Nothing spectacular but an update none the less.

1 very close 2 close-ish, 1 more hopefully on top of that but proving difficult atm. 2 to go one possibly on loan. Nobody at the club panicking yet it was always expected to be this way. Plenty of rumours doing the rounds one of which I haven't seen mentioned yet and would a superb buy, mate is trying to get confirmation from a more reliable contact before I mention it though.

I know it's getting late on but it's not quite panic time yet.

Thanks Trix.

To be fair the last few weeks have brought plenty of positive indications so while I expect that panic may still creep in towards Transfer deadline day at least we haven't had weeks of it.

 

[dk-yid]

Let's see, where to start........

I think we should leave the guy alone now, he took enough stick yesterday and all it's going to acheive now is to ruin this thread for him.

Fair point. Hope Hot Spur comes back in and doesn't take yesterday's mayhem to heart. (mostly) all in good spirit.

 

[thePessimist]

My take on Trix's info:

1 very close - Barkley
2 close-ish - Sancho and Aurier

Cheers Trix. Sounds positive, hopefully we have it all in hand. In this madness and uncertainty Levy seems to do his best work....

We were panicking 40 days ago

My take on Trix's info:

1 very close - Barkley
2 close-ish - Sancho and Aurier

One proving difficult - Sancho??

2 to go, Wimmer sold & Sissoko loaned.

My take on Trix's info:

1 very close - Barkley or foyth?
2 close-ish - Sancho and Aurier

 

[SpursDave88]

I would say consensus before the season started would have been that we needed to add a midfielder and a forward. Instead we have sold our best RB and signed a CB. still a very long way to go to get this squad ready for a title challenge.

 

[Teddysmith]

Looks like the ITK we've had about it being busy at the end has been right, therefore I'm strapping in and enjoying the rollercoaster of these last 6 days!

 

[arunspurs]

1 very close : Foyth
2 Close-ish : Aurier & Barkley. But Aurier is not up to us though
2 to go on loan - CCV & Nkoudou
1 proving difficult - Sancho based on today's media reports
1 possible super buy - no idea

 

[VertongHen]

Hertyid about the Sancho deal hold-up on COYS:

This is not about money. Fee was already agreed and he can go to tribunal next year. If Dan's info is right then there must be something else to it.

(Dans info was some random bloke on Twitter saying we'd given up on trying to sign Sancho, I'm not sure how reliable this Dan guys info would be )

 

[FibreOpticJesus]

2 to go, Wimmer sold & Sissoko loaned.

Wimmer sold. CCV loaned? Foyth close. Sancho and Aurier close-ish I have a feeling Barkley might be January. I like the idea of Trix's left field "superb buy".

Ban-stick alert!

Very informative as always. Thanks.

But what do you mean "don't panic". I'm a Spurs fan who is a SC Transfer Rumours junkie. Panic is what we do.

ISCOOOOOO ​

So last week I made a comment about tracking the private jet we often hire (G-THFC) on flightradar. I just checked today and it seems that it's no longer trackable (at request of it's owner). I think they're watching us...

Me too. I think I'll take the Eric Cartman "Freeze myself until the wait is over" approach

I tried looking this up last week and got the same 'not trackable' response. Must've been locked down very close to you suggesting it.

If we end up with Aurier, Sanchez, Foyth, Barkley and maybe Sancho, only losing Walker from serious core first team, it'll still be a success of a window for me. Nothing marquee level, but some very clever business. Adding contract extensions as suggested yesterday morning for Dier and Toby, fantastic. I'd guess there'll be other players new contracts to follow too, based on past form.
Anyone else incoming, the left field super signing Trix alludes to, would just be a bonus.
Just got to sit back and hopefully chalk them off the shopping list. Fingers crossed boys and girls.

Given our budget, I think that would represent an outstanding window personally.
