I agree. Far too early to start singing Kumbaya yet. Our fat lady ain't ready!Come on guys, don't throw in the towel just yet. Just because ITK are quiet doesn't mean nothing will happen. Levy may just have to bite the bullet and pay more than he might want, but he needs a statement signing. Lets hope for a busy day tomorrow.

Did I imply anything which differs from what your exclaiming, or are you just looking to cause aggro? I didn’t say anything other than it’s nuts in here, it is!Why is it bonkers? People who have been on this forum long enough know how this plays out from here...
We needed to strengthen. We wont. Every fan has the right to be disappointed with that.
Everything is getting rather silly on here to be fair.
Signing someone or plural is not the be all and end all. It's general progression that's important.
We are far from perfect, but each year we are getting closer.
The nucleus is there, and it's finding the right blend over the next few years to complete the jigsaw gradually in the right way.
Daniel Levy is hugely frustrating at times, supported by many other chairmen confirming how difficult he is to deal with. But he is a businessman, and a good businessman. And let's not forget, a Spurs supporter too, so a bit of a juggling act there.
It is plainly obvious to see that everything has been planned to play a game of high risk poker on deadline day. Players who were 15m not that long ago are being sold for 4 times that amount when purchasing earlier. So I see it that it is a case of spend the early part of the transfer window getting everything in place, and then choosing where to fire on the final day. And then in addition on the final day, there is always the chance of a gem, or maybe a dud, but that's the risk.
Daniel Levy was supporting the B Team in the US recently, and that is not the sign of someone desperate to get work done early.
In my view, there is a plan, and that is to carry out extensive planning in readiness for a deadline day battle, in the face of a very difficult and challenging transfer window. In fact, I expect a similar approach to be taken next summer too.
People may belittle the ITK but they have said things will be left late. As an example, and I can't be bothered to go back and find the exact quote, but I remember distinctly ValenciaYid saying things will go to the last day, and how right he was.
Let's be honest, we will sign at least one player tomorrow. But this is still all part of the grand plan over the next few years. Just chill and enjoy the ride. We're in safe hands!
saw somewhere that tomorrow is just a «soft» deadline. We can still loan players with permanent agreement in January until end of August...Heard anything on that?with the window closing so early 2mo too i think its safe to say we will be lucky to get 1 signing let alone 2 as we earlier thought this week
Been confirned as incorrect a number of times. Deadline for PL clubs is 5pm tomorrow including loansL

Alternatively. The team with world class players and top class backup in each position, so didn't need to buy anyone.
This place has officially gone nuts. I have been on this since some of you were still in primary school and I think this is the maddest SC has ever been. Totally bat shit bonkers!
Anyone else feel like this is a dream? Like, I cannot actually believe we haven't signed a player, or are even close to signing a player, with just over 17 hours to go until the deadline.
Positive cash flow ?We are not signing anyone, that is hard enough to accept. But if we also let Rose, Toby and/or Dembele go too then I am totally lost on what we were even trying to achieve this window.
