no actually that's not how clubs "normally do it". If that was the case no clubs would be making any signingsI don't know they were or they weren't but I'm not the one speaking like I know the truth here unlike you.
Common sense though will probably tell you that they chose to get their replacements in first, that's how clubs normally do it.

Average.
Kept out of the Fulham team by Diop and fucking Tim Ream.
But he's homegrown so YAY I guess.
Strange isn't it
Relax, was just a friendly reminder!!
You wouldn't buy two replacements for one of your key players unless there was a deal in place, common sense kind of deduces that.
Disagree
I'd have him down as 3rd best CB in the league behind Dier and Romero
Perfect squad depth
Yeah mate of mine is a Fulham season ticket holder and much prefers Diop. I havent seen a lot, seems ok, an upgrade on Sanchez with the ball but not one to get Romero sweating about his place in the team. If we do pull the trigger at least it should mean (should) Lenglet isnt happening. Those 2 would be taking the piss.
Reminder of what/for what?
Well, I assume they weren't willing to entertain offers before agreeing replacement.
Is that uncommon?
I imagine he'll be Sanchez replacement in terms of depth. Definitely need another first choice centre half.
Haha got six more weeks of this Ange, mate. levy will disrupt an entire pre season in order to get an extra 10M for Kane. Doesn’t matter that a slow start will cost us far more than 10M, penny wise and pound foolish. Get on the phone to Frazer Campbell, bald cunt

Salisu and Bassey are left sided. I doubt they will get both anyway regardless of what's being reported.
Key players?? what on earth are you on about? the Prefered partnership was Diop and Ream. Tosin was/is definitely not considered a key player there.
So if he is not even first choice then surely Fulham wouldn't care about getting in replacements first before letting Tosin leave
Honestly couldn't this little transfer have been completed a few weeks ago? He is just swapping Fulham' s bench for our bench
WE’RE BACK IN BUSINESS BOYS!!!!! Having the best chairman in the league completing these bargain transfers and one of the best managers in the world right now, it’s impossible not to get excited by Spurs future!!!!!

Tosin and Diop have played exactly the same amount of games this past season. Can't say that one is forcing the other out of the team.
Tosin is a good player and if we bring him in we should be rooting for Ange to take his game up a level instead of instantly turning our noses up at him.

That's because of Diop and Reams injuries.
When both were fit he was ahead of Tosin. My point btw isn't to have a pop at Tosin's ability which I've already said that I've liked what I've seen. It was to point out he wasn't a "key player".
What a ringing endorsement!
He is probably fine as a replacement for our backup CB dross because their level is so low but it's the kind of deal that should have been done weeks ago.
Not to mention he's not the starting upgrade we need.
He wasnt.
He started at least the last 7 games of the season for them (couldn't be bothered to look further back than that) and had Diop and Ream rotated somewhat beside him.
