All this to sign a squad player from a broke Championship team? Laughable. The only player we’re actually being linked to? Imagine us trying to negotiate for a truly top class player? Not happening is it.
We may get Grealish over the line eventually , but we’ll be left disappointed by the end of this window no doubt.??

It's becoming more frequent that there's a story to these signings, isn't there... A reason why the deal's can't be done in good time for the non-deadline day signings.

GKN's wasn't obvious but he spent what seemed like 10 years in a hotel room. Long walk to freedom.

Then Aurier's story (Lawyers involved)

And Lopez's story (We wouldn't pay an extra €4m).

It is commonly known as trying to be too clever by half and hard to deal with.

Aurier's I understand, he literally couldn't enter the country without clearance from the courts and I'm pretty sure there was a set date. The others I agree, it's very tiresome.

Every other club seems to be able to wrap up most transfers without them becoming a saga.

Spurs? Oh we’re just grateful if one or two every few years don’t turn into absolute soap operas.

It really is getting draining to say the least.

And with only 20 days of the window left...


Christ, we love to make it difficult for ourselves don't we :whistle:

Nail hit on head, this is exactly why we don’t sign truly top class players, we just make tits of ourselves by trying to hammer down the price when we already know what’s required to get the player and we then decide in our our wisdom to offer less than what is required.

40 degrees celsius here in Dallas, TX and I'm cool as a cucumber!

Did the conversion for you all just to be nice. It fits with the Grealish talk btw cause of the American tour, etc. It's hot AF here.
Same here in Austin and I am not. AC took its own life last night!
You blokes don't know what hot is! When it hits 45 degrees talk to me!
Just another summers day in South Australia! (y)

I'm not worried on this one due to the info from the ITKs. They have all been saying the same thing.

I am however very worried about everything else.
Agree. Shit needs to be moving fairly quickly in the next three weeks. Imagine the amount of effort and expertise required in shifting and buying approximately 6 Knightsbridge mansions in that time

It’s like a Tennessee Williams play every window

Disappointing to see how long this is taking to complete. I remember back to when we could bring Maddison to the club for £2 million. And now look how much we need to pay for a similar player. Whoever decided against this made a huge mistake.

Will be left until the last day, as usual. Along with the Dele and Eriksen contracts. Make us look busy on the last day.

If that’s how it plays out we will be looking for a new manager just before then or shortly after, be brave he said- two months ago !

If we haven’t seen significant movements by this time next week - and by that I mean a couple of outgoings either done or very close to, a couple of incomings at least at medical stage and preferably announced - then I think we’ve squandered a great opportunity of a transfer window for no good reason other than our board’s pathological insistence upon pissing about.
