We aren't signing Toure.
He’ll sign for Fulham.

we are still being linked with him again. Not really seen him but he is supposed to be playing incredibly well this year. would be an odd signing for £40m supposed fee, unless we intend selling Bellerin for £70m.Quote:

Sell Bellend. He`s been Wengerised
Yeah he looks a talent.Quote:

Yeah there's no way we're spunking the whole transfer budget on a backup Right-back
Maybe Bellend wants to go to Barca and play backup to Semedo
we don't know exactly how much money we'll have so i wouldn;'t be so quick to dismiss it
surely they can get £10m for Mustafi from some mug, plus Welbeck will be off the wage bill and we can get something for El Neny, also Lichtsteiner will be out, so we're savig a bit there with all those.
we without doubt need a better option to rotate/subsittute for Bellerin - at the moment we've real trash - it really says something that even i think Lichtsteiner's the best option and he's really not up to it...
If we had enough money and were it more of a priority.....Isco would be a good shout.
if we had enough money Mbappe would be a good shout.Quote:

NOTE: I know he wasn't getting on at the start of the season.
We should see if Bale would sign for us....
Or Kane.
He is a Gooner, after all.
Another one that will never happen, but I'd love Bale.
We’re in the habit of wasting money on overrated talent, so why not.
He is quality...but his wages would rule us out alone.
Manolas available for 30mill...... could give them Mustafi plus a little change.
probably that would increase the price to £40m.Quote:

Think he will probably end up staying there because of the transfer ban.
Think he has a year left, so Chavs will no doubt have a few tempting offers put their way this summer.
We seemed to be linked to Nicolo Barella a lot who looks a decent player on youtube (I know....don't they all). Seems very close to Torreira as a player though (who hasn't been getting into the side lately) so not sure why we would be that hot on it....
Maybe we are bringing him in to teach Mustafi how to slide tackle if he insists on doing it with gay abandon.
Bit of paper talk that we're interested in Umtiti.
Yes please.
Perhaps a little controversial but I don't rate Umtiti that highly. Most of the time I've watched him I've have wondered why his reputation is as high as it is.
Bum-titty bum-titty bum-titty bum.
There, I got it out of my system. Carry on.
If it means we dump Mustafi on some Autobahn Ausfart. then Yes. Lets get Partey from Atleti too while we`re over there
I also wanted to do that...... thank you, I feel better now.Quote:

Not sure who we can and should get, there's the usual opinions out there and then there's reality of our limited budget and the vision of the management team. I think we should, however, be getting rid of the following players for sure either by design or due to contract expiry:
Cech
Lichtsteiner
Jenkinson
Mustafi
Elneny
Ramsey
Given those actual and potential departures as well as other existing weaknesess, we're left needing to replace in the following positions:
Goalkeeper - back up to Leno unless Martinez is sufficient?
Centre Back - quality required here
Left Back - not sure how much Nacho has left in his tank and Kola has defensive weaknesses if we need to play a flat back four
Central Midfielder - clearly with Ramsey off, and Elneny done we need quality here
Winger/Wider Forward - been lacking qualty here for a while and struggle changing tactics effectively due to lack of genuine wide options
With very little coming in from sales, maybe nominal amounts for Mustafi, Elneny and 2p for Jenko, we'll need some more inspired Torreira type signings. Young genuine quality at reasonable pices .......what are the chances and options out there?????
Discuss
I think we should definitely get rid of Cech - before he retires.
People we should get rid of for sure:
Mustafi
El Neny
Mustafi
Jenkinson
Mustafi
Lichtsteiner
Mustafi
...and Mustafi
what about mustafi?Quote:

This shows the challenge we face in overhauling the squad...
https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/footb...mesut-14173298
...quite simply we’ve got to get that wage bill under control before we start rebuilding.
In an ideal world, Özil and Mkhi would be the first names out the door on those contracts, but unfortunately the only way I see either of those going is once their contracts expire. So that means we may have to make some fairly brutal decisions elsewhere (e.g. cancelling Ramsey’s contract talks and letting Welbeck go when he’s on his way back from injury).
Anyone on that list who is either on over £90k/week or over 31/32 y/o could go, imo...
On the plus side, CL football will be a bonus, if we can secure it, and the new kit deal with Adidas sounds like it will bring in twice what we’re currently getting from Puma...
I find it hard to believe we will buy any of the players I'd want us to sign even if they push all the high earners off a cliff and shoot the over 30's AND we make CL.
Player's that could genuinely push us on to the next level like Ndombele, Pepe, De Ligt, Alaba, Koulibaly, Malinkovic-savic, Isco....
I also think Koscielny is basically playing as good has has ever done right now, albeit he doesn't have the sort of partnership he had with Mertesacker at his best. I also hear his operation has actually completely dealt with the problem he had had for a few years so from a medical point of view and footballing point of view, keeping him isn't as daft as some would think.
We've been a burned a lot in recently years and are trying to change the page from the Wenger reign so I think we can be a bit to eager to get rid of players.... though I would agree that having a wage bill that is as much ahead of Spurs' as it is is unworkable.
.....but I do think Spurs are going to run into their own issues with their wage bill shortly.....
