If we get Ndombele, Alli and Lo Celso moves lined up then yes, it will have been a success in my eyes.
Brilliant for the wage bill, they add nothing to the squad. But surely we need to build on our chance of top 4 as well as clear out deadwood?

Conte saying we are short numbers so they go and ship out nDombele, Lo Celso and Gil and bring in Kulu and Bentancur WTF this leaves us seriously light. Add Clarke and John to that list and we're digging into the U13s to fill our bench

Alasdair Gold saying it's currently expected the Juventus duo will be our only incomings today.
Let us not forget Ally is part of the same convo group as Gards and O'Keefe. It's more than possible he's just relaying the same info rather than it being his own, and before anyone says anything that does not mean that I think he doesn't have his own sources, but we've seen snippets of this whatsapp group so are somewhat aware of how it operates.

Thats the only way we way we get a replacement in so lets hope Doherty goes. But the reliable informants are saying we appear to be done for the day,

Don’t get your hopes up, Sky just say any name now and hope something happens so they can claim they had inside knowledge. Amazingly they’re the last ones to know anything these days!

I think it really is +2 players for him because he would not use Gio or Ndombele anyway. It's more about players who are actually available for selection i think.

He did get the line up for the Chelsea game right really early so he has some info but I'd still trust him less than I could throw him

We don't want to derail this thread but I'll just say this. Some of these guys hang around on WhatsApp with actual journalists, sources, etc. Obviously when a journo hears something he checks his sources, doesn't post it unless he can get it confirmed, etc. That same standard isn't kept to by the hangers on and so they'll "break" the news and it doesn't really matter if they're right or wrong. This is absolutely what Gards was doing. He might know a couple of people and used that to leverage his access to more people (including JJ, etc), taking their info and using that to leverage more access. It's all a house of cards built on sand and ultimately bullshit.

We are light on numbers because he cant trust a few players.
Moving those on and replacing them with players (you would hope) he trusts and plays strengthens us

And as if like clockwork, Ally has just posted something very similar to O'Keefe.

There's stuff still happening/ being discussed/worked on. Always the same on deadline day it's on, it's off, its back on again. Just because second rate aggregators posing as journalists don't know what is going on doesn't mean that there isn't. 11 hours to go and things are constantly changing, but it is not the time to start worrying just yet.
Ill only worry when you tell me to Trix :yuck:

No and they’ll be good additions. However if you asked any fan what position we needed to look at in the window no one would’ve said the 2 they play in.
What? A forward and a CM? Apart from RWB that is exactly what we were after. And the outgoings are probably just as important if not more so, as we have a bloated squad of players, some with the wrong mentality, some who are not suited to Conte's system. Having funds and space in the squad for the summer window is essential.
