The last part of the ITK sounds interesting. It sounds like it could be an older player with little resale value.

New ITK very positive. Based on previous ITK I'm less surprised about JS than Gards bc JS is friends with RS. If RS is now coming to us JS may want to also. The last part of "massive" but at a "loss" based on previous ITK reads for me as Rose for Martial (I'm not saying the deal itself will be sepcfically a player swap).

RS stayed at Fulham for playing time. Rose went to the Sun, Graham saying yesterday that Rose is going to leave, all of a sudden ITK says RS is back on. Why? Because if Rose is gone, he'll now get minutes.

That's my theory.

I do not know if our Daniel always knew, or if he plays poker. If he does I would not want to play him. Seems he is winning on targets we thought we lost out on. Lemar is a no-go, so no dreamers.

I do not believe we will be disappointed. Poch expected 4 including GK, but that has increased. Fees all but agreed on most, and medical/s completed long while ago on 2. I will put my nad on the line that Ross will be our player (that part opinion) and not the chavs.

Cannot believe I am saying this. BSoDL brigade I can hear yah,

After yesterday's loss and the silence of itk this morning I was worried we were set for another long wait for deals but your post is giving me some hope we may see a roll on quality deals soon. Fingers crossed!

There is a deal that could happen which is a long shot, this deal would depend on multiple others happening but would be massive for us but will also come at a loss

This is def Martial.
It depends on ManU getting Perisic, and we may have to lose Rose

If Sancho is coming, maybe goodbye Nkoudou? or at least a loan.
I don't see him getting game time if that move happens

Positive ITK. If it is Rose, we need a ready made replacement. Sessegnon is great for the future and ITK have said he will be brought in to play further forward. So need 1 other. Just cant see that much activity in 10 days.

Thanks for the positive ITK.

I guess this is where we all start collectively crossing our fingers!

Exciting to hear, but I don't buy the fact we'll trade Rose for Martial. No way we'd leave ourselves so short at LB. We've seen from the ITK we're looking to add a RB to go back to two senior options. They're critical to how we play. If we don't trust KWP as a serious rotation option at RB yet, I can't see how we'd trust Sessegnon to do the same at LB, yes he has played a season of Championship football and is very highly rated, but was that not mainly at LW rather than LB. LB in or system is a huge tactical and physical demand. If we are letting Rose go to United, we're also getting Shaw in the deal I reckon, even if we have to throw in some cash, hence a loss at out end.

As for Sancho, interesting to hear, thought he was nailed on for the scum. We must be a very attractive proposition. Maybe there's some mileage in us having Edwards here already and also possibly Sessegnon, aren't they the same age group?

Sounds like Barkley, Sessegnon?, Aurier?, Foyth?, Sancho? and Gazzaniga? Plus whatever this long shot deal may be. Fair play to Levy, played the long game this summer, but appears to be backing his man in Poch.

The right signings this summer are crucial, we want to arrive at our new stadium next summer in the best shape possible. Maybe hence the extra investment lining up players with huge potential, buying with an eye on the longer term.

To be honest I'd be prepared to lose rose if it meant

Sessegon
Barkley
Aurier
Martial
Sancho

All coming in as previous itk has suggested would to be honest his injury record is not great, it's great to see all this positive news on transfers for once great to see the excitement on here :)

Daniel brings in Mahrez and/or Balde and I'll think about joining Hercules in the bsodl brigade. He brings both, better chance. I prefer neither and isco instead of both though. Now that would be a real game changer for us

You know something. I just can't see this happening. I'm not normally pessimistic but this has got as much chance happening in its entirety as I've got of finding the holy grail.

For this season we need to bring in Aurier and Barkley for the first team squad. Sessegnon and Sancho would be a fantastic bonus. Can't see Martial happening and wouldn't want to give up Rose yet. Maybe next summer when RS has had a year with us.
