Who: Grey Fox
When: 8th December
Where: SC

This is probably the first and only ITK from me this window, unless I hear something exceptional. We are still interested in SB, but don't expect WBA to deal with us so looking at other options as Trix has already said, Dembele and a Belgian youngster are firmly on our radar, but might have to wait to summer to get either.

We were showing interest in Negredo on a loan basis, but Neville likes him so unlikely now, we still may go for a loan deal for an experienced CF if our permanent targets don't materialise.

Townsend will almost certainly be off in January, everyone around him is advising he should move, but he is still reluctant. Trying to off load Fazio, but not a huge amount of interest in him.

The atmosphere around the club is very positive and there is a real belief we can challenge for the title and not getting at least 4th would be a huge disappointment.

The club would support an 18 club Premier League, but not a winter break and the top knobs think Wenger is mad for thinking we should have one as it would allow clubs like Leicester and West Ham with smaller squads to compete on a more equal footing throughout the season making it even harder to gain CL football

The club is confident about getting planning permission next week and I have been told 2018 is worse case scenario and there is a slim possibility if all the ducks line up we could be in new ground sooner
