I can imagine WLB in the office next to Daniel with a cup to the wall. Shouting things to his mate on the laptop at the moment.
great work mate.

2 days to go - we still have so many outgoings to be agreed & done. Growing pessimistic that we will not do whats required
We're hardly the only ones still doing deals. The whole market comes alive in these days - that's the reason it's Groundhog Day is because all clubs suddenly start sharpening pencils to actually do deals.As usual we’re leaving it far too late.
Groundhog Day
A sure fire way to get a 2:2, tried and tested by myself and Premier League ChairmenWe're hardly the only ones still doing deals. The whole market comes alive in these days - that's the reason it's Groundhog Day is because all clubs suddenly start sharpening pencils to actually do deals.
Just like me and my Uni essays. 6 week deadline? Sure. Handed every single one in during the final hour that you were allowed to, having finished them not long before.

The 2 we seem close on are Johnson and Fati. We don't need to sell to sign those 2.2 days to go - we still have so many outgoings to be agreed & done. Growing pessimistic that we will not do whats required
Interesting view which I agree with! The thing that’s annoying is why are we not acting like a big club and acting decisively?The reason why we leave it late is to exert more leverage/pressure in getting favourable terms
It's high risk, but can work out but also can see us miss out with little time to sort other targets.
Most of the bigger Clubs don't actually leave the majority of their business this late.
They've clear targets and act swiftly and decisively.
I think this window has been a bit of both. Some early moves, Madders, and Vicario.. then Micky and Soloman added.. (plus a couple for the future on Philips and Veliz) attention then very focussed on Harry Kane. In the last 2 weeks more work has been done leading up to deadline.The reason why we leave it late is to exert more leverage/pressure in getting favourable terms

Do you mean when they are making signings like Udogie, Vicario, Maddison, and Van de Ven?The reason why we leave it late is to exert more leverage/pressure in getting favourable terms

Don't forget there's been a lot of clubs in for a lot of our players, but the deal went cold, or player didn't want the move. We've been trying.
I get your point and agree it’s a problem when we do it every window but all of Liverpool, United and Chelsea are still looking for players. Let’s not pretend it’s just a Spurs thing.The reason why we leave it late is to exert more leverage/pressure in getting favourable terms
