If you are offering 550k pw then you aren’t signing mid table players and there is literally only RM and City for them to choose over you. They can’t sign every single elite level player so you will end up signing some
I think we're in a totally different place right now to when we signed Ndombele, so people are more open to the idea of a maverick wanker. Right now I'd happily take Kanye West in midfield if he could do the odd Cruyff turn and bang in a rabona every couple of years.I’m seeing a bit of talk on here saying “Cherki may be a dickhead, but he dribbles, so let’s sign him up”.
I hope you’ve all got your posts ready for early next year calling our scouting team a shower of cunts for not doing their due diligence on his behavioural side.
Your mindset implies there's not a finite supply of such players.
Unless you're seen as a viable big trophy route; elite players (with elite mentalities) won't come... Not for the sake of an extra 10-20kpw.
As per the 'highest paid' list you posted.... Most of those aren't elite.
Tbh got vibe they wouldn't let him go last summer as olise went to Bayern. They wouldn't let two of their best players leave in one summer. Think we might get eze. If we win europa it's nailed on. Guehi imo is nailed on to go to Chelsea.![]()

Tottenham are ready to launch a bid for Crystal Palace star man Eberechi Eze this summer, sources have told Football Insider.
The Palace star, 26, has hit a purple patch of form in recent weeks – scoring five goals in his last four appearances across all competitions.
Not sure about Huddlestone (he was on loan at wolves as a 19 year old and made just 13 appearances).From the 05/06 squad
Defoe
Lennon
Carrick
King
Davids
Keane
Huddlestone
I'd add dawson to that list as well.From the 05/06 squad

Yeah I heard we just missed out there
from 2023 too, not much to gain from that
Was immense dawson particularly against Woolwich. Towards end of his spurs tenure though he got turned too easy imo.Classic revisionism, Dawson wouldn't get anywhere near this squad.
Lol. Really. Who’d have thought that??Depends on who you're talking about and who we are competing with for their signature.

I mean when is that never a consideration ??
Pointless post. As ever

Man Utd say "hold my beer..."If you are offering 550k pw then you aren’t signing mid table players
Yeah you're right, a mostly reliable alternative to putting an 18 year old or a 50 year old Davies there really does sound like a bad ideaClassic revisionism, Dawson wouldn't get anywhere near this squad.
