That's all hyperbole. Besides, it's 2.30AM here, I doubt there are any new developments at this hour. :)

We'll see what happens soon enough. Less than 24 hours left of the transfer window!

Eh...no...well...not quite....we don't really know!

Have a look at the RO none of them are dead in the water but none home and dry. It's looking like it could be very special Levy Day tomorrow or a a royal cluster fuck of epic proportions. Its going to be emotional!

Corluka - Naughton
King - Verts
Modric - Dembele
Kranjkar - Siggy
Pienaar - Townsend
Pav/Saha - No one

Who honestly believes we have improved on last year, let alone try and keep up with Chelsea, etc?
My thoughts:
Naughton for Corluka should be a wash. Both can cover in multiple positions and I expect Naughton will probably play as much as Corluka did as Walker is clear cut first choice and therefore Naughton is only going to get a start in cup games.

Vertonghen will be an upgrade on King as he won't be injured as much. Also Caulker will be an upgrade on Ryan Nelson too.

Dembele is a downgrade on Modric but will be a very good buy for spurs regardless.

Siguardsson for Kranjcar should be an upgrade too. Kranjcar was a good squad player but also missed a lot through injury plus Siguardsson had great form for Swansea. His output should be better than Kranjcar.

Pienaar for Townsend is neither an upgrade or downgrade imo because Pienaar didn't play. Obviously Pienaar is a better player but given we didn't utilise his talents then we don't lose anything with his departure.

Pav/Saha. I agree this will be a downgrade if we don't get another striker.

dembele can replace modric no problems. save 25m and get loris and remy for me.


I think people are underestimating the ability of dembele .. Not saying that he is a modric replacement coz he is not.

However the guy will be absolutley essential to us just as modric was.

Just landed back in UK from Turkey.
Was hoping for some good news on Moutinho and Lloris.
Oh well. Bring on final day craziness AGAIN

Heskey anyone?

Fellas, just back from the bars here in the States. I'm not feeling too good about tomorrow. Think the only one really possible is Lloris. Moutinho is a pipe dream, Porto don't need to sell and will only accept silly money.

I think we are going to break our transfer record today (maybe twice). Just a gut feeling, but a number of respected ITK's, whilst not giving much away or really even know what is going to happen today, seem very positive and confident about Levy. DL deadline day special springs to mind.

Yep. If he was prepared to do that on deadline day in January - if rumours of him flying around Spain with £40m in his suitcase are to be believed - then I think there is every chance today. A nearly there squad, a shiny new manager. It could be an epic day/night/early morning/ lunchtime saturday / january.........

Wtf happened tonight, when I went to sleep Lloris seemed to be all but official, and today the deal seems to be off. What´s up with that?

Well, it´s going to be an exiting day. I have a slight "make or break" day feeling about it... It sucks that I am at a meeting all day, but I will bring the iPad with me! (y)

Well, this RAWK quote from Redcafe should make everyone feel better:

What. The. Fuck.

Seriously. We spend £35 fucking million pound on a striker 18 months ago and loan him out to fucking West Ham? Beggars belief. No wonder we're in the mess we are. It's a shambles all round. We've got one recognised striker in Suarez. If we don't bring in at least two players tomorrow, we are fucked for the rest of the season. What if Suarez gets injured or suspended? We'll have a front line of Sterling, Morgan and Borini? And you expect us to make strides this season? Fuck off. We've been shafted yet again. When will we ever learn. Even if we gt Clint Dempsey in tomorrow, do fucking what. He won't solve our problems.

Seriously, seriously concerned about how we go about our business. It's all well and good retaining possession and having fancy systems and formations, but ultimately if we have ONE recognised striker in our squad, we're done. Fuck off to all concerned.
