So let me get this straight - according to reports we've agreed terms with Bastoni but need to agree a fee with Inter, should they want to sell. Then we're being told the player needs to be convinced of the move. Which one is it? It can't be both. If everything is agreed with the player then he surely doesn't need convincing? Conflicting stories going on here. Someone is bullshiiiiiiting.
My only worry is that if those reports are true in that he has a reluctance to leave despite Inter trying to push him out of the door to get some much needed cash, how motivated is he going to be to play for Spurs? Imagine playing for Spurs, being really settled and then you're told "off you pop, I've sold you to Inter. Sell your house, tell your family, your flights are in 4 hours. See-ya". The guy clearly doesn't want to leave so maybe we should just cut our losses and look elsewhere. Hesitancy doesn't bode well and will likely mean a very-very long settling in process and if he loves Italy that much, how settled will he really be in London.

Also, you have to bear in mind that they plan on bringing Lukaku and Dybala in. They're not cheap in terms of wages. Something has to give and it might means a sacrificial lamb at the back.

Apparently Inter are taking Lukaku back and £30m in exchange for Lautaro Martinez, so don`t need to raise money by selling Bastoni, which weakens our position in trying to sign him.

Well, you can bet at some point Chelsea will be behind it one way or another. Still waiting for them to announce "we have signed Perisic"

Have we signed Perisic yet? Only medical was yesterday, and not heard a peep out of the club.

His contract expires on July 1st same as Forster but looks like agreements are in place... Would not expect he hear anything more on either for a month. I believe both have completed medicals

I reckon A lot of the delay is due to the new kit. They want new players holding the new kit, but need to release it first.
Pure guess obviously

Not sure that would wash with Conte. Doesn't seem like the kinda guy to put up with Levy's cheesy marketing scams

Here's an idea, release the new kit early.... Problem solved.. Most clubs release their new shirt before the end of the prev season

Don't be daft. It will get announced before then. City announced Haaland before the window opened. It's just Spurs being Spurs. We always drag this stuff out. Can't think why.

Would Conte care if the player has signed but we just haven’t released the news yet?
Personally I don’t think he would give a 5hit about that

I’m with you on this - I can never understand the delay, not only are the home and away kits leaked, but you can buy knock off versions already.
Just another area where the club are somewhat slack
