That would be quite a coup for them. However, it'll only happen if they have 70-80M lying around for Upamecano and another 25M for Tierney. After spunking so much cash on Pepe, it's hard to say whether Kroenke will open the purse strings again in such a way.

How were we beaten by Spurs then?
What is this even supposed to mean?
So we gave a guy a six year contract and it backfired, so we shouldn't give six year contracts to anyone ever again?
Instead of giving your shite opinions, why don't you do some proper reporting Stone. All the other mouthpiece reporters kiss their respective club's behind but every single reporter who covers us is looking for an opportunity to throw shite at us, it's plain ridiculous if you ask me. The club should just stop using him as a mouthpiece. Without the club backing, he has nothing. He has zero sources and most of his 'reporting' occurs five minutes before the club confirms the news.
feck off, Stone. Managers and players are two different things. Surprised this twat didn't find a way to work Di Maria into this stream of utter shite, too.
You got him man. Great job.
Troopz had a go at him inside of stadium in US.
Not really 'beaten' by Spurs then is it? What exactly is a sign of the times?
If this is true. What a joke of a club Real is. Hope they go bankrupt.
Excuse me?
£60 mil is a fair amount imo. Cant see this happening though.
Why would it be - even if they got those players ? Would that make them a much stronger side than 2 of us Chelsea, Spurs and Tottenham ? Not in my opinion

Cancelo to City is done, €30m + Danilo.
City are ruthless and efficient, I envy those cnuts.
With Upamecano, Tierney + Bellerin and Holding back to go with what is arguably the best attack in the league, yes they’d be in a better position than us and Chelsea quite easily. And maybe on par w Spurs and Tottenham and Poch’s boys
You’re a needlessly irritating poster. Never any opinion or substance just trying to catch others twisting words, like it matters. Quite the mantle you’ve taken up. Good job on spurs rebuilding their midfield in one summer when all we’ve got is 1 legitimate first XI midfielder who will play the entire season with one foot out the door and possibly the last half of it with both feet out.
Beaten to potential transfer targets. Beaten to the right players before we got there. Beaten in our recruitment strategy.
It's a sign of the times that Spurs are showing clearer intent to develop further than we are. They were hunting for bargains when the stadium was being built, and now they're starting to loosen the purse strings. If you notice very carefully, they are in the CL and we are not. Their first team squad is better barring Pogba and De Gea.
It's not that hard to follow.
Who plays Cancelo or Walker? Why are Juve so happy to let Cancelo leave? Must be more than meets the eye with this one
I got an advice for you: don't read my posts or better yet put me on ignore. Cheers.
Simon Stone was just making a harmless little joke in his post. Not a particularly good one, but still, I don't understand why everyone is so wound up over it.
Ruthless and efficient? Them signing Cancelo seems to have dragged on for months?
Because he killed the Bruno 'dream' and everyone hates him for it
And AWB and I'd argue a few more as well
It's transfer season and they're needlessly sensitive after the disappointments. It was just some harmless fun from Stone but missives are being written about it.
Okay.
Why would Levy strengthen a Top 4 rival when things have tightened up unless he has a better replacement?
Have Spurs bought Lo Celso?
Because he leaves for free and he gets nothing if he isn't pushed out the door.
I think it's only you that has this opinion of @Ban, I always find his posts funny and so do others from what I've seen, and this forum needs a bit of humour these days.
We weren’t beat by spurs to the signings of Ndombele or Lo Celso. We were never in for him. Doesn’t matter if they were potential buys. Everyone is a potential buy. They also haven’t even signed Lo Celso yet.
There's no being beaten for potential signings if we weren't at all interested in those players. That we should have been in market for at least one midfielder, that's true.
We were in for the first guy. For sure
Yep.
A lot of easily triggered people in here. I can't see what he's said that's offensive.
He just made a callback joke. The fact that Maguire and Moyes are so different is a part of the absurdity of the premise.
Genuinely, if we were signing a player this late in the window our fans would be giving the board pelters. Why is this ruthless and efficient while the Dybala scenario was seen as a slow and cumbersome?
Fixed that for you.
Holding is a quality player now?
I didn't realize he'd done that. Agreed.
No surprise, massively over rated when he was at Monaco, lots of people on here wanted him , never saw it myself
Tierney, Bellerin and Holding have had no pre-season have no guarantee they'll be ready anytime soon for the first team. Tierney is potentially out with another injury too. Upamecano would not stop Sokratis, Monreal, Mustafi and Maitland Niles still getting in the side.
Don't let the facts get in the way. I dread to think of the reaction on here if we had taken until the final week to get him.
No surprise, I said a few days cant believe soe of the very good black players had gone there and wonder why?
People wanted Fabinho more over him if i recall correctly.
