Thanks for the update JJ, shame they are going elsewhere, could have been rekindled in the summer.

With Herc saying last night we wanted two this window followed by JJ saying (the big) one has gone the way of the dodo and LM coming along but slowly that both ITK’s were talking about the same player. JJ didn’t mention anything about a third player although that doesn’t mean there isn’t one. Time will tell. Still, most exciting Jan we have had in a while, I’m sure there will be more twists to come!
He never said slowly

Why the passive depression peeps?:barefoot:
Don’t think the ‘under the radar’ was German.
We are trying very hard to confirm 2 deals for now, but whilst all positive, until it is done, we have to grip our bums. 1 of 2 deals always earmarked for the summer is positive.

There is a dream signing from Germany, which is not a certainty, but certainly possible, and would excite for summer however.

Sit tight with toilet paper nearby:poop::barefoot:

JJ seems relatively unenthusiastic, I feel like LM going ok means that there's still a long way to go yet :(
I'm not so sure there's a long way to go, this move is by way of a reboot for Lucas Moura's career, if other bigger clubs came in and offered loadamoney he obviously didn't grab and if they didn't and he wanted the money he'd presumably be staying at PSG.
I'm not trying to make a case for us I just genuinely think that's where he is in his career, I have no doubt that if it takes off at Spurs he'd not be averse to listening to big offers a couple of years down the line but he's not at that point right now and his agent, not my favourite man, is no mug and will always be angling to raise his value.
We really are a bit of a Godsend for him.

Would that be our own bums Herc'?

Shame we missed out on the big one but it's easy to forget we went into this transfer window with little to no expectation of making any signings.

Lucas Moura would be a real bonus all things considering. Not often you pick up a player of his quality and experience on a cut price deal in January.

So, does that imply the big name player JJ feels we have missed out on, is not one of the two Herc believes we are still hopeful of getting?
Sounds like a lot of work is going on in the background to get out summer business tied up between now and the end of the season, to avoid another late window scramble, and give Poch a proper preseason with all players.

Ok I’m officially confused.

More than usual, I mean.
Mate, you and me both.

I’m certain Herc is talking about Moura and Malcom but I can’t figure out if Malcom is the second of the two we are trying to sort out now, and when he says now does he mean it more in a financial sense rather then moving now sense. Malcom obviously won’t come till summer so are we trying to bring in another now.. is that what he’s saying?

The ITK sounds good..
I’m going with the ‘players are coming’ attitude.
No doubt we’re always trying to move forward; if things fall through, then they do.
