Maddison was never of interest too cheap....we opted for a much more satisfying scalp in AC milan. These relegated club opportunities are OK I enjoy them also though.
Makes sense for him to join Toon to be fair anyway, guaranteed starts over Saint Max and Claire Balding. Join Spurs and he’ll just be Son’s cheerleader.
CB Watch Skyte Germany are linking us with A German Team's Ko Itakura, as apparently their team is getting dismantled this summer after their 10th place finish last season, and he has a £22m release clause - although there is a whiff of "Well Ange wanted him at Celtic, so therefore..." to the rumours In other words, I forgot to include them in this summer's Vulture Watch...
Today's utterly ludicrous pro-Bayern headline Daniel Levy has a diabolical plan to thwart Bayern Munich and keep Harry Kane Heilige Scheiße...
Romano's confirmed reports in Germany that Bayern's submitted their second bid for Kane - €80m plus add ons. Thinks it'll be rejected again but waiting on confirmation.
It is imperative we avoid the nonsense of when Berbatov left. Which means telling Bayern and Harry very firmly if we haven't received an offer of x by date y, he isn't going anywhere. Very simple. The only reason not to do this is if Daniel sees Richarlison as a ready made replacement, in which case pushing Bayern to deadline day makes sense as we'd likely end up with more money either from them or from a second more desperate club. The flaw with that plan is that it gambles our season on a pigeon.
Obviously we should've been leaking articles with headlines like "Levy wants Shakhtar chief to BLEED" for the last 2-3 weeks...
van de Ven Watch Wolfsburger Allgemeine Zeitung have apparently been doing some hardcore drugs, as they're claiming that Wolfsburg not only expect an offer of €40m for van de Ven but also expect him to be loaned back for next season on top of that Methinks this is tubthumping because we won't give Bayern what they want...
Tapsoba Watch Sacha Tavolieri turns out to not be somebody I shoved off a balcony in Hitman 2, but instead a journalist who claims Edmund Tapsoba's representatives were in London over the weekend to talk personal terms with us TBH the guy's only credible for Belgian players, and Tapsoba is neither Belgian nor plays in the Belgian league, so wait and see if anyone else runs with this
Big if true, could be one out the door and some additional funds towards getting both the Bundesliga lads
You never know, with a bit of interest around it may be £12m with a bit of luck - which would round up the net loss to a mere £30m!!
