How you know there not.
Because he's still at Lyon so this mythical team that would ride in on a white horse, instantly pay the asking price, and ride off with him hasn't happened yet...

If you can't take some joy from the club pursuing top targets, being confident enough in themselves to let it be known publically rather than denying it as usual, and accept that all that work may still up in being for not because shit happens you'll never find peace in the transfer market.

They might have but surely that means we have the sane chance as everyone else? The player/club/agents will assess all deals on the table when they are sure no one else is coming in. It’s not in their best interest to close the deal with us if they think Madrid, Juve, Man City are serious in signing him. We have no control over how long the deal takes in this instance.

Is there a reason we have one fucking hall monitor going round and only spamming certain posters posts?

Take the fucking day off.

How tiresome. I jump on here to see if there's been any news and all I end up doing is wade through page after page of schoolgirls sniping. And it's all over 88 pages of pure conjecture. Except for possibly some ITKs feeding back their info.

I agree how droll, thankfully your post really upped the ante.

Listen you FUCK, there's only so many posts this forum can handle and we need each and every post to be of MAXIMUM quality. What if somebody needs to tell us they don't think we can afford Bales wages again and we don't have the capacity, WHAT THEN?
I thought there was some kind of coded message in here with the caps, so I cracked out the old decrypter.

All I could come up with was:

“WHAT THEN? MAXIMUM FUCK!”

The SC transfer forum is rather like the trailers at the movies.

The actual movie you've paid to watch will start, predictably around 20min after the announced start time (i.e. close to transfer deadline day). There's an uncertain wait until the movie actually starts.

Your options are thus:
- plan your journey so you arrive just as the movie starts. [That's a bit like just ignoring news on the interweb and just waiting until something official is announced.]
- go out from the screen and spend the time buying popcorn/nachos/XL fizzy drink, only returning just before the movie actually starts. [That's a bit like only checking into official news outlets like Skysports or the BBC Sports website for more concrete news.]
- get there 10min before trailers start. Buy your popcorn, nachos, sugar-free fizzy beverage and even sneak a Big Mac under your t-shirt into the hall. Then get comfy as the trailers start. Some may involve Adam Sandler movies, some the new Marvel franchise or even the latest Toy Story episode until the movie actually starts. [That is like logging onto SC (or similar) forums regularly to fill the time until the actual movie starts.]

Either way, the truth is that all the chat, conjecture, ITK and opinion is really a "fill-the-gap" method our brains utilise because human nature in today's world of swiping, tapping and insta-everything just can't wait for things to happen anymore.

But the most important part of this, is it's up to you. SC cannot help Tanguy Ndombele hitch a ride to Seven Sisters, nor can it make Levy suck off Aulas, nor can it actually change anything happening. You choose to visit in the hope of learning something about the inevitable. So I suggest you enjoy the ride.

There seems to be a minority of posters who forget that if they want the ITK with no discussion then the ITK discussion thread isn’t the best place to go, and they’d be better off just reading the posted ITK in the ITK forum.

I hope Ndombele looks at us with the best stadium, training facilities, great manager and a good future and comes along. I have no doubt we are doing everything to get him.

If I was to predict I think we will get Lo Celso but Ndombele will go elsewhere with the likes of Real or City nabbing him at the death. I hope otherwise he would be a dream signing.

If one of the criteria that he is looking at is who the current mgr is at the interested buying club , then I think we have the advantage as I think that Poch will still be with us long after Pep has left City.

It’s probably because it’s been a slow TW so far.

Once it’s been confirmed that (at least) one of the big names have signed with us, the wheels will start rolling, the guitars will start playing and the party will start rocking.

As long as it isn’t this type of party
