Ed Aarons ‏@ed_aarons Tottenham agree deal to sign Marseille's Georges-Kévin #Nkoudou for £11m. Winger spoke to Pochettino on phone #thfc Source: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/jul/17/tottenham-agree-deal-sign-georges-kevin-nkoudou-marseille

Is it possible to be intensely relaxed?

STOKE CLOSE ON SOBHI Stoke City are closing in on the signing of Ramadan Sobhi, who arrived at the club to complete the deal this weekend, and boss Mark Huges can't wait to get started. ""We are hoping that (deal) is going to be concluded quite soon," he said following the Potters 3-0 pre-season loss to Burton Albion. "I met him last night and he seems a very mature young man and we've got high hopes for him, so I'm very pleased he's going to join us and I'm looking forward to working with him. "The Egyptian league isn't an easy league, so he's obviously capable of dealing with that aspect and I'm sure he will have an impact with us."

A fair few of those probably won't be around: Yedlin, Fazio, Bentaleb, Mason, N'Jie. I think Spurs are having a decent window. Looking to strengthen their spine for the champions league, not losing anyone at all & more importantly, all of their young players should improve next season.

A month or so ago both Ronald & Les, in separate interviews, said that we wouldn't need to sign many players. Les said this about our summer needs: So lets assume that we we wanted to sign 2 to 3 players before we lost anyone. After our 3 sales (Vic, Mane, Pelle) & add a GK to the mix - We already need 4 players before we've even added any numbers to last years group. Will certainly be interesting to see who we get linked too from here on out, and to keep an eye on who from the U21's catch Claude's eye.

If he wants to go, we should raise up the drawbridge like we did with Morgan & Vic and keep him for 1 more season. Losing Tadic / Pelle / Mané in one summer would be utter madness.

On trial at Yeovil. (Still under contract with us though) http://www.ciderspace.co.uk/ASP/news/news.asp?NewsItemId=25484

TBF, we probably need Kostic as well as Tadic don't we?!

I've no doubt that is true. Tadic is soul survivor of the "5 players that want out" that K,Billy mentioned some time ago. Lets hope we can get it sorted.

Unlike West Ham to break ranks and publicly mention transfers

£2m. Relative bargain by today's standards

Chelsea FC ‏@ChelseaFC It's official! Welcome to Chelsea, N'Golo Kante! http://che.lc/B8CUW9 #WelcomeKante

DOUBT OVER SAKHO'S WEST HAM FUTURE Diafra Sakho has refused to travel with the squad for West Ham’s pre-season tour to Austria, according to Sky sources. The striker handed in a transfer request earlier this month after the club publicly admitted its interest in signing a big-name forward. SSN understands two Premier League clubs, as well as Sevilla and Hamburg, have all enquired about Sakho’s availability.

SPURS EYE MARSEILLE WINGER Tottenham have joined the race to sign Marseille wide man George-Kevin N’Koudou, according to reports in La Provence. However, the north London club face competition for the France U21 international's signature from the likes of both Hamburg and Sevilla. N’Koudou, 21, is expected to cost around €15m.

Isn't that a 4-4-2 diamond?

& when they do (Vardy) they get rejected I'm expecting them to sign a diminutive attacking midfielder that they don't need any day now.

Re: Kante release clause.

I believe it was. He always impresses me pre-season.
