Lamela was spotted at his hotel yesterday and seemed to be in quite a bit of pain ("in agony" is how it was described to us). Not really ITK but given he didn't play, it doesn't look great for him at the minute.

Gutted for him - and us - if true. Sad times man.

RE: the Lamela ITK - Poch did say in an interview on Spurs TV (which I of course am not going to link) that his injury is only minor.

That's good, his last minor injury he was only out for most of a season!!

I really hope that's true as Lamela when fit is an excellent player. Hopefully it's not cover to prevent price gouging when/if we enter the market.

oh great even more for the panicers to panic about

he looked good the other night, really hope it's nothing serious.

It's clearly a ploy between Poch and Lamela to make Levy get a move on in the window. As soon as we strengthen our attack he will miraculously recover.

Even Dr Positive over here is starting to get a little twitchy

 

[nailsy]

He was sitting on the bench this morning and seemed okay. Time will tell I guess.

I guess we can rule out piles then.

 

[SonicSarr]

A fit and motivated Lamela was as good as any signing we are likely/capable of making. Gutted if it's bad.

Doesn't look like Grealish is on the cards now, as per JJ in the Grealish thread

 

[Chinaspur]

before I fire into the little runt

This explains a lot.

 

[George94]

JJ and Herc in the Grealish thread seem to indicate that deal is plunging off a cliff and Gards saying Zaha isn't happening...

...11 days...

He's not said it's off just that the new owners are digging the heels in. Will see if it was an opportunist signing or something more.

If I was a betting man I'd say it's all going down to deadline day. All of our targets.

[Ruffinthepuffin]

I agree that we should in all fairness wait until the window closes before judging it but with 11 days to go it really is becoming squeaky bum time, it really is starting to feel it's going to be shit or bust and i'm nervous as hell.

Thanks for all the ITK lads and keep it coming.

 

[Fidget]

my thoughts are with the family ?

 

[BedfordshireSpud]

From Herc’s post late last night it sounds like things are building and given Poch’s post match comments it could be an interesting few days! Hope so anyway!

Sorry everybody, I have been away for a couple of days and I'm just catching up. As instructed, I have buckled up - I am ready!

 

[klacey]

This is like the worst roller coaster ride I've ever been on, so many ups and downs its making me sick. lol
I really feel for the ITK's sharing what they know, when its changing on a daily basis, you guys must be as frustrated as the rest of us. Can't wait till this window slam shuts.

Starting to look that way, very exciting with huge potential but incredibly high risk at the same time.

If Zaha goes to Chelsea, Grealish stays at Villa and United price us out of Martial, as per the latest ITK, I see no way of getting Poch his promised 3 big signings. I will be amazed if he doesn't walk. And I wouldn't blame him.
