We paid £45M for Sanchez, a youngster with a high ceiling...

We're talking about potentially one of the top midfielders in World Football, meaning his stock is likely to rise once Poch has worked his magic.

Paying circa £60M, in that scenario, isn't as far fetched as you might believe.

It's incredible to me that people ignore the consistent well connected spurs pundits saying there's money there for the right players and the evidence is in Sanchez, we banged 42 mill down out of nowhere. I'm adamant we will go at least 60-70 for the right player over the next 2 seasons, if there's an opportunity for NDombele I reckon we will go big.

Advanced talks surely means personal terms have been broadly agreed and we're negotiating price/payment structure with Lyon?

As are Juve presumably.

Yep, bang on during Moura, Aurier and if I remember they dismissed Rabiot to us.
They eventually dismissed Rabiot to us I think but there was a lot about us offering contracts and shit and pretty sure JJ said it never got that far.

But let's ignore that.

I think the original French tweet may just be referring to a contract offer, but I'm not sure.

From what I understand (i.e I'm guessing and probably wrong), ITKs tend to get there info a few days late and then the media tends to be 2/3 weeks behind them. JJ said about Rabiot that he's a good player but not for us, now based on how he worded it vs other players, my opinion is that we probably scouted Rabiot and made contact but it was too complicated contract wise and I reckon the press were fed similar information but drew it out more.

I was told, and mentioned earlier in the week that this deal is 100% not happening from someone very close to this deal. Barca want him, and his preferences, if he has his way is not the PL, and if so it would be citeh. Things can always change. But imho I doubt it on this one ?

Won't lie, I'm hoping you thought this was the De Ligt thread only because this is exactly what you said about him:LOL:

Thanks Herc. We need to be getting these players the move before. Not when they're catching the eye of City and Barca.
