Looks like Spuds chucked a few more million at it. Oh well back to the drawing board. Hope our January window works out better than the summer.
If he goes there at the moment it says more about his preference for money above ambition. Could have dodged a bullet if that's the case, we need driven players who want to achieve in the game.

Suspect when a club accepts an offer and basically says we want you out your option is either move to the club who’s offers been accepted or sit it out as a bit part player for your current club. Wouldn’t be surprised if we paid him more than Spurs as well. Then there’s also the London factor which is probably a pull for him. All in all. He might not have loads of choice in the matter

They are in the champions league and he’s likely to get more attention there if he’s seeking a World Cup slot.

It might not be the player. His club might have just accepted a higher offer. A number we couldn't go to as it stands. We have the UEFA threat hanging over our heads.

Not the best start for Olabe, however the rumoured fee, 40m v 25m, is a pretty big shift.

Add to that Gallagher said he really looks forward to being eliminated out of the Champions League and is highly attracted with a relegation battle. Despite playing for Chelsea since the age of 6, joining their arch enemy will show just how much the Blues mean to him.

Is Guendozi still available or did he move from Lazio?

^^ Yes, sorry. I just knew he’d gone having just seen his name on Sky’s list of completed transfers.

Conor Gallagher close to joining Spurs as my colleague @David_Ornstein reports. #AVFC showed significant interest, saw his availability as an opportunity (Emery a big admirer) but the club, sensibly, wanted to maintain their discipline financially & not be in a highest offer race

That explains things.

It’s funny how all the spin comes out on this stuff.

Annoying, as he would have been good. I hope we’re clear on strategy, the Malen stuff is a bit concerning.

£35 for Gallacher who has only started 4 league games is not a good deal.

We still need another centre mid so hope we have something else lined up. Ideally a bit younger than Gallagher.

He's only 25 though.
