Just watched some YT highlights, didn't realise how quick and reactive he was.

Reminds me of Ian Wright and Andy Cole a little.

 

 

Jermaine Beckford even !

Guess he means cause Mbuemo to Man U is official. 

I'm not sure this was ever really on any way tbh. Would be a great signing though if it was to happen IMO

That's fine, but we also signed Sandro Tonali, a Serie A champion and senior international, when we were in arguably a lesser financial position. 

 

I don't think there's one path to paradise here. Losing out on Liam Delap and Joao Pedro can be considered a blow, that's fine, but I think where I struggle is the notion that in our attempt to do something (which I commend them for, staying stationary is going backwards) we're potentially ending up with Yoan Wissa or players in that bracket. One might argue that we saw with Chris Wood how goals aren't always transferable and can often be dictated by system and style. I see more parallels between Burnley and Brentford than I do between Brentford and ourselves. 

 

I look at players like Bruno and Botman, guys who were on the periphery of the elite in mainland Europe, and wonder why our energy appears to be more focused on domestic players that come at a premium. It was that type of thinking that got us Alexander Isak. Perhaps the names just aren't there, and I'm trying to be mindful of my own ignorance here.

We got Tonali against zero competition, and I still think from an AC Milan who knew what was coming re Tonali

I'd be delighted if we brought him in AND got Isak to sign a new contract

[SUPERTOON]

Been sent home like Isak. Heads been turned.

Aye, they’ll sell if they get near enough to the price they want.

That’s the issue for us, the price they want it’s mental.

So one of my pet hates is journo transfer speak.

 

What does "interest accelerating" mean?

[AyeDubbleYoo]

This unsettling seems bollocks to me. Surely someone can train and play friendlies while their agent finds them a move?

[Fenham Mag]

Good luck at Spurs!

Without doubt. 50m for a guy who's 29 and no European football experience plus off to AFCON is crazy

I thought Frankfurt couldn't afford to turn down 60m for Ekitike and they ended up getting nearly 100

It’s even funnier when it’s describing something we do

Didn’t leave our camp abroad tbf

[andycap]

Got a feeling he'd come here as long as money isn't too much of a deal breaker for him.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Would love him here but think if Spurs are actually in for him he goes there. FWIW reading what Spurs fans think of the story they all seem to be saying they don't really need him unless they sell Richarlison, which is a tall order

We’re not up against interest from a Chelsea or Liverpool this time though (it would seem anyway…)

 

Spurs could well outbid us, but they’re often loathe to ‘overpay’ more than we are. Forest are a tad unpredictable with the fat Greek, but would still be surprised if they went higher than we did.

 

Whether Brentford hold tight on wanting ~50m when it seems his heads been turned, we’ll see. Hopefully they come closer to what we’ll be willing to pay.

Aye time will tell, they certainly don’t need the money though.

Underwhelming 

[Andy84]

If Spurs are in for him surely he will go there
