A few bits trickled into The Goat's shell-like ears…………..JR is not going to force a move, The Goat hears that he is happy with the medical team getting him back to recovery so will happily wait until January and decide what he will do then. Also a little snippet, his Jump increased by 40% in under a year using a resistance machine Poch uses and has taken to Spurs.
Schneiderlin. It's possible that he will be sold AFTER the first game of the season. They are adamant that he will be with the club on the first day of the season to prove a point and hopefully squeeze more money out of us.

Nothing earth shattering, or surprising really but The Goat has heard, from a couple of sources, that the club have accepted bids for a number of players but it is the players being unwilling to move to these clubs which has stalled our outgoings.

The Cryptic
Yesterday The Goat heard a whisper that we were making a move in Italy. The Goat's source asked "Destro"? and was told "Maybe, maybe not". Effectively, there is something going on in Italy and there's more than one iron in the fire. Hence the cryptic.
Today, a second source tells The Goat that although Southampton are dicking us around, another bid has gone in for Schneiderlin today and that Baldini is occupied elsewhere.

The Goat has heard that Southampton's stance on Schneiderlin has privately changed over the course of this weekend. Also that allowing us to sign him would be further entertained should Levy provide assurance regarding Townsend and agree not to make a move for Rodriguez.

The Goat has heard the following:
Musacchio got too complicated with third parties/agent messing around so it looks like that's been shelved, although you never know.
The Goat was also told Fazio medical might get done today, so maybe an announcement later today/tomorrow. We'll see.
Schneiderlin. The club still believe we can get this done and have even offered three different players although no specific names were offered. The Goat was told if this gets done it'll be very late.
Things at the club are on the up, everyone is very happy under Pochettino, the players love him and love working under him, there's a genuine feeling amongst the players that things can be achieved in the next year or two and everyone wants to be part of that. The club are trying to offload three or four, Sandro, Townsend, Paulinho and Lennon can go for reasonable money if they can be convinced they won't be getting much game time.
The Goat has also been told we're already working toward January (Rodriguez and Moreno) and also that Baldini has been travelling around Europe the last few weeks to both find buyers and younger talent from Italy and Spain.

Word has reached The Goat of a stalemate between ourselves and Southampton. Our source was pretty certain that nothing would happen between the clubs at all this window, although never say never, we had our chance to get Schneiderlin this week but we wouldn't part with Townsend.

The Goat has heard that QPR could play a prominent role in tomorrow's shenanigans.
Sandro - He's reluctant to go there, if it happens it'll probably be a loan
Townsend - But other clubs are ahead of the game on that one, namely Southampton and an unnamed club.
Lennon - They are pushing hard for him, the Goat's source says he can see it happening
The Goat says this VERY reluctantly, there were also two other players that QPR are interested in but names weren't offered up*
*And that isn't a cue for twenty six thousand guesses.

We've just had it confirmed to us that Levy has in place our regular "deadline day" overdraft facility.
We do this every window so having it in place today doesn't necessarily mean it'll get used. However, this is something that we pay a considerable amount to have available to us for the last day of the window so that we are extremely flexible and can make cash signings until the final moments without the need to move funds around. Levy believes this makes us far more competitive against the bigger clubs when it comes to spending power for today.
