They’ll likely move for Isak now which will still be annoying. Alvarez going to City as well so the list of top striker prospects is dwindling if we’re looking for Kane’s or even Son’s ,who’s 30 this year, successor.

I'm not totally convinced on Isak - he's got a lot of potential, but Vlahovic is the real deal already.

Would have been a game changer for that club.

I know it’s a joke but the reality is this is Spurs under Enic. And no I’m not moaning but it’s just factual observation.

Spurs are linked to Dybala but we end up with Nkoudou and N’jies.

Linked to Vlahovic but will sign Ali Cho.

Linked to Skriniar and we sign Rodon.

We occasionally make a signing like Romero or Ndombele that are ambitious but compared to the elite clubs it’s just not enough.

I’m really fascinated to see if it changes next summer because it has to really. Otherwise we aren’t ever closing the gap.
It's true but let's face it, given Juventus were actually involved it's not a hard decision to make. They're a much bigger club and he's going to win so many trophies in the next decade and we simply can't offer that in our current setup. Seems like we got played by his agents big time as well.

What we need to ensure is that the 'drop off' between targets isn't Skriniar to Rodon levels..

So what other shit-hot center forward prospect can we jerk off too for another 6 months to a year, blue balls ourselves into oblivion and watch him sign for someone else and find out we never even had a shot? Kettlehair?

For sure, Vlahovic going there would’ve been way worse. But they’re still active looking for a top striker. Seems we have an interest in De Ketelaere and David who are both good but again, not Vlahovic’s level.

If Juve is where he was always destined to end up, then far better it happens now than we get led on a merry dance around him next summer. We're not in a position to compete with them in terms of stature, especially for a player already playing in Italy, and there's no shame in that, so more than happy to not have been mugged off for the past couple of weeks like Arsenal seem to have been. Now we can talk about more realistic targets.

Still waiting for someone to tell me why people want Isak so bad besides him being really good in video games. His real life numbers tell a different story

I can see us going for Scamacca now as a plan B. He will be another player we will need to offload in a couple of seasons as he isnt good enough.
Scamacca would probably be a good and a realistic choice tbh. He’s actually scoring goals in a top league.

Juventus, attempt for Vlahovic already in January: the offer is being studied

Sky Sport24 Jan 2022 - 23:08

Dusan Vlahovic at Juventus already in January. It's a possibility that the transfer of the Serbian striker to Turin in this market session makes its way. Fiorentina, in fact, is willing to sell Vlahovic as early as January and dictated the conditions: 70 million euros, without deferred payment. Juventus is at the window, has started contacts with viola and is studying how to get to an offer to meet the conditions set by Fiorentina. The Bianconeri, closer to fourth place and waiting for decisions on contract renewals, could reshape the figure allocated to the January market, trying to anticipate competition to buy Vlahovic.

Fiorentina studies substitutes: Cabral and Milik in the crosshairs

Pradè: "Vlahovic is worth 70 million. Juve? Doors open to everyone"

Vlahovic did not take into account the offers of Tottenham and Arsenal, however Fiorentina does not want to run the risk of losing it to zero or with a lower valuation than the current one. For this reason, purple opened at the start in January and is also studying alternatives to Serbian. In Fiorentina's crosshairs is Arthur Cabral, born in Basel in 1998 who scored 27 goals in 31 games of the season between the league and the Conference League. Fiorentina's first offer for the Brazilian would be 14 million euros plus two bonuses. Another name that is evaluating viola is that of Arkadiusz Milik of Marseille. There have already been contacts to understand the conditions.

The main thing I learned from the Ndombele saga is tying yourself to the concept of "this one singular player will elevate us or solve us" is not a healthy way to evaluate transfer activity or current players. Took a big old L on that one. Recommend others take the same lesson here too. Dusan is a prospect. Maybe an elite one. Maybe one just suited for Serie A. No particular way of telling and obsessing over him isn't going to help your mental health any.

What worries me is not missing out on Dusan, it's the current lack of news on an alternate to him in our striking pursuit other than an 18 year old kid who while I like these kind of prospect deals in principal needs to be better balanced with first team needs.

colleague of mine is a Juve fan and has said same the Agnellis will find the cash plus they can get some money on outs.

I am with you, not sure i believe he was I number one target. I think Juve has always been his destination
Prolly from the Dybala/McKennie money we’ve wired them. ?

Provide an ultimatum. Say it’s now or never. No point sitting waiting for 12 months since we showed our interest to end up with our **** in our hands when he chooses someone else.

I see a genuine chance for us to get top 4, but only if we add attacking options this window.
Looks like he did string us along after all. Wonder who we’ll go for now ?
