If we cannot do that deal, we will not waste it on same area, lesser player. In the last 48 hours, some very good names in desperation being put to us. But! Also to our rivals. Some we were interested before, but they through their agents, was hedging their bets. Today’s work is about finding out if we will be wasting our time, our selling clubs playing games on price and structure.

If this is the case, we will hold out on just the 2 players. Poch berry happy with that.

That's the key factor here. Poch must have been given assurances to sign on for his new contract. As an aside, I'm reading the other part as we will not buy sub standard just to get someone through the door, we want Martial, however if a similar calibre player comes available, and players are getting offered, we may pull the trigger, the money is there. This player being a potential 3rd signing.

With all the latest possibilities being thrown a round here, the majority of them see us weaker than last year, Not good. No way we sell Dembele to city and Toby to utd surely
Has it been established that it's City we've accepted a bid from? Interesting if so...

Losing both of them was always part of the plan. The summer hasn't quite gone the way the club anticipated, but hopefully they've all been working to put everything in place to do the business they always wanted to do even if it's happening at the opposite end of the window to what they had hoped.

It's amazing how every club has demanded super high prices for their players this summer(imo based on what Liverpool have laid out) yet with two days to go they know that Premier league cash is still king. The number of players being shopped around by their agents today is incredible. It's not just the buying clubs that are now getting desperate

Followed up by........

Yeah, I'm sure there are at least a couple that are of significant interest to your lot.:)


Nothing concrete there but reasons to be optimistic at least

Good Good! (y)

The previous record was 5000 online but the site was completely dead and no one could do anything.

The most we've had on with the site usable in previous windows was around the 2000 mark.

We've never had this many on before with the site running so smoothly and that's thanks to everyone's donations helping to fund the server.
That is a thing of beauty

Seems to be them or Fulham, I can't see it.. Its the Toby and Dembele going and the calibre of replacements that worries me, they'll always have potential that's for sure but theyre replacing proven quality, not really good enough for me.

If this is correct then you could argue that we have played a very good game here, and some opportunities may now open up.

Sounds so much more promising than what we had been hearing in the days previous to this.

I feel certain we will spend, and spend big, if a top level player becomes available to us.

Cheers Trix. Does make sense, the change in window was likely to have some form of silver lining. Desperate clubs on the continent with time to replace after our window closes, potent combo.

This sounds like we might try and sign an 'opportunity' again (thinking Sissoko, Llorente).

Hopefully it's our targets or no one. (Unless absolutely blow your balls off outstanding).
