Bit surprised not to see David Bentley on that list . 23 years in the job and still has not learned anything in my opinion , quite remarkable
People obsessing over getting every possible last million. Do the deal, move on
it does tbh, i would take sane if they had to offer a player, no way musiala would come to us so may aswell take the money imo
Dier won't leave even if we make his place someone else's. Will be a free transfer next year, and that'd be embarrassing for ENIC as it'd be 10 years here.
Declining 15 instead of a fair value 25-30..... Isn't "obsessing" nor is it over a nominal 1 or 2 million.
Unless he gets offered a new contract.
Fair value? Where is that 25-30M offer from? Which club have countered more than Atletico?
That would genuinely be depressing. Levy might get lynched in the first home game
Yh on paper mate but if we are needing to get players out before we bring in that's a big problem
Correct, noone else is even interested in him
If we get back what we paid then that's fine by me.
We had an opportunity to sell years ago but we didn’t. United were prepared to pay 50(?!) million. At that time (under Poch), most of the fanbase were against selling.
He’s 3 years past his sell-by date.
But he had signed a 4 year contract.
Everything else is moot.
This went down well then.......
Yep, reminds me a lot of Jermain Defoe, think he would do very well with us - got a feeling he will end up somewhere like West Ham though
Yep, Mourinho was desperate to sign him for Utd.
Wonder if this is what Stopped the negotiations today - we suddenly threw them a curve ball and they are considering thisAccording to a report by Matt Law of The Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur have shown sudden interest in 18-year-old Bayern Munich striker talent Mathys Tel. The youngster could soon find himself dragged into the Harry Kane saga, as the two clubs seek to finalize a deal for the England captain.
Currently, the report states that Bayern plan to keep Tel for the moment and have no intention of sending him out on loan. The youngster himself has been impressive in preseason so far, scoring five against Rottach-Egern as well as Bayern’s sole goal vs Manchester City.
Thomas Tuchel, however, does not seem like a fan of the youngster — he has shown he prefers experienced players like Choupo-Moting and Serge Gnabry at the top of the XI over a teenager like Tel.
Report: Spurs want Bayern Munich to exchange Mathys Tel for Harry Kane + The mundane reason why Levy canceled Friday’s meeting (Updated)
WHAT. Where did this come from?www.bavarianfootballworks.com
Nothing like Defoe mate. Defoe was about as pure of a poaching striker as has ever existed in football history. A last-man occupying instinctive finisher who plays off the shoulder constantly and shoots from the most wicked angles imaginable.
This guy is a winger in a 4-3-3 who runs at defenses and doesn’t even play Centre forward. The only player I’d actually compare favorably to Defoe in the past 20 years is Sergio Aguero. That’s how special JD was.
That’s the ‘con’ of offering a long contract.
The ‘pro’ is that you get to keep Harry Kane for an extra two years.
Most players don’t transfer in for very short contracts. They want security knowing that clubs will let them go if they play to a higher level.
Getting those contracts dead on is a dark art.
He is bigger and faster than Defoe, can play in a few attacking positions. Shoots quickly like Defoe though, I'd love to have him here.
That had crossed my mind too.
Goalkeeping loans are probably the hardest to sort out, even far down the pyramid, if you want them to actually have a good chance at playing.
Also, if Whiteman is out injured for a while, we won't be able to loan him and we would likely need to keep Austin around anyway as the 3rd choice so we might end up keeping both around
