    The media seem to be exploring new frontiers of shamelessness this transfer window. Fair play, I would never have believed they existed. Spurs related transfer articles for the most part amount to entries in a contest for most outrageous clickbait.

    I ain’t going down without a fight on this award!

    Two posters have already said I’m on drugs for insisting we’ll bring three in and this was before the Coutinho/ Dybala links.

    Sorry to **** on your parade, Perryman but I’m a stubborn prick who don’t like losing!

    Man Utd end interest in Eriksen as apparently he has his heart set on a move to Real Madrid

    You do realise RCL thinks optimism is character flaw? This award is akin to the Golden Raspberries award in movies

    Even though they don't have their heart set on signing him?
    They've probably told him to wait a year.

    Apparently he remains second choice after Pogba.

    If he doesn't move I can't see us financing Dybala, sorry to burst the bubble. Hence the rumours this morning that we've gone back to Sporting and Betis with final offers.

    Fernandes' agent is apparently sitting with the Sporting president hoping to convince him to accept our final bid. All sorts of weird rumours everywhere - some from semi-reliable sources - which suggest that Fernandes' contract includes a clause stating that if Sporting reject an offer of more than £35m for him, they are obliged to give him a pay rise and £4m compensation to be split between the player and his agent.

    Sometimes the BS sounds so convoluted and make-believe that it actually becomes believable. In years to come, psychology graduates will study a variant of the Stockholm Syndrome called the Dier Hard Dilemma.

    I think this must be when they train would be journalists on how to cope with a no news day. Make up a story. then do a follow up to deepen the plot, finally it's not happening.

    Man Utd have us beat in that respect, just like they do every year

    I remember a few summers back somebody posted an prospective lineup if they actually signed all the players they were linked with, and there wouldn't have been any space on the pitch for the opposition players - and yet I think they signed a maximum of two from that list

    It is already covered by "Grealish gobsh*te" (TM) syndrome.

    Lunchtime update
    Spurs have agreed terms with Lo Celso but not Betis
    Spurs have agreed terms with Juventus but not Dybala
