Some late night Goat.
See how good we are to you?
Beavering away in the early hours to bring you smiley free ITK.
Get Barkley done, sign a RB (Pereira, Henrichs, Toljan, etc), and snag Davinson Sanchez. In my eyes this would make a very disappointing window much better. I also believe that part of what Rose is saying should be looked upon. Give our key players the money that would be made at a Manchester club, I understand what and who we are working with but if we want to keep our best side in god knows how many years, money has to be invested in our players.

Really pleased to see the latest ITK, hopefully will calm a few jitters at the stories in today's press, direct contradictions.
Koeman's words yesterday probably for Swansea benefit rather than ours going by the goat's bleat.
Surely they'd be another forward player to follow. Poch obviously wants another after missing out on that Balde fella.
Had it not been for the massive dragging of heels our summer signings would have been a LOT more acceptable and sensible. Levy panicked when he got it wrong and realised what the consequences were going to be, think about it, how Levylike is it for him to make a last minute signing and STILL pay over the top? Its completely against type. He shat himself.
And Poch stated he wanted his summer dealings done early..........Things weren't right at chez lane
I still say that it wouldn't surprise me if we were looking for a new manager come the end of the season.
The Goat said:Here's the latest across the Goat's horns.........
Whilst Pochettino understands that we can't sign big stars, he's getting increasingly frustrated that targets agreed to are not being delivered, despite these players being entirely affordable, within our range and agreeing to come. In fact is a number of cases fees have actually been agreed.
He's not getting his choices with some regularity and things aren't at all well between him and the bald man who offers up signings that Poch just doesn't want. He'll continue to say the right things for now but unless things change soon, at some point we'll start to see stories appearing in the media. The Goat's source guesses we might get another season from him at best unless things dramatically improve. But that's just a guess.
The players don't see the new ground as the be all and end all, they want to see ambition to go along with it and as for the wages thing, this isn't player greed, its promises being made and then broken. A number of players are only still here because of Pochettino and if he goes this could all turn very quickly into a nightmare for the man at the top with the majority of our top names leaving.........unless he (once again) makes moves to fix things. He has a VERY accomplished PR or 'spin' department.
On the good news front, a fee for Barkley has been agreed for some while at 20m but soured by last minute changes to deal structure instigated by the man at the top, so it may or may not happen.......and this isn't the first time, there's a long list of deals that never came off due to these last minute attempts to squeeze a bit out of a deal......... Lemar, Batshuayi, Berahino and going further back even Willian etc etc......The Goat hears that the failure to sign these players is down to one man.
2 signings + Barkley + the Southampton goalie, which is what the ITK generally seems to be alluding to, would be great.
2 signings + Barkley + the Southampton goalie + a Rose replacement would be even better.
The more I think about it, the more I think we should cash in on the little prick now and not risk him getting the Hossam Ghaly treatment from fans and being flogged on the cheap in January.
I think the general consensus, from Gards especially is that the 3rd choice GK doesn't count towards these 3-4 players being banded around.
We'll never in a million years sign a player as good as Rose has been last couple of years so i fail to see where your excitement stems from.2 signings + Barkley + the Southampton goalie, which is what the ITK generally seems to be alluding to, would be great.
