@GazzehCOYS people keep talking about insigne and boufal. Would have thought they'd be out of reach.
@jetsetyid correct
apparently not Southampton's though. They're in lead for Boufal

Why would those 2 players be "out of reach" though?
We're certainly a more than big enough club to be able to sign either of them so I can only assume it's the price that it is making them out of reach?
We are a financially we'll run club, but Poch must eventually start to wonder why we can't get 'his' transfer targets over the line and end up with Louis Saha on deadline day.....
FML.
If it isn't the worn out debate around the positives and negatives of Levy as a chairman then it's rolling out the old Louis Saha on deadline day line (Who incidentally turned out to be a useful addition to the squad that scored some good goals iirc, not that anyone seems to care about that).
Maybe we can be a bit more original this summer lads? Just a thought.
Or maybe we're just not interested in them.
It's not the fee that's the problem, it's the wages. We can afford the fee but most top players want more wages than we are prepared to pay.Maybe. I was picking up more on the out of reach part of the question.
I just don't like the idea that players of their caliber could be considered beyond us when I personally feel that we are capable of getting most players these days..................assuming we'd be willing to pay the fee of course, which is pretty much the kicker in any of our transfer negotiations.

So glad you aren't doing the negotiating on behalf of Spurs. But then it is always easy spending someone else's money. Things like value for money, cash flow, comparable cost of alternatives, etc., don't have to matter. Just spend whatever and don't worry about the consequences.
Comparable costs, you've hit the nail exactly on the head.......we've just received an extra cash injection from the new TV deal, enough to make PL teams top of the tree when it comes to income, let alone the CL money we will get
With that cash injection will come an increase in fees and wages for players coming to his league and yet, here, we have a potentially great young striker available for £17M. Yes, a whole £17M, before long you'll be paying agents more than that FFS and we're arguing and possibly letting someone else in over a couple of million
That's the reality, we lucked out with one striker the whole of last season, it will happen again if we penny pinch like this deal after deal.......lets see how the mood changes in here on deadline day when that happens.......again
I hope we do have someone lined up who can offer what those two can.
Son and Njie post-settling in year?
Think we need someone with more guile and football intelligence than those two personally.
But they are the impact players, after Eriksen and Lamela have tried the guile route.
They are, but don't think we have signed anyone yet who will improve our first 11. We definitely need someone in the final third who can offer a bit more pace, craft, guile and imagination to break teams down.

I thought the point of the Champions League was so that we could attract better footballers. If we are going for an attacking midfielder then we need to show a bit of ambition and have a real go for the likes of Insigne and Boufal. We nearly won the league last year ffs, we're a decent sized club, we're a good side and money really shouldn't be that much of a problem if it's the right player.
