How does Morata keep commanding such high fees, even whilst on loan?!

I think it's humanly impossible not to love Kanté. Wonderful to watch him play.
Thought i saw a Martial-related tweet. Was it deleted 
Yeah, was an alleged story from fichajes.net (think it's a garbage source) saying Spurs are willing to offer 35 million euros for Martial, but we want at least 40.Thought i saw a Martial-related tweet. Was it deleted

Kane to City, Lukaku to Chelsea, mbappe to Madrid...where does Haaland go next year? Bayern would be the only real competitor?

Besides ruling out both Raúl and Antonio Conte for the Real Madrid managerial vacancy, the Tweet also states the following:
- Lucas Vázquez will renew his contract with Real Madrid.
- Sergio Ramos will leave Real Madrid this summer.
That's a great way to ruin a champions league winning side.

We need a striker who can put small teams to the sword when we dominate and create chance after chance. Lukaku can certainly do that. It’s the main reason why we scraped 4th this season. Unable to score from the dozen chances we created and getting sucker punched by shit teams repeatedly.
Thats great and all, but its when the big games comes around, you think he's going to accept being a sub? No chance, and having Lukaku in big games is basically having him play against you.
Trouble is we've spent bucket loads on mostly 4th or 5th choices instead of spending the big bucks on the true world class talent leaving us with Lindelof, Fred, Mata, Matic & VDB who hardly played last season & in the past signing the likes of Fellini, that average midfielder from Southampton whose name escapes me (Scnideling or something) & has totally disappeared since leaving UTD & others like them.
We need to spend the big money on players that will make a difference & hold down a regular starting place not spend £40m-£50m on numerous players who don't make a difference & hardly ever earn a place in the starting line-up.
Say, for example we've forked out on average £50m per player on 10 players over the past 6 years & every one of them hasn't made that much difference & hasn't improved the team, that's about £500m down the drain, compare that with forking out £100m each on 5 world class players that will make a difference & will be regular first team starters, the same outlay (£500m) but instead of having 10 players leaving UTD after making zero difference or staying at UTD and hardly playing, you've got 5 players who are true quality & regular starters, maybe then we would be nearer to winning things.
Think he has improved and it's probably not fair to rate him with the same scale .
More over when you say big games, it's just against City though. He will easily be a good fit against United and Liverpool.
Would like to know what has been his total loan fees with all clubs combined. Probably higher than his transfer fees.
Mourinho didn't want Bergwjin. It's the club signing. Our Spurs residents can confirm.
Doubt over Poch ability to drag them back up soonest. I meant he didn't leave Spurs on high. He got sacked after losing the dressing room containing many of these players. If Poch returns to Spurs now, his short tenure at PSG if anything would do more harm to his authority. Losing Ligue 1 and leaving after 6 months, while Tuchel won CL at Chelsea during pretty much same period, there is now doubt over his ability to deal with demand and pressure at a more ambitious club.
I think Poch leaving after 6 months will look bad to fans, but if he can make a real change at a new club, it will not hurt him.....If he loses the locker room at his new destination it could be a career ending blow. I think it is very risky with a huge reward, but a killer downside.
We have been asking ourselves this same question since the glazers took over to be honest. It’s only the brilliance of Fergie that papered over the cracks, but we could still see the problems. It has definitely gotten worser (to absolute shite) after Fergie retired.
Having said that, we, as fans, have no clue what goes on behind the scenes. Neither do the journalists. That makes it even more frustrating, imo, and makes the people running our beloved club look like complete novices.
Every night I pray for a whistleblower to come out and expose all the management bullshit.
Hes going to cry when he realises he wont be playing the big games. Its classic Lukaku
I do agree with you, but arguably the main reason you only finished 4th is because you had Lampard for half a season. If Tuchel had been in place last summer you'd probably have challenged for the title. Bit you're right - you do need a proper goal scoring striker
Even under Tuchel profligacy in front of goal is by far and away our biggest issue.

Seems Rice is still possible for Chelsea
He might want him but it'll be a massive feck you to Lampsy if they buy Rice for Tuchel when last summer they wouldn't. He'll obviously end up there if the deal can be done.
Spending big money is the issue
The problem last season was that he was given all the targets he basically wanted, including a record signing that needed a whole season to develop. He didn’t or couldn’t get the best out of that squad and if you look at the difference in approach to the later City games from the 3-0 debacle at Stamford Bridge you can see the difference Tuchel has made to the mentality of the side.
Simply put, they weren’t going to give him more signings when the ones he made and the squad were good enough to win the PL let alone the UCL
I think you need to watch Chelsea under Tuchel more. They tend to win 1-0 or only scored 1 goal due to they don't have enough clinical finisher in their team. In their 19 league games under Tuchel, only 9 games they managed to score more than 1 goal. Those 10 games were either 0-0 or 1-0. Majority were very closed matches score and they definitely need a new clinical striker to make sure they can win games instead of relying on 1-0 victory.
So that underlines the point, Rice isn’t the answer atm.
You won’t get Haaland this season but you do need one. Kane I doubt will move to such hated rivals
Shades of Mourinho wanting Maguire
But he came in to steady a sinking ship. He did that very well.
Remember SAF said that titles were won on the back of 1-0 wins. Get a clinical striker and they’ll
be winning a lot more
You can't keep relying on 1-0 victory, because 1-0 victory has potential to get 0-0 draws like us (we had 7 of 0-0 draws in the league). Thus, why they need a clinical striker to make sure they don't get those draws.
That’s the point, they need that clinical striker and then 1-0 turns into 2/3.
At any rate as UCL winners I doubt if they give a feck how he did it.
Next season will be crucial, remember they sacked Di Matteo after winning the thing
Well, that's what I said. Not sure why are you replying to my post.
I am entitled to agree with posters. Makes a change from posters arguing. Do you agree
Im secretly hoping they bring in Lukaku and he'll be awful, but I think Tuchel will make him work.
Rice and Kante in one team would be an odd fit.

Seeing Grealish play a bit part role at City would hurt a lot.
Matic and Kante under Conte?
