Fasten your seatbelts for fireworks of, if it happens, a good kind. Too much plausible to say more. I would be kind of brave, but see what happens when I attempt to be. Call it playing poker to get what you want in 3 fronts. If it happens then I will salute the bald eagle.

Oh great, now I'm pulled back in.

Targets we don't know or developments of longstanding targets?

Another week nearly gone and jack shit sign of a signing. How utterly embarrassing and pathetic.

A great man once said “ the game is about glory, doing things with style “ (excuse my paraphrase).

We are so unstylish when it comes to conducting our transfer business it is unbelievable.

Wake me up in October when the meltdown has subsided a very little bit !

Scrub that, Hercules has got me getting optimistic again.

I have no clue what any of this means but it’s got me excited again

I suppose Herc wouldn't salute baldy for signing Grealish after month+ of dealing.

Must be somebody much more exciting. More exciting than Zaha, possible?

I'm excited again, pls don't do it to me.

Herc sounds like Herc again ?

All I can do is read this thread, shake my head and laugh or cry, depending on where the pendulum is!

Poker - benefits on multiple fronts - suggests the Toby and Martial swap, but unsure on the third party in that scenario.

Or alternatively getting Zaha whilst shifting a couple of unwanted players in exchange

Simply a guess here - Herc saying "playing poker on three fronts to get what you want".

Front #1 - United with Toby and Martial. Has United finally buckled in regards to Martial leaving and will now possible do the Toby + cash swap?

Front #2 - We have not heard of any interest from anyone in DeLigt since May/June when he supposedly being quoted by Ajax near 70 mill. Have Ajax buckled and brought their price down closer to 50 mill, which according to ITK back in June (I think) is a level Spurs would go in at.

Front #3 - Grealish is done as Villa buckled?

Again this would be the ideal, totally optimistic interpretation.

Every transfer window i hope for a VDV style transfer that lands us with an experienced, world class talent.

There are some big players out there who seem to be touted out but seemingly have no takers (Bale, Di Maria, Thiago, Kovacic amongst others) and the fact that the ITKs are all excited but we aren't really linked to anyone good enough to warrant that excitement makes me think that this could be the summer where Dan finally pulls a stunner rather than the usual 2am fatties.

If these were the deals we are waiting on I'd get a one way ticket to Geneva and do a pub crawl, by foot, all the way back to London!

Come on Daniel O chosen one! Make my Swiss dream come true!

Whatever happens, my favourite Hercules itk this window is ‘ I hate capitalism’.
