Basically what happened to Todibo but with Barca. Making the big move too early can be a disaster.
FWIW I think Guler has gone to Real too early as well. Especially with Mbappe adding even more logjam to the rotation.

So Villa get 25m plus Enzo + Illing Jr for Douglas Luiz. Great deal tbh. Don't know what Juve are up to.
I assume you don’t rate Luis ? He was one of their best players last season.
Dragusin’s agent is probably already agitating for a move from Inter because he hasn’t played enough.According to Spurs Web we're after Kristjan Asllani with the possibilty of sending Dragusin the other way as part of the deal.
Report suggests a strange swap deal for Spurs and Inter Milan this summer
InterLive suggest that Tottenham could offer Radu Dragusin to Inter Milan in a swap deal for Kristjan Asllani this summer, just five months after signing...www.spurs-web.com
Its a much better deal than the one that included McKennie that's for sure.
I rate Douglas Luiz but Barrenechea has a very high ceiling and in Emerys system and his coaching he could end up being alot better. Iling Jr is a bit of an unknown quantity but I think depth is depth, I'd have taken him here as Udogie back up.
He plays for Brentford.
Judge him on playing for a team that actually has the ball in the front 3rd of the pitch occasionally.
That's complete bullshit then mate
It wouldn't surprise me if this sort of thing was more common place than you realise. IE, buying a player with little intention of using him, for the main reason of sending him on to another team to do another deal.According to Spurs Web we're after Kristjan Asllani with the possibilty of sending Dragusin the other way as part of the deal.

Clive Allen to Woolwich for example.
He was signed from QPR with the intention of sending him to Palace in exchange for Kenny Sansom. The reason being QPR would not sell Allen to Palace as a (then) rival. And Palace wouldn't let Sansom go to Woolwich until they could get Allen.
For many years, my (naive) dad thought it was because boring Woolwich thought Allen wasn't defensive minded enough. It was transfer chess.
And it's probably one of the reasons there is a ban on players playing for more than 3 teams a season now.
I actually think Levy pulled this stunt with Zeki Fryers too. He was close to joining us on a free, subject to compensation due as a youth player at United. Levy wouldn't stump up, so he went abroad on a totally free transfer. For 6 months, then came to Spurs on a free.
I believe this sort of thing is more common than most believe.
Or judge him on having a skill set and profile suited to a team that doesn’t have the ball.
We need energy, pressing without the ball and pace up front.
I think it's his barber they need to reach an agreement with.
Unless Dragusin himself kicks up a fuss, he ain't going anywhere this summer. He's on higher wages at Spurs than he'd be at Inter to begin with...and probably knows that as soon as Cuti is off, he's our starting RCB.
Inter will sign Calafiori, I reckon. Acerbi, De Vrij and Darmian are getting on a bit, Pavard has had his injury troubles. That way they'd have Italy's CB pairing playing for them.
I feel like we need someone that can take a half chance. Next season, a lot of teams will sit deep and cede possession to us. Even some of the better ones. Most of them are going to hump it long to prevent anyone in our front line pressing and winning the ball back.
That template is set, I'd be shocked if anyone does anything other than that unless they're absolutely convinced they good enough to play their own game and not get caught out. Woolwich, maybe City but even City were fairly happy to stand off at our place recently.
I don't think Richie is the sort of player to consistently score with half chances when we finally get into good scoring positions. And even if h did, I don't think he'll reliably play week in week out.
For the record, I don't think Toney is a superstar or anything.
I just think in terms of actual, attainability, he's up there. We're not going out and getting a world class striker.
If we aren’t getting a world class striker then get one that has the ability to develop into one.
We can’t complain at the club for not being ambitious and then be happy with them signing bang average players because they are attainable
