Haller has a very good record in Erdivisie and Ten Haag knows him very well from their days together at Utrecht.

Rumors that Villa will again spend big on another talented youngster from championship (after Matt Cash and Watkins), this time on David Brooks of Bournemouth.

how the fuck has Haller gone for so much?

Because they'll probably make profit on him eventually

Arnautovic linked with a move back to West Ham.

Wonder how his team mates will react if the move goes through after the antics he had pulled when he left for China.

In clubs I've been at players are dead supportive of other players moves. They all hope they'll be in the same boat someday getting a big pay day.

Jovic is going on loan to Frankfurt. Wonder if he'll come good again.

I get the feeling he's mental.

He's actually really shy. Just tends to go along with whoever is around him which is why he pulls so many stunts back home

Insane transfer, Silva and Jovic is a genuinely CL level attack with Younes Kamada Barkok and Kostic behind them. Here's hoping he finds his feet quickly

Surprised you guys didn't bring Haller back too. Basically everyone who was highly rated and left Frankfurt failed in one way or another

The Rebic Silva swap has been a success for both parties so far. No one begrudged the other two because they left for top clubs, Haller made his bed when he left for West Ham really

Transfer window podcast stirring things up apparently.
Have seen headlines they are claiming a lot of unhappy players following talks of a clear out (nothing we didn't already 'know').

Duncan Castles also reporting we have a transfer budget of just 20mE to resolve our creativity issues.
Unclear if this is specific to the role or if it is the total budget for the window. I'd suggest this represents total expenditure for the remainder of this season including both transfer fees and wages as per previous transfer budgets.

Whilst I understand the financial logic in regards to our financial position and structures, IMO if correct then this is another example of our financial structures & strategies further adding to our problems re our bloated wages.

have to sell to buy. once ozil and papa are officially gone, i'm sure we'll see some movement

Thought the same last summer.

i didn't expect ozil to go last summer. papas deal fell through. if ozil actually goes, i think that actually moves the needle

Some rumor that Ozil might eat part of his remaining deal. Massive if true. Can part fund Bissouma

I wish there was low stakes way to trial Draxler in our side. Just can't afford to acquire players carrying greater injury liabilities. Otherwise think it would be a shrewd stop gap.

Danny Rose has been frozen out at Spurs. He could be released from his contract. He's still only 30. If he's free, I'm wondering if he is the kind of guy who could be a reliable deputy for Tierney. Then we can get rid of one of AMN or Cedric on the right side. The role is very demanding so I don't see a problem with having 2 decent players in each position.

I doubt Tolaji Bola is good enough. He just returned from his half season at Rochdale, but at 22 Is yet to make an impression

No Spurs rejects please.
