Lots of clubs have paid over the value just to get a key player in so why can't we do it just once to push on? Pay an extra 15 or 20 for a top player and step up a level ....surely a 15 or 20 mil overpay would be worth a gambleYou know for once I almost think that we should bend over and let them fuck us because we’re utterly incapable of signing a good attacking player (apart from Son) and it’s fucking embarrassing.
That’s a bit hyperbole tbf but definitely none since Son 3 years ago.
Depends on your definition tbf. Dele obviously is a forward player for us.Not sure if it is hyperbole tbf - since Berbatov how many forwards have we signed that were a success? Son is the only one I can think of.

It wouldn't matter if he was a greengrocer when we signed him, he's an attacking player.He was a deep lying central midfield player when we signed him, so not sure we can claim that one
We’ve signed one acceptable forward in the last 10 years.
Will be interesting to see how we react how. DL must be having sleepless nights about us going into the new stadium without CL.
Dele Alli
He was never a deep lying CM. He was a b2b CM and towards the end of his Mk days played just behind the striker.He was a deep lying central midfield player when we signed him, so not sure we can claim that one
There's obviously no guarantee that he would have been great for us, but it sort of feels like we have to rely on Son, Alli, Kane or Eriksen to win us games forever. And ever.
Add in the third party who owns 40% or whatever it was.
Poyet could have pulled him aside and told him a bigger club would come in for him in the summer if he waits or something similar, if its true he has an axe to grind with Levy. Could have said lots of negatives about Levy to cause doubt. I swear this type of thing only happens to us.Doesn't mean things won't change again but I thought as soon as Poyet was announced that the change of manager would effect things. I bet we wanted him now and they wouldn't sell him now. I don't think its a shock.
Push ahead with sessegnon now then.
