‘GLC is extremely close. Almost there, and contrary what any leaks saying ‘offer knocked back’ is not true. Sess and twin looks good as there. Due to injury and package. Steven is the package deal, but not sure if both him and Sess. Sess is almost certain. I am not that brave to say anything more confirming. Expect Tripps to go, with little help from us’

Subject: Dani Ceballos

Wasn’t putting this in the ITK thread. But decided best I do, rather than player thread.

Our Daniel would never entertain fattening a cow for someone else to eat. Very bad business. Only with ‘Option’ in our favour. And that goes for any player! I would suggest this player is being ushered to us by RM, and for us to accept. Then they press the button for their local rag to put this out there.

We do have a very good relationship with them mind you. That is why I said ‘All eyes on RM’. Little way to go.

Subject matter is the player/s being leaked to the media that we have agreed as ‘loan only’.

I am guessing this is Dani Ceballos? I thought we don't do loans? Would rather just pony up if he's a player we want. If he shines in our setup that will just drive up his price. Seems counter-intuitive.

Whoops. Forgot to add the subject line. Post updated

Subject: A few bits mostly regarding outs.

CE. Wants out, is desperate for Madrid. They are keen however only see him as a squad player not as a galactico first team starter. This is causing pricing issues, as we have a price Madrid don't want to pay it, eriksen is in turn getting pissy!

Toby verrrry likely to still go, no idea who to,(plenty of rumours) as the clause in his contract means no one has had to negotiate with us.

Trips. Probably going.

There are others that could still go out, but as things stand these three are closest/most likely to go.

Still pushing hard for Lo C, he's definitley top of the hitlist atm. We want it done early this week. Have been told this next few days are big as far as knowing where we stand on certain deals are concerned.

Anything in the Zaniolo rumours I keep reading? Dunno if any of the ITK have been reading and regurgitating the same stories?

Nothing. Anything I read I relay here so you would have seen it

Cheers Brah. I've seen it in a few rags, but in all honesty we never know until we know.

Agreed. Good news, but for a half second I thought Toby and Eriksen... and then was let down

Or Ceballos and Lo Celso

So much activity with sealed lips behind closed doors. The well under 21 player is expected to happen, it is a tricky situation at present. RM not showing the eagerness either financially, or otherwise for CE. He has a deadline which is very close now, to commit. And I won’t go further on that. All the other plausibles & possibles, coming out of the media arm of RM, is deliberate leaks, with little enhancement on truth to move out some of their players to us.

Our targets are rigid and firm, and you know this already. And from what I am hearing, we won’t divert spending our funds elsewhere, until we satisfy all I have stated regarding ‘targets’. There is no panic from our end.

Quite a few of our young potential academy kids we are aiming to loan out to the right clubs. This pre-season is key for Troy Parrot, as he may become integral part of first team squad.

Just to add, we are getting quoted 25m plus sterling equivalent for 18 year olds, that can be argued if they are better than Troy. Expect totally different playing formation this season

We have money but can't splash 70 m everywhere with 150 k a week wages, soon end up like Arsenal.

Subject: Why no ITK with so much news about outgoings

This is going to sound like a massive ****tease but several of our ITKs told us about Trips and Rose several days ago and have been keeping us updated but were told absolutely not to make it public.

I know that's frustrating and sounds like revisionist bull**** but it is true. That's the main reason the ITK thread has been empty for a few days, everyone was sitting waiting for this news to break so they could start talking again!

Subject: who will we sign

the brothers at Fulham , Ceballos will either go to us or scum and if we can get nkoundou and Jansen out then Lo Celso will happen , as I try to explain on here all the time levy is way more about our wage bill than our net spend

There is an outside chance on bale , Madrid would have to hold our hand on the deal though big time we will not break our wage structure for him or anyone else will go to final days of window and really comes down to how bad madrid want rid and if bale wants first team football or just pick money up

If rose goes to Everton I think will take their left back but that’s more of a hunch than itk
Eriksen is a day to day situation Madrid are miles off I’d be guessing as in total limbo now

GKN and VJ, Does NOT determine our bid for GLC. The issue there, as from couple weeks ago, is their unrealistic figure that they want for him. Nobody out there is going to give them 75m for him!

On this one, NOBODY, absolutely NOBODY is going to pay them 75m for him!

Suppose it depends on who you want out and who you want in, but I'm happy

Could I say something to the bedwetters please. We got in circa 10-12m for Dembele, and never replaced him. We have now with TN. We have now sold Tripps for call it 23m. That is circa 35m total. And a initial circa 53m on TN, we are down 21m, and JC, with a loan back. Very little paid down. How the hell do some shit themselves that we have to sell?

I hinted enough about the RB, and Tripps likely exit next etc, and we would recruit from within Foyth. There are very close pending deals going on. And I won’t say no more than that. And I still expect the Sess/s, and GLC to happen, with couple others.
