Exactly, so you know it won't happen.
Personally I don't think we will sign another Central Midfielder. We seem set there with too many people as it is.
A striker at most.

Im pretty sure I'm late to this but Pato follows Woolwich on Twitter. I even checked the people/groups he follows. So is it safe to say "fuck this guy"?
Yeah, look at him, he looks like 6ft of pure muscle, doesn't he....really? He's slight and he's small.
Doesn't really look slight or small tbh
Dier has exceeded expectations thusfar, but I would feel much more secure with another trustworthy option there, especially if Mason and Alli are going to spend time up front.
My whole thing with this this is that I think that Toby's backup should be Dier. If Dier has to shift back to CB that forces us to go with Bentaleb at the moment as Dembele is injured.
I've been saying that I think that our biggest hole is DM the entire time. Yes, we absolutely need a striker, but Poch was correct in saying that we still have options that we can play there. DM is pretty thin at the moment.
We have bodies that we can throw there, but no one who can give us anything in terms of holding the ball up on the counter and being a presence in the box on crosses and corners. That's an unforgivable place for a team with Spurs' resources to be in.
love to see wanyama in DM.
CM with defensive attributes might be pretty thin, but CM's aren't.
Carol, Alli, Dembele, Bentaleb, Mason, Onomah, Winks, Dier.
Begs the question if we even play with a DM (I don't think we do) and if you think we do it leads us on to the question of why we have no DM's out of 8 CM's. Either:
A) We don't play with a DM
B) We do and Poch is an idiot for selling every DM we have
C) We do and Levy isn't giving Poch what he wants
Take your pick. From what I've seen and how every DM has been treated (Sandro, Capoue, Stambouli even Dembele being moved) I think A is the most likely.
If Dier isn't a DM, I'm not sure what a DM is.
Poch definitely plays his setup with a DM.
It doesn't have to be some kind of pure destroyer but we were bleeding goals last year, which I don't think the talent of our back 4 and GK reflects (especially with the dramatic improvement from Rose). Even if you quibble over who is a true "DM" we need someone who at least makes a priority out of shielding the back 4 and helping them to be on the front foot, and is capable of doing so. In fact, we have been playing with a clear cut "DM" this year in Dier. While he's done a job, I don't think we can just hand him the keys after 4 decent games against average competition (ManU included).
Cant even sort out a loan for Lamela in time....Yep, deadline day is a great time to move on things.

"we are happy with the squad and have 16 people that can play striker, if need be. The manager has always rated Adebayor too, he's a good lad. And the academy....look at Kane....the academy lads are all going to be Kane's too. The stadium, its futuristic....big me up, its got a kop, and the training facilites are world class. Time ran out, but we didnt need players anyway. Striker and DM was too obvious so I fooled the other teams by buying two wingers (my 3rd choices as an even deeper decoy) But dont worry, because the manager wont play them anyway as I signed them above his head. Probably sack him soon anyway. That Ranieri bloke is doing ok."

To go. Hopefully it'll be a busy one with some key out goings & a couple of in comings
Yes, I know the likelihood is that nothing will happen
Do you guys remember the deadline day with AVB? Didn't we sign 3 players and the official page showed interview during daylight, but they announced the deals in morning?
Son will bring Ki next season
Not long now until this bullshit is over with!
... Until, the January transfer rumours start in a few days time

10.5 hours to sign a striker.
I'm so glad we haven't left this late.
