I do hope so. Although I have no idea who are first choice players are. Tottenham have either kept in under wraps very well or do not have much of a plan (simplification, I know). I think Barkley is dependent on Swansea for the time being. I mean £50 million for Siggy is disgusting. If Everton pay that, they are insane. He is okay but not top 4 level. We either give them a reasonable price for Barkley (15-20 million) or he leaves for free in 6 months. No skin off my back if we don't sign him. Everton are in the worse position.

The Barkley deal is getting closer.
Imminent.

Latest news from SC on Barkley, if he was one of our first picks then we could be signing one shortly!
He has said in multiple posts that he couldn't care less about signings. Guy tried to convince me Onomah would be a Dele Alli next season and improving the midfield with Barkley would be futile, because Lesniak was coming through. He also thinks KWP is ready to play back-up to Trippier, he's completely off his rocker
I think Pochettino would not have wanted him gone if Walker hadn't wanted to go.
Pochettino didn't suddenly think he was not good enough and surplus to requirements.
Not that you're interested in reasons why it could happen but here are some facts...
- We've been linked to him earlier in the window
- He's a versatile player. (Play 2nd striker or on the wing)
- He's in the last year of his contract.
- He wanted to go to Juve but they instead purchased Douglas Costa & Bernardeschi (Very similar players)
Cons
- He's a dick
- There are reports he's fine playing out his last contract at Lazio and joining Juve next season on free.
Zzzzzzzz. Getting bored of it now. How hard is it to get a player across the line ? He is clearly interested in us and so is Poch. Just get the deal done. We have money from the Walker sale.
Oh fuck yes please. And the Mirror isn't even the worst source.
:avbpray:
You can go back 600 pages and find me saying we need to replace the unused fringe players with trusted players that will strengthen the squad.
If you had your way, we'd never see Winks again in a Spurs shirt because you think some player you can't even name is a better option.
You are the type of person who would mock the idea of having KWP and Edwards in the bench, yet have them in in your starting line after 2 stellar performances.
You are the type of person who would want Barkley sold if he was ours.
A typical grass is always greener monger, who is nowhere to be seen when things are good.
If we sign no one and spank Newcastle, you won't be around. You will turn up on Wednesday and say "it was only a championship side".
I'm proud I'm not on the same page as you....mock me all you want, it simply reiterates my beliefs when you are your ilk disagree with me.
35 million would have been too much this time last year, but with the current market and the fact that we're down to having only two of our first choice CAMs fit (Eriksen and Alli) while waiting for Son and Lamela to recover, meaning we'll likely have to play Sissoko...
Suddenly a young homegrown player with a lot of potential who could slot in at CAM or CM sounds really fucking good right now.
How can a cock fight without wings? Haha
There are an infinite number of variables in play when considering whether a player would have succeeded or failed.
What is true is that, in general, Levy is not a gambling man, and has had his fingers burnt when he has done so in the past. He would rather stick than twist.
It's not bullshit, the bottom is bound to fall out of the market at some point. Clubs cant spend £200 million pound more than they earn every window.
You may see that as spin to justify a lack of spending, but the comments where entirely appropriate be that they were made during a visit to the american stock exchange. He was discussing economics not football.
I'm getting the most incredible sense of deja vu ?!?
Of cause not, why would he do that? If Kane wanted out then he will be binned too. Point stands, Poch wanted him gone, out of the team, so he's sold.
Capoue and Satmbouli were ok but didn't fit Pochs style of play.
Zamora was crap, Bent was always average and Paulinho was utter shite.
What's your point? Have I said that every Spurs signing has been good? Quite the opposite, hence my stance this window
You are deluded mate end of story. The type of supporter that sits there and bitches about everyone for being frustrated with our lack of movement but then goes and says exactly the same thing a few months down the line: you are a hypocrite. I like the fact we are pushing through youngsters but I'm not deluded like you because I'm a realist. I know the likes of Edwards etc are not ready for anything close to CL as of yet and judging by our manager, neither is Kyle Walker peters. So guess what? That means we need reinforcements. You keep pretending your this high moral supporter when everyone apart from your sidekicks ( smoked salmon and pleb) can see you as a deluded clown.
'You are' is fine.
