    I half agree (why I made the argument is it chances or their natural ability). Anyway if it was as simple as just chances I don't see you boys snapping up our talented youth players <whistle>

    He’s not a youth player anymore but the one I’d take from Chelsea if I had the chance is Loftus-Cheek. At Spurs and under Poch I think he’d become amazing.

    Maybe Sarri will give him a chance but with Chelsea’s track record you fear for him if he stays.

    Here's the Catch-22 that the Levy Out mob refuse to exist

    If we sign Grealish at the last minute for £25m, they'll whine that we took too long
    If we paid £40m for him last month they'd whine that we wasted £40m on an unproven player

    No matter what happens they'll complain, and not only is it lose/lose but it's bloody tiresome - especially if this is their solution...

    The Corriere dello Sport are reporting that we're in discussions with Inter about a £44m deal for Marcelo Brozovic

    While I'm inclined to dismiss this due to five years worth of rumours about being in discussions to sign Brozovic, and I will suggest that enthusiasm be tempered for now, there are two things worth considering...
    i.) Inter need to sell to buy, which would strengthen our bid (if there is a bid)
    ii.) Inter are still considering bringing in Dembele, which makes a cash + player bid a possibility (if there is a bid)

    More than anything else, Brozovic can be described as an attack-minded Dembele, with the ability to bring the ball forward from deep coupled with some neat passing - and it's worth remembering that Brozovic is the player who plays alongside Modric and Rakitic for the Croatian national side instead of more popular choices like Kovacic or Badelj

    But, as I said, Brozovic is one of those players we're linked to every single window and have been for several years at this point, which is reason enough to only get excited if something official appears

    Closer to home, there's reports suggesting Luke Amos will be getting a new deal - having previously signed a contract in January

    Brozovic would excite me more than Zaha or Grealish as he is exactly what we need.

    Suggestions that we are in for Stanislav Lobotomy (okay, itsi Lobotka)...a hding midfielder from Celta Vigo, who was thought to be Jorginho's likely replacement at Napoli. I see zero Spanish football, so I've no idea but I could see a potentiallly serious Inury to Big Vic and possible moves for either Mous(s)a necessitating such a purchase.

    We were never in for Kondogbia, nor Wilma or Brozovic but we could very well need that type of player. When he was linked earlier in The Window, he gave a very positive response on social media. This could be purchase No. 1, Boys.

    Never heard of the guy but I think it’s becoming apparent that we may need to bring in at least two CMs/DMs by Thursday. Dembele could still be off, I don’t feel like we can rely on Winks at the moment and the same can be said for Wanyama as well, while for as much as Sissoko has improved, he’s not at the required level.

    Dier is the only CM/ DM who we can rely on over the course of a whole season as he seems immune from injuries (cue me absolutely jinxing it now and he picks up one).

    Massive few days coming up that’s for sure.

    I do not see us being able to do the volume of ins/outs required with 5 days left.
    This window is slowly but surely becoming an absolute disaster! <wah>

    Maybe Poch will take the cups seriously this year because by the time our first team is complete and/or up to speed we’ll be out the title race.

    Title race <laugh>

    We don’t have the ambition to compete for that.

    Pochettino is fast becoming Puppetino.

    Are you serious King!! Ambition? Did you notice the new stadium? Does that not express more ambition than signing yet more bench warmers? It really is a joke to talk about a club that has no ambition when it has nearly completed the construction of one of the Worlds best stadiums. The squad we have is more than capable of competing even without any additions.

    Rumours that Toby is a gonner! Gonna completely a move to United in “48 hours”, according to the daily mirror.

    Two summers, two snakes have departed.

    £60m is decent money for a 29 year old with a year left. Need to make sure we reinvest that though. Wouldn't mind going for Mina, had a good WC and knows Dave.
