Looks to me like we are taking into account prices of signing before the world cup rather than after, lovely stuff

Wording (obviously never Herc's strong suit!) leads me to believe it's a Sessegnon purchase (announced this window) with loan back (so we'd hear about the deal through the summer).

Stadium sponsor and the Sessegnon brothers from Fulham is my guess. Stadium sponsor for the summer and a buy and loan back announcement in the coming weeks for the brothers?

Would hope for a bit more than that. Everything Herc has alluded to seems to be pointing to a stellar transfer of some sort. Does Sess really warrant that hype? It would be great but hardly news if he joined us in the summer.

For the gravitas involved in the build up to the ITK I'd be expecting Goretska and Martial or similar.

Great sponsorship wouldn't give me butterflies.

'Through to summer.'

Makes me think we've maybe, possibly done alot of our total transfer business & its to be completed officially in July. Bit like Luka modric back in the day.

And this stuff may slowly come to light as the season plays out .

Either that or the more underwhelming stadium stuff and found a buyer for sissoko which I guess would be Christmas Two for many

I would suggest you read the ITK thread rules. If you break them you get banned from the thread.

Giving you friendly advice to make sure you post ITK related posts in the thread or you'll lose access.

Not looking for an argument, just trying to help.

it was just a reference from the office!

Stadium naming rights not being completely awful would be good! Findus Crispy Pancake Arena or Energizer Bunny Dome would be difficult to look at.

As for talk of contracts, I know Alderweireld is perpetually 'in talks' but didn't Kane say on Sunday that he'd not been discussing a new deal? No-one else is due a renewal that I'm aware of.

Always pleased to see happy ITK, of course, but I'm sceptical that we've got a flurry of summer deals lined up - albeit that Pochettino has said it's the best way to do things for us...

Gah, I'm talking myself into believing now!

I think you are near on the money. At this point i am indifferent on Sissoko and while I am not a fan I think the sell him at any cost ffs crowd need some downers.

The stadium sponsor is coming at some point, we all know it ia inevitible but more money for that the better. Hopefully the club learned from the last window not to announce that during the transfer window because fans go a bit rabid for any player, even if this money is probably long term and short term more important to the club's stability than any player.

I would like a buy and loan for Sess and any other major deals lined up so they can go through from the off (like Wanyama). If we're not working for the summer already I would be a bit embarassed tbh. From the few people I know who are in player scouting, they're tagging players years in advance of potential moves in lots of cases.

I was wondering why we couldn't sign the Sessegnons now and loan them back until the summer so i'm hoping it's that. Will save me a summer heart attack when Rose is probably sold and it's deadline day with no replacement in sight.

Based on what he’s said before about summer buy out clauses in Zaha and Puisics contracts they’d be the ones doable now if the player signs a binding commitment as it takes the club piece out of the issue. Sessegnons, Pulisic, De Jong and a pacy Kane cover and we’re laughing as we move into the new stadium.

Also he always seemed confident that Sancho would return this summer so throw him and say Richardson in too and we’d push for everything next year...at not much more cost to us than sellling Rose/Tony, Dembelle, Lamela, Janssen, trippier And Vorm would bring in. Very doable if Levy wants to ‘win things’...hopefully Kane pressure+Stadium will force us to finally go foot to floor after 20 years on the job

Herc = keep dreaming :eek:
Ghost = welcome Dybala :D

You know, In true spurs fashion Ghost just can't leave a window felling anything other then a little disappointed so figured he would go big. And yes, Ghost is referring to himself in the third person.... He's finally cracked woop :alien:

Thanks Herc, sure it will be worth it ;)
