Some rumours flying about Romero to Real Madrid. If they come knocking, I'm sure he will be tempted. Who wouldn't be?
They need to pay a hell of a lot of money to pry him off or hands that's for sure. But if it happens, who will we replace him with.
Tapsoba? How has his season been? Can he play in the right?
What was the name of that defender in the French League, with a doubtful attitude, used to belong to Barcelona. How has hise season been?
Who else might be considered?

We can spend big and spend well - not every deal has to be valueWe spent £60m on Ndombele
We spent considerably less on Udogie
Who has been better value?
It is NOT about the amount spent. It’s about proper scouting and being prepared to go hard for the players identified.
That’s it.
There’s no argument you can come back with that will prove that wrong so don’t even bother.
Consider this doneski.
Oh and ‘patronising weasel’? You speak to me the way you just did toAirfixx and you will fucking well regret it.
IF the right player is scouted and deemed a good fit then yes.
So long as the transfers prove to be successful, I don’t care.
But that’s the key point - successful.
This isn’t fucking football manager. Just coz us spending a ton of money would give you a tiny boner, doesn’t mean it’s right.
I’ll judge each transfer on how the players get on, not how much was spent on them.
Agree -my point is if the data guys want someone like Oshimen, Ange wants him and he’s going to cost 120M, will we back them to augment the other excellent value signingsIF the right player is scouted and deemed a good fit then yes.

Yeah I've got no issue with that.
But obviously it's nice to finally have a scouting system that seems to be working for us.
As with most things in life...balance. Splash out when the right player is there, but getting those value signings in are just as, if not more important.
We're not a million miles away from each other on this.
I assumed that's why we are being linked with more defenders. RM are a bitch to deal with but hopefully previous levy interactions make them know not to bother.
I’m not convinced we will splash out for the right player….
25 years old, not even at his peak with 3 years still to run. It would cost them an absolute fortune. 100 mill at least. Dont see that happening
be a great signing for them though to be fair
I hope you are rightIrrelevant coz it won't happen.
If Real M. wants a player they'll get him almost no matter the fee (but I am not saying Romero is their target).
In theory yes.
But don't look at the success rate of our top 20 highest fees paid for players. Its appalling.
Take heart from the success rate of the players we bought from top 20 downwards - its pretty dam good !
I’ve heard very good things about both when I was perusing Belgian league stuff for Orban.
Tottenham hot on table-topping duo with efforts stepped up to raid club for striker, centre-back stars
Tottenham have reportedly sent scouts to watch Union Saint-Gilloise pair Mohamed Amoura and Koki Machida and will 'closely' follow their performances in the coming months.www.teamtalk.com

I think this is true as we are now pretty much assured of CL or EL placing and need a decent sized squad of quality players for either.
But that does not mean we need to or will spend 100m (or even close) on any one player. Reason very simply is we need to recruit say 5 good players, and cannot do that if we splurge 100m on one
I don't see why they should either, we've done some really good work over the last few windows to improve the team, we shouldn't suddenly stop doing that because we are in another competition.
Mbappe says hello. They have been after him for years. They no longer have ultimate buying power They had to wait out the Nija Turtels contract and would have too for Romero. That means we have him for two and a half more seasons minimum, by which time we will have knocked them out of the ECL on our way to winning it. Bothered not bothered
.
Ange is just keeping the seat warm for Allardyce. Big Ange to Big Sam.
What a twat you are....
Don't pretend you were in the offing for a reasonable mature discussion..... You're a self-confessed troll.
Also; I've put a lot of money through those turnstiles so go fuck yourself, you rancid little racist homophobe. x
