Howe has said he doesnt want to unsettle the squad by bringing in someone on a massive wage, so you'd assume £100kish a week is about as high as we'll go right now Edit: See you what you are saying, wages might not even come into it

Also how is Muller only 32? In my head he was 35/36, feels like hes been around forever man

This is the reason why I cant really see it happening, even Muller is on £300k a week

Still looked pretty lethal for spurs last year tbf

If this is the case and they really are going for one big name marquee type signing the list of options would be fairly small right now, unless you count the likes of Zapata as a big name of course. It would be someone whos north of 30 and doesnt start week in week out imo so Bale, PEA (please no), Navas and so on.

Id want it to be Zapata but if it turned out to be Muller I’d be just as happy. Not that I think either are going to happen

Could absolutely see that happening

True but everyone would pick HBA

Since it’s been brought up already just out of interest how many of you would choose a prime Robert over a prime ASM?

Gonna really struggle to get any premier league CB in I think, cost would be highly inflated

This guys a fucking idiot

Its gonna happen like

With the Carlos saga considered it really feels like we might have been aiming to bring in a Brazilian group + Joe. Barbosa anyone?

thought it said 33.5. Hope you’re right though.

So it’s our equal record fee? Big Joe was £40m on the dot as well wasn’t he ?

Exactly this. The only question being is would they ask say Crystal Palace for the same amount they wanted from us? Because I expect there will be a club willing to pay close enough to the £10m they wanted as well, hopefully we match whatever the best offer is. Getting him in for 6 months could be key if he performs well and enjoys his time here we would be in pole position to get a quality player/big upgrade on what we have for no fee in the summer when his contract is up.

Cannot wait to watch him shit on Everton

Howe might want to go to a back 5 though, meaning that Schar would likely play in the middle.

Signings like Bruno will only make this one more likely to be completed

These next few days will be a bit mad

If we can now get a CB. LB and hopefully another striker its the best window we could have hoped for

Hes just left earths atmosphere
