Sounds like Palinha is a done deal! I think its good business. We are missing that type of profile in midfield. I think himself and Bentancur in a double pivot would contemplate eachother very well. Palinha just feels like a much better version of Hojbjerg who always done well beside Bentancur.

Frank's post match interview yesterday confirms he absolutely loves Sarr. The balance in that midfield is also great with one being the 6, one box to box and one 10.

I'd be worried about the build up play in a Sarr Palinha double pivot personally. Think Bentancur or Bergval will need to play beside one of the other 2.

I will try to explain this failure just taking Sissoko as an example...

May 2016 - Mane comes to Spurs training ground ,very much open to move & play once again with Poch. We offer him 80k he asks for 130k a week. We drag it on hoping he will sign for Poch

June 2016 - Liverpool swoop in him and give him a salary of 110k a week and pay transfer fee 30m + 6m addon

31 Aug 2016 - After fuking around for the entire window, to appease Poch, Levy signs Sissoko on last day of window for.... 30m fee giving him 80k a week

In essence, we lose out a player who our manager desperately wanted to a rival who was finishing under us....because we were trying to squeeze out 1 to 2m from his wages...

Fast forward 5 years, Sissoko walks away on free transfer winning nothing....and giving away that pen in CL final to very same Mane.

On otherhand, Mane wins EFL cup, FA cup, PL , CL , Club world cup...and then gets sold to Bayern for 27m....

Failure of these transfers all have 1 underlying thing : We fuck around trying to penny pinch and let good players go to our rivals and then settling for 2nd or 3rd choice...who mope around for 4 years and go for less winning nothing....

You should put this on a placard and parade it around the ground on match days.
