Just imagine the reactions of our fans, if we were looking to exchange one of our CB's for Chris Fucking Smalling, let alone a player of Skriniars quality :sick:
Smalling had a really good season in Serie A at Roma. Maybe the league suits him.

I imagine @Nine while nine to be relaxing in a room akin to that of Rowley Birkin QC’s lounge in The Fast Show (log fire crackling, Chesterfield chair, drinks trolley with crystal decanters) wearing a velvet smoking jacket - even though he doesn’t smoke - gently imbibing a cask whisky (a birthday gift from his French wife who‘s 15 years his junior), listening to an eclectic playlist, looking and sounding like a rugged and less follicly challenged Charles Dance.
Beeyootiful imagery.

And of course, he was very... very... drunk at the time.

When it comes to the centre-back, Mourinho wants Milan Skriniar from his former club Inter Milan and football.london understands that the Slovakian is very keen to link up with the Portuguese in north London.

Tottenham have been in talks with the Italian side in recent days but cannot currently get them down from their valuation of the player, which currently stands at around £45million.

football.london understands Spurs are looking at a deal closer to £32million and then with add-ons on top to sweeten the deal for Inter.

The problem for Tottenham is that they need to raise funds for player sales to complete such a move and have offered players, including Juan Foyth, to the Serie A side in exchange but Inter have thus far rejected those proposals.

Spurs are hopeful they can bring Skriniar to London before the end of the window but they will have to get some players out of the door first.

Tottenham have also looked at Benfica defender Ruben Dias but his price tag is far beyond Skriniar's and their capabilities.

Seems there's a deal to be done for Skriniar but nothing imminent. We need to shift a few and they probably want to work on the replacement.

Interesting that Ally still thinks Milik isn't a priority.

The fact Ally seems to think Skriniar is now keen on the move is a good update though. That wasn't believed to be the case earlier in the summer.

I don't get how we can make a £32m + add-ons bid if we need to sell players to sign him.

Anyone else think this is Ally reporting what the club wants him to report? Saying we don't have the funds and Inter will have to wait, when we know they're desperate to spend on Kante and another CB puts pressure on them to accept the deal we're offering.

Just seems odd we'd even engage with them if we knew we had so much work to do to make a deal happen.

If he as close to the club that we are lead to believe than definately.

It still seems to be moving in the right direction. Initial reports were only talking about the 80m buy out clause. It's slowly moved from 60 and now talks of 45 with us willing to offer 32 plus add-ons.

He doesn’t have a buy out clause - think that may be Dias?

I suppose in the same way that you offer to buy a new house for more money than you have and without having had an offer on your current house.
