So I'm assuming like most others that the last part of Gards' info related to swapping Rose for Martial, but I'm really struggling to see Martial as "massive". I certainly wouldn't want to lose Rose for him unless those other deals linked to this meant we acquired a proper left-sided WB who is 1st team ready now.

Loving the positive ITK. Just waiting for @yankspurs to pop in and say how it is disgraceful we're only potentially signing Gazzaniga, Sanchez, Foyth, Aurier, Sessegnon, Barkley and Sancho.

Did I read somewhere that Sessegnon and Sancho are best mates? This sort of thing may well have a big influence. These two lads and Edwards coming through would be very exciting.

I do wonder what effect doing deals so late in the window has on the fees. Isn't it likely that the selling club will hold out for more, provided they don't want to sell?

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
Thanks mate :)

Sounds exciting. Too bloody exciting. Unbelievably so, and I promise you I'm not having a go!

That would be brilliant. Just look at how great it is having Eric and Dele as best mates. You play for your mates, you stick up for them and you win together. COYS ! :)

Martial would be an immense signing, but at the expense of Rose?

Had we not sold Walker, maybe. But losing the best two full backs in the league after finishing 2nd just doesn't sit or feel right at all.

And another relevant factor worth considering, is that we coped well without Rose but Walker was in the side. Would we have finished 2nd without both in that period, I'm not sure.

From a talent as well as investment standpoint, swapping Rose for Martial (assuming that is what would happen via Gyid's info) would be better for us. Rose at 27 is probably at or close to his peak whereas Martial at 21/22 has probably similar potential to Dele and Kane. You could sell him in a few seasons for potentially double the 60 mil you'd get for Rose right now.

Of course in the present is Davies good enough for us to still win is the question?

If Rose were to be part of any deal deal then in my mind it's no big loss. It's feels kind of obvious his head and heart are elsewhere, and he's no good to us like that imo.

Barkley is absolutely key for us this TW I believe. His ability to run at speed and go past players is something we sorely lack as was evident against Chelsea at the weekend.

Some great updates, thanks guys. The loss to Chelsea could end up being a blessing in disguise if it turned out to be a call to action.

Can't discount Tippier's involvement post January and whilst Rose is arguably superior to Davies, the fact remains our title bid was not derailed because of Rose's absence/Davies' prolonged involvement.

Gaining Martial gives our attack another dimension - one we don't have currently whilst we can nurture a prodigious talent in Sessegnon.

Our team overall will be better if what has been alluded to with potential incomings comes to fruition.

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,
Only 1 as far as I'm aware. (Gazzaniga)

My thoughts also, I'm so pleased the window closes in 10 days! Enjoying the updates from Hercules, Trix & Gards but I can't handle all the positivity...very un-Spurs like :unsure:
