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 :)
So who plays left wing back? We have been set up for pace from the wide areas and then end up with tripps and Davies.

With Foyth reportedly incoming but going into the development squad I wonder which squad JS would be put into? Is he on the cusp of the 1st team ala Alli when he 1st signed or a prospect ala Foyth?

Martials fee must be high as Trix alluded to something in the respective thread. Sounds very optimistic. Levy backing Pochettino, hopefully he does with at least a few of these, exciting times. I bet if Martial is fee maybe they want it to cover their replacement. Be a great signing

Hercules already stated in his thread he ain't coming to play for U23's

Foyth is not going to come for the development squad.

Does the increase on the 4 Poch wanted refer to the 1st team squad or also the development squad? Quickly losing track of which positions we want to bolster.

Unless we're gonna buy a pacey first choice LB who is ready to start now (not Sessegnon) losing Rose would be unacceptable to me. We'd also be strengthening the possible favourites to win the league at the same time. I really rate Martial but not to the extent of losing both the best RB and LB in the league in one window and ending up with Davies as first choice LB.

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,
This has to be one of your best post, thank you for all the effort you put in, in keeping us nuts all informed. Appreciate it mate

Can someone post the full Gards news as I can't seem to read it.

Sorry to ask!

Thank you

Quick update:
It is now looking positive for the targets we are after, the only thing outstanding at this moment is fees. Now you can moan about DL but the difference for as little as 3-5m is massive for the club at the moment and in general.
JS [Jadon Sancho] I'm told may well now joint us by as close as Wednesday which is a surprise as I thought he was heading to Arsenal.
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

If the availability of minutes losing Rose would provide gets us Sessegnon now, then I could live with Davies first choice, as long as we have 1 proper rwb in Aurier to balance it out

That has Rose swap deal written all over it, he would be a big loss.

JS didn't want to stay at City because he didn't think he would get any chances in the first team. Only way we get him is by selling him on his first team roll.

'Fees all but agreed'
Wonder how close they are, how big an issue remains?

I'm hoping Hercules's post covers Sessegnon too.

Agree, selling Rose, who is entering his prime and replacing him with Sessegnon who, although clearly has bags of potential, is nowhere near Rose ATM, makes no sense for a team trying to win the PL and challenge in Europe.
