I wonder if we get our signings done at the last minute I could do with the anxiety and sweating

Thanks so much to the SC ITKs' ,in you I trust. In the last 2 or 3 transfer windows we have been going all out for plan A.Plan B or C results in dead wood most of the time. So if it takes a bit longer, so be it.
Recent updates show us that we are sticking to our plans, stay strong and for those of you that can't, wash your bedsheets every day. COYS.

Think people are forgetting just how significant Ndombele is going to be.

More to come for sure, but we've already got our most important signing in.
I also think people overestimate what 1 guy can do - will be a lot of heavy lifting for a certain core of players this season if the current paper talk is true. If Eriksen stays (which according to the papers would mean no Lo Celso in) he'll be going on overdrive this season, just like past seasons. Just saw that Wanyama is up for sale as well, with West Ham interested. One or two injuries to the core and we'll be back to the worst times this season, playing players such as Rose at DM and whatnot. We had a thin squad as it was. Selling starters and not replacing them is worrying IMO.

I'm just saying we've brought in one very important signing, not that we shouldn't bring anymore in.

It's good to have that key signing in. A lot of speculation swirling around lots of potential incoming and outgoings (Trippier confirmed)

Top/most reliable ITK are confident, JJ always appears to air on the side of caution but sounds really positive.

Don't think we need a meltdown just yet.

We'll have a full and fit squad by the start of the season. ITKs all very positive so keep calm.

I hope you're right, just as Mr Pink - but Son and Foyth are both suspended against Villa. And Aurier has done his hamstring or something, right? I'll cross my fingers for some major activity in the coming week or two..

The papers may well say that but our ITK's don't, they say Lo Celso is not dependant on Eriksen going so if Eriksen stays we will have him and Lo Celso.

ITKs all saying deals are close and say that LoCelso is not dependant on Eriksen moving. In other words, papers making stuff up.

It’s not about money, it’s the fact that the construct of time exists as well as the window’s deadline and as far as I know - time still moves forward. We don’t have long at all to get shit moving. This notion that anybody that is apprehensive (considering the club’s previous transfer window excursions) about the window is a “bedwetter” is childish.
Now we've jetted off to Asia, the aim should be to get these 'pending' deals done before the Audi Cup so they can at least get some sort of integration and run out before the season starts. My heart couldn't take us leaving 3/4 of our business to the last fucking day, again.

ghostofarmo on full back plans: ....Sessegnon
Putting two and two together from various ITKs it seems like we will try for a Digne Rose p/ex and Sessegnon as a forward option but should the Digne deal not come off then we'll be happy to throw Sessegnon straight in at left back.
