Ally is the unofficial club mouthpiece isn’t he, if he’s rolling this out, is it likely it’s very close?

He is both physical, but also mobile. So has one up on Janssen and Llorente.
I wouldn't describe Ally as physical or mobile tbh. He could probably still give Janssen a run for his money though. :cautious:

Mendes is key here. His players go where he says, not where the selling club wants. Look at what he’s done for Wolves.
The story is picking up serious momentum now, which can only be a hold thing. Sooner the better, so all attention can be on Skriniar and then balancing the outgoings.
The fact Vinicius is a loan intially means any cash can be allocated to Skriniar. Now if he’s an initial loan too, then that suddenly opens up even more options for our outgoings, we can loan with option/obligation also, no need to narrow down to cash deals only.
Off the top of my head, I count 20 non HG players if you include Davies as he is in Europe. That means we need to shift 3.....
Aurier, Foyth and Gazzaniga....

Based on the ITK earlier on today, I still wouldn't be surprised if this drags on until Monday - but hopefully we now have decided he's our guy and will get it done?

Sure I’d seen somewhere today that Jose wants to keep Aurier.
For me, I’d be looking at Sissoko/Gedson, or I’m still not sure that having Lamela/Moura/Bale for the RWF slot isn’t overkill.

I get that. But Aurier isn’t dependable and Sissoko is. Moura is a José fave and Lamela he appreciates. Gedson maybe but unlikely given he’s only just settling in. I can see Aurier leaving - not ideal for squad balance but the most likely outcome.

Ally Gold’s write up doesn’t make it sound that close to me. Sounds more like we’ve told them to make their mind up or we will move on.

Apparently, Carlos Vinicius is currently on 7400£ a week ?

Yearly -385k£ - This is almost Kane's 2 week worth of salary :rolleyes:

I was once a very vocal Sissoko supporter but, yesterday especially, he doesn't seem to bring anything to the table anymore. Shame as he's a great guy in the changing room apparently and I think having those types around is good for team building, but I'd like to see him shipped off.

Actually quite like how he picked up the position late and has only been playing striker going on 4 years. Think the potential for growth is massive playing understudy to Kane.
