As far as transfer windows go, actually legit getting linked to Mbappe and then him getting linked to Saudi with wages of £600 million for the season must put this up there with one of the best, just think if it wasnt for Sauid we still wouldnt have a chance of getting him! 
For the life of me I will continue to say this over and over again, VDV is raw, not at all good in the air (in fact for his height it’s shocking), he lacks aggression and prefers to stand off… only played one year at Bundesliga level…
He’s not this transformative defensive presence that people seem to think he is. He has that potential but there’s a reason we’ve backed off imo. I don’t think he’s worth that.

I was hoping we already have 2 decent ones incoming, I cant say much more until its announced ofically but people will be pleasantly surprised!
Like you!
I thought we were always told to keep Politics out of Football........
I know the one we dont choose will definitely look back in anger.
1) Is Muani really that guy? He did look good at the WC from the few glimpses I've seen but is he the man to carry the mantle in Kane's absence?
2) Gallagher's energy and knack for a goal makes a lot of sense in Ange's system. Wouldn't be against a swap with PEH.
Maddison--- Gallagher
Bissouma
(GLC/Ndombele/Sarr )*- Bentancur
Skipp
* GLC/Ndombele situation is unclear but I wouldn't mind keeping one though it might mean loaning Sarr out. Devine to also go out on loan - he needs a full season of 1st team football somewhere.Bissouma

It's a strong collection of midfielders.
3) Tosin - a decent backup
4) Tapsoba - if it's only one of him or VDV I'd go with him for the slight edge in experience. Maybe try again for VDV in future.
The punt on the forward is always going to be a gamble post-Kane but I wouldn't be too upset with the above.
If he doesn't have a kink to bathe in a water pit, I'm pretty sure he'd choose spurs over West Ham.
Couldn't agree more he should be the afterthought to Tapsoba ( who isn't the fished article either)

2 birdies on the 19th hole, bruv.... Say no more.
That would be a fantastic window provided we ship out Lloris too.
This would be a superb outcome. Far more youth and energy into the side too…. Might still go to shit without Kane but could work
Spurs and West Ham should never be "battling" for the same player
Not in the past. Not now. Not ever!
Could create a load more outs
Seems to me like Tapsoba is target #1 but we got further advanced on the VDV deal as a negotiating tactic.
We will take VDV for 30m if we can't get there on Tapsoba, I guess Leverkusen are pushing for 40m+. The issue is that we can't dither about on this endlessly. Set a deadline and walkaway if they don't budge on price. It's obviously damaging Ange's pre-season prep.
Tosin will come in as well (eventually).
I think there has been a communication mix up
We're actually interested in Kolo Toure as our new star CB signing
I think it's a pretty smart move , I know he's about 57 but think of the experience he'll bring
