Of course if we straight up paid what wolves wanted he would be our player and thank god we don’t do that. I can’t see a single reason why trying to negotiate a lower transfer fee or a smarter transfer structure is a bad thing. Wouldn’t be a single bit surprised if we try to get him on an initial loan with an option to buy.

Because its most likely £2/3m. With a hectic but vital schedule and with players out, you need to bite the bullet in situations like this.

The next 5 games probably make or break our season.

We need new signings as
You won't see Conte allowing a player to step into the team straight away without some kind of
Flaming Nora.. imagine the utter backlash if DL and JL don't pony up
That has been my big worry. The most important thing is DL keeps Conte onside, because if Conte walks.. there would be no coming back for Levy, no new manager would do, fans would not renew season tickets for next season , we would go backwards big time and most importantly revenue would fall. Just get Conte to smile:happy:

The Rudiger links make no sense on any level. We wont pay the astronomical terms he's after, he's Chelsea, he has a pick of the top, top clubs that will pay his terms. Thats not even taking in to account the history we have with him.

Just bait adding us in to get the reactions from football Twitter etc.

The only thing I'll say is this. Paratici loves a free transfer and Di Marzio is likely getting information from him. I suspect we are trying. I don't think we'll get it done but I don't think it's made up either. If he is settled in London it might be tempting for a significant payrise/signing on fee.

Even our ITKs have said to pay attention to Di Marzio and Romano more these days.

DEJA VU again this transfer window when will we learn. I know 19 days left but not even a sniff of movement. If we're lucky might get Traore.

Why are we always linked with Chelsea players.

It's never gonna happen.
especially Chelsea players that made complaints agaisnt our club that couldn't be upheld and clearly hates us this is the most bizzare lingering rumour I have seen to be honest..

Yet we have some in our support that would welcome him with open arms.

Some on this very board.

The game is gone.

I don't think any of us did but I think we all expected progress to be made by this point of the window. Newcastle and Villa are already closing in on their second signings and neither are likely to stop there.

We have 3 potentially season defining games before deadline day too.

Hopefully things will kick on soon, it's clear there was an important meeting on Monday so that explains the delay a little.

Impatience has got nothing to do with my post. So far the window has gone exactly how we should have expected it. If anything things seem to be moving more than normal. My point is that the evidence is there financially as to where the club (and 99% of clubs) are and nothing can change that, unless there has been outside investment from another party. It isn't the thread for it so I won't post any more about it. We aren't going to go out and spend like the clubs you mention, but maybe we should be trying to take advantage of them if we can. As many have said, expect nothing and hope for the best.

media putting the pressure on already, Scholes saying Conte doesn't look happy anymore and that united should go for him in the summer

He's a dirty, lying, cheating, always the victim, racist, scumbag of the highest order. One of the most despicable players ever to play in the Prem. Generally the only people that don't agree with that assessment are Pool fans, but each to their own I guess.
This is also why Liverpool fans are deluded!

Yeah I assume Mendes is whoring him out to get maximum return. Obviously with the window still open it makes sense from his point of view to see if there are other suitors that may line his pockets more than us.
I’m sure this is the case but we have put ourselves in the position of needing to be sure we make certain signings. We need to get a bloody move on and be looking, pretty sharpish, at all the alternatives we have lined up ?

except for an industry where you only have two small windows a year to make the sales. in that situation you would want to make sure every single deal is maximised in your favour as you need to live off it for the next 6 months.
I reckon he’ll suvive.
