Would be funny if Levy just went and paid it.

To be fair, that should be well within our financial capabilities. £140M nett spend, whilst our wage to revenue %age is something like 45%?
One offers 20, other wants 25. deal will be for between 20 and 25…
genius reporting.
Only issue is Williams isn't coming to Spurs because he doesn't want to go anywhere but Barcelona and Olise would cost much more than 60m.
I mean, we would need to spend more than that this summer because we need xx #8s to replace PEH and Lo Celso as well. And at least a RB to replace Emerson and even then maybe a RB that plays CB or a hybrid LB/LCB.
We can raise maybe:
Spence 6m
Emerson 20m
PEH 15m
GLC 12m
Skipp 15m
Rodon 15m
That's about 80m.
If we think the 90-100m net spend of last summer is what to expect, then we have 180m total outgoings to play with this summer. Really should be more if we really do want to challenge.
We have heard that reported on Williams but it could also end up possible. Bilbao will need to make something out of his sale and he won't screw the club over, same way Kane didn't screw us over.
His contract runs out in 2027.
If he doesn't get his Barca move this summer, he'll just stay another year and such is his loyalty will probably keep signing yearly contracts until he gets his dream move.
Maybe so, but the sentiment remains the same. The transfer outlay and wage demands are well within our structure to allow for us to get either them or players of similar stature.
Of course, you need to add in the caveat that they also need to be the right fit and character, but if we do scout players of that type, the fee and wages shouldn't really be an issue.
He's on a fortune there.
Barca are properly skint.
They can't even register Flick as their coach yet.
Yeah, I think Eze and someone like Kubo are much more realistic.
Though Kubo did sign a new deal in Feb until 2029 - so he may actually cost more than Eze anyway when you consider Sociedad got 70m euros for Isak.
Then they'll just loan him until possible. Nico has been more than loyal to Bilbao, theyre not going to deny his dream.
Right.
Forget the actual names but the budget and quality of player should be achievable.
They won't let him go on loan mate. Not when he can get them 50m.
And even on loan, Barca can't register him unless they sell players.
We'll see.
I reckon Williams would rather just stay at Bilbao than sign for anyone else other than Barcelona.
There's a reason Barcelona want to sell Raphinha and Ferran Torres.
Now rate my list
He might do for sure. La Liga would prefer that too
But, unless the Saudi's come in AND Raphinha or Torres are willing to go there (unlikely) Barca aren't selling Raphinha or Torres any time soon. Getting players to go Saudi seems to be a real issue now. Seems they all hate it over there.
We're not going to bring in 6-7 players of that value in a single window, and expecting them to gel and challenge in their first season is a bit Unicorns and Rainbows.
My expectations would be 3 players of that higher quality, for midfield & frontline, with a couple of astute punts. All should be within our capabilities and not overly affect our future FFP wriggle room, particularly as we can expect our revenue to increase as well.
Other than Chelsea going mental over the last few windows, I can't recall anyone else topping a £200M nett spend in a single window, other than City last year.
If we bring in £80M, and spend £200M, that is easily within our capabilities, so 3 players in the £50-70M bracket, with a couple of £10-20M astute buys would be what I'd expect personally.
Postecoglou's own signing at risk as Tottenham launch €50m bid for Japan ace
A Tottenham attacker could be ditched as Ange Postecoglou has greenlit a €50m offer for an electric Japan ace, according to reports.

Takefusa Kubo …he’s 5 foot eight , weighs 10 stone and is a tricky winger playing in Spain ; apparently.
What could possibly go wrong….
