Links to Trossard, click bait ones I suspect. Good player but puts the average age range up. Berg all has a bit of growth and would do well under Unai.

Rogers leaving for some shite part-ex involving their cast-offs like Martinelli and Trossard with us paying much of the cash element to Middlesbrough would be the pits.

Plus Trossard's goggly-eyed binocular goal celebration is so sub-SJM.

A good sign that were not in for lazy signings on huge wages like Wilson.

Why would Wilson be on huge wages?

Because he’s out of contract so would expect the usual transfer fee to be bolstered into his wages.

Brahim Diaz having a decent WC with a couple of assists and he always seems involved in the limited time he gets to play at Real Madrid. A bit too young to really establish himself at Man City but technically very good maybe just a question mark over his suitability to the physical side of this league, although that’s probably overplayed a touch now.

That doesn't mean his wages would be huge by our standards. Those (reliability uncertain) sites put him at about £55k per week, which wouldn't put him in our top twenty earners.

So he will undoubtedly be expecting a big jump on that, but "huge wages" relative to what he's currently being paid puts him at the sort of level we pay our squad players.

You would also think that if we were interested, our more attractive footballing offer might mean that we'd probably get away with paying him less than Leeds or Fulham might.

Would be odd for Wilson to leave Fulham for Leeds. Think he will be aiming a bit higher up the division. Bergvall is an interesting one, like a lot of players at Spurs he has lost his way but clearly a good athlete with technical ability. Ideal profile for De Zerbi so
strange one if they moved him on.

Whoever he signs for he wont be on £55k a week. More like double.

He’ll be in the strongest possible negotiating position because he comes with no fee.

Maybe they need to create some headroom for Tonali. Absolutely bonkers if he goes there.

And Wharton.  Gallagher joined six months ago.

Somerville is tricky - Brobbey could be a Watkins - hopefully we can dine at better table than malen and revisits

What you do in your own time is your own business, but I thought his Harvey Elliot-esque hair might put you off.
