By the sounds of recent ITK, about 3 more signings and the positions these are - seems like we are not getting Sessegnon this window. Gutted about this as I think if we don't get him this window, we will lose out to the likes of Man Utd next window when his fee and salary will increase by a lot! Hopefully I am wrong and we announce we have agreed some kind of deal with Fulham, even if we have to loan back for a season.
Good news from JJ that we are pursuing other targets - however, it seems like nothing is yet close on this and that we are going after targets with only 2 days left.
Would love a real big statement from the club on the 31st by announcing some real key players.... Hopefully this won't be another Frazier Campbell window!

Not sure how we interpret that...

Probably Ross Barkley mate. Given the 200 page thread on him 'n' all.

I take it from jj's ITK that the names we all know are near are actually sorted now and we have a few more names under the counter, I don't know that it means we are going for more than one of them though just covering all bases, if one drops out we still have the other option(s).

I think that's a very optimistic reading of JJ's info.
He seems to be saying that Barkley and Aurier are definitely on our list, but I'm not sure he's saying they're done.
Then I suspect it's the case that the names we don't know are more likely to be our backups from earlier in the window, which is why we are less likely to have known about them. It would be highly unusual for us to sign a proper big name player (or indeed a medium name player) without it having come out in the press or the ITK circuit first, unless we simply had that player on the backburner for when our other options don't work out.
Either way I'm not getting excited. We've been here before with positive ITK, but we all know things can and frequently do change with Spurs in the transfer window. So I'd be surprised if we brought in more than two players at this stage, including the youngsters we're after.

Maybe Hercules was keeping it a secret.

Doubt it. Herc seems to have been using the Like/Dislike ratings as proxies for Accurate/Inaccurate when people have posted some kind of analysis on the info that he has given this summer. Looks like Herc and JJ might have different info.

Bet he meant to click "like" and accidentally hit "dislike". I do it all the time and have to go back and change it.
Not really something to read into imo.

Something about big expectations?There was talk about ITK from Blaino a few pages back, and people wondering if he had a decent record. Someone on COYS has just vouched for his source.
Can't remember what the info was now though.

Hercules said on Saturday that he'd heard the agreement for Sancho was 'all but done', so maybe he's just disagreeing with this last bit from JJ:

Quite possibly so but nevertheless it would be remiss of us not to highlight it considering who they are.
Sure it'll be cleared up...

Re: Hercules' rating of JJ's post - has no one else noticed this trend so far this summer?
Just seems to me that maybe they have conflicting info.
EDIT - ignore me, this was Gards, not Herc. Go thank @Spurrific for correcting my memory as well as being a superior human being.
