While I'm as hopeful as the rest, it's now 7pm, 6pm in London actually. If we were actually signing an extra attacker - not Gomes/Llorente - don't you think there would be at least some smoke? Some link? Even a burning ember?
Mahrez is the only one i think meets that criteria, in that he was allowed to leave Algeria training earlier today to sign for someone, but no-one knows who it is. Frankly Spurs must be one of the few clubs in the world that would want this kept under wraps and the info we had that this is what we did with SA makes me slightly hopeful. Shame that JJ has denied it though.

Well one positive for the pacy winger link is that it cant be viewed as levy pretending to sign a big player so he can say we tried. If that was the case his named would be being linked all over the place. The fact its being kept so secretive means were genuinely trying to sign him.

Went for a business trip to Holland on Monday this week only to find myself ending up in bed with a severe throat infection. The weather was beautiful with almost 30 degrees and seeing my collegues go out enjoying a few pints in the sun on both Monday and Tuesday evening was quite painful. I was only ok (not really but I had to) to travel home yesterday. 9 hours of travelling totally knackered me so had to go straight to bed.

Well enough shit about me - just wanted to say that the week has anyways been somewhat ok and only due to SC and all its nutball inhabitants!

I dont post much but been a member since 2003. I used to have a fixed amount sent per month but it ended a while ago. I will of course renew it asap!

Keep up the excelent work and let the crazy continue this evening! :)

It's probably his poor form at Barca. Personally I thought he was class for Valencia, which earned him the move to Barca.
Poor form? He's been fine for Barcelona. He's started about half their games and is typically amongst those subbed on. At 24 he has 41 senior caps for Benfica, 78 for Valencia and 41 for Barca. He's won a shit ton of trophies that he's been a part of (scored the winning goal against PSG in the CL). What is their to complain about? He is young, brings a mold of player in that we don't have, and has a history of success.

Andre Gomes could be a massive signing, watching him at Valencia and Barca there are signs of a Modric/Moussa hybrid. On the flip side he has had non stop unfair stick from Barca fans this year, and it's noticeable how it's impacted his confidence.

Poch could unlock a gem here, but I worry if he doesn't hit the ground running we end up with a Soldado like situation.
