Players aren't paid for all upfront though are they.
Exactly. These are transfers between big football clubs, not drug deals where the money is paid up front in briefcases, neither are they ransoms whereby the money is paid and the player released from chains.

Wrt JJ saying someone was talking shit about Poch being frustrated feeling like he isnt being backed, Hercules illuded to this a few days ago. So perhaps the feeling from the club and the manager are vastly different. I wouldnt be surprised if Poch was frustrated. He wants 4 more players and there is 1.5 days left in the window thanks to Levy pissing about for the umpteenth transfer window.. We'll be lucky to get 2 over the line in that time and they are all going to be defenders. Do we realy think Poch wouldnt be frustrated? If I were Poch and i identified these needs at the beginning of the window, i'd be absolutely infuriated. It's natural.

On holiday in France so will keep my eyes open for any French ITK lol.

I posted a while ago about some info I had re Alfie Mawson which seems to have gone nowhere so I guess Foyth is done as he would replace Wimmer and be Poch's pet project.

Aurier in my opinion is done, and will be presented with Foyth later today to create some good will ready for tomorrow.

Barkley is done, Everton have spent the fee so god only knows why it's being held up.

The Overdraft opening (thanks @wishkah) at that level is very interesting and tells me we expect (potentially) to do some serious business tomorrow as it will offer us flexible payment terms as wishkah explained:

I don't post a lot so would like to thank everyone; Rob, Stoof, A&C, JJ, Herc, Gards, GF and everyone else for making this site so much fun to read!

I'm not going to speculate, and will reserve judgement for when the window shuts.

Fingers crossed - COYS!!

HY on COYS (sounds like educated opinion to me)

Poch wants 3 more players. I'm confident he will get what he wants.

JJ called bullshit on someone saying Levy isn't backing Poch and Poch isn't happy early this morning.

But I do agree with your sentiment if we only bring a couple in.

Is the belief this three involves Aurier and Foyth? If so, that only leaves one signing, Barkley or a WF/CF? Or is this another instnce where Foyth is discounted?

Again positive stuff no question and hoping it comes off but I can't help thinking we will run out of time on securing that amount if deals.

Poch probably doesn't count Foyth, but the club probably will in hindsight!

The shocking thing is that £150m doesn't get you much these days (just about get you a poor mans Eriksen in Coutinho!). After a pretty quiet ITK summer the last few days have brought back all the usual SC emotions up down up down levy god levy devil love it. Thanks mods and thanks ITKs
