Chelsea can get £30m for Renato Veiga (who???) from one of the perma-skint Spanish clubs, and yet we can't get that combined for Soloman, Bissouma, and Gil...

There's either something wrong with the rest of the footballing world, or there's something wrong with us.

Honestly think there is something dodgy going on with Chelsea's outgoings.

Reckon there's money changing hands in the background to address their PSR issues

A purchase value can be amortised but a sale can go straight into the profit column.

Fucking Gil still here! Dear me. Another shrewd bit of business that was. Always the cheap option. Not to worry though, we're about to 'splash out' on Dibling!!
 
" a more natural connection"
As expected, the excuses come flooding in when we missed out on yet another player "he isn't all that anyway" "this and that player would be a better fit anyway" 😂

Instead of shielding yourself from the dissapointment, be a man and suck it up everytime we get royally fucked, and turn it into anger against the owners.

Hilarious.

I actually like Dibling as a prospect for what it’s worth and think he could become a top player.

But being serious, he needs to turn us down. The pressure and toxicity from the fans will be immense. He’s nowhere near ready to contribute as a real player this season in big CL matches, and it’s unfair for us to expect that.

Have to sign the starting 10 first and it can’t be a kid.

Akliouche, Simons, Paz

But Dibling could easily find himself the 3rd 10 when Kulusevski gets back. Have a feeling Frank really likes Kulu.

He’s better off going to Everton
 
Really don't mind signing Dibbling in itself, but the poor kids gonna receive a bunch of unwarranted flack from the fans when he's not accompanied by an experienced, quality, and specialist "10".
Dibling is not ready to offer our first team any boost. He'll be a squad player at best and wouldn't start for most midtable teams in the prem! Thats the reality.

Nice kid I'm sure. Big potential (same as Gray, Bergval, Odobert and Moore) but not going to have any impact on our season. Might be a good long term signing- who knows. But its another Archie Gray type signing and that's why it'll be so uninspiring after missing out on Eze.
 
No.

"It nevertheless looked so remote by Saturday that Eze himself had accepted Woolwich wasn’t going to happen. He even spoke to Parish to try and get his move sorted, as Levy and the Palace chairman met on Monday morning. Eze was genuinely excited about joining Tottenham. It just wasn’t the one he really wanted. His dream was a move to Woolwich."

He had a preference, which is normal (especialy as he was a childhood fan and had been at Hale End), but he would have come and we could have gotten it done and dusted way before scum came back in after Havertz crocked.

That article is smoke and slight of hand.

I might have to dissected it for people later to show what it's doing.

It's nonsense.

Journo trying to cook it up as clandestine drama for clicks.

Muh subplot.
Hang on, isn't this pretty much the IDENTICAL scenario WE had with Madueke??

There might be different opinions as to his ability compared to Eze, but when you look at how everyone is wanking on about Eze returning to his spiritual home, and we didn't have a chance with him, well fine...

But flip that to Madueke....
WE had him in OUR academy, we let him go/he left to pursue regular football elsewhere, and flourished at other clubs. Fair enough.

But when it came to the crux of it, SURELY he (like Eze) wants to 'complete' the journey full circle by coming BACK HOME to Spurs...?

So how come HE'S at Woolwich TOO, with 'lifelong Gooner' Eze?

Can't have it both ways....
Though apparently you CAN!

Fuck this club!

Levy REALLY isn't helping in my recovery!
