Agree with @lazypoodle and @absolute bobbins - nothing wrong with being quiet and efficient. Just ask my missus.

SSN are reporting that we only opened discussions with Llorente yesterday and it seems we've nipped in ahead of Chelsea. It can be done without fanfare and I think that's our preferred method of doing business.

Wouldn't surprise me if we're waiting for the dominos to fall. Bony to Swansea, Llorente to us, maybe Janssen off to Stoke and then we've got more cash in the bank for something late on.

So how do loans for academy players work?

He's not signed professional forms yet has he?

So is the loan agreement between City and a Dortmund or the player himself and Dortmund?

I'd have thought we could still agree a contract with him in January regardless of where he is.

he signed a long term contract according to dortmunds website

didn't Usmanov sponsor their training facility and was/ is a business partner of the new owner?

think they are still business partners. they owned the holding company that own part of arsenal together before he left to buy part of everton

and yeah the training ground is sponsored by Usmanov's holding company USM

dont know why but gutted about sancho.

on one hand the desire was due the insatiable desire for more signings, but in reality, this player is not first team ready and is one for the future so would have no impact on this season.

Wonder how he compares to Edwards

Imagine being developed at dortmund and then sign for us when ripe for the picking

No winger is an absolute disaster.

Make no mistake about it.
It would be a disaster, yes, but that hasn't come to pass quite yet. We've had lots of ITK about a pacey player, including from JJ this morning, so let's not rush to judgment until the window is closed.

Without wanting to tempt fate, Aurier, Gomes, Sanchez and Llorente would be a pretty insane window if it all got done (and Gazza of course).

There's no "pacy wide forward" there which obviously every Spurs fan apart from me it seems to think is utterly vital (even though we didn't have one last year either and scored more goals than anyone). Our full-backs provide our width so personally I wouldn't be bothered - Gomes would be the really exciting one for me - a really elegant, classy CM with a great range of passing - something we've been missing for a long time and a perfect foil for Wanyama or Dier. In fact to me it looks like Wanyama and Gomes would be the preferred two CM partnership, with Winks and Dier as their back-ups. Dembele can cover pretty much any position or move further forward.

I'd be over the moon if it all came off.

Pretty happy with things so far today. Curious about the hush hush target though (unless it's gomes) ... in theory everything could be in place but surprised we're not being linked with more players.

And Foyth.
