Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

There were rumours of this a year or so back IIRC, albeit I don't think it came from someone like Ally Gold or Dan KP. I can't imagine Levy's the most popular bloke in football though these days.

Could be partly why Paratici was hired but it does beg the question how much influence he truly has, I'd like to think he's been handed the complete reigns of transfers at the least but the way this window's gone on, it's certainly gotten the Levy feels about it.

I'll judge it in four days time.

 

Q : what goes BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP
A: The johnsons baby oil tanker reversing out of Hotspur Way

 

OP updated for both...and BTW...you know your sirens?

 

It matters not what level of personal authority Paratici has, if he's been given no budget.

There's been no additional funding, no stadium sponsorship, we owe £40m on Romero, we were trying to loan Traore and we're lowballing on Diaz...?

Welcome Frazier 'Bloody' Campbell and Ryan Nelsen....

 

Some positive news coming out today from Ally Gold that there is optimism regarding getting Diaz in.
Obviously not getting carried away because we have been here before (Skriniar, Dybala etc) but now again our club does surprise us and pulls of top signings like Romero and N'Dombele ( who half of Europe's top clubs were after at the time)

Even if we only got Diaz in it would be a fantastic window. He is that good and what a mouth watering attacking trio that would be - Son, Kane and Diaz.

If we also added another 1 or 2 by Monday eve then even better.

Paratici needs to redeem himself let's hope they get Diaz over the line....

 

Don’t jinx ****, because Fraizer Campbell is still bloody playing!

 

He was a good signing compared to the likes of Lo Celso and Ndombele

 

He was "bloody rubbish"...but we got to give him back at the end of the loan period. So, yes....

 

It's all jumping the gun by that logic. Nobody has been signed.

I don't assume to know what Conte has planned. I only comment based on who we appear to be interested in, and guess what might work.
I don't have faith that any players are coming until they are wearing the shirt in an official post. It's the hope that kills you.

 

Whats Leandro Damiao up to these days?

 

Still playing as well as it goes

 

Joint top scorer with 23 goals in the Japanese top-flight, which his team won.
The other top scorer, Daizen Maeda, joined Celtic recently and scored on his debut.

 

Romano Update
- Loan deal for Amrabat's good to go and has been since Sunday(?)
- Still in discussions with Porto over Luis Diaz
- Ajax still looking to sign Bergwijn on a permanent deal
- Expecting to see Ndombele and Dele leave on loan

Yeah, that Amrabat thing's a little odd, isn't it? It does beg the question why, as it could just as much be on hold waiting for Ndombele to sod off as it is making sure he doesn't break a leg at the AFCoN

 

Not sure how that works.
Morocco face Egypt on Sunday. If they win, then they'll still have two games left.

 

Diaz Watch
Oh boy, we've reached the point where somebody with good standing for Colombian news is tweeting emojis

 

And now Nico Schira says we're in talks over a €20m deal for him (Antonin Barak for those wondering).

Battle of the journo's again, ladies and gents!

 

If people ever wonder why I will never take women's football seriously (aside from the fact it's horrendously bad), Spurs women have just loaned in a player from Arsenal.

The absolute ****ing ****?

 

Rumour has it £4m is the sticking point with the Dias deal



Unbelievable if true

 

Technically only Moretto is a journalist...although as it's for Calcio Mercato and Fichajes, he's basically a tea boy for tier lists

Which is somehow one better than Schira

 

Paid over how many decades?
