Tottenham are being really quiet with their transfer targets this year. Wonder if it's a conscious effort not to get involved in the early madhouse. Seems like no one really knows how much players should be costing this year.
I think he was nearly 23 when they sold him the first time for David Luiz. 29 soon too.
He and Costa don't have kits available at the new store at Stamford Bridge. He's gone.

Maybe Tottenham are looking at the market this year and they see a huge gap between the price players are costing clubs who don't need to sell (like Morata, Sandro, Keita) and players who are available on free transfers or in the last years of their contracts.
Guy who first said something about Arsenal's bid for William and Gelson also said on Saturday that Marcos Acuña to Sporting was done and he would travel in the next few days.
Well, apparently multiple sources have reported that Acuña is arriving tomorrow to Lisbon.
If that actually pans out, the guy will have broken 5 transfer news related to Sporting way before any journalist just this window.
Guy is looking to be pretty legit.

It was a decent offer and a bit more than what Gladbach is gonna pay, but certainly not some crazy EPL amount.
They seem to stay somewhere in between, if that offer is an indicator.
I never saw Arsenal make so many moves on a transfer window.
We really want the top 4 trophy back innit

By domino Go To PostEven Arsenal making more noise in the market than us. And Everton too 😣It could be worse, you could have only signed Willy Caballero.
By Zabojnik Go To Postbut
I can fucks with this. #triggering
what about Douglas Costa zabo!!!!!!
By #ForzaMilan Go To PostSo Donnarumma is staying with us for 5 years at 6m per season. The agreement includes a 50m clause that lets him leave if we don't make it to CL, and a 100m clause in case we do qualify. Oh, and we're also signing his useless GK brother for 1m per season.Marcotti said a while back that he originally didn't want to sign because Milan didn't want to give him the buyout clause. It makes sense for him tbh. It looks worse in hindsight because the buyout clause is now included in a contract that has him making a lot of money. However, the buyout clause looks like it was absolutely where the drama came from.
Fuck him. I hope we sell him soon.
Mino has absolutely done Milan there.
I'd take the Benfica lad on loan though.
By Elchele Go To PostbutI think I prefer Bernardeschi. Besides, we can only sign one more non-EU player this window and it's looking like it's going to be Danilo. (Thanks, Dani.) Obviously, I'd rather we signed Douglas Costa, if it came down to picking one between the two, but since we seem to have a real shot with Bernardeschi and with the absolute need to sign a LB ... Danilo + Bernardeschi it is. Maybe next year, after Carletto exiles him.

I'd take the Benfica lad on loan though.
Started as Leyton Orient.. brought them up to League One and was doing okay in season 2. Villa poached me. Decent transfer budget but none of the wonderkids I can sign are still available at a decent price or are interested in going to the Championship. :(

Lukaku brought up too.
Surely any move involving Everton would mean he takes a pay cut. I can't imagine they have more than one or two players over six figures per week.
If he did agree to take less money that would be a sign that he wants to play though.
I have a feeling he'd be more than happy as a bit part player for one more year and then test the market as a free agent early next year into the spring. It's just too much guaranteed money to leave on the table.

That's not like Rooney at all. Although I'd contest whether he'd even be a bit part player next season if he stayed.

Rooney wants to be the top dog in the club. His tryhard performance in Carrick's Testimonial should tell you that much.
