Hazard is an interesting example. Story goes we really stood a chance to get him.
I know we did (which is why I cited him).
Until.......?

I don't know if you have some crystal ball or have some exclusive insight into football trading but this is genrally how trading markets work, it's actually pretty simple...if there's less money going around in the market then the value of assets drop considerably.
Nope, it isn't.
Premium assets still have a very limited supply and still come at a premium, even if demand for less premium assets is reduced.
I'm sure deep down all Spurs fans would like to see the club competing to sign the best players.

I meant we haven’t improved since the January signingsYeah sure we didn't do enough and we haven't improved at all have we
What are we even doing here?
I do like the kid, he's got such good feet for a big man. Gets involved in the build-up, great eye for a pass, knows which runs to make. Does feel like a Spurs player too. But he wouldn't get as much time in the PL, and his lack of pace worries me a tad. But still young & with the right guidance...no doubt he has plenty upside.Piatek did nothing like what Zirkzee can do in the build up.
I do agree Zirkzee is a way off Kane's level for now, especially as a finisher but just making the point he has that type of ceiling.
I have like De Ketelaere playing CF when i've seen it. Used to play 10 so has the ability to be that type fo CF that can dictate games in the buildup as well.

Friends of mine who are PSG fans (pre-Qatar ownership) firmly believe Thiago Motta will be their HC next season and that he'll bring Zirkzee along with him. Talking about a deal where Bayern get Kolo Muani or Ramos to work around that 40% resale clause in the boy's contract.
Whatever happens, I don't see him at Bologna next season, even if they get CL footy.

Yeah true. If Motta doesn't go PSG, he'll go to Inter, Juve...maybe even Barca.Neither Motta or Zirkzee will be at Bologna next season.
The PSG thing is interesting but their owners will decide what happens there and they need to stroke their ego after losing Mbappe. Osimhen will end up at PSG for sure imo.
Enrique was always the wrong choice for PSG, but they're such a weird friggin club, so poorly run by Qatar. I mean, they've had Carlo, Tuchel, Emery...proven managers who've won big trophies...failed there despite having all the money in the world.They've given up on Luis Enrique already?
Motta definitely due a step up though. Knew be was destined for great things when I saw him rock a 272 formation years back.
Yeah true. If Motta doesn't go PSG, he'll go to Inter, Juve...maybe even Barca.
I don't think Osimhen ends up in Paris, even if they somehow manage to get rid of Kolo Muani and/or Ramos...combined cost of 170mil btw, so good luck with that. Think he'll go to Chelsea personally...or Bayern if Harry decides to move on.
Chavski don't have FFP room for a transfer that big unless they sell Gallagher or Colwill.
Nearly a goal every other game for Coventry but what do you think the posters on TFC would have said if we had went in for him last summer?Bit of a head scratcher how no prem teams bought him from Cov.

I am not suggesting we could or should have gone for him but if we had the natives here would have got restless.Scoring in Portugal isn't the best indicator of success in the prem.
Neither is a goal every other game in league 1.
