So how much would you value Spence?
Yes please, the Japanese Sony Eriksen, would be a fantastic addition to the squad. Do it Don Fab
Yeah people are going well overboard here. There's every chance Lenglet comes in and takes Davies' spot.
I do think there’s a distinction though between defenders who are making poor errors, and forwards who haven’t exploded into life.
A defender by their nature have their mistakes punished heavily, while a forward can get away with some bad moments during the game if they have the talent to make up for it.
Torres does make some mistakes, but it’s not that often. Defended well in Villarreal’s run to EL win and then CL semi. Also got great passing.
You've just solidified my point - their respective clubs value those players at that price because that's what their clubs deem what their player is worth just like what we deem Winks' price at.
Right, I'm not the one who brought it up though, I don't care whether it exists or not - I was making a comparison with another player who has this perceived English or HG tax...
Prefers Arteta to Conte?
I wouldn't. If I were in Levy's position I'd ask Paratici.
What a cop out lol
I’d argue he’s improved Dier and Davies significantly from a mistake point of view and could do the same with Lenglet, who was rated very highly until recently & playing for France.
And if he can’t, we still have an alternate LCB option in Davies. I’d prefer this to spending 60/70m on a CB who is anything less than a guarantee.
Sure; I'm aware of his upside..... Presumably Fab/Tony see an upside in Lenglet too.
I've got the distinct impression that it was Bastoni way ahead as 1st choice; then the other 3 or 4 names being linked a distant 2nd. I guess there were Torres links last summer too so he might edge it from the rest.
Who knows maybe Lenglet is more linked to Dav, Japh & Rodon's futures?
Hard to gauge what we'll end up doing; such is Fab's 4D chess stylee (ditto the 3 Brazilians).
Ally Gold said recently that we had a deal ready to go on him a couple of seasons ago but didn't pull the trigger.
....And if Fab said "don't pay above 10-15m or we should look elsewhere"?
You'll likely never know either way, but I bet Bald Man would still be bad.
Is that Darko Gyabi from Star Wars...?
Well, that's Phillips off the wish list. I thought he would be worth more than Raphinha, so let's hope Leeds listens to Levy's valuation now so Spurs fans don't need to go thru the trauma of having to wait more than a week for their next signing
Does it put Raphinas price up now Philips has been sold and not desperate to sell?Is that Darko Gyabi from Star Wars...?

Me too.
It's like Groundhog Day in here without the need of trying to find out why your password doesn't get you access anymore.
:contebored:
I'm not anti baldy, I just think he should take a back seat on transfer negotiations now we have Paratici.
