So again we are hearing we have to sell before we buy, all pointing towards a frantic final week of the window with us selling players / hopefully signing players ?
So Reguillon and Daka for a combined £60-70m if we are lucky, with nothing more than perhaps £20m coming in. Doesn't add up with what our financial situation is listed as (stadium debt, Levy expecting a second wave and keeping his wallet close).
Am I the only one that thinks this might be unlikely?
Yes, but in fairness to Dragon, he's said it's not Daka, so the price could be much lower for the striker than the 40mil that has been thrown about on here.So Reguillon and Daka for a combined £60-70m if we are lucky, with nothing more than perhaps £20m coming in.

Agree with the vast majority of this. While Italy may well suit Rose's game, the fans over there (when they eventually return) are not generally known to be the most accepting, and Danny has been targeted in the past - which for the record is fucking disgraceful.All positive, I think. Rose has to leave - for his sake as much as ours - and I think Italy will suit him. Aurier the same - good for both parties.
Don't know all that much about Reguillon, but getting in a highly-rater youngster in a position of need is definitely not a bad thing. If it doesn't work out, there's always a good opportunity to move him on. For me, Cirkin is too young, and Sess not a definite at LB.
The striker is obviously an important piece of the puzzle. After knowing nothing about him a week ago, I'm very excited about the possibility of Daka, but Dragon insists it's someone else. Ideally we could fit him in as well, but hopefully the alternative choice is just as exciting.
Finally, can we please, please get these done in the next week or so? Would be great to have a bit of stability for the beginning of the campaign! Of course, this could be wildly optimistic. Time will tell.
Guess that's what happens when one ITK's contact is an agent, another's may be at the club, another might be another agent pushing an agenda, etc. It very rarely all lines up.Honestly, the ITK has been all over the place (not dissing the info) but it has swung wildly
Yeah, fair point. However, it's ultimately his choice, and we saw from the documentary he's open to go to Italy. If he feels Genoa is a good opportunity, then I wish him nothing but good luck there.Agree with the vast majority of this. While Italy may well suit Rose's game, the fans over there (when they eventually return) are not generally known to be the most accepting, and Danny has been targeted in the past - which for the record is fucking disgraceful.
I really do wish him well wherever he goes. He has been a great servant for the club.
Not sure it would be that much for these players and also the wages certainly wouldn’t be more than say Rose and Aurier. Think there’s quite a few elements tbh.So Reguillon and Daka for a combined £60-70m if we are lucky, with nothing more than perhaps £20m coming in. Doesn't add up with what our financial situation is listed as (stadium debt, Levy expecting a second wave and keeping his wallet close).

Doesn’t sound that positive if our moves in are so contingent on those moves out, presumably with the outs first as well.

Gutted to hear that. Fingers crossed we can bring in our target striker.Also just confirmed Daka wasn't our target anyways
Lazio lad?Strong ITK from JJ there!
It's not often he's so confident, especially after he was burnt after that lad from Lazio a few summers ago, so this is promising.
However, this has reminded me why I originally left twitter! The amount of stress heads losing their minds over this striker situation is concerning. How do these people cope with the rigours of every day life!!!
I've got absolutely no idea what that means, I'm feeling dumbLatest from JJ in response to the statement ‘I guess we are saving the announcement for tomorrow’:
When did I ever say anything about an announcement deadline...?
Don’t worry
