And the clock continues to click round. 2 days or so to go and still not much movement. Do we need some sort of signing that will get the pulses racing? Yes. Will we get it - not too confident tbh. Bleedin' hell!

Do like me. Chill, be satisfied with what we have so far, watch whats going on around us. That way if there is any further positive ITK utterance or signing, it will have an element of a 'wow!' factor!

I'd really like to know what the alternatives to Welbeck are that were alluded to. We should've been all over PSV to get a deal done for Depay early in the window. He's going to be a star.

Not bringing in a LWF would be a huge mistake. An injury to Chadli or Lamela and we are going to struggle, as Townsend and Lennon have demonstrated they don't have end product, which is incompatible with Pochettino's system.
According to JJ, we tried for Depay but he didn't want to come.

I think we've done well so far, we don't need any luxury players like Mata, if anything we need to trim a bit!

I don't remember him saying that Depay didn't want to come, simply that we just pondered the possibility, and seemed to ultimately not go after him.

    @jetsetyid big mistake not signing Depay. Will be out of our price range and have better options next year

@BungieGB why is it a mistake? We tried to but player didn't want the move.

Ok, thanks for putting that up.

So I guess its basically announcing this kid from Montpellier on Monday and maybe Welbeck on loan (although JJ did say we had other options if it doesn't happen)

I'd say that's about as good as it gets.

I'm sure there will be a few wild left field rumors that won't amount to anything.

But still, got to love it!

Yep, il be glued to it all day like right sad bastard lol cant beat it. Think JJ said chance of 2 loans in addition to Stambouli which intrigued me. Have a hunch uncle Daniel might have another Rafa moment ....

So...……This morning some silly **** said......…

Someone then gets tapped on the noggin with Le Banstique and sends me a PM saying

Surely anyone this simple should be immediately be put into some sort of professional care? They must be a danger to the general public and almost certainly themselves...Should I notify the authorities?

Had to post just to prove it wasn't me ;)

Anyway I don't think we tried that hard for Depay IMO.

Did JJ confirm Welbeck was a loan? I only saw him say we were in for him, didn't see him say if loan or transfer.
