But...... things are different now?

Madness imo, given its arguably our strongest area even if Romero and Dragusin go. Fine if ENIC want to splurge £250m net in a window but yeah...So basically Brighton want 50m and will get 50m.
Its a hecke of alot for a CB player that only has 1 year left on his contract.
Johnstone and Butland can’t kickWho do we replace Vicario with?
A suggestion, in the style of Joe Hart and Forster, Jason Steele. 35 years old, knows De Zerbi. God feet. Accepts the role as back up.
Alternatives. Sam Johnstone - Wolves, Butland - Rangers,
It's lunatic money.So basically Brighton want 50m and will get 50m.

Probably one with raw materials that RDZ can work with. I feel that about many of the attackers that have been mentioned. Rashford, savinho, Leao, Summerville etc. Too easy to get excited about the next one on an upward curveThe season Liverpool won the league I thought Gakpo was very good. His movement was top notch, goal threat, could get in behind. Quite hard to stop running with the ball. Not seeing the Johnson thing at all, has got much better feet and technique and doesn’t get bullied off the ball. He’s a wiry unit for a left winger/forward.
Didn’t see Liverpool much last season mind but I think he’s one of those players that’s cool to think is shit. One of those transfer stories that never go anywhere though imo. Iriola will like him.
You guys really want to be in another relegation battle next year.Wilson on a free is a no brainer. We need depth that isnt kids/unproven/injured
It is, but if our first bid was £40m and he’s the man we want, then go get him. This board need to realise It’s not 2012, these mid table clubs don’t have to be haggled down and wrestled into accepting a couple sheckels for their players anymore.So basically Brighton want 50m and will get 50m.

So does that mean he go home?Just noticed gossip that Darwin Nunez has had his contract terminated.
So what do people value Van Hecke at then?
Brighton know they can drive a hard bargain because he has other suitors and he's our first choice
I think for this one you just have to pay the money.
A couple of seasons ago there were a fair number here that were convinced he was the next Harry Kane and we should spend large just on the off-chance he'd agree to join us, but he'd likely be out of our reach.Every man and his dog knows that Vlahovic is going to leave Juventus as they don’t want to keep paying his very high salary. Including Vlahovic.
So are we really believing that he has then asked Juventus for twice as much money when they’ve told him they won’t pay him what he’s already on?
Jesus….![]()
What baggage is he supposed to have? All I know is that he did something positive for kids school meals and has written a positive book for kids tooRashford without the baggage is a decent acquisition.....there endeth the lesson.
Crazy beyond belief.
I think he’s got something to offer. At the previously quoted multi millions and massive salary? Nah. But a signing on fee and a decent salary? Aye, why not.A couple of seasons ago there were a fair number here that were convinced he was the next Harry Kane and we should spend large just on the off-chance he'd agree to join us, but he'd likely be out of our reach.
Funny how that works.

I’m told that if Spurs are unable to secure their desired fee for Cristian Romero this summer, the club would be very open to exploring what would effectively be a ‘part-exchange’ arrangement, provided the interested club can offer a player who fits Tottenham’s recruitment criteria.Such a structure could, in theory, widen the pool of potential suitors for Romero, with Spurs prepared to consider player-plus-cash proposals rather than insisting on a straight cash sale. Spurs mean business this window!
