a bit more from ali z on eriksen: Not about money am told will sign a new deal if he can't get "dream" move.

I personally believe that to be fair enough. The club failed to show enough ambition in the summer for most of the fans and Im sure the players felt the same.

Hopefully we have some real success this season and win something along with CL football for next season. If Barcas interest isnt firmed up that maybe enough for him to commit.

IMO he's doing the right thing. I just hope he's not frozen out by Poch.

*checks to see if the Eriksen thread has been locked

It isn't.

So why are we seeing wishlisting and all that in here? Think you're getting some early freebies?

I liken A&C’s responses to when the family dog, Monty (or Montz if we’re walking through the local council estate where proletariats manifest), harasses the cat.

First effort, the cat hisses ( as per the response above).
Second effort, she raises her paw, extends her claws and cuffs him around his ears.
Third effort, she attaches herself to him and sinks her teeth into his testicles.

Usually, once he’s shaken her off, he backs away and leaves her alone for a few days. But being a fuckskull, he quickly forgets and the process starts again, playing itself out in a cycle of gonad puncturing. That’s the transfer window and A&C, right there

Shuts down so that it doesn't distract from the daily discussion thread!
Unfortunately we have nothing to talk about and nowhere to dream about what we want

No ITK at all really. Not surprising I suppose given (I) fixtures (ii) distraction, both time and financial, of stadium and (iii) situation with Poch

Waiting for JJ to confirm we’re close to Ndombele...

JJ on whether we will sign anyone

“Looking at some however that’s no guarantee that we will get any”

On DL not showing any ambition

“Err got nothing to do with DL - it’s up to the players - like De Jong in summer didn’t happen not because of us”

Interesting from JJ, he wouldn’t say we were trying if we weren’t. Also interesting about the ‘up to the player’ part, it suggests, contrary to popular belief, that we are after highly coveted players rather bargain basement.

I think the basements were second choices that Poch knocked back. Either way, it would be good to pick up a number one target for central midfield. But Poch’s work with Sissy has been nothing short of miraculous so there’s less pressure recruiting in this department than before

Eriksen new deal and MAYBE even Toby and I think it's a good window. Can't see any incomings, but as JJ says, I'm sure we're trying. Shame we couldn't get de Jong

I'm glad JJ has said that we're looking, just hope we're not looking in Harrods but can only afford Tesco!

In all seriousness, I hope there is a strategy. It would make sense to look at out of contract players in summer (Rabiot etc), players at big clubs not getting game time (Isco etc), big clubs which are struggling (Monaco) etc. I appreciate the examples given (Rabiot, Isco) might/are out of reach but no harm in trying if not already done so.

A quality addition or two could really help drive us forward to a title challenge. New Eriksen and Toby contract would be good as well.
