So taking the Igi, Gards and (now deleted) ValYid info into account, my guess is all the prime targets have fallen through, maybe even Toby too, and Poch has just told Levy he'd rather stick with what he has than taking last minute punts.

Find that hard to believe with our CM situation but makes sense on why such negative news has broken.

It's been noted (JJ I think) that we walk away from deals because agents start playing games and that's not how we operate. Well, unfortunately this is the footballing world agents are going to agent and mess around, that's why we need to start paying up.

We will get left behind.

As the only team to have consistently improved over the last 10 years except for Manchester City, maybe there is more than one way to skin a cat ;)

Agents will be especially painful to deal with this week I'm sure.

Its an opinion based off the ITK that he has received.

Where does it say that? I’ve seen that exact post hundreds of times this window and trust me a lot of them have been firm people who don’t “know” anything.

Unless he wants to elaborate I’m not gonna treat his views on Levy as fact

Gards is an SC ITK... He doesn't post often but he has a few times this window.

This news is hardly surprising to be fair. It summed us up for years now. Anyway roll on Saturday.

I just feel bad for Poch. He’s so talented, he’s got a really strong First XI, and he’s so close to making something truly memorable in terms of on field success. Yet, here we are 2 days before the window closes and we cant get a Championship midfielder over the line as our first (and likely last) signing.

I can’t really blame him if he’s looking elsewhere after this season. I’m not sure how anyone could.

We don’t need to get into a conversation over Gards’s itk status, if you want to treat his opinion as fact that’s cool
Who's treating it as a fact? Honestly when was the last time we had any legit optimistic ITK? What are you all holding onto at this point?

Ah the next level. I remember when Levy was never going to take us to the next Levy back in the days where 4th was the next level and we were always 5th/6th.
Yeah, Levy did that. Not Pochettino or the fucking miracle that is Harry Kane turning into the best striker in the league?

Gards just wrote

"If we made 4 signings it doesn’t matter as it’s the way we have waited and not got anything done"
