Paqueta being a moron could strangely bite us in the ass.
That's what happens when you splash 100m on a speed merchant... scouting would have probably kept them from buying him.
I agree.
My reading is that the club is being respectful to our long time captain by continuing to pay him until he finds a new club. It was clear when he didn't go on the pre-season tour that all sides accepted his time at Spurs was up.
I suspect there's a verbal agreement with Lloris & his agent that if he goes to a big club we may ask for a nominal fee, and if he goes to a medium-sized club he can leave for free.
The challenge is that Lloris wants to be first choice, and the number of clubs that will make him first choice and pay his large salary is fairly small. His agent's failure to get clarity on Hugo's role at clubs bidding for him is exacerbating the situation.
If Hugo is still here at the end of window, it's likely we don't register him and seek to loan him out so some other club pays his wages for the rest of the season. IIRC the loan window continues for a week or so after the permanent transfer window closes.
This is really the problem though, isn’t it? If Galatasary come in for Dier we might accept anything but he won’t. Hugo has a chance to move on but he won’t. Nobody is going to pay Tanguy anything close to what he wants so he won’t move because he’s not motivated by playing obviously. PEH seems like he wants to to, but it appears Atletico are dragging their feet.
I said from the start of the summer I was more worried about outgoings than incomings so I’m not happy about it either. That said it’s like we have a used car lot full of broken down shit cars and we’re wondering why we just can’t sell them already. To make it worse it’s like the cars get to have a say as well.
I wouldn’t be surprised that we hit the end of the window and we start mutually terminating contracts.
Bastoni is better than Lenglet, but he's the same type of player, with the same limitations, he'd have been killed playing surrounded with Perisic and Dier.
And I'm not blaming Conte, I'm saying he clearly had plenty of money to throw around, and if he wanted to spend big on an CB he could've, but he preferred Lenglet cause he clearly liked players of that profile.
I think its more tempting to wonder whether three cunts have just decided to run down their contract instead of actually going somewhere they can play
:llorisunsure:
With Eze being a BASE client, we'll have an inside track on progress here.
Frustratingly, if Guardiola wants Eze, he probably goes there. Their bid for Paqueta shows they have the cash to do a deal with Palace.
Mate there’s not a hope in hell we were going to bid anywhere near what Palace would want for him.
Paqueta acting the sack or not, this was never happening.
He is very underrated ( Awoniyi)
Liverpool had him and he went to Germany amd forest nabbed him..
I think he got 11 league goals and he missed half the season through injury
This season sure, but we could definitely bid for him next season when he's on his last year of contract, if City don't get him by then.
You could be right…
I just fail to see how if interested clubs didn’t have to deal with Tottenham and Daniel Levy that it wouldn’t increase the amount of offers being made to Hugo?
There were reports lately that we were still looking for a fee of some sort, which is sure to detract potential suitors.
Depends on where he wants to go, I doubt any CL team would have problems paying what we'd want for Lloris, maybe if he wants to go to a smaller French club it would be a barrier.
We’ve had a look at this bloke in the past. I wonder if we might have another nibble. One of Paratici’s favourites.

Club 'want no less than €20m' to sell player to Nottingham Forest - Want to sell him to raise funds - Sport Witness
The last we heard from the Italian media about Nottingham Forest wanting Samuel Iling-Junior from Juventus was about a week ago. The news was that Steve Cooper’s side were interested in both Filip Kostic and the former Chelsea youngster to bolster their squad, with the belief they were going to...

We pay agents to find them clubs too
Because we're run by ineptitude.
People need to rub the shit out of their eyes. They're not here for glory, they're here for business. I've explained how they line their pockets without taking club funds hundreds of times so I'm not doing it again.
I’m not. I’m concerned with the composition of our squad. I in no way expect perfection but I think we have 2 clear weaknesses:-
1) We’re an attacking player short. Whether that’s a CF or a wide player, it feels to me like we’re a body short in the attacking areas in the absence of Kane. This is compounded by the poor performances of Richy and the inconsistency of Son over the last 12 months.
2) Depth at CB. VDV has looked a great buy in his first 2 games but the prospect of Romero getting a bad injury and us reverting to Sanchez, Dier or Tanganga petrifies me, and it has the possibility of unravelling our whole season. No additional CB is very poor risk management from the club IMO.
I’m not into panic buying and I want us to buy the right players for Ange’s system, but we’ve needed more CB reinforcements for 2 years now and if we’ve genuinely known Kane was likely to leave all summer I don’t accept we shouldn’t have appropriate options lined up. Maybe we do, there’s still time I guess.
NB i dont agree with those saying we need an additional CM, even if one of PEH or GLC leave. We have enough quality options there IMO and I want Bentancur to get mins when he’s back and available. I think he fits this system like a glove.
So in summary, not about money for me, all about need.

He’s deluded. The only player that stayed home when the club went on tour. He’s had MONTHS to do nothing but focus on a move. The only thing we’ve heard is him rejecting a move to Lazio because of playing time !
