I'm not going to ask the eds a question of how likely is it that Isco would come to North London. But oh my what a capture that would be!

Nkoudou + Isco today and I'll be extremely happy.

Any idea of the right back situation? Anyone taking Trippier, anyone coming in?

{Ed001's Note - Isco was signed because Zidane persuaded the club to sign him, it is highly unlikely he will leave.

Trippier has had a few offers, but the most likely move is a difficult one as West Ham want him but won't deal with Levy and Trippier is keen on a move there. Sunderland are also very keen but he is not so keen, still that does seem the most likely due to the bad blood between Spurs and the Hammers. Which is why it will be last minute, if it does go through, as Trippier is not keen. I just wonder if he would be interested in a return to Burnley? I also wouldn't rule out late interest from Everton.}

Okay. Thanks Ed. Even though your news were not so nice to hear ;)
Wouldn't mind Sissoko, but 30m pounds would be way too much for him I think. Very good on his day, but not the most consistent player.

Ed, if Trippier leaves, do you see us using Dier and Walker-Peters as cover for the right back spot atleast until january?

{Ed001's Note - I am shocked he is even under consideration, Sissoko just doesn't turn up often enough to deserve that kind of fee. It was not so long ago no one was interested because of the price being asked. Not sure if that means buyers have got more desperate or if Newcastle (who are desperate to get rid) have just dropped the price by a decent enough margin.

Wanyama was brought in to allow Dier to offer cover in the defence, without leaving a gaping hole in midfield. So I would assume he is going to cover for Walker until January, at least. I know you have been looking for a right back all summer, but I don't know of one arriving imminently so I have to assume that is the plan.}

Yeah. I'm with you on Sissoko. Tielemans most likely to stay at Anderlecht for now?

{Ed001's Note - I don't know about Tielemans, haven't heard anything for a few days, but he was set to stay last I heard yes.}

Ed, if we are so keen to let trippier go, why did we get rid of yedlin?

{Ed001's Note - you aren't keen to let him go, he is keen to leave though, he wants first team football.}
