Bentancur being linked again “if we change the formula of the deal” (presuming a permanent offer, initially made a loan one), with Kulusevski seemingly our main target at the moment plus links with Morata, I’m starting to think Paratici literally wants us to turn into Juventus. Got a former Juve manager Got the former Juve DoF Play 3ATB which Juve were famous for with Chiellini, Bonucci and Barzagli Linked with three Juve players (albeit Morata is on loan there at the moment from Atleti)
Yes of course, I am also expecting to see Lord Lucan appear riding Shergar pulling a carriage containing Dybala, Lamptey, and ward-prowse
When there's just 47 mins to go and we still haven't signed anyone then I might start thinking it won't happen... Gotta believe our inept hierarchy will do something in the meantime. They won't be that bad... will they?
Di Marzio says we've made a €30m bid for Bentancur. If this happens then I can only presume Amrabat isn't. Because both are neither a creative midfielder... which this team is literally crying out for. Romano is also saying that Kulusevski is keen on a move to us... At least someone is!
I think there will be business done in deadline day but unsure why clubs leave it all so late. It’s just a Spurs thing but obviously that’s the only club I care about. I bet more outgoings than incomings though. If I had to guess then I’d say 1 in and 2 out. Considering how important this window was for Conte to start rebuilding this squad then that’s not enough imo. Also the chance of 4th is really there so now was the time to take a risk but looking like it’s going to be cautious Spurs again.
He’s a lot better than Amrabat though, plus he actually plays frequently for Juve and won 3 titles and a couple of cups. I think he would be a good signing. Possibly would take the place of Hojbjerg in the starting 11 too.
Yeah I agree, I'd say that us more than many others needed to get stuff done too. We've gotta start giving Conte what he wants to rebuild this team, we need to show players like Kane, Lloris and Son that we're a serious club and the sheer fact we just need to both get rid and add is also there. My guess will be a definite two in, potentially a third and probably four or five out.
He’s better than Arambat, Bentacur would be a nice signing I think. Plus Juve are signing Zakaria so they need to shift a midfielder. As Arthur’s moves don’t seem to be materialising we should be leveraging our interest for Bentacur to make our terms for Kulu more attractive.
3 in and 4/5 out? I really hope you’re right but with so little time left I can’t see 8 deals happening.
Could Paratici not just fly to Turin asap and get a triple deal for Bentancur, Kulusevski and Dybala done. Offer Juve the choice of Lo Celso, Ndombele or Dele too
I haven't seen enough of Amrabat to say but yeah I'd imagine Bentancur is the better player due to his pedigree and who he plays for. If we go 343 then yeah he could take Hojbjerg's spot, if we go 352 it could be a case of him joining Hojbjerg and Skipp, albeit it's a very defensively minded midfield still.
If you take a charitable view on loan outgoings, Conte is saying : I do no trust you enough to push the team to finish PL top 4 over the run-in. However if you put a shift in while on loan, there may still be a place for you next season.
The outs will primarily be loans and I can see a fair few happening. The three muscunteers in Dele, Ndombele and Lo Celso are all likely to go, the latter two have offers and Dele will surely receive a late one. Gil looks like he could be heading to Valencia on loan and it's possible Rodon may go to Brighton too. There's also Doherty who we could see go, albeit that may depend on if we get a RWB or not. The ins though I'm less optimistic about, I think one definitely (Kulusevski?), one surely (Amrabat/ Bentancur) and one maybe (take your guess/ late move).
I think the out’s aren’t too far fetched. Dele has strong interest from Newcastle and Everton, which might be smoothed by the fact that he has the same agent as likely incoming manager Frank Lampard. Gio has multiple options by the sounds of it, OL and Spain. Tanguy to PSG will rumble on especially if they shift anyone. Gil has suitors in Spain too. They’re the most likely I feel.
