I agree difficult this month. But summer. AC wants him at whatever cost (obviously you get my point). He told the hierarchy at Inter he wanted Lukaku, and no room to manoeuvre. He has said same about DV.Player wants
Not saying it ain’t happen but unlikely this month and the summer becomes a stretch
Could not agree more! Well said! COYS!Great extra info WLB. Interesting to get more than one ITK on this. People must realise these deals are very complicated and we are lucky to get different snippets from different sources. COYS
Don't think we've made a bid.I’m still struggling to understand why he’d want to stay in at Fiorentina when they want him gone, as opposed to join Conte, a manager who would welcome him with open arms, right now? He either wants to join us or not, surely!?
We did! In summer.Don't think we've made a bid.
The phrase shit or get off the pot springs to mind!Don't think we've made a bid.
I meant in this window.We did! In summer.
Not accurate at all!We seemingly pulled out of signing DV as Kane was staying. Why would it be any different now in January.
I imagine he wants to finish the season strongly and give himself the opportunity to earn the most lucrative contract. He may also want more to time to settle and find a house etc when moving countries as it’s quite a big thing to manage. It’s not a binary choice.I’m still struggling to understand why he’d want to stay in at Fiorentina when they want him gone, as opposed to join Conte, a manager who would welcome him with open arms, right now?

Even more of a reason to do it now?I agree difficult this month. But summer. AC wants him at whatever cost (obviously you get my point). He told the hierarchy at Inter he wanted Lukaku, and no room to manoeuvre. He has said same about DV.
this is my biggest fear with this. If this is pretty much a non negotiable for conte and levy wont sanction it this jan. we are completely fucked. I think Levy will sanction it near the end of January or with a bad loss to Arsenal. The thing I will say about Levy right now and it's kind of frustrating is it seems he is just reactive, not proactiveIf we are in such a strong position and the man with the money pulls out then I can't see Conte hanging around. If we have such an opportunity and don't take it that is as strong a statement to the coach that we have no intention of supporting him in his ambition for the club.
