Harry Kane

[domalino]

For all we know we have deals signed and sealed for Grealish and Kane

You don't actually believe this, do you?

Nobody on here has a clue, unless of course your saying its impossible.

I must confess I bought into the hype that these were done deals but beginning to realise that frankly, we are nowhere near either player being confirmed.
Whilst I 100% trust the club to do what's best I can't help thinking along the same lines as you on this.
If players have been earmarked well in advance with personal fees agreed with agents etc then hanging around too late into the window negotiating with the clubs could well bite us on the arse.
I do accept this window is slightly different with the season ending late, euros just finishing and players getting much needed breaks. Obviously these have the potential to delay things slightly, but I'd be disappointed if we start the first couple of games without securing at least one of our main targets.

Yes, I'm quite confident in saying the club does not have "signed" deals with Aston Villa and Spurs for Grealish and Kane without anyone from any of the 3 clubs or 2 players camps leaking it to the press.

We dropped 5 points last season because Dias arrived late.

I hope the club isn't going to make the same mistake again with it's transfer business because we're unlikely to get away with cheaply chucking away points at the start of the season again.

Correct and we have a very hard start

Didn't us missing out on Alves start the knock on effect with us then being made to overpay for Mendy which meant Walker cost more too?

No.

Not getting deals done early enough then eh,good job for the competition of the league,as we would have it sewn up by Christmas if we did.

Alves was going to be on a free, no? Not sure how that makes us overpay for a left back and Walker

If I remembered rightly when we missed out on him the stories at the time were that Monaco and Tottenham were likely going to ask for more knowing we were a little bit more I'm urgent need of a fullback due to Alves shafting us.

And then we ended up paying up more for both than what was speculated prior to the Alves collapse. So I presume it fits together.

for all we know we've already won next year's CL, we'll just have to wait and see
