Won’t say who they are, but shared names privately. 2 deals (not RB-in bag that one subject too injuries etc) are wrapped up. One from UK (well under 20 yrs old-playing first team football for 2nd year), and one under 20 from Holland. Not sure if this window, or summer.

Mmmmmmm...One must be Sess......me likey!

Sounds like Sessegnon and the Dutch winger from PSV, Steven Bergwijn.

Sessegnon is pretty obvious. Kluivert would fit the bill too. We love Ajax players and we’ve been looking for a player just like him for roughly the last 4,673 windows.

I rate Kluivert highly.

Lets hope Spurs do too!

How good is Sess? I don't watch Fulham, and I won't watch YouTube highlights of our targets until they're in the bag.

That rules Sancho out then...... :devil:

Good to hear we are acting early.

Sancho is s political one. His move to Germany was political. Does he want to come back? Think he does. Will he-us? Political.

More likely Kluivert i would think as Bergwijn is already 20.

Will be an interesting one to watch, what with Dortmund's drastic form.

Would love him a Pulisic as a double deal. An unlikely dream but it would be awesome.

But, but...it can't be Kluivert, doesn't he predominantly start Left side for Ajax?.

Bales coming back to play here isn't he?. (y)

We can name 17 non-homegrown in our squad for the league. We have 16 currently named by my reckoning with 1 of them, Janssen out on loan.

Alderweireld
Aurier
Dembele
Dier
Eriksen
Gazzaniga
Son
Janssen
Lamela
Llorente
Lloris
Nkoudou
Sissoko
Vertonghen
Vorm
Wanyama

Champions League registration can be amended before the knockout stage.

tiger666 said:
Davies should count for the Champions League as Swansea come under the English FA.

Davies doesn't count because Swansea was registered with the Welsh FA at the time he started with them, only later switching to affiliate with the English one. Sanchez and Foyth also have to be registered because you can only play as an U21 without being registered if you've been with the club for two years. So we have 19 senior foreign players against a maximum of 17 for the UCL, with Janssen out on loan - meaning somebody will have to be either sold in January or left out of the squad for the knockouts.

If everyone stays then my guess is that Gazzaniga will be left out. That's because there's a clause saying that if you have only two registered goalkeepers and both are injured or suspended, you're allowed to play an unregistered keeper. So the only disadvantage from leaving him out is that he couldn't sit on the bench if one out of Vorm and Lloris was unavailable, so not taking a massive risk. If not then it's surely got to be N'Koudou.

Well I think the UK one is obviously Sessegnon.

With regards to the U20 from Holland, we've been linked with Kluivert (with VI saying we were in advanced negotiations last summer but both parties agreed a deal was too early), Donny van de Beek (http://www.skysports.com/football/n...players-justin-kluivert-and-donny-van-de-beek) and Steven Bergwijn (https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/5095216/tottenham-torino-psv-eindhoven-steven-bergwijn/)

van de Beek is a CM so with Barkley also in the bag I doubt it would be him. Given our relationship with Ajax and the recent stories from Holland, I'd guess it is Kluivert.

Personally I think we need a bigger pool of players who play every game so Kane, Eriksen, Alli etc are not playing 90 mins

tiger666 said:
Where are these figures coming from? Also, we can't sign a pre contract with Barkley in January.

Is it only foreign clubs that can do the pre contract?

Figures are quoted in the press and likely what they would be allowed to leave for before haggling which we would obviously do..

Only non domestic clubs can approach him in January. Clubs from the same nation have to wait until around a month before his contract expires. You're also dreaming if you think Leicester would let Mahrez go in Jan for £35m.

Kluivert is miles away from PL level at the moment. People look at his hat-trick, he’s done virtually nothing else all season.

I don't know much about him and you may very well be right but he's very highly rated and we've been quite heavily linked with him and he's under 20. He just fitted the profile Hercules mentioned where as Bergwijn is already 20, that was all really.

He maybe one we're buying for the future ?

Don’t take this as a hint! You are so wrong! Guy is class. Just like I hailed Sánchez, knocked VJ. All before they signed, I will hail this kid also.
