ali z: Fully expect Foyth, Aurier and Barkley to be spurs player, city plaing hardball with Sancho, we want a forward (poch desperate for 1) not heard anyhing that exciying, we were interested in Martial but was told no go.
Poor Poch , he has been desperate for a forward for the last four windows. Aurier and Barkley would be a job well done add an attacker/ game changer Daniel and show intent.

The ITK certainly fits with the areas of the squad that need filling !
A little surprise would be lovely.

Forwards are just too expensive for Daniel I'm afraid.
Bang on, the front line is where quality costs the most and we simply won't pay what is required in either fees but more importantly in wages and thus far we seem to have been pretty poor at unearthing the cheap gems, so last summer we get GKN instead of Dembele.

Forwards that will be in the pecking order behind the top goal scorer in the league two years running and two other attackers who scored 20+ goals.
No, forwards that will push Dele and Son and rotate with them. Liverpool seem able to buy loads of them, we just won't pay the wages.

The word is can't. But anyway. My fault, I bit on the above post. Let's keep it away from this sort of chat as I'm never going to agree with you.

We aren't in a position to pay the wages, or at least we haven't been, that should change from next season, hopefully we'll start now.
That said, our wages have been rising steadily over recent years so I am confident our main man will continue that.

Just cant see anything special happen. Been there so many times on the last few days of the transfer window in years gone by. Levy and his wheelbarrow in Spain, the plane being ready on stand by, all the Fabiano talk before the first champs league etc etc.

And VDV only came off because Harry got a tip off via Jamie Redknapp who was told by Ruud Gullit that he was available. And i think thay was with no more than 36 hours to go. So that was, really, an amazing deal we are unlikely to pull off ever again.

If there was something special, word would be out by now.

Aurier, Foyth and Barkley. I think that will be about it and Poch will be waiting again for a quality, quick forward.

Yes, a pacey one that will push them like Poch wants according to ITK. We also have the best central defenders in the league but we have just bought 2 more.

I'm sure JJ will be here to piss on our chips before too long.

Actually worried about jj as we haven't seen or heard anything off him in a while hope he's okay.

Maybe the something big if it's true what someone said the guy has contacts at bt maybe the something big is rose leaving?

My point was convincing that sort of player to come given what we've got. See Morata earlier this season.

Just going to try to pass that off about rafa as fact then ?

Seem to remember a interview with Harry himself where he said he got a call from levy saying would you like vdv and he knew naff all about it until that call.

Maybe I had a dream that that happened and it was all fairy dust and sparkles.
