It is because of Brexit. Visas are now needed when they weren’t previously to and from the EU. Happens with every transfer.

That's a good point.Austin is club trained (although I think we could technically leave him out of the 25 man squad altogether and he would be called up to the squad as an emergency keeper if Lloris and Forster were injured, assuming the emergency keeper rule still exists).

Sadly not looking great. Be shocked if someone of any worth came in.
This is the one time he will probably be correct. It is why they announced Romero now I suspect. Classic spurs way of distracting us away from failing to do a last minute transfer.
You’re right to a certain degree, in that if he did sign I think he’d reel fans in early doors by burning past a few players, showing off some of his strength, and some may think “wow we’ve a serious player here!”I'm gonna make a bold statement and it's gonna annoy the fuck out of people.
If we did a last minute ditch move for Traore, I think fans will warm to him quite quickly.
By fans, I mean those of you who actually watch 90 minutes of football and not check stats and final scores.

The Romero video was made three weeks ago and they release it today. I feel we are done. This transfer window at the moment is a 5/10 that could turn into 7/10 if Spence and Lenglet have an impact on the season. The fact is we have not addressed our major weakness at Center back and are still going to be relying on Dier and Davies way too much especially since neither has brilliant distribution.I'm not to sure, better to announce Romero Thursday evening though if that was it. Conte and Pat might be done but i feel this is Levy time now

However, before long when the new signing bounce wears off and fans realise he’s just a jacked version of Lucas Moura, fans will get sick of him damn quick and he’ll just be another piece of deadwood we’ll be trying to shift next summer.
If we signed someone now I'd love to see the idiot try and spin this
How do you know it was made 3 weeks ago?The Romero video was made three weeks ago and they release it today. I feel we are done.

The fact is we have not addressed our major weakness at Center back and are still going to be relying on Dier and Davies way too much especially since neither has brilliant distribution.
The fact is if I was Conte I would be very unhappy with the club because we have done the bare minimum to back him. We were promised more at the start of the summer with the 150m investment, we did not get what we were promised.
He doesn't pass the eye test. He's warming the fucking bench for Wolves.This is bollocks. He takes the ball the length of the pitch. Half the time it ends up with a totally innept team mate. Wolves have been a very low scoring team for years and that's not on Traore. Fuck stats, he passes the eye test.
How many times against Chelsea, Wolves and even Forest did we get the ball in our own 3rd, get shut down and dispossessed immediately?
He can combat that. He can keep the ball and take it into their 3rd. We don't need him to put in Beckham style 45 yard crosses onto a tuppance. He just needs to release the ball to a team mate.
In the first half. In the second half we could have scored 2 or 3, but decided to take it easy.Wolves completely bossed us in midfield & limited our chance creation to almost nothing in open play.
