what’s sessegnon price tag now £40m ? Crazy to think he is still just 17. And someone so lorded like Edwards can’t even get on Norwich bench in same league. Think some people are almost a bit Blaise about sessegnon achievements this season.

Apparently Fulham wanted £50m in Jan for him.

Not sure how true that is but it could be very true.

Current market is unbelievable.

We have sterling and griffiths as promising strikers. Why not give them a go? Keep llorente at the club for experience and big matches and play the kids in the lesser ones. No one good wants to come and be back up anyway and we are hardly giving our youth a chance atm.

Tottenham target £50m move for Crystal Palace’s Wilfried Zaha

Tottenham Hotspur are planning a fresh move for Wilfried Zaha and are confident of beating Chelsea to his signature this summer.

The north London club failed with their efforts to sign the winger twice last season but are hopeful that Crystal Palace will sell him, even if they avoid relegation from the Premier League.

Signing the 25-year-old would be seen as a statement of intent from Tottenham that the cost of the club’s new stadium — which could be £750 million and is scheduled to open next season — will not affect their spending in the transfer market.

Chelsea want to add attacking players and Manchester City also made a tentative inquiry for Zaha last month.

Last season was Zaha’s best campaign since he returned to the south London club from Manchester United in 2014, scoring seven league goals as Palace avoided relegation. He signed a five-year deal worth around £100,000 per week in May. Spurs made offers of up to £21 million in the summer of 2016 when Steve Parish, the Crystal Palace chairman, called a bid of £12 million “ridiculous”. He could cost more than £50 million.

Zaha hopes to return from a knee problem in one month after being injured in the 1-1 draw with Newcastle United two weeks ago. He missed two months at the start of the season as Palace have struggled for goals. Luka Milivojevic is their top scorer, with seven, but six have been penalties. Christian Benteke, their frontline striker, has scored two league goals.
It makes sense that we're looking at association trained players such as Zaha so he can join our CL squad without us having to drop anyone. Signing Malcom would require us to drop another player, with Foyth already missing out atm. If Palace go down I'm sure his price tag will be less than 50m.

Huh? He's more than good enough as proved last season

So if we take this week for example, we play Kane in the PL, then you want Son as back up striker to play in the FA cup replay, possibly after already playing in the PL game, and possibly the next PL game as well, possibly 3 games in a week

All that is going is rotating positions rather than rotating players and if Son were injured we'd be screwed

Its certainly not the way I would want to see us play, I dont think its too much to ask to have a proper second striker

We’ll be rotating Moura, Son, Lamela, Alli, Eriksen and potentially Malcom. Son won’t be playing week in week out.

Genuinely think that, barring departures, we are great for AMs and shouldn’t touch it. If between Eriksen, Son, Dele, Lamela and Moura we can’t have three quality AMs on the pitch at any one time, we’ve got trouble.

That's the whole point of signing Lucas and seemingly have other back up options we're looking at so we make sure that our players don't have heavy work loads and give us options, no reason why Lucas couldn't step in in one of those matches if needs be, plus in your scenario how often are we going to have midweek cup matches in a season, not many. The point about injuries is kinda irrelevant, if we bought a back up striker and they got injured we'd still be in the same position.

It evidently is asking a lot for the club to find an able deputy to Kane seeing as the last two have failed miserably, whilst the one player who has played in that role and succeeded is Son.

“thfc have made contact with Napoli's Amadou Diawara (20, CDM) through his representatives.

[tmw]” this would be very good signing imo

If Alderweireld leaves and dier goes back to cb this would be a very good move imo

Bale is on like 300 thousand a week though.

I am pretty sure the current wage doesn't follow the player. This isn't the NBA where contracts are transferred. If Bale were to come our way we would have to break his contact with a transfer fee and then negotiate a wage with him. Of course we would not pay 300 a week, but we would be able to negotiate say $150 or something of the likes.

Please tell me I am wrong, but I think this has been clarified time and time again on these transfer boards.

You're not wrong. Why would Bale more than halve his wage to come here?

Diawara is like busquets in what he does. Great passer but very astute tackler and has great positioning. Good on the ball too.
