The usual BS leaks out the club. Fernandes, Koulibaly etc. Regardless of the need, no substantial signings are going to happen unless we get players off the books. Cheap and cheerful or loan deals are order of the day under ENIC.

A Bola apparently reporting we've walked away or Sporting have turned down our offer. TBF, that website almost classifies itself as nominative determinism the amount of shite they churn out

Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sessegnon and even Clark weren't cheap and cheerful...

I’ve only watched him a few times, once he literally shot every time he got the ball within 40 yards and was terrible. Think it was against Benfica. The other time he scored 2 goals and was a beast. Proper captain material. Was constantly talking to everyone and was a real leader. We need a leader out there. But like I said, against a good team like benfica he was pants? Who knows? Same as every transfer, all risks. We won’t pay that money in January anyway.

I honestly rate GLC better than him tbf.

I haven't seen enough of GLC yet to compare really. I respect your opinion but I think with Eriksen leaving there is room for both in our squad. BF is great for goals and assists though but isn't going to contribute much defensively but Eriksen is hardly known for his crunching tackles so BF seems a like for like replacement.

You are right it was a coup but that’s why this makes this deal a non-starter. It won’t happen twice in such quick succession
You know we sanctioned a Dybala deal a few months ago? Money that hasn’t been spent since that deal fell through for reasons not related to his proposed transfer fee.

Yes I am aware of this but the cynic in me wasn’t surprised it fell through. Like the time we were apparently bidding for all and sundry ie augero when he was in Spain and came away empty handed

Jules 77 - why the WTF rating. My logic is it
too much cash in successive windows and is based on 20 years+ of frugal ENIC behaviour. What’s your rationale of thing this is worthy of a WTF which suggests it is almost incomprehensible to think that way?

We're skint apparently.
Loan loan loan

Are we?

Didn’t we bid £70 million for dybala. Sure we don’t have loads of money to spend like Man City, but if this guy is who Mourinho wants to replace Eriksen and we can get him now (and Eriksen out) we’d be mad not to do it. Especially if we were hoping to get him in the coming summer but Man U’s interest has pushed us to do it now.

We always cry out when the manager isn’t backed. What if levy is doing that now.

No one know how the money works for us !
If we had 70m for dybala last summer we should have it this winter but its Tottenham we are talking about! Lost all the money in gambling maybe and changed manager.

Will be interesting to see how Mourinho reacts when we dont get anyone now in january and maybe a loan in the summer ?

From Ali gold in an article just now

Should both players depart then it will free up funds to look for another playmaker to ease the burden that will be placed on Lo Celso.
Spurs and Mourinho would love to sign Bruno Fernandes. Tottenham had all but agreed a deal with the player in the summer but hadn't agreed a fee with Sporting, particularly with the lack of movement with Eriksen.
Mourinho is a big fan of the Portugal star and Spurs are looking at him once again, with the prospect of Juan Foyth heading the other way on loan.
However, the fear is that United will outmuscle Tottenham financially if both sides go head to head for the £60m player who started for Lisbon, and scored twice, on Saturday night

Hope that Mourinho is the sway then.

The Evening Standard have a different take on things but it’s by a guy who used to work for the local Manchester paper.
