Deserves a bit more respect on here because people shit on ITK's too much IMO

I really hope we get lenglet if the buy option is 6M euros. I really think conte will give him his confidence back and we will have a very good ball playing defender for peanuts.

He's never posted any bullshit, imo.

In fairness, I only think it was arcspace who gave VY much shit tbh,

With spence and lenglet very likely coming o think we will go big on a right footed center back until the end of the market. Bremer?

When is the title parade likely to be? Will Chick King still be open?

I wonder where all the posters that were saying Levy ain't gonna change and will drag things on are.

ENIC raised the money.
Paratici is negotiating all the deals.

But we're supposed to thank Daniel Greedy?
He's probably locked up in Paratici's basement, gagged and bound.

Paratici this week to his targets.

I trust paratici with spence, but I would have liked someone different for the RWB spot

Bremer has said he wants to play in the CL and has told Woolwich he's not interested in joining them.

Play every Sunday? No thanks.

Bet Don Paratici will have fuck all sleep this week.

The guy is a machine, you know he must get off on these transfers. Unlike a certain someone else:

Good post.

Football is business as well. Sport and business not just one.

And you have to look at risk/reward of deals. Lenglet and Gvardiol are pretty much extremums of the scale.
Lenglet - proven quality in number of seasons, earned big transfer and played on highest level for France on NT level, now struggling for the club and made available for small fee. Biggest possible loss - few millions (salary cost + low loan fee). Biggest possible upside - getting starting CB for number of years for 6 million.
Gvardiol - young and highly rated talent. Played 1 season in top league. Valued very highly.
Biggest possible loss - roughly the amount of transfer fee. So maybe like 80 mil. Two unsuccessful seasons for us and he would not be moved for more than 20 mil.
Biggest possible upside - getting starting CB for ~10 years.

I am not saying we should just make so conservative deals, but between those circumstances and deal structures I know what deal I prefer.

We have three good centre backs so agree re risk / reward but I would hope we think reward and pay more when it comes to priority positions eg RWB. For example, 80M for Hakimi is different to 80M for gvardiol
