    The joys of PL 'wage poisoning' + inflated transfer fees.

    Non PL clubs generally cannot endure both, so at least
    one of player + selling club are going to have to take
    a financial hit to get a deal done.

    Whats with Spurs immediately being linked to any player Arsenal are associated with?

    Vlahovic, Kulusevski, Diaz and now apparently Melo.

    Either the media or Tottenhams staff have absolutely no original thoughts.(possibly both)

    You can guarantee if a player gets linked to Arsenal they will soon be linked to Tottenham - frankly it's embarrassing.

    If we had never signed Vinicius what difference would it have made. Exactly none in my opinion. Dele or Bale would have played a few games more.

    Show us the proof you were interested in these players before us.

    We should be trying to swing it to see if we can hijack Bruno to be honest. Looks a proper player.

    Bale was criminally underused by Jose Mourinho.

    Dele wouldn’t have scored the goals Vinicius did.

    Eh? Vlahovic isn’t exactly some sort of well kept secret, everyone bloody wants him. Kulu has been thrown around for a while too. Seen nothing on Diaz and Arsenal, it’s all been Liverpool, and no idea who Melo is. Thought you meant the Bayern keeper there were whispers of but that’s Nübel.

    In any case it’s natural we’re both trying to sign players in a similar class because we’re both chasing the top 3 in the PL, or want to be.

    Oh him. Seen nothing on our interest in him tbh. Always thought it was odd, the Pjanic/Arthur swap. More to do with finances for both clubs IIRC

    He scored 10 goals and got 3 assists in 22 games, many of which were as a sub.
    Two of them were for a minute a piece.

    If that's your best effort, yes it is.

    Chuck enough muck and some might stick appears to be the approach for these last 3 days of the window.

    He’s another I quite like. We might be sick of South Americans though <laugh>

    It wouldn't matter if he didn't....none of his goals earned us anything. They all came in easy wins.

    It's funny how that happens when you score.
