Hmmm lots of different ITK happening at the moment. I guess we will find out who has the best/most up to date sources.

Im praying JJ is wrong but when has he ever been!

He gets some top notch info but he has been off the mark in the past so don't lose hope just yet. He was adamant that we had no interest in Ben Davies despite all the press links etc... Then he signed for us.

In all honesty im not a big fan of trying to convince someone, who doesnt really want to join, to join... its akin to pleading and begging.

I understand you need to sell the club the dream as it were but judging this situation on the info there has been he will fucking bail and cause a stink as soon as someone comes in for him.

I would stay away I think

The harsh reality is though, if we are targeting those of the highest calibrate that our competition for signatures ranges from Bayern theough to Barcelona. Of the top 10 wealthiest clubs globally at the moment we are the smallest of them all so surely our options are these:

1- target the cream who will also be in contact with bigger teams, hence the need to convince them of the project,what the club stands for, its traditions and direction going forward

2- target targets that the best of the rest go for where we go to the top of the pile based on reputation.

It depends on what people think will take us forward, the Adrien Rabiots or Andre Gomes' of this world

Not meaning to @ anybody but “transfers are fluid” has got to be the most irritating thing to come out of this window. It means nothing. You could apply “are/is fluid” to absolutely everything except potentially gases and solids.

They’re fluid for us because it goes from a state of doing absolutely nothing to doing absolutely nothing.

Same with Toby Alderweireld to be fair

It's not what he posts about who is incoming, it's more that he says things aren't happening when we are linked to players in the media or some other ITK's. 9/10 he is right.

Ask me if we're signing any player we're linked with. I'll say no and will be correct at least 9/10. I'd have had a 100% track record in the past year :)

Even Sue from Londis knows that. And she hates football, preferring Strictly over the beautiful game

No he wasn't wrong something changed. Hence why VY says things can change quickly. ITK is always and should be taken with salt but if JJ says something is or isn't happening i would back him over anything. Don't recall him ever being completely wrong ever tbf

According to 'Get French Football News' on twitter, Aurier's post on instagram last night was a sign of support to Rabiot as he recently lost his father.

PU is a bloody solid source.

He spent a deadline day promising us pace, and when nothing happened, he trotted out a Hale and Pace joke.

Still think Rabiot's ego tells him he's a way better player

He's on record as saying we're not a big enough club for him & his ego simply wouldn't allow him to do a "U" turn on this.

Always believe if we want to improve we need to bring in players that want to come & improve us & he clearly isn't one of those. If he were to come I think he'd always be thinking I should have been at Barca.

When did he say this? I don't see any quotes reported, just 'sources'.

Oh well. No Rabiot and we are skint apparently. Not bad for a team recently ranked 10th by Forbes (?) in terms of value. Yet, we approach the TW like a trip to the local Sunday market, ready to haggle over a 50 pence set of socks.

We’d never buy a pair of socks, that’s at least one too many

Tell you what if Rabiot was doubting joining us before, this game sealed the deal.
