As the inertia builds to a crescendo…
News in from Gladys that no firm bids have been placed with anyone.
Enquiries have been made, but in the instance of Wilfried Zaha – the only development has been the escalation of the asking price.
With Jack Grealish, an equity was made, a quote provided and then nothing.
If the information is correct, then Levy is teed up yet again to thrash matter out at the death.
It’s sad that we’ve come to this, but the party line will already be rehearsed.
‘Look at where we were’, ‘fiscal prudence is our friend’, and some heavy browed muttering about stadium costs, the price of fish, etc etc.
This, all flying in the face of the colossal price hikes.
Instead the club’s narrative will be ‘well we kept Kane, and now we want to kick on’.
Is this truly depressing?
Well, it’s clearly less awful than having sold Kane or perhaps Eriksen.
However, the issues in our midfield, namely Mousa and Moussa cannot be glossed over.
A chump on here earlier reminded us of Harry Winks’ existence in this respect.
This is like reminding us about Foyth if Vertonghen gets injured.
