I was told 2 in & 2 out. One was Grealish in (today), the medical that was planned. I quietly confident we will do 2 deals, as per Trix’s information. Just to add to that. We really are serious about Martial, and will hold our main funds for that, and this window.

If we cannot do that deal, we will not waste it on same area, lesser player. In the last 48 hours, some very good names in desperation being put to us. But! Also to our rivals. Some we were interested before, but they through their agents, was hedging their bets. Today’s work is about finding out if we will be wasting our time, our selling clubs playing games on price and structure.

If this is the case, we will hold out on just the 2 players. Poch berry happy with that.

Guessing the CM is of sufficient quality if Poch is happy.

Impressive that we've shown such dedication on Martial but I think Utd will screw us. Hopefully I'm wrong. I think Zaha looked primed to go and would have happily taken him as an easier deal to be honest.

All i Know is that we are relaxed about Dembele, happy if he stays will nurse him through as many games as we can BUT he refused an offer from Inter, has an offer from Japan he has not accepted, don't know of any bid from PL club, which don't mean there isn't one, the player himself wants a big payday ( last contract) and knows he can't play a full season.

As an aside the only CM i have heard us linked with are Kovacic, Cellabios and Ndombele , first 2 are seen as preferred options. I am told no Zaha or Martial and Toby likely to go.

I like 'Martial or no new WF/CF this window' part of Herc's info. It suggests we're done with pointless buys like GKN.

That last line about Toby going with Martial not coming the other way isn't going to sit well with many in here today! :nailbiting:

The info from talk sport yesterday afternoon was Grealish was to have a medical at a 'top London club' today so that's that one, one tomorrow could be a swap, Toby for Martial, but unlikely unless its all been agreed in secret which would mean we would need a CB.
The reason I remained hopeful on Martial was utd being linked to lots of CB's but didn't bid for any and im guessing that Toby is the one they really want.

If it turns out Toby stays. the 'second one' would be a CM as we have accepted a bid for Dembele and I cant see Grealish as his direct replacement. Kovacic is available and is desperate to leave Madrid so im hoping Levy will surprise the pants of us tomorrow but at the same time It wouldnt be surprised if Grealish was the only one.
