"Hefty bid made for Saulsson Manorsdad."
Jonathon David
Makes sense with ability to play across the front three.

Isn’t Doku done to City tho? I guess the ITK could be behind. Re Williams it would make sense as we would need pay the fee in a lump sum so even if Johnson is more expensive we would be able to stretch it out over a longer period. Shame tho considering we managed to get a large amount of the Kane fee upfront.On COYS they think it is:
1. Doku
2. Williams
3. Johnson
Also going for David looking at the first part of the info.
We were never beating City to Doku. Once they flashed their ankles we didn’t stand a chance. So that chimes with the ITK. We aren’t able to get the number 1 target.Seems strange though because Williams release clause is supposedly lower than what both Doku and Johnson are purported to cost.
We would need to pay the release in one go, that will be the problem.Seems strange though because Williams release clause is supposedly lower than what both Doku and Johnson are purported to cost.
Yeah true mate, hadn’t considered that.We would need to pay the release in one go, that will be the problem.
You would think that the Kane money - most of which I thought was up front - would help.We would need to pay the release in one go, that will be the problem.
Yeah true mate, hadn’t considered that.
But as you said yourself earlier, we did get majority of the Kane fee upfront so you’d have hoped that wouldn’t be much of an issue.
It shouldn’t but I honestly think that will be the issue.Yeah true mate, hadn’t considered that.

It really shouldn’t be as we also have £50m we can drawdown on from enic if we need toIt shouldn’t but I honestly think that will be the issue.
As from Ange’s own mouth, he’s known about the impending departure of Kane from pretty much the day he walked in to N17.Clubs dont sell their best players in the last week of the window either. We've been here before too many times. I'd be amazed if we bring another striker in for Kane of the required quality now. It is just too late.
If we manage to move 6 out as per the ITK and they are on permanent deals then wonderful. Lloris, Dier, Sanchez all have a year left. Get what we can for them and move on. Regi, Sess, Ndombele, Hojbjerg, GLC, Tanganga, Davies all expire in 2025. We are a rich club and shouldnt be haggling over all of the prices within reason and it should mean we can move these groups of players on one way or another. They arent terrible, we just need to be creative.
Agreed. I love that he has been so clear in press conferences and interviews that he knows the exact player profile he wants both for talent and system need and for character. It does feel our recruitment is finally looking like taking positive steps forward with unity''ALL ANGE APPROVED'' that's all i need to hear. My pathetically inadequate football knowledge didn't like what it saw of Jonathan David at the WC but if Ange likes him, i'm on board.
Is he better than Jonathan David from Lille? I've just had this feeling he'll be the one we end up signing if Kane goes.
How is spending on a striker alternative crazy and spending on a midfielder, where we seem to have no quality issues, not?Splash big money on David would be crazy if Richy is still here. Rather see us going big for Douglas Luiz and a proper 3rd CB.
