Could Gards ITK that the final signing may come at a loss be a financial loss & not a player loss. Could it be finally a POSITIVE net spend?
No

What was positive about Sissoko? I am only joking but just can't see letting Rose leaveLike last seasons you mean?
There's no coming back for Rose with Poch now though, Pinx. You don't cross him like that and get away with it. He's toast one way or another - now, jan, next summer. Certain to be one of them.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.
Not if they are all in advanced stage, which I'm pretty sure is what was alluded to.Yea, sounds a tad optimistic
That has Rose swap deal written all over it, he would be a big loss.
Wasn't in house
Maybe it's Dier & not Rose who might be involved in a Martial swap .......... Just a thought?
Unless the dummy spitting interview saying we needed players to compete was what opened the floodgates the ITK is alluding to... I can see Poch being OK with that!There's no coming back for Rose with Poch now though, Pinx. You don't cross him like that and get away with it.

Can't see Rose going in this window, unless a ridiculous offer comes in for him. It would have to well exceed KW. So cannot see it. Next season a different story.
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.
Not itk bashing here but 7 signings in less than 2 weeks (Barkley, foyth, aurier, Sancho, sess, gazza, martial) is surely a tough ask
Props to Danny boy if he gets it done
It could be that we would need to sell an important player in order to raise the funds needed to bring in whoever this unlikely player is, just not in a swap deal.It's obvious. We buy Bale back, but at more than we sold him for, hence the loss.
In all seriousness, if Rose isn't going and if it's as difficult to do big swap deals as Trix says (which is what Martial for Rose or Dier would be)...I really have no idea what that last sentence is about.
