[AJW]

He plays quite a lot for them - 10th highest in their minutes this season. Is there a reason they are willing to let him go?

 

[Ginola+Tonic]

This would be a very shrewd signing.

He’s a very very good player.

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

And Lyon wants Lo Celso to replace Guimaraes..........

They sold us Ndombele... we can return the favour lol

 

[wrd]

No kidding. How about finding some players you haven't had/signed already.

Beyond this window it’s concerning how few links we have to players who haven’t either been at Juve or on there radar.

I’ll probably elaborate more once we know what happens with the window.

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

At a certain point with all these links you wonder if Paratici and Conte just wanna go back to Juve

Let them bring over a few more of their quality players first

This?? ... and would certainly help ease to heal my Diaz disappointment

Do I detect something a little Fabio fishy ? I’ve half thought that too.

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

? if we were an amusement park ride, we'd have the best rollercoaster with the most up and downs by far in one circuit loop ...

 

[Russ1201]

Another one of the list ?

 

[neogenisis]

No way does he go to Lyon over us if everything is equal.

 

[jurgen]

True but also as we've seen we can't mix with the big or even medium boys so maybe familiarity might be helpful in some cases..

 

[Danfunkel]

You’d hope not, but they’d probably pay full whack and we’d still try for another loan.

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Top top player would improve the midfield straight away

Mate, I'm a 46 year old who looks like a half used candle & is about as useful as a half used candle, but I'd improve our midfield straight away.

 

[Lappi]

Sounds absolutely perfect for us

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Well that just about rules him out then.

Way better than what we have now.

Tbh they might be Juve cast offs but if we signed:

Kulusevski​

Bentancur
and
Morata

They'd all improve us.

We'd then just be a top class RWB and CB away from having a very strong squad again.

I'm hoping Diaz was plan A with Amrabat as a cheap midfield option, and this is plan B. Can't see us getting all that done in 3 days though.

 

[yankspurs]

If Betancur is available to buy, we have to go in for him on a purchase. Enough with the loan nonsense. Villa offered £20m so offer 25m & better personal terms. Just do it. Kulusevski, Betancur & an RWB would be fine all things considered.

Yet another shit show scatter gun window where we are scrambling at the very last minute. You can blame it on Fabio all we like but it is really is deja vu. Same shit, different window, different DOF. There is a common denominator. Groundhogs Day.
