Interesting that he also played futsal up until u18 (for England), so despite being an absolute unit he will also possess very good technical skills.

Mum was a former model.
I think he fits all the necessary SC criteria?
66 sprint speed on fifa, so not completely.

Conte wants 3 more In and big players not Spence like future signings

the interest in zaniolo is real and he’s ahead of maddison in the pecking order but it will be one of those two not both And as I’ve said all summer he wants another big name center half in

a lot depends on shifting the 4 who stayed behind on the Korea trip gio looks first to go , winks we have offers in the 15 range when someone goes to 20-25 he will go , reg a couple of Spanish teams sniffing but nothing firm yet , Tanguy we have zero interest In as yet

we have interest in Jude Bellingham But will be a massive deal in 80-90 million range , the 4 will have to go with decent fees for all plus tanganga etc To fund it

Imagine missing out on Bellingham because we couldn't find anyone to take Ndombele :sorry:

They didn’t get huge money for Haaland. I think they would sell for the right price.
They always seem to "Strike while the iron's hot". Haarland had his release clause which messed that up for them. They got Utd to pay silly money for Sancho~ they're pretty well run and tend to sell anyone if their prices/valuations are met.

I am going to say, this is the fanciful part of the window, where we looked at really expensive players, but just could not agree on a deal.

I am a little surprised, and nervous, that Conte still wants 3 more 1st team signings - ie not Udogie. I just can't see that kind of business being done, particularly how difficult it appears to be to even shift our deadwood, let alone at good prices.

I’d be really frustrated if we held on to Winks because an offer fell short by about 5 million. We’re constantly hearing, with good reason, the market value of any player is what clubs are prepared to pay for them. If Winks is only getting offers of around 15 million, then that’s probably what he’s worth.

The idea we hold on to him expecting a better offer the next window is flawed. He’s not going to feature in Conte’s plans at all, so his value will only diminish and by keeping him, we add another obstacle to us signing other players Conte wants.

My thoughts exactly. And the Bellingham info seems like fantasy football. We just don’t have that kind of money while we’re rebuilding the squad
