I'm not happy with our CB options, so we need to spend big there.
Romero injury prone, VdV raw and young, rest not nearly good enough.
They don’t want to think rationally…I've addressed this before, but my logic in not including the money for Porro & Kulu in this window is:
Loaning a player to buy them at a future date is equivalent to buying a player now but not paying much up-front (small loan fee).
I'll use Woolwich buying Raya as an example- for FFP reasons they've 'loaned' him, but they will end up paying 30m for him, and they have a 30m goalkeeper now. So it makes more sense to count that 30m towards their net spend this season, rather than next summer.
LeParisien Arguing that we should count the spend of 'loaned' players with buy clauses at the time of the loan is obviously not the the same as not counting Rice and Havertz for Woolwich's transfer window. Please try and think rationally...
It’s so simple, you count the spend when the player first signs a contract with the club.
With Angeball we need at Least 1 fox in the box type of player.
Both are bang average and at the age they aren’t getting much better
Don’t think he has one?
Probably has to play a 9 in Ange's system.
Tbh we have enough 'versatile' WFs in Son/Richy.
I wouldn't mind buying Orban as a pure No.9 back up, with the aiming of being first XI next season.
We need to spend this £100+ million on 3 positions in my opinion… ST, CB and CAM.
Eze would be ideal. He’s got the potential to be world class.
Gift Orban is also a top talent, we should be all over him.
CB - I think we’ve moved on from Tapsoba. We need someone who can slot in and there be no drop in quality.

Really doesn’t matter what we the fans think , Levy should 100% back Ange and get him the player he wants to fit his system .
Im sure he knows who he wants . It’s down to Levy now .

GOAT
Reason I'm against signing Eze is two fold:
1. I don't rate him as highly as 60m... he's already 25 so won't necessarily improve that much. I watched a bit of Palace last season, and he was on similar level to Olise and Zaha. Palace's attack didn't even score that many goals.
2. We already have many players at LW: Son, Solomon, Perisic, Rich, Gil (injured)
And at No.6 position in midfield we have: Maddison, Bissouma, GLC, Sarr
So I don't think it makes any sense to spend the bulk of the Kane money on him. Surely better to go for Orban at CF and BIG on another CB?
Just a reminder that the guy is already 25. He isn't a youngster.
Why do you think clubs push for loans with obligations?I've addressed this before, but my logic in not including the money for Porro & Kulu in this window is:

He doesn't need to be a youngster, he's the finished article.
Payment structure perhaps?
My point is that it makes sense to count the spend in the window the loan itself, for reasons already explained.
Regardless, your comparison with not counting Rice and Havertz for Woolwich as an analogy made 0 sense.
we should raid juve for chiesa and vlahovic double swoop
No - my example was to show that you have excluded them ARBITRARILY.
It makes sense to count spending when the payments begin.
Payment structure? It’s not really a secret. The purpose is so that the spending begins at a later date, mostly for FFP reasons. That’s the whole point. If they wanted the spending to be made straight away then that’s what they would do.
To listen to you the difference is cosmetic - pay by cash or card - but there are meaningful reasons for this type of deal which you want to ignore.
Completely disagree.
