People will clutch at any bit of hope because things are getting that desperate as the window ticks by, expect more of this leading up to deadline day.

Not sure if the model is possible/legal in England. Best we can do is build productive relationships with clubs. We’re on good terms with the likes of Yeovil, Orient, QPR etc, for that sort of thing. Salzburg have got it down to a fine art though. One of the best talent factories in Europe at the moment.

....also.
AG has said multiple times he's not interested in being first with info, he wants to be correct, if he heard it from one person he contacts others to have it backed up.

He’s fast and tricky, that’s for sure. See a bit of Bale in those runs he makes.

You can't ask for a better finishing school than a dominant club in a lesser league. Gives quality youngsters great experience and room to grow before the big leagues.
What RB have done with Salzburg is genius. They are probably beating the likes of Ajax, Porto, Benfica to these kind of players now. Clubs that evolved into this model naturally as football finances started to marginalise them more and more on the European stage.

I believe Ally was the first in the UK media to mention our interest in Doherty too wasn't he?

Tbf Ally has been very selective when mentioning strikers. He only mentioned Watkins in reference to Sun bloke who said we were in for him, along with saying Wilson was merely an option while King was unlikely when everyone on here thought one of the two was guaranteed.
Not saying Daka is happening, but equally I doubt he would bring this up if there wasn't at least something to it. I mean, didn't he basically outline our entire 2019 summer transfer window by saying our main targets were Lo Celso, Ndombele, Sessegnon and a striker before anyone else. I think he might've even been the first journo to pick up on Clarke too.
I get the impression we're pushing hard for either Milik or Daka and both are extremely difficult deals, while Diallo is more of a safe fallback option.

Up until yesterday, I'd never even heard of him.

Considering we haven’t bought him so never seen him play in the Premiership surely talk of him eventually replacing Kane is a bit premature"
He looks like a serious talent and if we have the chance to get him, we shouldn't let it go. I'm going to assume that we need to get shot of a few players to even make ends meet though, which given how hard it has been for us to get rid of players over the years leaves me less hopeful.

Just went back through the Doherty thread and Ally was the first UK media to report it. A full week after the Goat bleated!
Honestly think that Goat bleat is one of the best out of nowhere bits of ITK I can remember. Can’t remember anyone being so far ahead of the media and getting it right.

He is the type we need,can play as a striker or out wide. That would virtually guarantee enough first team action to tempt him into coming.

Would potentially be City level in terms of their Aguero/Jesus situation in that although obviously not as good he could actually mean we are still very competitive if Kane was injured. His pace also means a very good option off the bench. Really hope we get him in, his potential is huge.

One of the real positives of Daka is that I could really see him and Kane playing together up top. In a lot of the clips he's making runs from deeper positions and I suspect him and Kane could dovetail nicely, taking it in turns to play the 9 and 10 role in a 4-2-3-1 (Kane's practically a 9 and a 10 rolled into one so it shouldn't be too hard for him). Alli could also really use the competition in that position if Lo Celso is in CM.
Diallo on the other hand would be a straight backup, more akin to Llorente in terms of role, if not style.
