Dani Olmo

[mil1lion]

I'm kind of hoping the ITK are only knocking this back because they dont want to draw too much attention to it with so much competition for him. I would be surprised if we're not in the mix to sign him though.

 

[Ruffinthepuffin]

I would absolutely love us to be in for him. ?

 

[he is you know!]

I now have to believe everything Harry Hotspur says?

Only if any of it turns out to be true.

Doubt it. JJ doesn't tend to poo poo something as a smokescreen. He just doesn't comment on it at all.

True, but things can change. I’ve been around long enough to rate JJ’s info as much as any other poster, but I distinctly recall him saying the Toby signing wasn’t happening when it first appeared in the press. That was an odd transfer though with the way we nicked him from under Southampton’s noses, so obviously something changed late on.

Maybe it’s the case here? Although until it’s picked up by a few more independent, reliable sources I’ll still stick by the view that’s it’s bollocks.

Just feels like a press leak for someones benefit (not Spurs), maybe the player and his agent? Pressing someone else into bidding or flushing out those other teams who have been linked?

Doesn't do us any harm if we're still linked with others at this time.

Sarge?

 

[Nodutus]

So if we are to believe that, we're Olmo-st there on this one?

Can I get your coat Sir?

Tottenham best positioned to sign Olmo, according to AS. I should probably add that this guy is considered one of the most reliable journalists in Spain for Spanish youngsters, according to my Spanish twitter-feed.

No one from AS is reliable.

JJ has said this isn't happening, and Alasdair Gold has dismissed any interest - and all his denials have been right, much to our frustration last summer.

Sarge?

This feels an awful lot like that Portuguese chap from a month or so ago where the media kept insisting everything was agreed... and then nothing. Spanish press is almost as unreliable, don’t do it to yourselves!

I dont think JJ said we wasn't interested did he? Only denied the stories that we're already signing him.

 

[ilya]

We never sign spanish youngsters, though there's always someone linked..

 

[CrouchPotato]

Always knew ‘Tottenham Hotspur ITK’ on Twitter was reliable
(I’m joking btw, before people lose their shit)

“I just got off the phone with Dani Olmo’s nan, she reliably informs me that he doesn’t like Croatia and would like to play for Spurs” this is literally his average post, hate that guy

He said it wasn't because it wasn't and then Southampton cocked up with a clause in his contract being time linked then we made a move

He said 'not happening' which is about as clear as you can get.

Fucker’s right. Put your semis away, boys

 

[mil1lion]

That's more opinion than fact though. Probably based on the top clubs in europe chasing him too.

What?

JJ said it wasn't true. Twice. He was then asked again 'Is that no deal or no interest?' and he said 'Not happening'.

He couldn't be clearer.

That's not true. I had a deep-dive into this guy he's deemed as highly reliable for anything to do with Spanish youngsters, basically from U17 and up. Has had this "reputation" for years in Spain.
