But what I'm afraid of is that other clubs wil come swooping in with a higher fee, like United and chelscum, if we hold our stance too long.

I genuinely think teams will be desperate to sell so the ball is in our court here. Look at us with Dele. I don't believe for one minute we would look to sell if it wasn't for the current climate, all clubs are looking around for saleable assets and are probably more willing to let players go than previously.

You have mentioned two clubs that don't need or want him. They both need defensive recruitments, not more forwards.

Update from Fabrizio. Been offered to us


Is it from him or has he taken it from somewhere else, passing it off as his own info without crediting the source. Reading these tweets he is starting to look a lot less credible. Also, the shit this woman is getting for it is very strange. Some weirdos out there on twitter.

I'd say with Romano that he often does mark tweets with a source when it has clearly come from somewhere else

Used to think Fab was the best, then I realised that he just jumps on others stories just after they break

Still think Carlos Vinicius is our top target.

I think the club are being smart regarding Milik. If he wasn't willing to come earlier in the window and now that he's run out of options in Italy is holding out for us then it's wise to not jump on it. Especially if Napoli are offering him around in the final days for 10-15m.

It's clear that the club are holding out for a situation to fall in their favour.

For example, if CV hasn't moved by the weekend, Benfica may start to be open to the idea of loaning with a 30-40m option at the end.

Then if that doesn't come off maybe we move for Weghorst or someone of that ilk.

Josh King, whilst I don't think he's our top option either, could be had for 10m as well.

That's why I think the likes of Eduoard, Daka, etc are not going to happen. Big spend and likely to need significant game time. They also don't fit the profile of the striker Jose seems to want.

Ali G with a tease * no names mentioned

The article does mention a few names, just doesn't really narrow it down much:

Tottenham have made enquiries about Torino captain Andrea Belotti, Metz striker Habib Diallo and Benfica duo Carlos Vinícius and Haris Seferovic among others.

The club also retain an interest in Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik and football.london understands that while the Poland international, who has suffered some big knee injuries in recent years, is not currently the club's main choice, he remains an option after being offered to a number of teams in the Premier League after his move to Roma collapsed.

Just got a feeling it's Edouard. AG not giving the players name, when he's already mentioned all our other targets in the article, means we obviously don't want this target out there in the press (and we know other teams are interested in him).

If we can loan Alli to PSG and either get PSG to reduce their clause, or use Alli to soften the blow for us doing a Lo Celso again and bypassing the clause with a loan from Celtic, that would make sense for all the cloak and daggers.

Probably wishful thinking though, I just think he'd be incredible for us.

josh king could also be signed after the window closes on Monday

Agreed with all of this except Edouard and Daka not being the profile of what Jose wants. To me, Millik is the striker I cant fathom why Jose wants him. He's not powerful, strong or particularly skilful. He's not in the Drogba mould which is often Jose's MO.

To be honest I've not seen much of Eduoard. Do you think he could operate as more a focal point? Is he just a finisher? etc.

I suppose if we are keeping it hush hush it would make sense as many clubs have been watching him.

I've watched him a fair few times (my family are Celtic fans). Basically he can do a bit of everything, and can play in a 2 ST formation, out wide and create really well (19 assists last year). He's also strong, very quick and can finish with both feet. I think he'd be fantastic for us.

She's completely right tbh, as fun as all the 'Here we go' stuff is. Sports Witness tried to expose him last summer but didn't gain much traction.
