What are the odds he'd accept tho?
What dost thou talk about?
You asked me this before but anyway, randomly I have seen a few other Fulham games and one game against us.
I do like him.
VdV I'm pretty open that I know next to nothing about. Tapsoba I saw the Juve games in Europa, mainly because there were Xabi Alonso rumours to us at the time. I liked what I saw.
15m seems a fair price for Tosin but if it was me and I was making an ideal window out of the players linked, I'd like to see Tapsoba of them all.
If he's costing 50m that isn't happening though.
that puts the end of the speculation of him going to Spurs thankfully
Vinny Samways.......er.....Van Damme......Vincent Jansen!.......no......erm.....
Nobody thinks we can't.
Plenty of us know that we probably won't.
That's because you did not read my lists of players being linked to Spurs and where his name was mentioned
Sucks for the club but you can see the player's perspective.
A fairer way might have been to use the transferMarkt value for the player or set a value for each player and have a forced release clause at that value.
At least Shakhtar get paid then.
Saying that, they will probably get help from the Ukraine gov eventually. They are swimming in USD atm.
At what age he joined them doesn't matter - what matter is that he was under contract with them and they did pay €6 for him (back in 2019) and developed him as a player since then. But FIFA (or UEFA) invalidated his contract, which is not fair.
F.ex., Højbjerg joined Spurs at 25, does that mean Spurs should not get a fee if they decides to sell him?
That would be really fucking poor return if true, and for number of reasons -
1) This club NEED MORE CENTERBACKS. And good centerbacks. While Lenglet is decent on the ball his turning speed and agility are not on top half EPL level. His one on one defending is just shit. We need minimal 2 new CBs, and would be positive if one is experienced in the English game, I would be even fine with promising player from Championship or smth. But not one from Bundesliga and another one, subpar cheap signing that did himself no favors with his loan spell last season.
2) This club NEEDS MORE PROVEN QUALITY. I mean from this list, let's be honest, who is proven quality? Maddison. Period. As I said - Lenglet would be cheap punt and subpar signing. Solomon would be another free-transfer-punt, far from sure thing. Either of other CBs are more of "promising lad from Bundesliga" and Vicario... we know rather little about as well.
If you would substitute Lenglet with better quality CB and add maybe JWP from Soton, then we might be talking. Everything below that would be pretty poor and clearly insufficient.

Can you explain why they let him go on loan with a year left on his contract? Genuine question.

Majority of that money goes to weapons, though. And there is no guarantee that will happens when (whenever that is) the war is over as the priority will be to rebuild the whole country.
Wait... you START this list with Eric Dier and end with Davies (for emergencies) - what the hell?!?
Name ONE element of play on top of headers where Dier is better than Davies ?!? He is not faster, makes more brainfarts, concentration is weaker, game-reading is average at best... etc.
From this list Dier should be for emergencies and Davies above both - Dier and Lenglet.
Still really-really hoping we will not waste resources of bringing in Lenglet. This is taking long-term obligation for subpar player whose quality and value will surely decline. If we take a punt, we can hit a gem at least. With him, upside is limited but downside was demonstrated last season already.
Players who wanted to leave were allowed to do so if the wanted to (for, among other reasons, not wanting to risk their lives due to the Russian invasion). And my guess is that Solomon wanted to take advantage of that rule.
Meanwhile at PSG they're filling up an already overfilled squad
Kang-in Lee was linked to Spurs several times - most probably coz of Son. If he turns into a top class player it means he'll be the 2nd Korean player, after Kim, who got away despite of Son heavily recommendations...
