JJ said he'd be offline until about 10 didn't he? He'll be back for "The Daniel Levy power hour"

Or ffs Levy sort it out time

I think the fact jj has gone missing from twitter and in here tells us everything really, sadly.

Nothing has come to fruition. I assume we just wouldn't stretch as far as what was neeeded to close the better players.

In hindsight its been a good windows with sigs, verts, dembele and ade. But when you don't make last day signings you just feel deflated really

It's the fact that we sold a big player on the deadline day without organising a replacement that hurts.
Glyfi this/gylfi that - it's crap, he's a good player, but he's there to rotate with VdV or other - not to replace him.
As it stands, as soon as Gylfi or Dembele get crocked we have NO cover.

If Moutinho does not come off it will be down to 3rd party ownership I dont think we have ever been able to complete a deal where there is 3rd party ownership involved

It would have been good, except we sold our two best players, and have not adequately replaced them. Time's not up, but it's not looking good...

Unless Levy pulls a blinder in the last hour, we have taken a big step backwards this window, and with it, we've lost hope of challenging for top 4.

Guys seriously, stop, take a deep breath and read back some of the bollocks that just been posted. Then take another deep breath. Count to ten, have a wank, fuck it, have two wanks, do something, anything. The time to pass judgement is after the window closes. Not yet. Surely you can see that?

Not exactly looking good though is it.

1/3 done. Come on Levy - 2 hours to prove us to be pre judgemental morons! I'll allow my pride to be damaged... This one time.

I will obviously disappointed if we don't sign anyone besides Lloris today, but all in all I think this has been an alright window. We've brought in a lot of talented players, and I think we're set up for a fine autumn

If Moutinho fails NO-ONE can label Levy a master of being a shrewd businessman.

It was a school boy error allowing Porto/Mout's agent know we had lost VDV; it merely played into their hands.

Now they know we are desperate and in theory can demand what they wish...

Hamburg had to have Rafa on their squad list by midday, otherwise he would have been ineligible! So it's not as simple as you think. There was no way for us to hide it.

IF you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:


If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
' Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Could be bonfire of the ITKs tomorrow, especially the Twatter lot.

Too many "done" and "chill we've got this" statements for their own good.

I thought we'd just spent £50-60m?
