More experienced, but I did say arguably. Also TAA has been a bit off it lately.Hi praise. There’s a lot of competition. Better than Cancelo, James, Robertson and TAA?

But just taking a step back: think about this part of your sentence, and how nuts it is given Nuno was our manager this time last year.
I suppose if you flip the logic, I like that Conte is potentially given 95% of what he wanted with 5% to follow. I only ever thought we'd have him for this season, but if we get him almost the perfect squad, we might get some more years of Big Tony.Oh we've come miles - no doubt about it.
We were probably 7-8 short in December
As you said we were 5-6 short in June.
My issue is that we were 2 short in mid-July and for whatever reason haven't been able to finish the job. Granted this has likely been caused by mixed messages from Bastoni/Zaniolo's agents and clubs, and Conte's preferences. Hopefully Paratici can pull something out of the hat today.
End of the day I'm just desperate for us to succeed and I think an extra quality player today could be all the difference over this crazy season.
Or obtainable but hold no value by end of contract in this case.I think part of the problem is that we've improved the squad to the level that further improvement requires players who are currently unattainable.

Dennis Levy don't do over payingLook it’s not my money but given what we have at RWB and lack of cover at RWF (in the way Conte wants to play I.e. not really Moura), I say pay the release clause. Really could be the difference between top four and not and progressing in CL. Both of which would cover us overpaying by say £20m

Let's hope this is the case of the club playing their cards so close to their chest than none of the journos have any exclusivity yet. Which fits with what Trix has alluded to.Not seen any journo news at all about carrasco. Sky sports only reporting Dan James ?
I might be wrong but I don’t think it is a case of have to pay it upfront, I think the selling club has the right to demand it upfront but they may also accept a different structure of payment.The problem with paying the release clause is that the transfer fee would have to be paid up front and in full. Not many clubs pay 50m one go although the Goons did for Partey so it's not completely unfeasible.
It doesn't matter a great deal anyway. We could do with a left winger to challenge Son. Richarlison should be the striker cover who would happen to cover the flanks on occasion. Even so, Richy looked capable playing on the right last night so we'd have a lot of options.Yannick Carrasco - Detailed stats
These are the detailed performance data of Al-Shabab Riad player Yannick Carrasco. The website contains a statistic about the performance data of the player.www.transfermarkt.co.uk
I'm not really sure where all this confidence Carrasco could be a 'world class' RWB comes from. He's barely played on the RW in his career, let alone as a RWB. Maybe Conte has had that conversation with him but one source said he doesn't like playing anywhere on the right.
