We were going to spend 60m on bastoni tbfI would LOVE Gvardiol
But I just can't see us spending £70m+ on him.

Chelsea who are also interested want de ligtabsolute dream signing. Difficult to see the really big boys sleeping and letting us have him…but it happened with Ndombele (lol) and Romero I guess.
The 100m draw down does make me wonder if we’re still looking at Bastoni though. If most transfers these days are paid in installments, why would we draw down 100m now unless we needed a significant chunk to put down in one go? Assuming that what has been reported about Inter’s financial position is correct and they need £60m cash at hand by the end of June(?) it seems a bit of a coincidence to be putting ourselves in a position where we can provide that in one hit.
Even if Inter were to sell Skriniar to PSG for 100m, they are not likely to see the balance of that for a few years - only the first instalment, therefore they would have to have a number of players lined up to leave in order for the first instalments on those players to equal £60m.
PSG could very probably pay for Skriniar in one payment, but they will have FFP to comply with which may prevent them from doing so. We, on the other hand, have a slush fund that has been raised inside FFP and gives us the flexibility to drop a £60m wedge on the table if we so choose.
Just a thought.
Don’t we already know he wa ts the league? That’s basically what he does…I mean if that happens, holy! Conte wants the league.
I just moved from the kitchen to the sofa with a cuppa ??
