There can't be that many hacks working for the rags these days, surely?!

Who are all of you weirdos?!? Sign in and say hello!

There will be a fair number who have linked through from the SCITK Twitter page as new bits filter onto there

 

[RichieS]

This sounds like we might try and sign an 'opportunity' again (thinking Sissoko, Llorente).

Hopefully it's our targets or no one. (Unless absolutely blow your balls off outstanding).

That's what Herc seems to be saying.

No pictures in the itk thread please... @Archibald&Crooks get him!!! ?

And then he takes his great, big fucking toy with him and we’re left in the dark with our limp todgers squirming blindly like tired earthworms

It's amazing how every club has demanded super high prices for their players this summer(imo based on what Liverpool have laid out) yet with two days to go they know that Premier league cash is still king. The number of players being shopped around by their agents today is incredible. It's not just the buying clubs that are now getting desperate

Followed up by........

Yeah, I'm sure there are at least a couple that are of significant interest to your lot.

.........................................................................................................

Nothing concrete there but reasons for some of you miserable twats, not to be lugging the extension lead and the toaster up to the bathroom just yet.

I laughed out loud at that last bit. Fanx for the updates.

Re Trix's info: I'm sure if an opportunity, too good to pass by, is presented to us on a plate - we'll go for it.

Whether or not we'll be able to actually pull something off short notice, is another matter...

And exactly the reason why we do our business late as always have done!!

I can understand people wanting business to be done but wanting it on their time frame too is simply ridiculous.

PARTIAL OPINIONS
1. Toby-no interest at reasonable price in PL. possible end of Europe window, but very cold with no interest that once existed
2. Danny Rose likely to still be here. He is available, but no realistic takers
3. Mousa is very reluctant to go to another PL club. Loves London and us. Down to him. One of the most liked and respected players by the whole club
4. Sissoko is a staying -DCM
5. That Nordic kid is being touted around at 15m the real deal. We are very aware, but don’t know if we will bite
6. Louds of very average shyte with crazy prices being offered
7. A few ‘Revisits’ and couple new names has been given to us. Agents not necessarily desperate, but know the buying club who has the cash, will now make the call. I don’t like it, but this is DL’s strength. We know the bottom dollar the selling clubs wants. If there are goers, we will know next few hours. Media will get wind, as agents will use every tool to get these deals done.
8. Expect 2! But! If (7) is addressed in our favour, possible 3

Part of me is expecting "we tried for [insert potentially world class player here] on deadline day but it just wasn't to be".

It's happened too many times before for me to get excited just yet.

Thanks for the info!

Sorry for my ignorance but what is DCM? I feel like it's defensive centre mid but I feel like it might have another meaning.

Thank you for calming our collective tits Herc, always a pleasure!

You are correct.

I really hope we bite on Nordic. I’ve watched every clip I could find of him and am now convinced he’ll be compared to Milinkovic-Savic in a year, and priced accordingly.

You're correct albeit, i doubt first choice. The fact that it is Sissoko, however could also mean "Down Coal Mine" helping us power the new stadium.

 

[wrd]

You are correct.

I figured thanks, I was up at 3 a.m doing classes with yank teachers so was feeling a bit stupid and thought maybe it was a late transfer acronym or something. I actually think Sissoko will be fine at DCM aslong as he quickly passes the ball to a more technically gifted specimen.

 

[swarvsta]

Sissoko to play in defensive midfield? Wow.

This could possibly work, but smacks of a last ditch attempt to find a use for him and not waste our money.

Biggest problem is he isn’t a great defender, has never shown an ability to read the game, and he cannot pass the ball more than 5 yards.

Wow - all very exciting and pleased to read Toby, Danny and Mousa could all possibly stay, three experienced top-level performers who would be especially hard to replace. But it just goes to show static the market has been for us until now, we were all expecting to see some outgoings to make space for the newcomers we are gagging for

or just once it does.....
Lots to happen but still optimistic
