Certainly agreed on salary - which was better than West Ham's offer. This deal has been in the offing as far back as March. Player visited Spurs around that time, too.

The thing is that West Ham throw the money, tell the press, don't get an immediate 'yes' and then go off elsewhere.
They're the bloke at the bar who buys a girl a drink and then expects to move straight in for the shag (whilst shouting 'I think I'm in here' to their mate on the other side of the room). It might work like that in one of Dave's movies, but, in much the same way a girl won't cop off with the first bloke who chats her up (especially if he looks like David Sullivan), then so a club and player isn't going to accept the first bid until it knows what the competition is like.
Anyway, some bright spark on KUMB has come up with the answer on how to broker the Lacazette deal. He said, and I quote:
"Could we do a straight swap Randolph <-> Lacazette? I know Randolph will be at the Euro's, but we are more in need of a striker than a keeper."
Yes, of course you could, and congratulations on spotting the major flaw in that proposal, namely that Randolph is at the Euros. Well done you.

For some reason this made me laugh.

Haha, whereas Levy sends his boys over with the scaredy cats my mate really fancies you but he's a bit shy story. He's also loaded you know.. they might add
At five to two when his competitors have already pulled or fallen over in he sneaks, having not bought her a drink all night suggesting her place in a cab she will pay for.
But, the vital question is if that bird is quality she ain't gonna be lingering there for that long is she?

I know someone else answered this, but here's one of the articles if you want to give it a quick read.

He confirms we're also following Umtiti. Strange one. We already have Jan/Wimmer, and Rose/Davies

Not sure why you think that. Bony's game is completely reliant on his incredible strength and hold-up play. Batshuayi can hold the ball up well, but he's much more dynamic as he's quick and can take players on.

Just his body shape and hold up style, I see similarities. I agree with what you say but don't forget what a good player Bony was at Swansea.

I think Michy has quicker feet and more pace than Bony though. Bony more of a pure box player.

Reminds me of Lukaku the most, has the same mobility and frame but looks to have a better touch.
And in the Dutch league
So far Bony hasn't been able to maintain his performance levels after the step up in class to man city
Who's to say this guy will automatically be able to make the step up to the epl.

So he could be like the son of Lukaku and Bony. That's not disturbing.
Let's see who other Belgians we can compare him with ... to me, he looks like the striker version of Dembele, hard to take the ball off him like with Dembele, but he he shoots better and more often.

Well Bony isn't Belgian so it's more about comparing him to strong musclar guys of African decent
I'd say Dembele has too much cream in the coffee for this debate

But imagine if he were Belgian. That would be fun.

EDIT: Bony has the body shape of Jan Molby at the moment

I'd guess an option to play Davies in the Eric Dier role.
