You have to wonder, like with the naming rights, they are keeping that FFP headroom available to make us a more attractive takeover target.

Qatar could come in, name the stadium what they want and then splurge a load of cash as we have the headroom.

That's not too far off the realms of possibility, though I'd have thought that the 'supposed' asking price would negate that as a sweetener.

Same reason Kane is suddenly “the greatest prem striker ever” AFTER he’s leaving.

This has pissed me off more than it should.... We and he have been constantly disrespected for much of his career yet suddenly all his (fuck-headed) doubters disappear and he magically becomes regarded as exactly what all these so-called elite teams like BM, Man U, RM & PSG need to win the big pots.

The clamour for the country's best player to leave the country from our media is unprecedented.

Your mad.

Hojbjerg is not the best player but to get a replacement of same experience or preferably one who is better at attacking will cost double that fee.

Better to keep him and spend the extra money where we need it

Mad for what? 44m euros that's about £37m which is a good price for him.
He wasn't someone I would be looking to get rid of either but it appears that we want to sell and he wants to leave.

It's rather patronising (and arrogant) to suggest that Real Sociedad are "broke".

They are very well run on and off the pitch, sell very well and, unlike us, have champions league football next season.

All true.

But they will not learn much abut having Spanish international Reguilon on loan that they don't know now.

Sociedad's top transfer fee paid is about 20m - I suspect if they offered that for Reguilon its at least a talking point. doesn't need to be 100% cash up front so could be paid out of the cash they receive from CL if that's the way they budget

I'd rip their hands off for 10m..... A defender failing to establish themselves with all 3 of Jose, Conte & Simeone isn't a good look.

Holding out for 20m when no-one else would likely pay it either would be folly.

Not for me.....

Apparently not for the big man either.

Strange way of showing it too. You’re telling me it’s more important for Davies to fill in at CB instead of getting reps in his preferred position in a new system? Doubtful.

Ange hasn’t had a bad word to say about any of the players.

He’s hinted that Sanchez is exploring options and we know Hugo didn’t go on the trip.

Davies is only here to be a veteran presence and help with the HG quota

It seems Hojbjerg is no longer wanted at Spurs whereas the players we want are all key for their respective teams .. hence, inflated fees.

We have really strong midfield options & it seems clear Hojbjerg will be at best a squad player. There’s legitimate doubts he can play the way the new coach wants.

With all that in mind 20-25 million-ish seems a pretty fair offer.

Strongish midfield options but playing 3 in middle with :

Bentancur (unknown injury situation), Maddison, Bissouma, Skipp, Sarr and White - Devine likely to be loaned out to get enough playing time.

if we sell Hojbjerg, we would need to replace him.

We would NOT get a replacement for 20-25, more likely 40m+, so why sell someone who could do a job for us next season, or at least until we know if Bentancur is back as we remember him (December).

Better to focus on getting rid of players who have shown they won't put the effort in to play at Spurs so have no possible use next season and rather spend money on Hojbjerg's replacement focus money on CB('s) that we all agree we need

Back-up LB is hardly a new position for Davies.

He hasn't publicly praised them all though.

That's only your assertion though, mate.

This is it. This is why this club is so frustrating.

Years of frugality have allowed is to build up more FFP allowance to exploit each transfer window than any other Premier League club, ever, yet we constantly refuse to use this luxury to benefit the team, address glaring deficiencies, and back which ever manager is currently in post and give him the right tools to work with.

What's the point? What's it all about?

It's hardly surprising no manager has seen out a full season for half a decade when you think about it.

We are starting another season in total chaos.
No centre backs, No decision on Kane, (I even heard it was us that pushed the meeting with Bayern back to Monday. Because we have time to dick about.)
We also have a bulky dysfunctional squad that needed to be weeded but so far we've got shot of Winks.

It's a total mess again.

I've even seen some people claiming we need to sell Kane to get CB's.

Where the fuck is all the money???

With our LB options I think Udogie backed up by Davies might be what we end up with unless we can do better - whilst jettisoning Sessegnon, Reguilon and Perisic (possibly as LW).
