He might have turned out better if we paid 80

He's good because he was pretty incredible for Leicester up until a bad injury, the price-tag has nothing to do with it.
He's been considered one of the biggest CB talents in the world for a while now, arrived at Leicester for a big fee despite being extremely young, and then went on to be one of the best defenders in England .. at the age of 19.
Indeed, it doesn't quite feel like we are going for it. More like building over the next two transfer windows. That may be the best approach btw but meh...I have been waiting long enough.
So was Kurt Zouma before his injury.
The same was said about Slabhead , that went well
It's called FOMO and it's typically a poor reason to make an executive decision.
its always the same every window, oh it will get better with the next one
theres always next year lads, its almost become a parody now
I did think Fabrizio Romano tweeting that James was our first choice would trigger your breakdown
Even Conte must be embarrassed by what's going on.You have to look at the funny side of things
Chelsea are set to overhaul their defence this window whilst we get lenglet in on loan
Probably feels like the poor kid at school who had to take his own sandwiches while his mates splashed out in the canteen on decent nosh.
He’s about to swap the Leeds bench for the spurs bench
Kurt Zouma was never even close to as impressive as Fofana was in that first Leicester season. In fact I don't think Zouma's reputation has ever been at that level. Fofana was 18 or 19 and already going for close to 40 million despite only having played in France.
He's been incredibly highly rated within French football for a long time. The only risk here is injury & whether said fee places too high an expectation on him. The player himself has serious quality.
Yeh, I would have taken it that way, except the amount ("everyone"), manner ("screaming"?) and what was being said (which you've since watered down) were ALL over-egged in your OG post.
Bastoni, Gvardiol & Skriniar were all much discussed earlier in the window so (contrary to your OG salvo) obv it was commonly acknowledged that there were potential top targets (subject to the minutia of any potential deal)...... This was not the same as the RWB situ.
A few other names were tossed about, but no-one there was universal enthusiasm for (rather notably, last season there was much clambering for Torres, but by the time the window opened most fans had gone cold on him; such is the fickle-ness afforded the average fan... There's no 'jeopardy' to playing armchair-DOF.)
I thought Ndicka looked good, but people wanted "proven quality; not more prospects".
(Separate discussion, but I'm most curious as to how PSG & Inter didn't strike a deal over Skriniar in the end.....)
Who is the mega-RWB your posts now imply we've slept on, btw?
Literally could say the same thing about the moaners (like Moan Thomas) every transfer window.
Absolute made-up nonsense.
We will find out soon enough he won't hold it in he will rinse levy out in the media, be interesting how the club tie him down to a longer deal if he thinks he has been levyed like many managers and fans alike have had done over the years
