usually happens. Empty words. When kane gets injured for a long time, they say its just bad luck. How were we to know kane would get injured. Truth is the lack of investment means we would be grateful for afobe for a year.
He did the other one in January. Amazing how often that happens, a playing doing the other knee after coming back from an ACL. Callum Wilson and Ings are recent examples.
Lots of people believing a spotty teenager on twitter "Football latest 100% true transfer. Net" as a source that is then recycled everywhere.
Oh well that's settled then I have been watching a different player as Dier is obviously faster than Son....This is how Trump got elected.Tottenham Hotspur's fastest player revealed as Eric Dier - Yedlin has serious competition!

I remember a similar argument 2 and 3 years ago 'how do we improve our team' and look where that led us. You can always improve. Of your list Lloris and Toby arent the standard they were, there should be some succession planning there. Moura is just average, he doesnt offer nearly enough goals or assists for an attacking player and Dele has had injuries the last 2 years and has dropped a level, he may get it back he may not.

That's the point. Some will defend them no matter what. So no point arguing with them in the end.
