If Napoli sell Oshimen this summer (as most seem to think) then they won’t sell Kvaratskhelia in the same window.
In fact, Napoli are supposedly working on a new contract.

The danger of Napoli being open to offers on both players but only selling one, is anyone bidding for Kvara risks being strung along by Naploli until deep into the window.

The if Naploli decide they have got bigger bids for Osimhen and decide he's the one they want to sell, bidders for Kvara are deep into window left urgently looking round for a top LW to buy.

Almost certainly Napoli will be talking to both players as well - great strategy for Napoli to maximise the sale proceeds for them this window and probably also when they sell the 2nd player. But a real banana skin for bidders for either player this window - big win or a big problem if they focus on the player who ends up not being sold.

Tottenham handed transfer dilemma with Daniel Levy set to miss out on £13m sale

Tanguy Ndombele joined Tottenham from Lyon in a club-record £63million deal in 2019 but the Frenchman has failed to live up to expectations and is now facing an uncertain future following his struggles on loan at Galatasaray

Lazy cunt's pissed away another loan.

Just write him off and move on, it's what Arse did with Pepe. Its what a big club would do. And as Homer Simpson so wisely said.... let's never speak of this again.

I'd go as far as to say that the squad and Ange has exceeded expectations. Had we not lost silly games to Wolves and Fulham, we'd be sitting 2 points behind City; and 5 points off the top and well in the title race.

Fine margins make all the difference, and a couple of squad changes and next season we could really be in the hunt for the title.

Either Bissouma steps up and improves, or we need a new number 6.

Son isn't getting any younger so we will need a consistent striker option who can rotate - not just be a bench warmer for when Son gets injured.

Johnson is going to be a huge star.

Agree. That 6 is critical to our chances. We are too soft in midfield without the Bissouma of the first third of the season. Need that player back.

Bayern offered more money than us.

Utterly irrelevant.
It doesn’t matter what a club offers if the player doesn’t want to join them.

The selling club can refuse to let the player go or accept the lower bid (which, I’m guessing, was on a par with Bayern — if indeed they made one as there is NO confirmation so probably just an inquiry )

Radusin is quoted as saying that he wanted to play in tbe EPL.

To repeat myself over and over again: real players (outside of FIFA and Football Manager) have agency.
It’s why Luis Diaz is at Liverpool and not at Spurs as much as you want to blame our ownership/talent management team.

You asked why would a player choose us over Liverpool or woolwich.

I'm ignoring the stupid woolwich simping.

Diaz did choose the dippers and they offered him more wages.

But we persuaded Dragusin and Bergvall to choose us over Bayern and Barca so there is no reason we should be scared to compete with the dippers for a player.

You are just typing words tbh.

Oh, do fuck off with this one. It’s pretty plain that I can’t stand Woolwich.

And we persuaded Emerson Royal to join us from Barca and Djed Spence to come from Middlesbrough. So fucking what?

If you can’t see the difference between getting a player like Kvara to come versus Bergvall then this conversation is pointless.
Here’s a hint: one is just starting a career and miles away from the first team, the other will step into almost any team in Europe. Completely different cases and completely different needs.

Any conversations and assurances Bergvall might have had from the Barca manager is moot because he’s leaving.

If you think Kvara is closer to the Bergvall situation than Diaz then I can’t help you.

Stick to commenting on Third Party politics in the U.S. You make more sense there.

Stick to fucking off and not telling me what to do.I didn't aks you to respond to any my posts you fucking melt. Go fuck yourself.

The rest of your post was gibberish as well. Can't be fucked with it.

There is no reason we should be scared to compete with the dippers for Kvara, Bergvall or Lionel fucking Messi.
