Bissouma would be amazing this early. Seems close on Spence and Eriksen too.

At this rate deadline day will be the most laid back ever and the itk post mortem thread will be the itk post orgey thread.

It occurs to me that, given nearly all of our targets are also being looked at by Arsenal, the game vs. them was a real sliding doors moment.

Assuming the guidance in this thread is right, would we really be getting Bissouma, Eriksen, Spence and whoever else we get had we we not beaten them? I very much doubt it

Nice

Just asked about Bissouma and my guy doesn't know anything other than our previous interest that was cooled a while back. He did say though that multiple are now negotiating on our behalf for various players and that we have gotten a firm knock back for Mckennie which could have triggered us to push quickly elsewhere. I'll do some poking around but nothing of note on this one as yet.
Thanks for the update mate. Tbh could be a blessing in disguise as I think Bissouma will be a better fit in a midfield 2. Mckennie is a good player but a little more box to box whereas Bissouma like Wanyama will cover every blade of grass and will boss the middle.

My congrats to A&C for his fiendish cryptic this morning.

We're all here innocently reading about ostriches and biscuits, totally ignoring the fact that Bullet's avatar (Marley) is a homonym of the country where our imminent signing comes from (Mali).

Well played, sir.
Genius

I never post in this thread but that's incredible news to wake up to here in the States.



Obviously I'm talking about Bullet's birthday. Just remember as you celebrate that what you're actually celebrating is your parents having sex. Enjoy.

Congratulations to bullets parents for successfully having sex! We've all tried and failed!

Sounds like it could be quite an important week with movement on Bissouma and potentially also Spence and Erkisen

Apologies, missed this. No surprise, Nine while Nine got there first! ?

I was happy enough with McKennie for the same price so am very happy it's Bissouma instead.
May have to start changing my opinion in the 'How close are we to Pool/City' thread again if this carries on.

I seem to recall there being info a few weeks back that we wanted all of our incomings tied up before the squad heads off to Korea, which I think is the first week of July?

If we can get Eriksen, Spence and Bissouma done this week, that leaves Fabio just over two weeks to seal the big money deals for Richarlison and either Bastoni or Torres.

At which point you’ve gotta think that’s our squad complete, unless any great opportunities arise later in the window.

A full two months before deadline day!

If we end up signing Perisic, Forster, Bissouma, Eriksen and Spence in the first week of a transfer window, I cannot think of another summer window that comes close in terms of improving a squad.

That we have the rest of the window and will come away with at least one CB and Richarlison/A.N.Other plus potential for more...?

We've not seen anything like this, for sure. All of the years of building up the club finally being splooged all at once. Incredible times. Conte more than serious about wanting a tilt at the title immediately, clearly.

spot on…does anyone know what this means to our HG vs foreign quota?
