What annoys me about JJ's comment is that it's so clear and to the point that even the most skilful spinster can't come up with a creative way for it to mean that it might still.

This window!!!

Am I correct in assuming that by JJ saying "good player", we don't see him as good enough? As other ITK has suggested we don't want good, we want excellent.

No. You’re reading way too much into something that is simple. Good player but for whatever reason we’re not signing him.

Last nights 6 hours of hype was remarkable, just for JJ to come ruin it all. :shifty: That's all we're gonna get for this window boys!

This is why transfer windows are my favourite time of the year.

It’s like watching a game show where the question is, “when someone says player ‘x’ is a good player what do they mean?”

A) The person making the statement thinks player ‘x’ is a good player
B) The manager thinks player ‘x’ is a good player
C) The club thinks player ‘x’ is a good player.
D) The club thinks the player isn’t good enough.

So I get to sit back and witness the mental gymnastics as people twist themselves into somehow picking option D.

Poch had already stated we've more chance promoting our own than buying, personally I like the idea of promoting its more sustainable and much more rewarding.

Do you not realise that we are largely where we are by signing players from other clubs? Most of our best players are foreigners.

It isn't possible to sustain our league position or improve it just by promoting youth. We NEED to sign top players from outside. It's just simple common sense.

Perhaps Poch can offer his mom a night out on the town with him. An 'indecent proposal' if you will. Not sure Mrs. Poch would be keen. But hey, sometimes you gotta take one for the team!

In this case I think we need to up the ante a bit:

Poch : Hey Adrien, it’s Poch here
Rabiot : Who?
Poch : Maurichio Pochettino. Tottenham Hotspur manager.
Rabiot : Never heard of them. I’ve no interest in talking to you.
Poch : well, what if I told you I’m good friends with your Mum. In fact, I met her for lunch today.
Rabiot : what?! Wait, I’m going to ask her.
Poch : don’t think she’s in Adrien
Rabiot : what do you mean? I’m just waiting for her to call me down for dinner once I finish playing my computer games. I’m doing really well on Football manager, but some annoying bald chairman keeps trying to buy me by making incremental £5 bids.
Anyway, how do you know where she is?
Poch : just go check Adrien. Go check. Yeah, go check it out.
Rabiot : you’re bluffing. I’m going to check......

Rabiot : What the hell have you done with her?
Poch : calm down Adrien. You know a guy called Houdini from Spurs Community? We go back a long way.
Rabiot : Oh fuck.

Wow, what happened in this thread last night. By the looks of it I have 13 pages to go through. Anyone want to give me a quick summary? I can't see any ITK on this so it must be something else
