Here we go off Romano in the early hours this morning for Xavi Simons. Will wait for Ornstein / Ally Gold before I get excited.
Ornstein now reporting it. Medical done . Couple of details to be ironed out between Player and RB Leipzig. Really excited about this potential signing it’s almost done let’s hope Chelsea don’t go in last minute. One or two more signings please Spurs 3 and a half days to go.
Thought Newcastle couldn't sell their souls more than when they sold out to the Saudis, but their new signing pushes that envelope! Wouldn't be surprised if they now announced locating a new stadium in Mordor!
Very **** sources saying Savinho unhappy with City blocking his move to us but is still hoping it materialises. Can we just go all out for Semenyo, please? I’d have no issues making him our record signing either, really think he’s entering a top level now and would be ideal on the left for Frank. Said it before but him and Kudus on the flanks is champagne footy. Bums won’t be in seats when either have the ball.
I too would welcome Semenyo. He's improved a lot and is coming into his prime. We'd bully teams with him on the left side of the current team. I think he'd also bring out the best of Solanke as well seeing as he had his best season with Semenyo on the flank in the Bournemouth team. Savinho would be great too, but for different reasons. Don't see either happening now though unfortunately.
Which brings me back to noting how nobody ever hands in a transfer request anymore - mainly because they'd have to pay pack their loyalty bonus That really needs to be looked at, as that's taking us back to the 1960s
Various sources saying Simons is done bar the announcement. hold on chaps, hold on. edit: apparently it’s a 7 year contract. Jeez. He better be good, because we have no idea how to sell players
Yeah I’d say so we’re just a traumatised fanbase when it comes to transfers getting completed so we never quite believe things
Has he? buy signing Simons? to me it seems like Levy can’t get anything over the line unless it’s a clear run home for him but I will take it, we need to bolster the squad
I didn't expect Simons to sign for Spurs. I'd given up hope for that player long before the Eze debacle even started. But Simons has signed for Spurs. I did not expect that. That simple. My requirements or what I think would be a good window considering what he stupidly said about the league and the CL? No, not yet. We definitely need more players to bolster the squad, I agree. Hopefully this signing will help convince any other potential targets that the club are serious about their intent to challenge.
We're still 2 players shy of what Frank really needs to be truly competitive. If we can bring in an upgrade on Ben Davies and Savinho/similar LW type, we have the talent to get properly stuck in. Barring a shock move for a top keeper, like Donarumma, that would have us sorted. Rumours surrounding Ake and Savinho suggest that we might not be done... ...hopefully, they're correct.
