I wouldn't mind Llorente as Kane back up.Most worryingly he isn't dismissing Llorente!
I dont think it is, but because we've left things so late it seems that way.At least you're not asking for too much.
Hercules has been quite certain there's at least one WF coming in, with pace, so think we can rule our Aurier as the only addition.
There was ITK earlier in the week Poch wants a a versatile forward, someone capable of playing wider and up top, which to me rules out Llorente, doesn't look our type of signing.
As for Gomes, I'm wondering if that's just posturing from the club, rattle Everton that we can/will move on if they don't get real on Barkley considering his contract and injury situation.
He could well be the player we're revisiting from the past.I wouldn't mind Llorente as Kane back up.
If/when aurier is announced it will have been a good window imo! Another 1 is a bonus and losing barkley is meh
JJ's Twitter Q&A:
Q: Can you dismiss links to llorente and Gomes? We need pace!
JJ: No I cannot. We are getting pace
I don't get this point of view. No matter the quality of the player we're still talking about people's jobs being put at risk if the info comes out too early? If we get far enough down our list that we're working on finalising Gray, it's more important we get the transfer done than JJ leaking us info a few hours before we'd hear it anyway.If it was Gray i am sure JJ MAY have said more. Seems to me the guy is still going to be a top player who we may get gazzumped for. Finally sounds like Levy has done what Pochettino really wanted and pulled it all off.
Gray + Gomes would not be a bad window at all. Sure we'd all like that "household name" pacy WF, but those two plus the rest of our business would actually be ok.We are going to bring in Gray and Gomes, and spend all our energy on trying to tie up Llorente aren't we...
Pessimist.
Don't worry, I'll be happy and believing in a world class WF again soon.
JJ:
Enjoy today
Ps if you don't like the end result please don't include me in any moaning tweets as I don't care

Gray is 3rd choice wide forward we're after I believe
Is the general consensus that martins is 1st choice, gray 3rd, so who is 2nd choice???
Would that positive ITK include JJ saying he was still calm and hopeful less than 12 hours ago? He's just saying he doesn't care about peoples' opinions lol. Remember there's still people that don't want Barkley.Probably doing the much criticised thing of reading too much into something an ITK says, which isn't actually there..but.. I see that last line as a lot more negative than the weeks of positive ITK that we have received...
