Pretty certain we won't be getting any concrete updates tonight. Shame. Roll on tomorrow.

With the guarantee crowds will be back at full capacity by the start of next season, we have guaranteed revenue to offset any potential spending this window, factor in training kit sponsorship apparently being secured and a potential naming rights deal for the stadium, there is definitely money to spend given any larger fee outlay will be spread across multiple years, signings like this doesn’t scream ‘Kane money’ to me, just a return to normality given our spending in the summer of 2019 which wasn’t funded by any significant outgoings

I just want to see two solid central defenders who know how to read the game abs can defend.

this guy could well be one of those.

Neither was Bale. It is in the clubs interest to not let that sort of news out until signings are done, so even if top sources say that it could just be a tactical move.

Perhaps it was just that the forum I used at the time was a bit more cynical/pessimistic, but I thought it was pretty well clear from soon after that season ended that Bale was going - there was simply no other realistic way for us to fund the spending that window, back when £100m was an eye-watering amount of money and not what you'd need if you wanted change after buying a defender from Leicester City.

Here it's less clear that Kane's definitely leaving - there's been rumblings for a while about the stadium naming rights and so on, although there's certainly plenty of reason to think that it's going to be Kane money at the end of it all.

Not sure how true/reliable but apparently "Romero 13" was available on shirt customisation this morning...
