Some slightly contrasting ITK, I really hope Hercules/Gard's is most accurate, but ali-z's sounds slightly more realistic.

Having said that, JJ did comment on RS and aurier a few days ago, which aren't mentioned in Ali-Z post, plus JJ has said for a while about a fast attacking player (unless that is RS)? Maybe we're going for keita/martial, and if they both fail, we stump up the cash for RS?

Okay lads, I'm going to rub your hypothetical G-spots here: why do people hate Harry Hotspur so much? I haven't really seen much of his work/blogs from his mother's basement

In all honesty I'd never heard of Foyth, Gazzaniga or Sancho before this transfer window opened.

I'd heard of Gazzaniga, but only for being "that shit Southampton 3rd keeper".

It was more a case of Aurier, Barkley and Sanchez adding depth and if the young'uns are as highly regarded as they seem to be then everyting irie

Although we could potentially sign 6 or 7 players it isn't like they're all first teamers. We're including what I would imagine are separate targets in the case of our development squad. Of all the players we're being linked with none of those players mentioned by Ali Z are necessarily going to be in the first team squad. Only Barkley of the 3 is sure of that.

The other 2 that he mentions must be more for the first team since Sancho and Sessegnon are mentioned separately. There's too much talk about Aurier to not be one of them surely. I would think the 2nd is a wide attacker.

That makes up to 4 first team signings, 2 are replacements for Walker and Wimmer which I would consider improvements. The others (Barkley & ANother) possibly a replacement for Sissoko and one other.

I'm sure Sancho and Sessegnon have the possibility of doing an Alli but we shouldn't expect that. Add to that a 3rd choice keeper and young centre back from abroad who will need time to settle. Those 3 (keeper aside) are more for the future though and shouldn't have too much pressure on them.

Suggest not the place for it for your own good!. Let's leave that *%#^ out of here, almost thought we had made it through a window with no mention of him

Wild speculation will only lead to A&C bringing out the ban stick and going to town, which he may already do with how often we've veered off topic.

I think it is entirely possible for all the itk to be mostly right if you assume a level of caution vs excitement from their sources.

I think JJ's silence says about as much as anything. Either things he's already commented on haven't changed or they're at a state where he doesn't risk another KBD.

Has anyone done a google joke yet? :cautious:

Because that stopped being funny the day after the Rose interview broke.

Anyway, it's great that we've had a flood of information in the last few days. It's hard not to get excited about it all. Would be great if we could get Aurier, Barkley, and Sessegnon done before the end of the window. Sancho seems like one for the future, and while I won't expect results overnight from him, he will be one hell of a coup.

Apologies if I've missed it as I've been in and out of the thread all summer, but have we had ITK that Rose is actively trying to leave?

Early Goat ITK said he'd do another year, Hertyid said Poch and the squad were pissed after his interview, and GreyFox said he'd have more information after the window closes. That's all I found in the RO.

In here however, the mood seems to be that he's gone and I'm not sure if that's due to non RO ITK that I missed or the boys here being Muppets (though I have my suspicions).

Frankly I doubt Levy would get the premium he'd demand for Rose given his long injury layoff. Seems like it'd be a selling low moment which would be out of character for us.

If one of them is holding out for a better offer and/or the other wants a clause (release fee?) then surely shouldn't we be running in the opposite direction and as quickly as possible? It's sounds like having a crush on a girl, said girl knows you like her, then watching her kiss someone in front of you only for the guy to palm her off and then having her turn around and saying she likes you.... unless you're desperate you'd tell her where to go.

You sound like you are talking from bitter experience... What did the guy do? Was he desperate?

Search engine chat and "if you knew them" isn't really appropriate lads.

Please.

ali z: We certainly will be busy i expect Barkley, Gazzinga and Foyth will be ours plus maybe 2 more but a lot of ifs and buts i players moving on other club getting targets, hard to get names but am trying, not heard anything about JS and sessengon still told next year.
Just to add to this because I haven't seen it posted here yet, Ali_z said afterwards;

(This is about his Ryan Sessengnon info)

let's hope my info is wrong but he will only go anywhere for first team football

Which explains why he didn't come earlier in the window but maybe things have changed following Danny Rose's outburst?

Edit: make your mind up @Ben1 are you ITK or not? :p
