I was.

Bednarek is not remotely as bad as some on this forum make out. I'd be happy with him and Salisu as a 1st choice pairing.

How is being 'fine for what we need' = fucked?

Salisu and Bednarek are fine for what we need as 1st choice.

A 3rd/4th choice centre back isn't going to be the difference between staying up and going down.

Random Spurs fans spouting rumours isn't particularly credible as a source. Especially as PL rules don't allow for swap seals and both those players being not particularly great.

Makes sense now. Previously was too small to make out on my phone! 😁

@Lord Duckhunter should take a look at his avatar! What is going on there!?

Yes he has, he played vs Fulham.

Hasenhuttl confirmed today Ward-Prowse will be available to play vs Everton.

It is harder than you think... 😉 "under no circumstances, shall more than one be from the same club at any one time" https://www.premierleague.com/news/464747

I struggle to see how that would help us.

No it doesn’t. He was back in full training on Tuesday getting ready for the Everton game with a strapped up knee due to his injury.

Salisu would be replacing Vestergaard in the starting XI, so any additional centre won't be playing straight away. I think you are also overlooking why Salisu didn't feature early on last season. It wasn't for lack of experience (he had just had a season as first choice in La Liga).

Me stating publicly that I'm sure is proof that I'm sure.

Yup

In FM terms that is a massive downgrade.

Bednarek and Salisu is good enough for what we need. Stephens and the new signing as back-ups.

Hasenhuttl stated a replacement would be signed.

Ben White is 6 years younger and had 3 years left on his contract. That inflates the price vs a 29 year old with 1 year left.

Tanguy Ndombélé cost Spurs £54m So why not for a 26 year old PL club captain with 4 years left on his contract?

I don't think he did word it like that. What if a club bid £100m for him?

Why couldn't things have progressed over today?

What is the purpose of holding it back? You are allowed 4 domestic loans in a season, but only 2 at a time. We currently have 1.
