Toby, Sanchez, Jansen, Aurier were all main targets scored in recent years.
Agreed on the latter... We don't and won't know the truth about things that didn't or nearly happened (eg see Mane).....

What film is that? Is that Dinklage?
'Good'. Now CE needs to commit or not so we can get on with the bulk of our business.
No idea. Yes it's Peter Dinklage
Indeed it is - and it looks like Nick Frost in the reflection so....
*googles*
Apparently it's from the 2006 film 'Penelope' where Christina Ricci has a pig nose.

I'm concerned we still lack pace. I know its not everything but we were so much better with the speed at fullback.
Other than Sissoko and Moura, winks is quite quick for a CM - we're a pretty pedestrian team. Aurier is deceptively slow, rose isn't as quick as he used to be - I'd apply the same to Kane and Dele probably due to injuries.
I look at Liverpool and city and they have devastating pace - either at fullback or in attack.
Our proposed signings in midfield look the part by all accounts, but I'm still a bit concerned we'll continue with our slow build up play.

I doI love the optimism lads. But do any of us seriously expect us to spend anywhere north of £50m on anyone considering our track record? I really hope we do but I can't see it. I really hoped we would make a statement after the CL final and go out and make a couple of strong signings but as yet nothing except pure speculation.
Fingers crossed anyway...in before Pochettino gets another payrise and hails the summer window a success because we didn't sell anyoneochbye:

We will comfortably smash our transfer record this Summer.
Expect it to be closer to 70 million than 60.
Sonny is the quickest of the lot.
I still think we should consider other options if that's the price.
Perhaps Moura could be the quickest with Son just a touch slower?
yes agree, totally forgot to include him - but at the CL final you could see he was not as quick as their fullbacks or Mane or that shithouse Salah.
That was before Poch said “hey fucker. Buy some good players or I’m leaving”

With the way our squad looks currently, we only need a CM and a scattering of youth prospects.
I can see the case being that we sign Ndombele putting us around -£50m net spend (probably less than 30 upfront anyway) followed by an in/out policy.
Also think it could be wise to secure a big signing like Ndombele before approaching too many other players as it's a statement of intent. Players that are just out of our reach might turn and look at the project and think - this is a club going places.
Any business concluded before 1st July is business done early. I don't understand the frantic comments like the world is about to end, so lets throw 10s of millions everywhere?

That's the thing I hear often "We could have had the player for half the price last season", to get that deal you have to take a chance. Even if he's not able to get to the level we need it will be hard to see his value dropping much below this.
Common sense will get you nowhere on here. Throw the word cunt in and you may get some traction.
