I think if City are serious about Kane, Bernardo Silva and Aymeric Laporte would be ideal players to try using as makeweights. Both fix problems Spurs have and would presumably reduce the 160m-odd fee that keeps getting touted.

Ha, if this was on the table, then I think we'd be incredibly tempted. However, this would rely on A) them taking a pay-cut, B) wanting to move to Spurs C) being mental for doing so. 

That's the problem, nearly any player we would want in a deal will either need to take a pay cut or won't want to come. It's a bit of a non-starter. 

Very, very happy with Romero. By all accounts he's a top defender and is a massive step forward in fixing our biggest problem. Now, just keep him away from Dr. Tottenham at all costs. 

Happy with our summer business so far, I expect Tomiyasu to get done after the Olympics have finished, and there were rumours we might look at Damsgaard or former youth product Mandueke next. I think so much depends on what happens with Kane, obviously. 

And as is ever the case, so much deadweight to shift, plenty of players who want to move away still haven't found a home; Serge, Sanchez, Sissoko, CCV still on the books. Jack Clarke needs another loan. Winks might've fought himself into Nuno's plans, but I think we should sell at a good offer now we have Skippdinho back.

The real winner is Szumi because he posted both of those tweets 3 hours ago.

American SoccerBall fans get no respect!

[Baddar]

Lukaku to Chelsea is done.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

Hope he's ready to play second fiddle to the Big Tam resurgence

[Szumi]

Seems fitting since @Baddarbeat me to it this time 😛

 

 

[Baddar]

Rom has had a crazy amount spent on him these last 6 or 7 years.

[The Lusophone]

He's like Alvaro Morata but actually good.

[Roster Depth Sicko No. 2]

If Alvaro Morata learned the offside rule I'm convinced he'd be the most lethal striker in the world.

I don't pay attention to what other clubs do most of the time, so, I'm kinda surprised by this. Obviously Chelsea have gone through different managers and stuff since he was there originally.  But there's something wild about the fact they have spent 115 million on someone they already had on their books once.

Shit!

[Baddar]

"plan" to play him alongside is all well and good until you sell Kane on Wednesday.

[Lineker]

Well that was a fun five minutes.

It's not like it's the first time this has happened. Man Utd spent, what, £85m bringing back Pogba?

It also doesn't really seem like Pogba returning helped Utd all that much, given the on/off relationship he seems to have with everyone that isn't Raiola. If Lukaku can deliver 10+ goals a season then he's already going to improve a Chelsea side that just won the Champions League.

Axel Tuanzebe has joined Aston Villa on loan.

I completely forgot Paul Pogba even existed tbh
