Can you imagine the meltdown when poch leaves?
Doesn't bear thinking about.

I'm positive that there were Son rumours. I had him down as one of the cabbages, I must have had gotten from somewhere ... Wanyama was heavily discussed beforehand, Alderweireld broke down the SC server. So yeah, I welcome some good olde fuzz about a player.In last couple of summer windows, most of the key signings like Son, was done out of nowhere, with no hint of prior rumours. So, I am not too worried with lack of activity. Its very much possible, we have already identified the realistic targets & just waiting for opportune time to go all in for the player.
Waiting until deadline day hurts them more than us. Barkley is a key player for them. If they sell him on deadline day, whatever the money, they risk not getting a suitable replacement. For us, Barkley would be an additional player - if we get him, great, if we don't then we're no worse off than last season.
Don't we have a good few also? Depends if you include Alli, Debelle, Lamella, Song, NoCanDo and Winks etc but I think you should as we don't call them strikers. Also I would think we will prioritise a striker first and then replacing any players we may loose ( like Walker).city have got a zillion attacking midfield players though, i cant see them being interested
I would agree with that as ITK has been quite weak last few windows. However I would like us to get our players in earlier. I think we never hit the ground running because of this and it must change. We need all our players in before start of season.In last couple of summer windows, most of the key signings like Son, was done out of nowhere, with no hint of prior rumours.

We won 5 out of our opening 7 games last year mate, are you expecting us to win every game?I would agree with that as ITK has been quite weak last few windows.

i think the only problem is that everton is asking for an unreasonable price (50m?) for a player wanting out and having a year left on his contractDidn't we have itk to say we want Barkley recently from trix? Too much smoke without fire regarding that one and there certainly looks like there would have been contact with a lot more itks saying we have? Don't believe there isn't anything there. Just my grapes on the matter.

Yeah DL just playing hardball. Treat em mean keep em keenLooking at the info from @spursfan77 it say Had a very interesting chat to someone last night who is right in the middle of this deal. As things presently stand, there is no chance of him coming to us, and from what he told me, that is very unlikely to change.
The thing that stands out is In the middle of this deal Which implies we are talking.

Apparently Southampton announced Mauricio Pellegrino as their new manager. Maybe they can't still move on with Pochettino.
Pretty sure Everton will soften their stance. Whether that's enough for Levy, we shall see.
Sounds like a Levy sort of transaction - saving money by bringing out the old track suits with 'MP' on them.
