Zatara
Player Valuation: £100m
The question the becomes, why haven't someone gone out and bought him. I can see;
1) His age puts people off
2) Napoli want too much (and potentially are inflexible on the fee structure-so what a lot up top)
3) The different scouting metrics have spotted something in his game that is putting people off.
I suspect we will bring someone in like Todibo and that will be the end of the discussion. However if it gets to Sunday, we've won against Brighton, I can see Moshiri going a bit nuts, Zaha style and saying to Brands to whack in a tempting offer for him. The Allan negotiations seem to have gone smoothly so there is a rapport between the clubs. A lot will depend on how much Napoli need (as opposed to want) to sell.
If we go on around the £50m mark there is a world where it coud happen.
As a slight aside, if we get to January in the top 2-3, does anyone else think Moshiri throws substantial money at it to go for trophies? It seems the exact situation whereby he gets carried away and we bring 3-4 in. I could even see Milik at a nominal fee with his contract nearly up.
It would be hilarious if we signed Koulibaly.
For £60+ mil on a 29 year old i cant see that in a million years.
I think @BlueToff mentioning Skriniar is more likely on a loan with option or guaranteed buy for £40mil.
Thats something i think everyone could agree on in terms of quality, age, price and terms of deal.
