Can a Rakitic thread be started if there is ITK on him, but no media article? If so, can one of the mods or @THFCSPURS19 start one please.
Think we were only one of of the few clubs that was eligible due to our accounts showing profits
Rakitic would be an incredible signing, absolutely incredible.
But that’s only if you take the ITK without salt (not recommended) and take it all at face value in the exact timing and sequence you receive it.It’s very scattergun... a couple of weeks ago we had PEH inbound, talks with a RB advanced and Wilson sounding imminent. With Jose also wanting a 2nd RB, CB and a LB. Present day PEH has signed but it’s now one in one out and/or TN must be sold to fund incomings.
We had ITK’s naming Celik, Castagne and Aarons but now we apparently want Doherty who’s going to cost more than the max amount all of the ITK’s have stated that we’re prepared to pay.
Outgoings - Aurier was pretty much gone but now no one will pay what we want.
It’s all coming across as a standard disorganised window.
He did play in a world cup final...Looked alright tome with this bloke called Modric!He’s not been great for at least a season and a half mate

The same was said for Moutinho.He’s not been great for at least a season and a half mate
Apart from the other 17 or so right now? This particular retort is getting boring now, too.
Also, ITK have said that it's about moving players out, not a cashflow issue.
Great info. Thank you @Trix. Have a good Wednesday ...Indeed. Not exactly one in one out, but we need to shuffle the pack to make room. Non HG is an issue, making it more like a Soduku puzzle than just filling in the blanks.
DL has one eye on another potential lockdown(many experts saying it'veey possible) happening in the winter, and another large loss of incoming revenue. We are trying to maneuver in such a way that should this happen, we will feel as little impact as possible.
Outgoings are always an issue for us mainly because DL tries to extract the absolute maximum out of every one. We usually get it, but it takes a lot longer to happen. I said a month a go TN was a goner, that looks to be almost certain now. Bids for both him and Aurier, and shifting those two clears the way.
Still expecting at least 2 in and likely a 3rd
I know it feels like we are living in the Graham years or late AVB years Signing Dempsey, Siggy from mid table teams instead of really improving the squad. Not quite a transitional season but a season of trying to build on a squad that has major holes and little high potential players in key areas. Most of our team are at the peak of their abilities/prime:£30m on a mid-table player who turns 29 in January is.. something.
We have a big lack of creativity imo Lo Celso alone is not enough so I think a 3rd signing is absolutely necessary if we can’t get anything out of ndombeleTbh the positions that we really need is RB and CF. AMC maybe but I see it as a bonus
