£2.7m from £39m+ is something, I guess.

Ofcourse not. Sold him for peanuts and Roma more than doubled their money in less than two years.

I'm sure he's had reassurances on targets he wants and more control in general. The board have seemingly been the deciding force in recent windows going by who's come in (Papy, Hector, Atsu, etc).

Possibly. I'm sure Conte hasn't been content with a few things in recent weeks, though. The fact there hasn't been any movement on the Costa front is surprising.

Seems like things have calmed down and the board are finally listening. Most important contract to start with and let's hope the influx of talent will follow.

Belotti & Nainggolan in place of the first two and I would be more than happy. AOC seems the most unlikely with Wenger staying put.

Or Juve won't budge and player stays. They don't always get their way

Same could be said about RWB. I hope neither deal is that far ahead, as I'm not thrilled by acquiring either of them. A WB, CM & CF are our main priorities right now with the former being at the bottom IMO. It's all talk about him handing in a TR right now. I personally can't see it happening for a number of reasons, despite him being a massive improvement over what we currently have.

Have we even been in for Monaco's FBs? Can't be held at ransom for a FB/WB when there are other priorities right now. Are we honestly going to go through a season with Kante & Matic/Baka as our midfield?

Think that's up for debate (Alaba,Luis,etc) but I don't see it happening anyway. Juve have supposedly rejected a €60m bid, so we need to just move on.

Hope the board aren't trying to be smart again.

They won the AFCON in January

Just hope we get a CF that isn't Lukaku at this rate. He's definitely a good option, but I still prefer Belotti. Age on his side and probably easier/cheaper to get regardless of this "clause".

Russia need to get their act together prior to the WC.

More difficult start than usual. Have to be winning our home games to start with and we all know about Tottenham's record at Wembley.

A buy-back clause is a must and sell him for a cheaper fee. Every deal should follow Thorgan's.

Not someone we should be after. Throwing a youngster in with the hope he might deliver.

So much for adding HG players

Some INS would be nice

Some INS would be nice

I can only see him playing in our midfield in our current set up, but I'm certainly not against a playmaker at a reasonable price.

Not sure what Costa's numbers are for us, but didn't he knock us out at Stamford Bridge?

Not saying we should get him. Just a point in general.

I'd hope Sanches is looking elsewhere right now

We're not a EL side
