Not sure how much of it is genuine Covid money issues (PL clubs have big TV money that cover their arse) or taking the piss. I am guessing we consider it more likely to get the fees in Jan or next summer so are happy for loans for now getting them to play and picking up a fat fee later on.
Excluding them didn't devalue anything, nobody would pay money for these players. Everyone in the world saw how they played against Mura and Morecambe last season. Excluding them was the best thing to do because it sent a clear message to them that they will not play for this club again.
Nobody outside of England has any money anyway. Pepe left Woolwich on loan, Dele left Everton on loan, Hudson-Odoi left Chelsea on loan, continental clubs cannot afford to pay a nice fee and take on the salary of these players as well.
I see Maddison and Zaha nowhere to be seen. Not saying its us obviously but seems like they might be on the move.
Didn’t really work out that way with Gio and Ndombele. Can understand loaning Ndombele out again because of the way he played for Lyon but Villarreal and GLC are taking the piss.
He did very well by all accounts there last season so it was time for Villarreal to cough up the money or he either stays or goes somewhere else. How are we ever going to sell our deadwood if the clubs abroad know we will loan them if nobody pays up
I can’t see Maddison going anywhere. They just got near 80 million for Fofana; expect he’ll get offered a new contract.
Zaha, yes.
We had strong lineups for both of these matches.
The Cucurella fee was absolutely insane. I'm still trying to wrap my head around it.
The purported Fofana fee seems even more so. Both are fine players, but these kind of fees for these kind of players just doesn't seem substainable.
I suppose with Fofana an argument could be made that the Chavs have a CB spot sorted for a decade, but that's a big IF...

Not so sure, unless he's injured i cant see why he's not even on the bench. Edit: seems it might be an injury.
Won’t be us buying Maddison but I can’t see him staying with them, he is miles better than their current team.
Both Zaha and Maddison are injured.
If Spurs ended up with Maddison and Zaha, I would consider us title contenders. Just a shame our owners don’t have the balls to truly push on for a potential title challenge. I would be splashing all our money on these 2 with our supposed “war chest”
I've been a longtime fan of Zaha -- he's full of piss & vinegar and always plays with intensity -- but IMO we've got ourselves a younger, better version in Richarlison.
Just saw that on Maddison but then there are injuries and 'injuries' 5 days before a window shuts with players contracts running out. We'll see, doubt either will be us.
We have 3 attackers and 4 competitions with huge amount of games. Having a striker force of Kane, Kulusevski, Son, Richarlison and Zaha would be as good as any team in the entire league.
Zaha is a very good player, hard runner, skilful, defends quite well from the front and scores goals, sometimes his decision making let’s him down but he would be a good depth option.
ToucheMath not your strong point?
Yep Zaha in particular on 1 year left is either now or never.
I'm a fan of his. But if we were going to make this move, it should've been a couple seasons ago.
No chance of Zaha but we have Moura anyway who I think is better. Maddison would be too expensive, maybe try again next summer.
Moura is not better that Zaha, that’s crazy talk. But I don’t think he would work as a signing for us, he’s got a swelled head and trying to keep him happy when he has world class players ahead of him in the pecking order would be too much of a headache.
i would rather asm to zaha younger and same skill level with potential
