Despite the main source of stuff in the last few days - @Hercules - explicitly saying he's not going to post much today. And despite JJ tweeting that he hopes you "enjoy the ride", I think it was fairly obvious that we weren't going to be chockablock full of updates.
I think we just need to chill a bit.
Mahrez is the only one i think meets that criteria, in that he was allowed to leave Algeria training earlier today to sign for someone, but no-one knows who it is. Frankly Spurs must be one of the few clubs in the world that would want this kept under wraps and the info we had that this is what we did with SA makes me slightly hopeful. Shame that JJ has denied it though.
Pay 40 million for him and I might have to start convincing myself that he'll be brilliant.Hmmm...You've changed your stance from a poor player to not rating him that highly, progress lol
scored the winning goal against PSG in the CL
Gotcha! You're weakening aren't you, you are actually allowing yourself to sniff the heady aroma of optimism.Wow i would be so impressed if this turns out to be true.
Just caul up from th pub. Love Ou all. Great widow. Good night. Donate in the moaning
Yesterday someone asked for some update trackers - well, for all you lovely but lazy f**ks who don't want to slog through 60+ pages before posting, here's a little update of what's happened so far in the vain hope that you might read it before asking if Jadon Sancho is still coming. Note: I believe this list includes all players linked to and from us today but don't be shy if I've missed any
Current Status: Rob has just stated (~6pm) that our ITKs are convinced it's not over yet after Gomes/Llorente
Incomings
- Aurier Signed! Also confirmed as NOT the pacy winger
- Andre Gomes Confirmed by Rob as Jehovah. Club currently in advance talks of a potential year-long loan. Would replace Barkley. From Stoof: "Gomes 'should' join THFC on loan - apparently obliged to buy for £40m should he play 60% of our games."
- Llorente By all accounts looks promising for a £12m, 2 year deal
- Ross Barkley Rollercoaster. First we haven't stopped interest, then looks bleak, then Barkley's people say they still believe he's coming, then Hertyid & Ali Z claim that it likely isn't going to happen this window... or ever. Most recently, SSN report that THFC has told them they've dropped interest. Meaning the opposite, of course. #Levyed
- Riyad Mahrez Chelsea are currently the forerunners, and Spurs out of the race entirely
- Jadon Sancho signed with Dortmund
- Pacy Winger Confirmed by just about every reliable ITK as a real thing, but no names as of yet. As of the time of this posting, Gards is STILL liking tweets about this signing being kept under wraps. Aurier, Mahrez, Lucas Moura, Di Maria, and Pastore have all been disregarded as candidates.
Outgoings
- Vin Janssen WBA and Stoke both dropped interest, while Swansea initially were pursuing a loan. Haven't heard anything for awhile, looking less likely
- Marcus Edwards Possibly going out on loan
- Kirsty Gallagher Mike London has gone out on an ITK limb to state she's outrageously tidy.
I leave you with a reminder from our dear friendly neighborhood Stoof

Thanks - Updated!Marcus is currently at St George's Park and not going anywhere.
The Mail make up stories.
Is that you really you yank?
Some reports have Barkley going full Odemwingie and turning up in London to get a deal done!
