We tried for Dybala before...honestly....

I think your being a bit harsh, there is every chance he will make a deadline bid for Jack, something like £3 million and CCV should do it this time!
It has to affect the players too. Going into a new season knowing that we still haven't replaced Eriksen and with only one striker in the squad must be demoralising.
Millik’s injury record worries me , so one dodged there , if we were ever in for him that is !
Not to say we will get all 3.
Traore has a huge ceiling and is only 24 years old.
Ings has been to our training ground earlier in the window. I expect the fee of 25m+ will be too much for a 28 year old but worth a crack.
Greilish just turned 25, Should be in his prime for the next 3 seasons. A tricky character by all accounts. We've be burnt by Alli; would Jack follow suit?
What makes you think Ings has been at our training ground?
He came on the open day with Bale, Daka and Dybala
Yea but we were interested for a bit, i'm satisfied with that. We can now swoop for Das Boot for£4m, he may be a 31 year old immobile, journeyman lump but he's tall and cheap. He's ticking all the boxes for our crack chairman, recruitment team and manager.
Bas Dost is good tho.
Milik is known for missing sitters, bullet dodged tbh
Yeah, dodged yet another decent, seemingly long term target.
Did White Hart Mike see him going in with Callum Wilson?I thought this ITK photo taken at Hotspur Way was pretty conclusive myself...
Luckily it's the Mail reporting Dost interest, they are as bad as the Sun for transfer news. Dost makes zero sense. Still think Diallo will be the one we sign (slowly getting to hope now more than expectation)
As for Bale, if Utd want him then we need to be right there alongside them. We may not offer the exact same wages, but we'll offer him more game time, a fan base that love him and a club he knows inside out.
Fuck it, all of us whack £10 in each and we'll pay his golf membership.

A good scoring record in Portugal admittedly. But not much international recognition and his scoring record only holds up in weaker leagues. Bundesliga and internationals its not stand out at all. He couldnt play with Kane and his size will only encourage our hoofball. I think we have different definitions of good. If this is the best we can come up with after a 15 month search it just feels like we have accepted lower mid table. Of course the caveat this could just be another dodgy rumour of course.
Dost not having a long international record is to be fair just as much down to the Dutch national team not utilizing proper number 9s. They've operated with smaller false 9s for years now. Bas himself said as much when he retired from international football a few years back.
As for his scoring record, 44 goals and 12 assists in 109 Bundesliga games is definitely good.
His age is the big question mark in my opinion, not the players individual quality.
You only have to watch this video to realise Bas is more than just a powerful striker who will hold the ball up and score goals - he's got that very Dutch style of play, some of the assists in this video are outstanding and when he's on sync with everyone and given some space, he'll be devastating.
Some of the plays in that video alone shows why, in my opinion, he'll succeed. He's a lot more than an Afonso Alves, Mateja Kezman or Ricky van wolfswinkel who were deadly in the Dutch league.

Actually posted what Totti said about Janssen...
A younger option in a similar mould would be Weghorst at Wolfsburg.
