He's young, but I'm not really convinced he's good enough. Zaha would be a much better choice imo. Or any of the brazilian wingers of the moment (Neres or Malcom)

I like the kid...what I really like is his work ethic and never say die attitude. He plays with an edge to him and I think with a better squad around him, that he will only get better. He is somewhat bi-footed too which is nice.

Edit: I hear he hasn't had a break in 12 months or so with the Brazlian league ending at an odd date? Is that true?

Seriously?!
Unless you are Poch and have taken to talking about yourself in the third person after your latest mental fart outbreak, what grounds do you have to make that statement?

Well maybe because Barkley is a talented footballer and Sissoko isn't. I pity anyone who thinks that Poch would pick Sissoko over Barkley if given the opportunity of both players at his disposal. You must think Poch is clueless.

Thankfully I think Poch is just being pragmatic and using the squad he has available to the best of his ability.

So the itk’s are saying unlikely to do business in January. Poch said about a month ago that might be smarter for us to work in January. So if itks are prove to be correct(which I’m sure they will be). is he going to be pissed at the lack of business.

barkley official to chavs.

Just got a text about this. His wage demands would have put him ahead of Kane. Levy was prepared to pay it as wages structure will be shifting higher from the summer, but Poch didn't want to set a precedent or upset the squad dynamic. Also big concerns over injury and how much he would play this season.

First time ever Levy has opened his wallet and been shunned?

From my understanding that was about lining up deals for the summer in January. Kind of like what Liverpool did with Keita. From the ITK we have had, it sounds like some deals have already been agreed to, so in theory we have done some business in the window.

Only disappointed in missing out on RB because the side is desperate for a long-term Dembele replacement who can play week in week out.

Oh dear. That doesn't fit the narrative..

Wow...so the rumors that we are paying Kane and Toby their fair share may be true then. I can't believe Ross thinks he deserves more than Eriksen and the like.

But if that is the case, Poch can't be pissed about not getting business done. There seem to be quite a bit of mixed messages coming out of camps, but as an ITK whore, all I can say is...juicy.

Shifting wage structure higher would be fantastic news. Willing to sign a player who be earning over 100k a week would be fantastic news. Glad Poch vetoed this signing if true but hope it doesn't mean we haven't got a better alternative lined up for now not summer, can't afford to wait.

Bullet dodged.

coy-spurs1882 · Jan 5, 2018

keeping kane and toby is more important than signing barkley imo

The ITK was that we like him but aren't convinced as yet. No doubt will be continued to be watched.

suggests that Poch is being backed which frankly is my primary concern for the next few windows to be honest!

Did they say we wouldn't do any business, or that there wouldn't be any incoming players in January? I'm sure Poch mentioned that we might need to agree deals for players that come in next summer.

I think the best we can hope for this window is securing Sessegnon for the summer.

If we can do that, then it would be a very good January transfer window.

SpartanSpur · Jan 5, 2018

Can certainly live with the Hertyid ITK. If we can get close to parity with Liverpool and Arsenal on wages this year we should be able to consolidate as a regular contender.

I personally would rather we got at least one player in now to freshen things up however, a pacey/tricky attacker or ball playing CM.

Wrapping up new deals for Kane and Toby and getting Sessegnon signed for summer would still be amazing business however, and the squad has just been boosted by the returns of Wanyama, Rose and Lamela.

Does sound a bit Levy favouring though, @Trix had a great source on RB and seemed to suggest it was all injury related and we had no intention of moving for him this window.

Hercules update suggested that new info came to light. Perhaps Barkley' s agent suddenly demanded more salary, due to Chelsea offering more (we know what they are like when competing for players) and this was the new info. Could be many things I suppose but just trying to piece it all together.
