I’d be happy with that at this stage.

So would I . But you bet that there will be plenty that ain’t .

the same people that will have proper meltdowns if we don’t bring anyone in .

I was just thinking how fun yesterday was living through WLB on the Fati deal..

Thanks for coming back and dropping in some info, much appreciated!

Really hoping we can get Johnson + Tosin (or those positions over the line). In terms of Gallagher, would be a nice bonus, but if it doesn't come off, I think we have enough there until Jan..

Fingers crossed!

Johnson deal hasn't moved today

Yeah but that happens. It's pretty standard for deals to stutter and stall and then restart again when all parties are looking for a win but need a solution.

Can’t say the Tosin or Johnson signings excite me too much

I'm still recovering mate. I see the Spur's line was he was never an immediate target fati had his bags backed for levy to tell Mendes no we have changed our mind hours after the work went in.

Is the correct action to throw all the toys out of the pram cos we’re not signing a player many of us didn’t want on a deal that wouldn’t show any long term planning?

We can keep buying players for the sake of it but that’s not worked in recent years, has it - hence why we have a squad that is both bloated and expensive. Besides - your power is to vote with your feet. Don’t go to games, don’t buy stuff from them, don’t engage if you don’t want to. Personally I’m excited about Spurs for the first time in years and actually look forward to watching us again, so I’m not really feeling like we need to burn it all down when the direction finally seems pretty good.

We both know it’s so much more than just that, the lack of ambition from this club is frightening, the players you mentioned we brought in, were long overdue holes in our starting 11.

Yes the football will be better, but let’s not pretend Ange is being fully backed like he should be, given our resources.
(& having just pocketed 100m on our greatest goal scorer)

It’s fine to be excited & looking forward to the future, i’m just pointing out that it’s not all rosey, as it’s made out to be.

back in talks for tosin

I like the idea of this signing. Feels like a step up from Dier/Davies/Sanchez/Tanganga.

I suppose we just need to get rid of some of them first.

I don’t actually give a shit about Fati, it’s the wasted effort (which is wasted money) in this whole episode that fucks me off.

yeh very common but we ain't got time to piss around with this screams Berahino to me.

 

[worcestersauce]

You’re right. I should, and will withhold judgement until the end of the window.

I bet you're preparing your notes though

Johnson deal hasn't moved today

I’m assuming Levy wants to wait until last min to strong arm Forrest.

I mean I know they beat us on Tuesday...but do they deserve that?!

So odd. I really can’t get my head round it. Why get to that point then change your mind. Just stop at the beginning if you don’t like the terms.

trying to push dier to fulham for tosin

I know Fulham isnt far but how many people are pushing him? Cause it could take a while to shift him through London.

Got a spare wheelbarrow if that would help

Which will go as well as it normally does

Maybe coys Dan was just giving mendes a little taste of what it feels like dealing with a bell end

 

[What Lies Beneath]

So odd. I really can’t get my head round it. Why get to that point then change your mind. Just stop at the beginning if you don’t like the terms.

Daniel was trying to be smart-ass thinking they would agree to a sale or option in mind hoping for a delay in the deal to resume talks on it today as the player said yes to it and Barca said no with Brighton offering the terms required after being informed by mendes. The player was convinced to play there on a dead loan.

 

[worcestersauce]

I can't imagine Dier is going to commit to Fulham on a permanent deal at this point in time it'll have to be a loan surely.
