L'Équipe says that Lyon are about to spend 25m Euros on Thiago Mendes, a centre mid, and 12m Euros on Youssouf Kone, a left back, both from Lille. Sounds... expensive. As if they are about to come into some money.

If that’s really the case, would have liked us to try and sign Fekir too.

“By June 7, all the terms for a £53m transfer were agreed pending a medical, but the physical examination flagged an underlying knee issue - which made it irresponsible for Liverpool to continue with the deal.



“It wasn’t about the France international’s quality, his current fitness or the cost, but his durability over time.



“The club have spent years correcting poor market decisions of the past and so a long-term outlay for an instantly depreciating asset was never going to tally with their sagacious approach.

If Liverpool didn't want to take the risk of signing him after failing a medical I highly doubt Levy would do any different. However he is a cracking player.

Unfortunately agree but price wise, it's significantly less risk now.

It's absolutely mental - every piece of credible info that's coming in is saying this is basically done.

...and yet some low-grade rag says 'Utd could make a late bid'...and 30 years of pain causes me to get the jitters, resulting in constant browser refreshing to see if there's an update.

Being a Spurs fan is a brutal, life-long roller-coaster. I'm not sure if I love it or hate it...

100% agreed. We just can't afford to have another team member sitting on the bench with reoccurring injuries. Another factor I should mention is that Shaqiri was in negotiations with Pool at the time too, so that may have swung things in his favor. Could see Arsenal going for Fekir due to the price and their seemingly horrendous recruitment strategy of late.

Lets be honest it’s been done for a few days now, it’s just them playing games for the fiscal year as they’re listed.

Can't quite believe how effing long everything is taking. One thing you have to have as a Spurs fan is patience. I have it, but it's wearing very thin. Ever so slightly grumpy. We are told to be patient so we wait. Then when we've waited, we are told to wait some more, and then a little bit more, then a little bit more. Fack me I'll be dead soon.

The one consolation is that no one else is doing very much either right now. It's like everyone is waiting for something. Was it the 30th June when contracts expire? The new financial year on 1st July? Ndombele to get back from hols?

Maybe you should change the line under your avatar mate ? :pompous:

As to the Unted Ndombele story,I think if anything they probably want us out of another deal (maybe Lo Celso?) and are just putting in some talk about NDombele to push us out of the other deal

There isn’t a Ndombele to United story - it was a pointless throwaway line in an article.

Anything is true these days with these ‘Effin’ agents so technically not wrong
