Well still a bit of optimism remaining.

Not going to lie, if we sign one of Martial, Zaha or Kovacic I'd settle for that now. Not all playing the same sort of position, obviously, but I'd take that because that's the A list we seem to be considering/trying for.

Obviously a 'B' lister to accompany one of those above would be expected.

5 Statements from hertyid and not one of them shows us being imminently close to doing anything at all, optimism is slowly dying. Regardless, thanks for the info!

I imagine, at this stage, things will be a bit "tighter" as deals get closer - the obvious situation being that we're not the only club that is gasping in this market.

I would imagine we'll have two extremes at the mo, ranging from "maybe" to "done" with very little inbetween, due to the sensitivity of things. Just guesswork though, but that's how I'd have thought the land lays.

The thing about Sissoko is, is there any point in getting rid IF we dont have a replacement for the positions he covers?
I completely agree that we wouldn't want to weaken the squad. However:
A fair bit of Sissoko's playing time has been RW/RAM. With Moura added to the squad in January and Lamella back from a long-term injury, we have far less need for him in that role than a year ago.
If we are trying to sign a CM and it looks like Dembele is staying put for now, someone else probably needs to be shifted.

If there is no hope in Kovacic, Hertyid wouldn't even be including in his wish list. Fact he is not ruling it out , means atleast there's a chance. :cautious:(y)

A quick round up by Hertyid

We have plenty of money
We are not signing Rodriguez
Dembele might stay
Kovacic would be nice
still 72 hours of mayhem to go

Surely the mention of Kovacic means something, especially when it’s in the context of other info which is ITK

Otherwise why hasn’t hertyid mentioned all the other hundreds of players that would be nice? Messi, Hazard, Sergio Ramos and Modric would also “be nice”.

Hopefully something actually happens tomorrow, if not I unfortunately don't see us bringing in more than one player.

Now fully erect, which means Golf tomorrow will be tricky.

Difficult to judge but HY sounds reasonably optimistic. Although having plenty of money and spending it are two very different things!

If you say someone has come in for him then you are raising the possibility of a transfer, and therefore of him leaving, no? Seemed like an obvious inference to me. *shrug*

Then we have signed a shit load of player this window with the amount of players we have been in for!!
