Feels like we are meeting a lot more resistance with our targets now after having it relatively easy on Peresic, Bissouma and Foster.
Eriksen - off
Raphinha - lots of competition
Richarlison - lots of competition
Bastoni - Inter fucking around
Spence - Gibson being greedy
We were never going to have it all our own way, and it was always going to be a big ask getting our targets in before the beginning of July and the start of preseason.
It will be interesting to see if we manage to push through these deals in a timely manner or if things will develop into more of a grind from here on in.
Don't we have 5 options for forward? There was itk saying Conte had 1 preference from those but not sure who, maybe Martinez. Other than that any of the other 4 he's still happy with. I wouldn't get too worried about 2 of the 5 not happening, we'll get 1 I'm sure. I think Raphina is likely anyway tbh, we're a great pull now and I really don't see him having a better option.Feels like we are meeting a lot more resistance with our targets now after having it relatively easy on Peresic, Bissouma and Foster.

No I don’t, but it does, from the outside looking in, seem that we are hitting a few speed bumps with the deals that are being mooted.You have no idea if these were our first choice targets though. Eriksen for instance, we supposedly contacted them once and didnt follow up, so its hardly "off"
To your point, there is no such thing as no resistance whether it be a player wanting to come, us wanting the player, agent issues, another team getting involved, media bullshit, other club/fees, and to expect otherwise (because things have been great so far this year) is unrealistic. People forget the drama or weren't aware once we sign any of the players we do, including those we have signed. Every individual transfer saga is going to have it's up's and down's, so best to focus on the overall end product. the Bottom line is we are doing as well as we could do under the circumstances and it is hard not to be confident that we will finish with a strong group. I don't let myself get overly invested in any target, because frankly the pool of targets we have is such quality that choosing who will do best for us is next to impossible.Feels like we are meeting a lot more resistance with our targets now after having it relatively easy on Peresic, Bissouma and Foster.

Looks like Conte is happy with Doherty as the first choice RWB for now. Might give Levy a bit more time to negotiate and strike a better deal for Spence. Really great to see forward is a priority and considering we have linked with some really tasty names, looks like next week would be fun.What at least 2 more in before Korea cb and forward
This is the big money! Easily looking at circa £100M for these pedigree of player, that's obvious.What at least 2 more in before Korea cb and forward

Interesting - Spence not seen as need before Korea, is that because have 2 RB's in squad?What at least 2 more in before Korea cb and forward

AM is a wide player in conte systemA good attacking midfielder won't come cheap either.
So according to AG, we want two CB's (if one of ours departs), an Attacking midfielder, RWB, and Striker.
I'm intrigued to see how Paratici solves the puzzle
