Brentford's price may not be low.
And Spurs have limited negotiating position to suggest they will go after a different player if Brentford try to massively over value a player

Levy licking his lips that he can sell Romero, buy Collins and pocket the change
Hi DanielI’m not fussed if we don’t get mbuemo I think kula would do just aswell off the right in Franks system
Feel like people big upping Semenyo think they see the next Mane but I don’t think Semenyo is or ever will be as polished.

Won't somebody please think of the agents?!I really don't see the point in closing the window for 6 days.
Mbueno is miles ahead of Johnson as an attacker and would certainly help Porro more on the right.Mbuemo may well be a fantastic signing (although I’m personally unconvinced), but is a right sided attacker, that replaces our top scorer, really the most imminent need this squad has?
Why aren’t we being linked with a defensive midfielder who has legs and eyes that work?
A small window really intended to benefit clubs in the Club World Cup.Window closes at 7pm, so there should be plenty of activity today.

Surely not.
I've been assured many times on TFC that its only Spurs that doesn't pay what the selling club wants![]()
Every winger I can think of is miles ahead of Johnson. Either way, Mbuemo or Semenyio will make us a lot better. Also having a winger that can actually beat his man give more space to other players on the field.:

To me - hope is that we can improve our back-end with better structure and utilisation of our current players. So i.e. playing with double pivot and keeping organized shape as a team could decrease urgency of buying top level DM.Mbuemo may well be a fantastic signing (although I’m personally unconvinced), but is a right sided attacker, that replaces our top scorer, really the most imminent need this squad has?

do you think that's likely to happen?Eze talk could get interesting if Palace get kicked out of Europe.
All we need is some highly experienced heads (proven internationals/Champions league experience) amongst our young squad to help with the demands of 25/26 season
Someone like Aymeric Laporte in Defence - still playing for the Spanish national team yet plays in Saudi so is very gettable always a solid performer
CM - Joao Paulinha - proven international enforcer massive hit in the premier league not really been given much of a run in the Bayern first team since he moved from Fulham due to the form of Pavlovic and Kimmich
LW - the Leroy Sane rumour mill just keeps gathering pace and he would be a serious upgrade on Son
CF - Dusan Vlahovic - with Paratici coming back into the club and his links to Juventus and the fact he has been recommended before plus the supposed 20 million price tag whats not to like
These 4 players are just examples of very gettable targets without breaking the bank with the kind of experience needed to compete and compliment the current Spurs squad
I really hope the board do not waste big money on Brian Mbuemo
Wouldn't be surprised if our business is so bad that there is little change. Can see Romero forcing a move and going for around 50m, then wouldn't be surprised if Brentford got the full 50m for Collins.
I'd never trust us to do shrewd business anyway. We spent more on Solanke and Johnsen than we got for Kane!
Yeah thats my guess. We'll end up buying Branthwaite for more than Romero so will be awful business in the short term. We'll use Richarlsion to soften the blow so probably hand over between 30-40m on top.
You know if it was us, we'd be out and there would be no arguments.
