No idea how realistic it is but with our new found financial muscle I would love Kudus, MGW, Wharton, Osimhen. If we landed those 4 without selling Romero we would have a very good side.
 
I agree that Wharton is special and generational IF we have all this money, bid big and test Palace

if Palace won't sell at any cost, go to Brighton for Baleba, they will sell at the right price
 
So did Ange and we binned him because he’s a shite manager.
I really don't get the Solanke hate, since he's been back in the prem.

He's 1 in 3 goal per game in prem and in all comps.

Also a 1 in 2 G/A per game in prem and all in comps.

Hes also a important cog in the team with his general play.

He can definitely improve on his output but it is by no means terrible.

Some people also slate him for being a hard worker.....yet him being a willing runner is what initiated Bruno Fernandes turning infield and rushing the pass that Sarr intercepted to go on and set up the only go in the Europa League Final.

The bigger issue is that he has no proper competition IMO.
 
Im a fan of Solanke, doesn’t mean he’s anywhere near Kane. It’s the same with Guehi to Romero.

No one is near Kane, but he still walked away without winning anything here (despite having opportunities).

Dom made a huge difference to our games because he kept to his position and made himself a nuisance, even without any service. A lot of the squad had awful stats because of a manager who had lost the plot, and they collectively won a trophy despite that fact.
Seems so bizarre to see Dom and Brennan getting called out like they don't deserve to be in the squad despite the fact that they covered Kane's goals and assists between them
 
If Juve are really proposing to come to terms to buy out Vlahovic's contract and he can be persuaded to accept realistic wages for his talent level I think he would be a no brainer to replace Richy who can then be shipped out for any amount really. I don't think Vlahovic is a top 4 level PL striker but he has different qualities to Dom and would be available for far more games than Richy. If there's any kind of chance that a move to the PL and working under Frank could recapture his best from when he was at Fiorentina on a free transfer it's a no brainer for me.
 
I reckon we will get wharton. When we want a player we normally get them. Unless chelsea steam in.

There is no way Wharton is worth 80m that Palace are asking for. He’s at best a 50m to 60m player at this stage of his development. He might become an 80m player if he develops, but why pay that money on a hope and a prayer?
I reluctantly agree. I'm a big Wharton fan and he looks the real deal to me from those fa cup performances last season. But he still hasn't fully broken into the England team and made that position his. He also started the season pretty poorly before missing a few months through injury which seems to have been forgotten due to his few epic fa cup performances. Very easy to make a case for him being overrated from that small sample of games.

I'd love him at Spurs and think he has all the potential to become one the best midfielders in the league. But he's not there yet and the 80m+ price tag is a bit mad. I'd agree that 50-60m is fair. I still think he has alot to prove to make it.
