Right. Take the extra 4 hrs of dopamine while you can get it.
This entire thread is an exercise in watching hit after hit of dopamine myself included.

On to important stuff, this transfer window a mix regardless. We brought Ange in and that is huge. We've all seen it on the field. yet, we lost a generational player, but Ange's impact is just as leveraged as Kane's if not more so. (would you prefer Conte with Kane still here or Ange and this team?).

Brought in quite a bit of talent for now and the future all of which show upside. Ange is pretty good at coaxing that out. We failed to shift the deadwood (at least as of now). To be fair, we won't "know" how well we did until half way thru the season when we understand what these new players bring to the team after they are playing in Ange's system. or injuries decimate us esp in the CB position. Whatever happens for the rest of the day, so be it. I'm praying for at least a high quality CB. COYS

Haha, it sounds like the PR gang have been briefed ! 😂 But here's the latest: The deal for Gallagher is officially off; we've stepped away from the table. Pierre turned down Fulham's 30 million offer this morning. Atletico made a loan offer, but it wasn't reasonable, with just a 2 million loan fee and a 15 million purchase option - not happening. Sanchez is currently in talks with a club, and there's still a chance that could go through, but we'd need a replacement. Unfortunately, the Kelly deal fell through because Bournemouth isn't keen on late-window dealings off finding a replacement .

I hope you've all enjoyed my updates as they came in through this window and today . I apologise that we couldn't secure what we needed in some areas, but hopefully, Ange can work with this squad until January. Thanks for following along!

Fulham offered £30m? I bet Levy is seething

The frustration is, with not having moved on Sanchez, Lloris, Dier and Ndomeble, we’ll be in this same position again come January. Can’t bring anyone in till we’ve cleared space.
Rinse and repeat most windows.
In the interim, we’ll have paid another 4 months wages. Couple of £M spent on wages for players that don’t play that we could have knocked off the fee to get more bites.

No one can say ‘that’s all folks’ until Johnson is announced anyway.

Honestly didn't think we'd even sign BJ tbh. Let's hope Phillips is a Dele-like precocious talent at CB as a couple of injuries and Dav is the most senior CB at the club who doesn't turn like a fully-laden oil tanker.

We can do that after the deadline though, no?
If a player is paid off before the deadline he can sign for another club at any time. If he’s paid off after the deadline he can’t sign for a new club until the next window.

It’s rule 6 of FIFA’s transfer regulations.

PS. They can sign for a club in Saudi until their window closes.

Of course. Makes sense now, thanks.

Next time atleti calls, don't pick up the phone. 2 million plus an option... Lol. At least now we're stacked in midfield.

Thank you mate. You and all the ITKs and admins have been absolute stars all window.

Hopefully we can all forget it for a few months and enjoy the football, support the players we have on the books and see what happens.

You have nothing to apologise for. Levy on the other hand ….

Thanks for the info. Hojbjerg has two years left on his contract, so if 15m was the most anyone was willing to pay as an option for next summer, surely we take that, get his wages off this year's bill and free up a squad space. We aren't getting more than that next summer, and it'll cost us getting a top target in Gallagher.

I don't see the sense in holding onto a player who has no real practical value to us given he won't be playing much this season. Maybe I'm missing something.
