Let him tear up the Shakhtar game and add 5m to his price. Or pay 12m now Gala
Worth a try. His story is mental.
Looks like he’s just randomly has every finish you could want and uses both feet. Maybe a mini genius
Bit short though.
Can he play off the wing as well?
Alright my good man, been away a few days, think last time I logged in I was on page 1436 or summit. What's happened since then?
Lemme guess...still no CB, Kane deal still not done, people still arguing who's to blame?
Nice one
No idea. Can't say I've ever heard of him outside of the few on here that recommend him.
Seems like the type of signing Brighton or Brentford or someone would make who'd come in and get double digit goals and people will be like "they've done it again"
But knowing our toxic fanbase he'd be berated the moment he got here.
"we've give from Kane to this?"
"Never done it in a top league"
Etc etc.
Maybe we should stick to big money 60m striker signings to show ambition.
Shhh. Carry on. Nothing to see here
10 mil euros for a dude we paid what, 65 mil GBP? Fuck me! Worst bit of biz ever.
I assume that together they might have been.
If he tore up the Shakhtar game. Wouldn't we just rather he stayed?
Those are some tidy stats tbf

Trolling the Red Scum - I like it - get him in.
Theory: we need to sell to buy, and we'll be able to buy both Tapsoba and VDV once we sell Kane.
Here's some (circumstantial) evidence in support of this:
This is our net spend over the last 5 seasons:
23/24: £-107.12m
22/23: £-118.93m (8th)
21/22: £-52.38m (4th)
20/21: £-83.08m (7th)
19/20: £-73.5m (6th)
Despite this being the only season with no European football, this is our second highest spending window so far. "But Porro doesn't count! We wanted to pay his fee last window and only agreed to pay it this window due to Sporting's demands!" fair enough, subtract the £34m we paid for Porro and add it to the last window instead, that'd still put this window at around the average of 19/20-21/22, despite no European football. And no, I'm not going to substract the Kulu fee as well, that was negotiated and paid this window.
Besides that, we are planning to sell around £130-140m worth of players (let's say £90m for Kane, £40-50m for the rest of the gang), does anyone think we're going to spend more than £130m this window? On who? Tapsoba + VDV is around £80m, let's say another £20m for Orban. Do you really think we have an extra £50m to throw around beyond that to buy Tapsoba now?

They aren’t. Sanchez is on about 65k, winks prob 50k? That’s a massive diff to Lenglet wage of 200
I would disagree with this.
We’ve know for how long that we’ve needed to replace Lloris.
If Raya was identified as the first choice, in such a key position, where he could be our keeper for 10 years, suits the style of our new manager to a tee and has genuine, proven quality, then is 40 million really that excessive in todays market?
In one of Pochettino’s best describing quotes re our transfer policy “we cannot keep trying to be clever in the market and expecting success”
Fcuking waster. Zaha will embarrass him for the lack of effort this guy delivers.
I just hope we agree a fee, and no nonsense haggling.

40m for a goalkeeper with one year left on his contract is most definitely excessive.
Again, Raya is the quintessential Levy signing. One year left on his deal, Prem proven, HG and should have realistically been pretty cheap. It's just that Brentford overpriced him and we didn't want to get fleeced.
Raya and Maddison are pure Levy signings. Both had all the same hall marks. Except one was actually worth what he was priced at.
Vicario, going off what Ange wants in a goalkeeper, looks more of a realistic fit anyway. And considering Anges positive words on Vicario's hard work to get where he's got, tells me all I need to know on what Ange wants from a personality standpoint in his players.
I just find it hilarious that if we were after say, Onana but got quoted 40m and said no to it only to go and sign Raya, who has one year left on his deal, for 15m, the club STILL would have got pelters.
It's not about the goalkeeper or their ability. It's about a fanbase point scoring over fees and supposed ambition. I remember "just pay the fee" when it came to Porro. It was never a about ability. Because it was people who'd never seen Porro play. The same people now crucifying him for not being a good enough defender.
Fear not, the War Chest has been recovered!!!! We just need to find the keys now and the fun begins!!!!!!
