Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

I don't agree but if Grealish is going the only way the owners can come out of it without losing the trust of the fans is to to do exactly that, 3-4 £25-30m players is the minimum that needs to happen in the next 2 weeks if we don't want a black cloud over the club.

They need to make a statement with who we bring in.

That statement isn't shite like Todd "I have a wank first name (and I don't make much of this middle name either)" Cantwell

[Hairbandinho]

The statement is made. We can't keep hold of a player no matter what the owners do.

Easier said than done. Timing is everything and I can't see too many teams willing to accept even inflated prices for players so close to the start of the new season and the close of the window. They themselves will want to bring in replacements and the teams they buy from may want to do the same.

Plus, try bringing in players without getting mugged when everybody knows you have £100m in your pocket. £35m for Harry Winks anyone?

£30m+ for Winks was being talked about even before these latest developments. We keep wanting to shop at home but we all know there's a premium for players in this country. Either be prepared to pay more or pick players from abroad and give them time to settle.

[sickbeggar]

Heh, Winks and Cantwell. The Samaritans will be making a public appeal for more operators.

[pauliewalnuts]

Don't mind Cantwell but Winks is absolutely terrible.

[ozzjim]

Kamara is it from Marseille is much better than Winks and only £15m

[cdbearsfan]

Don't mind Cantwell but Winks is absolutely terrible.

Yep.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Don't mind Cantwell but Winks is absolutely terrible.

Absolutely

All that does is spend his money. Aren't we meant to be a force that's closing the gap like a steam train

Which is why it's the minimum.

More like a Morris Minor taking 5 minutes to get up to 60.

I'm guessing here but I'd hope all the talk was coming from Spurs. The price certainly was unless it was an error with a zero added at the end.

[aj2k77]

Winks is shit.

If we lost Grealish this summer and wasted 30% of the fee signing that donkey then it would just about sum up where we are heading. Nowhere, fast.
