one or 2 things may happen yet....(outs and ins)
some things are near but not near enough to discuss.(assuming i will anyway)
Over the next day or so things should become clearer.

I'd suggest several things going on - and these are some of the reasons :

1. Arsenal trying to spend money on a cm and wing forward.....similar to us, so we may need time to see who they are going for and adjust targets if necessary

2. We know we need to get players out - buts its probably 2 or 3 out of a possible 10, so we don't want to leak names too early. And there may be several possible destinations for some clubs so we do not want the competing clubs to know about each other atm in order to get the best deal

3. There's an important match tonight, so we do not want to divert any of the players in that squad away from the match - hence the 24 hours blackout on itk which JJ is suggesting

4. Re MS, it may be important to Southampton to get a player or two in - so the identity of the players being discussed (not just AT) may need to be secret to ensure our bid is prefrred by Southampton over an all cash bid

I think the club has done a superb job this window defensively. If the Jan news is true then its been spectacular.

Just need the cherry on top

I think the Goat's last bleat was really good news. That the players love Poch and working under him could create that synergy that could provide the breakthrough the club needs to get to the next level, not necessarily this season it does make is more possible. :)

I'd be surprised if we're in for another high profile signing.

Me too. I reckon MS and 1 other (wing forward) and we'll be done. However, the beauty of being spurs is that you know levy's got a stack of cash hidden away in case someone offers him a bargain with half an hour of the window to go. Personally I think we're due something special at the last minute and even though it's been a theme for the last few windows, I reckon the loan from Madrid could well be a goer. We'll see. JJ sounds as excited as the rest of us to be honest.

The main thing is that the feel good factor is back and it's been a relatively quick turnaround from last season's shit.

I'm pretty optimistic about this season. It's going to be interesting to say the least. ;)

So Morgan Schneiderlin aside, I think it's fair to say from JJ's latest that we dont' have clear indicators of who the other "ins" might be right now.

Clearly expect to see some players leave between now and Monday and would be delighted if just MS comes in but certainly open to the idea of more if the club can do the deals.

I think Levy will be sitting tight and seeing if anything falls into his lap on deadline day. Like what happened to Arsenal last year, someone might need us to take one of their players off their hands to make room for a big singing of their own.

TBF - i'm scared to post in this thread at the moment but think this falls under ITK discussion :nailbiting:

When you say cherry on top, I cant help but try and work out if that's a cryptic.....

Even though I know it's not and I also know you're no longer ITK.

God my heads wrecked.....

Anyway..... Cherry eh? What could he be alluding to!? :confused:

Phew I read it and thought of Neneh Cherry and if Im honest I don't want us to adopt the Buffalo Stance formation, it doesnt work against the pacy teams. The more Eagle Eyed amongst you would know that.

Anyway loving the positivity today and heres hoping we get MS done

After the Fazio signing yesterday and JJ's confirmation that Jan has signed his new deal, I think we're in really good shape. MS would just be the icing on the cake for me. Loving the targeted approach to signings this summer and delighted with the ITK that harmony in the camp is really good. If that generates just 5% more effort from every player because they're happy, it could really make a difference. Anything from now on is just Gravy!!!
I don't get why the club haven't announced Jan, I'm never happy until its official.

Lots of clubs are looking at him aren't they? My son plays football with Darren Potter's son. They have a match on Sunday if he's there I'll tap him up for info.

If you've had a post deleted, your out of here when I do the update.

Anyone else want to start with the spam?

methinks i have it figured out... there is good spam and bad spam...

good spam involves anything from A&C's sexual deviance to pun-ny banter to lol-worthy quips. > what other readers dont mind

bad spam involves having an unneccesary verbal sparring session with someone who's opinion differs from yours and off topic conversations (except A&C's sexual deviance) and twatter and non verified itk and formation and old itk talk. > what annoys others

the almost at the brink maneuvre involves either a fat donation, offering your mum or nan, or if you are really polite and made an honest mistake, and apologise (and offer your mum, or a midget) > what pleases A&C

the hole in one though, is... if you can make A&C bother to rate your post "watch it!", but not ban you, you know you are in his good books. or soon to be in him.

back to topic, MP says possible that SOME more may join... which makes it probable that after tonight's match, 2 to 4 departures can be expected before fools game on sunday.

I love the fact our kids are getting decent loan moves away!

I used to run rings around Ryan as a kid - saying that he was 5 years younger :whistle: Good luck Ryan!

You were 6 and he was 1, right? Things soon changed once he could walk! ;)

As expected, Fredericks has gone out on loan.

Tottenham Hotspur ‏@SpursOfficial 1m
LOAN: Ryan Fredericks has joined Championship side Middlesbrough on loan for the rest of the season.
I am a bit disappointed with that loan. I would have thought Palace or even Villa would have taken a punt on him.
Naughton next out if Dier has a good performance against 'Pool. Maybe a p/x with Bony.
