Blue Dahlia...

Dahlia is the Flower of Mexico. Blue in Spanish is Azul. Cruz Azul are a Mexican team...but I don't think they have any decent players.

Hmm...Carlos Vela?

I actually think he's quite underrated, he offers creativity in the final third.

I used to think he was ok too and between him and zaha its a no brainer id go for sessegnon anyday

You did make me laugh tho sir.

I always liked him, but its about 5 years too late to go for him.

ITK promising regarding transfers unfortunatly I think the Trix info is

about Sissoko, Pau and the hopefully one is Zaha.

EDIT: Forgot about Nkoudou, I'm not actually sure he exists anymore.

No. I think Poch is making an effort to try and bring Winks through. Bringing in another CM will just push him down the pecking order.
If that's the case it seems odd that he hasn't played him for more than a minute against Everton or Liverpool when we clearly needed something different in the middle of that park.

N'Koudou done, Lopez the other, hopeful of some unknown youngster being loaned out. Am I right?

To be fair he almost got a whole minute against Liverpool !

We are certainly looking at bringing 3 in - Pau and GNK plus one more as of yesterday that was my info , interest and apprrocahes made for Zaha, Coric and Isco, no idea what we will get done adn we been here b4 so not sure will get everything we want done

then

Poch is happy to move players around ie drop Kane deeper, move Alli deeper so we might not have numbers but we are covered in positions, he does not want players he thinks are not up to it

then when asked about Zaha , Isco and Coric

Peronally think Isco is most likely as far as I understand it purely down to player.

then when asked about Isco

Poch has spoken with him

Yep sissoko looking most likely... A&C will be happy.

then it's a question of whether we shop around for a wide player or stick with son and/or njie?

Is this not what the transfer window is meant to prevent? Kane is the best striker we've had in years, why waste him as a 10?

Why are we signing the keeper? Hugo's injury wasnt long term was it?
Got a funny feeling Vorm will be sold to Sunderland after they missed out on Hart. Maybe we're opting for a young deputy for Lloris. Or maybe we just don't know what we're doing.

- Janssen
- Wanyama
- Sissoko
- Zaha
- Nkoudou
- Pau

That's the plan boys.

- Janssen and Wanyama done
- Nkoudou and Pau in the bag
- Sissoko being done as we speak, with Spurs' jet having flown to Toon this morning
- Zaha is the Deadline Day Drama. £18m offer on the table as of last night. Pop it up to £23 later today. Start talking to Parish. Offer them Onomah or Winks on loan. Seal it at £27m (+ add-ons) tomorrow. Paid for by the Townsend and Chadli transfer fees, and by the large saving on wages, with one salary replacing two (would save millions over lifetime of Zaha's contract.)

...plus...

- Isco is still there as a long-shot punt, and in the infinitesimally small chance he'll come, ship Son off to Wolfsberg, who've already bid more than what we paid for him.

interest and approaches made for Zaha, Coric and Isco

One of these is not like the others... Coric and Isco are fairly similar players, but Zaha is very different. I can see us wanting one of the first two regardless, and Zaha as a replacement for Son if we get a massive offer for him. I'm not opposed to trading Son for more of a tricky winger, but Zaha is not a good alternative to the other two.
