Sky Italia is reporting the Chiesa interest now, there's decent amount of smoke, but no actually good sources.
Davies is HG though (but not club trained)
I really want Eze, if we sign him and the players above, I would be excited.
Same - when you have Richy and Son competing as 9, it seems pointless…. Like polishing a gun that doesn’t have bullets, or putting lipstick on a pig
150M might tempt them I reckon with their PSR constraints
It will be another 35M so material amount but well worth a gamble - we’ve free’d up more than 35M in annual cost reduction of wages in the last 12 months so absolutely no reason not to pay it
It feels like it’s pointing this way with all these Edwards stories. I wouldn’t be surprised
We were expecting this poo pooing weren’t we?
Yup, very underwhelming. Don’t understand all the hype!
I get the hype because he's quality but he's just not a natural fit. hes an inside 10, that's where he does his best work.
Would you rather Neto play 25 games and be injured for 25 games or have Solomon available on the bench for 50 games?
The full quote sounds like a long winded way of saying "I don't know".
"So while the links between Tottenham and the versatile Chiesa have been strong and widespread in his homeland, those in and around Spurs have been left non-plussed by the stories with football.london understanding that the player is not believed to be one of Postecoglou's original targets and therefore there is no truth to the current reports.
The actual targets appear to lie elsewhere and if they were to eventually turn to someone like Chiesa before the window ends then it would only suggest that Tottenham would no longer be in what Postecoglou deemed as "that phase where what we identified is still what we're after."
Yeah, it was obvious when Postecoglou said we were still after our initial targets. IMO i reckon its Eze, Neto and Gallagher. They're the names that have been knocking around for months. Only other possible i could think of is Raphinha instead of Neto as Barca wont want to sell until they have signed Williams which might explain the delays. Maybe Ramsey as a contingency if Gallagher doesnt happen. I hope i'm wrong on a couple of those. I reckon we only move for a CF if and when we sell Richarlison.We were expecting this poo pooing weren’t we?
I posted it more for the palace fans opinions, hence why I said interesting comments in the thread
Yeah that’s exactly what I reckon too. Once you’ve sifted through all the transfer tittle tattle bullshit, those are the names that consistently come up. The only one I doubt is Neto, just because it seems such an insane signing for us to actually follow through with given all the risks. It’s the kind of transfer that ultimately, if it goes wrong, ends up helping to cost the manager his job.
Neto's number of starts in the last 4 seasons: 18,13,5,30
So, chances are that he isn't available for even 25 games, especially considering how much more intensive Angeball is compared to anything Wolves have played. The man makes Richy and Chiesa look like rocks.
Plus what's even the point of comparison? The choice isn't between Neto and Solomon but Neto and another winger like Chiesa.
No point missed. But I appreciate you're starting to see my point and understand that this whole business of players being "For Sale" is just a load of nonsense.
So, we both agree. The length of contract (long or short) most definitely has a bearing on the potential fee and the selling clubs bargaining power. But doesn't determine wether or not the player is or isn't "up for sale"
Hell. Players are often tied to longer contracts with the sole purpose of increasing the value of the fee in the event of a sale.
This is good. I like it when disagreements can be resolved without petty insults and fighting.
The rest of the forum should take heed.
I really like Eze too and I would love to get him to add some real depth of quality but the money could be spent to get a proper CF and a wide winger type
