No obligations to go anywhere tomorrow and I’ve conveniently put the car in for its MOT, which it’ll fail,so absolutely no reason to leave the house at all. I’m sticking with the early itk that things should happen so storing my shit close by me but won’t be flinging it until 17.01

Anyone beginning to think the club is feeding us misinformation? We could have sealed a deal for Grealish and didn't. Zaha, Martial and every other footballer under the sun seems to be dead, as far as we are concerned. Meanwhile Kovacic goes to Chelsea!!! Still, if we're lucky, we might still get Grealish by seriously overpaying, and bring in a Norwegian kid, and an even younger kid from Shamrock Rovers.

In other news, West Ham spend £100m. Fulham £72m. Toby could yet go to Man Utd. I pray Eriksen has signed a new contract - with no release clause! - Barca coming in with a massive offer which Levy bites their hand off for after our window has closed would put the tin lid on it. And before anybody says I'm ITK bashing, I most certainly am not. Let's hope the club aren't playing us all, them included. Hoping against hope the morning info about 2 at least still in proves to be well founded.

Have to admit that this worries me too. Can only hope that the announcement is being held back to soften the blow of no signings.

And plenty of time to be at the mercy of the big hawks....

Who are those? Real and Barca? Possibly PSG (with their FFP challenges) and Bayern? All the rest don't have the muscle and out of those they just choose our players out of all the players in the world. Besides they know price will be lot higher due no replacement.

If Barca got Eriksen that would be absolutely criminal by Levy. I would expect every fan to boycott the new stad

It can be dressed up whatever way people like but the bottom line really is that if we don't sign a couple of players that improve us then Levy will have dropped a massive bollock...standing still in the football world is absolutely criminal.....

I love Transfer Deadline day so much i always book the day off from work and i've done it again tomorrow.

I was really excited that we might be busy this time but with an almost complete lack of any sort of ITK tonight with the window closing at only 5pm tomorrow i think i'm going to be very disappointed.

Don't know how you do it, if I was left alone on deadline day with spurs I'd be swinging from the balcony

Ugh. Just fucking ugh...

As per Grey Fox, the new Villa owners insisted Grealish wasn’t sold whilst they were negotiating. We couldn’t have sealed Grealis, even if we’d have wanted to. Zaha has gone nowhere, and we were potentially never in the running (there are any number of reasons why - don’t guess, it’ll end in tears). Martial is not to be discounted.

Kovacic is clearly a sweetener for the Courtois deal, where Chelsea have had to pay double for a replacement which is clearly a downgrade.

New signings don’t come with guarantees (see Llorente, Sissoko, and absolutely shit loads of other players at other clubs including our rivals).

West Ham and Fulham are desperate to stay in the Premier League so are throwing money at it in the off chance it works.

If we don’t sign anyone, it’ll be a shame. An opportunity missed. A fuck up. But it’s not the end of the world. Genuinely, it isn’t. But you’d never guess that from the wrist slitting in here.

The fact that we havent heard from any ITK since 6-7 hours ago with only 20 hours left is very telling IMO. Before some say that Levy could be working on things that aren't known, when has that really happened that we havent heard at least something about it this late?

I think everyone here (probably even the BsoDL) is in shock/denial that nothing has happened or is happening. It really is hard to believe that Levy is doing this but if it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably is a duck. Doing nothin except maybe an overpay for Grealish is the duck we are looking at, as unbelievable as that is.

Here’s a thought: if all the agents are busy, they probably haven’t got time to text all their friends and tell them what so-and-so is up to.

Don’t mind a bit of quiet.

Like, last season?


Any time nothing was happening, I've read ITK at the time saying as much. No news is surely good news imo.

We will all forget this transfer window nonsense on Saturday when we smash Newcastle 5-0, Llorente, Sissoko and N’Koudou doing the business.

I still feel we will get 1 or 2 done tomorrow, not sure why, just hope rather than anything, trying to stay positive!! For once something has to go right for us.
