Smells like agent bait, the Terrier "bid" - coincidentally as he's negotiating for a new contract.

I'm not sure I understand, if we have or haven't made a bid then surely his club would know? 

 

Edit - or are you saying the agent has lured us into making a bid? That would make sense.

Fresh names.

Be surprised if we get any of those calibre in within the last week. If anything prices will be higher than at any point in the summer.

[Barnes23]

Don't get any less tired of hearing about PL experience like, whatever the (supposed) source. 

[Emotic]

I'm sure PL experience would be preferred, sure - but I'm also quite certain that Eddie Howe appreciates that our best player also came from Paqueta's current club, without the benefit of "PL experience". Our club hierarchy isn't run by idiots any more, they just want the best, for the system, for the money.

[BeloEmre]

Wonder how many new names we will hear the last week ?

[Mazzy]

Wonder if we were one of the clubs interested. Seems like this rumour can be put to bed either way.

They obviously have their reasons but given Chelsea’s movement in the market signing CHO despite the risk seemed like a really obvious move for us given our weakness in the RW position. I’m gutted we haven’t gone for him. 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Maybe we did, says he turned down 2 PL options.

Going to be a canny week, you’d think. Helps to have a few games to break everything up, too.

Certainly feels like it’s hotting up

Going to be a wild week isn't it, hook it into my veins

[xLiaaamx]

Part of me still expects us to sign no one,  hard wired in to me to expect us to be left short of what we need

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I think there's a decent chance we'll fail to get our targets now. If every deal gets this slow and complicated there has to be a chance that we'll run out of time at some point.

 

Making first contact with a target with a week to go is one of the more risky ways to run the window.

Very much this. Risky way of doing it.

[LFEE]

It’s all bluff and counter bluff with clubs and agents. Each have their own reasons for the other to believe they are the only show in town.

 

Going to be a rollercoaster 7 days ?

You don't know that's what's happening though?

He’ll be going to Arsenal, I imagine.

Nah I don’t, just all these new names popping up.

Ah right. Well I assume they are either wild speculation or players that we've monitored for a while (eg Haidara)

"We are not saying we are going to spend silly money. We are not,” she added.

 

“I hope that in the next transfer window people will see we are not going to overpay for players or assets. If people think we will spend silly money, we will not.”

 

It's almost like they're trying to make a point of it...

[RS]

People thinking our new back-room set up is going to go all “sunderland ‘til I Die Griggs purchase” in the last week?
I’m sure there’s deals for players nobody has a fucking clue we’re after quietly being done. I’m expecting a few surprises over the next few days. (Pavlidis here yet?)

All our January signings other than Trippier were pretty much begun and finalised within a day or two, weren't they?
