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 proactive
Drip feeding at minimum cost. So frustrating.

Not just right now, he’s always been this way and totally to our detriment on the pitch.

Even more of a reason to do it now?
As I stated a while back. We would do the deal now, and pay the premium. But player wants to see out season. He wants to leave on good terms with at least the fans. And his club has not officially said he can go this month, as they know the fans Would skin them alive. Maybe the player feels the same?

It's also why Levy may well go for it.

This might be me just dreaming a little bit, but could Levy be in the bahamas right now talking to Joe to get this move sanctioned? I know Herc said DV doesn't want to leave right now, it just seems like from all the italian press that Fiorentina is desperate for him to go so they can get the max amount

Not accurate at all!
I just don’t see DL allowing that money to be spent on a striker now when we have cheapskated and failed to provide any of our managers with capable back up/competition for Kane since … well actually never ? Regardless, IMO we ballsed up not signing him in the summer. He’ll have bigger and better offers available.

Why would that stop us from agreeing it all now though with DV to arrive in the Summer? Why would we have to wait until that window to get it done? I obv have no idea how all these deals work but it just seems odd.

because it sounds like DV wants to leave on good terms with the fans, could you imagine the scenes of if he stops scoring for them after hes signed to us. They'd turn on him so quick for "not having his mind in it" "not playing for the badge anymore" and shit like that, it doesn't make much sense for him to sign with us or anyone and go back till the end of the year

A lot of noise saying Arsenal are really pushing for him this month. £160k a week being mentioned by many. I presume they feel the same, if not now, they'll miss out in the summer. Could be the difference to who gets top 4 or not

Ok, I got an idea, lets start a gofundme for his agent and lets get his agent a million pounds to secure his signature. I'm sure that'll get it over the line

I wouldn't be surprised if every top club in Europe is interested.

Just feels like our opportunity was last summer.

I still think we’d be remiss if we weren’t to make a concerted effort for him in January, regardless of the likelihood of him signing this month, if for nothing else than to demonstrate to the player himself how determined we are to get him to join.

I can imagine us not trying to get him in January and then losing out in the summer because he thinks we weren’t that serious about him after all.

I really hope we get him.

That’s would seemingly be good news for us, we would then be forced to try for him now rather than the summer, and if we’re really the one he wants then no reason to not join

I dont think Levy would allow Arsenal to get ahead of us by signing this guy. I think Levy has a bit of an ego and would steal a march on them by getting him ahead of them (ofcourse provided DV wants to come here)

Sounds to me like we can shelve this idea until the Summer (let DV finish his season/save Fio’s face with the fans) and then cross everything a bigger fish/shark doesn’t turn Vlahovic’s head before we can make our move.
It also sounds like taking that 4th spot and earning CL would be a further proof to DV that we could be his new home.

Just hope Conte understands if a bigger fish takes him in summer

Agree, I’m very optimistic that he’ll come to us but if not it won’t be Arsenal imvho.
