Welcome Emi! 

I think JWP may have been our backup plan had City activated Luiz’s buy-back clause. 

I know this is probably an unpopular opinion, however I’d absolutely love it if we could get Dele Alli.

Admittedly he’s suffered a huge dip in form recently however, class is permanent and I really think Dean would get the best out of him. He’s still only 25, still a fantastic talent, with the added bonus of already having significant premier league and European experience and I’ve no doubt he would slot straight into our midfield and have a massive impact almost immediately. 

He does tick a lot of boxes for me and Spurs are apparently desperate to get him off their books, so potentially he could be available for as little as £25m which would be a real bargain.

So has his loan move officially ended now given that he’s ineligible against Chelsea?  

Personally, I think he still has a lot to offer. His linkup play in and around the box is excellent and he adds an extra dimension to our play which has been sorely absent for years.

I know a lot of people have been critical of his performances of late and some of that criticism may be justified. However, given the fact that he’s clearly not 100% match fit and possibly still recovering from a combination of both injury and COVID I’m willing to give the guy a break. When he’s fully fit and focused with full command of his abilities he is brilliant, and he was absolutely scintillating against Liverpool at the start of the season. 

I can’t imagine we’d pay anywhere near the reported £40m should management decided to make his move permanent. I think possibly somewhere around £28m would be more accurate.

Unbelievable! 

Welcome Morgan, never heard of you until last week so please don’t be poop. Thanks.

Should we get a 28 year old Lamela who never really hit it off in PL?

Yes! He's brilliant IMO. Was a key player in Pochettino's Tottenham side and was only dropped from the starting 11 when Mourinho arrived. 

Also 28 isn't old, you could argue that he is actually at the peak of his career. 

The only issue with this transfer is having to deal with Levy. 

Having said all that, if we could get only one Spurs player (even on loan) it would be Dele Ali.

If we brought king we would be nuts it is everything that is wrong with a signing.

He is 29, on 7 million a year, with 8 months left on his contract. 
although he is a decent player he isn’t a player who fits what we do.

If we have the money I’d rather sit on it and add it to a future window to buy a player that does fit.

Id rather 1 Buendia or Benrahma than 2 kings 

As I said, either way it's still been a great window. 

Can Benrahma play up front or just on the wing? (forgive my ignorance lol)

Can't see us going for Benrahma. If we wanted him it would already be done. 

Josh King though I could see and would be a good option. 

Agreed, although if we don't get King its still been an absolutely superb window for us. 

Wiltshire certainly had potential early on, but unfortunately his injuries have absolutely destroyed his career.

I'm confused...  Doesn't Premier League registration end tonight?  Loans out can continue to the EFL before their deadline, but we won't be able to register anyone inbound until January.

We can still sign players from the Championship up to 11pm on October 16th mate. 

Still a chance we could get a striker from the championship before the domestic window closes. My money's on Benrahma or King.

It's not the end of the world not signing anyone else internationally.

Cash and Watkins come from the championship so there may still be some quality we could add.

Is the Scottish window still open after today?

Think Scotland's closes today mate, so no domestic extension for them. 

Would still like another forward, but nevertheless its been an absolutely fantastic window IMO. UTV!

The lights are still on.... 

...but nobody's home! 

Anyone else bored with this thread now or is it just me?  I mean seriously it doesn't just need closing, it needs to be taken round the back and put out of its misery. LOL

Everyone gets a ten from me. Can't wait for MOTD2! 

This is incredible. UTV!!!

Gutted, Just had to return my new HS  Yes, I know I'm a bit of a fat b@stard these days but the fitment seems way off especially compared to other manufactures. Anyone else had any issues? 

Still think we'll get one more attacking player in, even if its only a loan. 

Fantastic signing. So happy with our midfield right now. 

Very exciting signing IMO, bags of pace, likes to create and has an eye for goal. Can’t be negative about that surely?
