Would we really have a chance landing Vlahovic when bigger clubs are linked to him? I guess maybe the pull of Conte might be enough.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That is the only reason. Juve like him but they are reportedly skint. Not sure who else is interested in him.

Gossip pages the other day said a couple of the big PL teams were linked but were put off by £200K a week wage demands.
Ali G just posted Lo Celso has another injury which kept him out of the squad yday.

Think that was the daily star. He is currently on under £30k a week. I doubt he would command such an increase but Levy does like to give players bonus which could sweeten the deal for him.
I would much rather see us blow the budget on Vlahovic than buy 3 or 4 cheap players hoping we've found a bargain. As we know, this rarely works with our scouting system.

I don't know a great deal about him but he appears one of the in form strikers around now and we need another striker. Would he and Kane be able to play together in the same team?

Time to get rid.
I'd quite like Traore as a RWB. The guy has a unique skill set, but is clearly never going to be clinical enough to be a top attacking player.
I feel like under a top coach like Conte he could learn the role. Would be good to have the option of an attacking RWB.

He has played there for wolves but defensively I am not sure about? That's why I like Royal. As a full back or wing back you have to have the fundamentals of being a good defender.

Too expensive to be a back up option. If he was 25m then yes

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I think I would rather we spent 70m on Belotti, Brozovic and Botman or Romagnoli than all on Vlahovic. Knowing our luck he would have a hamstring injury.

Totally agree and we also have a ready made replacement for harry kane long term
Vlahovic would be a bad signing

Lol
I'd sell ndombele and celso first before getting cms in or we are just going to have them picking up wages not playing I'm done with everyone's time being wasted with them.
I agree that for the money it's debatable with other needs but another forward is high on the list. It's the signing top clubs make but maybe we are not at that level to be able to make this signing.
1) he isn't worth the amount of money he will cost
2) even if he was worth it, spending that much money on what will be, at least in the short term, a back up striker when we have other needs is a bad use of resources
It's not a back up.striker though. We need alternatives to what we have already.
A young striker in some of the best form of anyone in Europe would cost silly money but with them needing to sell him in the summer with 1 year left will mean he's available for less than he's worth tbf

Wrong
He's not gonna start big games over Son or Kane so whether or not you want to call him a backup or an alternate option I stand by the fact that it's a bad idea to spend circa £70m (the number I've seen floated around) on him.
He's 10th for non penalty goals per 90 in the serie A this season - people are talking about him like he's having some haaaland-esque season when it's just not true. He's a very good young striker who we should not be spending even £50m on.
Well... I think Doherty & Dele need to be the first to go...
Followed by Winks(people going overboard about one decent game, against a depleted Liverpool midfield)
Rodon needs to go to... he’s never going to get a game, is he!
Sanchez needs to go, if we can get a top quality upgrade....
Lo Celso... quality player, but is never fit... he’s a massive underachiever
That’s enough for now
Need another striker, maybe bring in Bale on loan too,another RB, CD & CM.... providing the aforementioned leaves...
This is for the next 2 transfer windows...
Can't say I'm overwhelmed with Vlahovic and I do think Aarons is pretty poor.
I'd be happy with Lamptey, I'm not really sure who else. Even Kessie, who is by all accounts quality, would be fighting in a position we are well stocked in - and I don't know what the plan would be.
Gollini --> GK
Sanchez --> LCB
Doherty --> RWB
Lucas /Bergwijn --> CF (whoever impresses more this season can stay)
Are the only changes I'm currently comfortable saying have to happen by the start of next season.
Japh, Rodon, Ndombele, PEH, Winks, Lo Celso and Dele all get the rest of the season to impress (each one that doesn't do so will have to be sold and replaced, except for the CMs potentially if Conte likes Sarr or Bryan for those spots)
