Over the last few days it has occurred to me the Levy will deliberately bid for players he has no interest in signing as a ploy to get leverage over the clubs he actually wants to buy from. He will do absolutely anything (legal) to get the upper hand when buying or selling.
I believe the loan move for Coutinho was an example of this tactic. And unfortunately the Dybala move looks like the same thing. It is a way of getting our genuine target Lo Celso at the price Levy wants. I think the Dybala deal will now fall through, presumably over wages.
I do think we will sign Lo Celso and Sessegnon which will be a decent transfer window other than the lack of a new right back.

Dybala is on £120k a week at Juve.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've heard £160k but I've no idea if that's reliable. Either way he is just about within our wage structure unless he demands a big pay rise.

Said it all along I think this Dybala is a smokescreen. I’m excited about this Lo Celso, but only if he’s coming in either with another player to replace Eriksen, or he’s coming in and fighting with Eriksen for a starting spot. No way is it a successful window if we sell Eriksen and only get in GLC

If I was a betting man, which I'm not I would bet that we sign GLC and Sessegnon tomorrow and no one else. We won't get Dybala.
As for Eriksen I've not idea what will happen there. But it's more when he leaves rather than if.

1. Eriksen will stay.
2. Dybala is coming too.
3. Lo Celso deal is TBS.
Fingers crossed.

Not sure what TBS means but If those three happen plus we get Sessegnon we're in dreamland.

To Be Signed.
Note Real Betis have already brought in Nabil Fekir.
As replacement for Lo Celso ....so looking promising.

Does anybody know exactly what Dybala's wages are ATM at Juve?
It is listed as 5.9 million GBP which works out at 492,000GBP/week.
Can that be correct?
Levy ain't no way paying even half of that!
Maybe my calculator is wrong?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes calc is wrong and buddy.
I think levy is gonna struggle with Eriksen deal. 5pm tomoz and pl teams can’t buy until jan. European teams have nearly another month to do a deal however European teams ban talk to him in jan to go on a free. Think levy’s gonna not get what he wants but let’s see
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes, I was wrong.
So maybe we get Dybala as well as Lo Celso.
And Sessignon.
Should keep Pochettino happy.
----------------------------------------------------------------------Ndombele and lo Celso seem to have been who Poch wanted. So should keep him happy.

Let's be honest, if we want to really challenge for the title with the likes of City, then bringing in a player like Dybala along with Lo Celso and/or Fernandes should be on the agenda. If we're just replacing Eriksen with one other player then we're not really moving forward. And if we're keeping him then we've missed a chance to sell him for anything...something I can't believe Levy would let happen by the way.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I would add that we should have signed AWB if we were serious about the title. But hey, why not keep the cash and finish 4th?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
so we should be buying Dybala at 65m NDombele at 55m AWB at 50m and Lo Celso at 60m and Sess for 25m and the Leeds guy at 10m. .so just a small spend of 260m
