It's hard enough imagining an out of nowhere signing on a normal deadline day but with this window ending at 5pm I'd say it's an impossibility for us. If no new player starts getting strongly linked today or by end of tomorrow I think you can rule them out. At the minute only Grealish and Martial as part of swap deal is even worth mentioning, hopefully that changes in next 36 hours.

and he's gonna sell some players as well. Its officially Levy time.

I'll happily eat my words if he pulls off what he is attempting to do but can we retire "Levy time" when he doesn't pull this off.

Playing alright against Chelsea tonight. Just surprised RLC with his strength/determination on the ball. Actually Lyon's whole midfield is superior to Chelsea's but that include Drinkwater, Bakayoko, and RLC. So not as much a complement as just stating fact.

Thought that at times in the first half, he was dominant in the midfield, which is saying something given that Chelsea played with three CMs. He has dribbling ability reminiscent of the master, Dembele, at times, but he really impressed me with his ability to turn and distribute the ball quickly in midfield. I've previously posted that he made some glaring errors passing last season and gave the ball away at times in a bad way, but his passing was really strong today. More importantly, he is just very quick at turning, moving and distributing the ball upfield. He's got some real pace about him running with the ball too. Everything about him just seems a step faster than players around him in midfield. That's something that cannot be coached. Would be really keen to see what Poch could get out of his raw talent and physical characteristics. I don't know...I would be really excited about him I think. Even if all the other fans make endless N'Bullcrap jokes.

I said back in June that he would be a great signing at £50m and there was a bit of wtf. He still would be but I don’t think a deal can be done with Aulas.

Can't help but wonder if the talk of Dembele leaving for another premier league team could spur us into action in meeting the release clause for N'Dombele.

The fact that Dan KP name dropped him in his article suggests there is an interest there still.

Does he have a release clause? I'm pretty sure I haven't made that up.
