tbh guys, Harry Redknapp has been in football for over 40 years i think he can judge how good someone is at football than you haters.

thats so not true ....

i used to play the original FM on the sega ....i won the european cup with spurs ...has harry done that ??? no ...
so now youre armed with that info .
who is the better judge of a player?

 

[kcmei]

nice round up seems to back up most of the other itks.

 

[Misfit]

Inter are live on ESPN every week, it's hardly Galatasaray.

Muntari adds nothing to us, keep Jenas - there you go, I've just saved us from a lot of wasted time, effort and money and ended up with a superior footballer.

Quite. Another rumour that doesn't really make sense. Bring players in who are a definite improvement please. Yes yes, our squad is stronger so it'll be harder than it was, say, 2 yrs ago but we're no Barca. Plenty of players out therecould make this squad better. Eff this potential shuffling of the cards.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

he was far to good for BC!

?

 

[Mullers]

If we didn't get someone who was a clear improvement, I would actually like for Keane to stay and fight for his place.

Two (related) things stand in the way, however:

1. Harry clearly prefers Defoe and plays him even when form/tactics might suggest a change. (He actually went downhill because Keane left, in my opinion.)

2. Keane doesn't have the patience to put up with this, and would prefer to be #1 somewhere else. And when he's not happy, its obvious.

Champions league football might well change is mind also Defoe might need that operation, it doesn't look like we'll be getting a striker at the moment.

A message for Seville, stuff Fabiano up your arse if you don't want to accept our bid, I hope he walks away for nothing and you don't get a penny. :grin:

 

[gibbospurs]

i think the fella is referring to harry having seen muntari on a daily basis when he was his coach at pompey

oops... read it again, thanks buffalo. bed time for me,

 

[cookiemonster]

Insomnia is not the backup option....he's the cheaper option

Danny Levy all over for you

update from what ive been told:

cudicini - could still go to middlesbrough as pletikosa should be sealed before the deadline. with our 3 keepers being gomes pletikosa and alnwick (as he counts as a homegrown player) however with gomes getting injured were not sure about letting cudicini go.

hutton- interest from both birmingham and sunderland. struggling to agree a fee with both clubs. may go out on loan if we cannot agree a fee to get him off the wage bill. also could be offered to villa in part exchange for young.

naughton and walker- both available for loan many clubs interested. Naughton the more likely to go out on loan as harry is impressed with walker in pre season and training. Will listen to cash offers for naughton tho.

bentley - may also be offered to villa. hughes interested at fulham for a loan deal.

o'hara - unlikely to leave as he wouldn't pass a medical. perhaps may leave on loan but very unlikely. been offered to west ham for parker.

jenas - stoke really want him. jenas would rather stay. may also be offered to villa for young. will only leave if we can get someone in to replace him.

rose - many interested in a loan deal. newcastle and pompey both want him. like jenas will only leave if another midfielder/left sided player comes in

keane - deffo off. he wants to go to celtic. been offered to villa too. newcastle and sunderland interested in loan deals.

gio - attracting lots of interest from abroad. club want to give him one last season however if a good bid comes in he could leave. heard he was also offered as a sweetner in the fabiano deal (on loan)

fabiano - struggling to agree a fee with sevilla at the moment but he could still join as he is very interested to come and harrys 1st choice

parker - west ham don't want to sell but if the price is right he will be a spurs player.

diarra - mourinho has changed his mind and wants to keep him. will only come if we put in a big bid.

muntari - is an alternative for parker and diarra. harry rates him from his pompey days and does not see it as a gamble as he has worked with him before. also been told hes going for a good price and could be one of harry's bargain signings.

young - harry really wants him. cant agree a fee though villa asking stupid money. we have offered around 14 million cash and also offered them cash and player deals involving hutton,jenas and keane. this one could happen on deadline day. will go to the wire.

rossi - being looked at as an alternative to fabiano and hes going for around 8-10 million

KJH - trying to get him on loan with a view to a permanent deal however he looks very likely to join schalke on a permanent deal for around 12 million euros.

n'zogbia - wigan desperate to get rid. he is the back up option. been told we will put in a bid if we cant get our preferred choices. sunderland willing to offer more money than us though.

doubt i will post again this window as i have pestered my source for alot of info tonight! if he tells me anything more will post it guys!

cheers, lot of info to read there, fingers crossed.

I hope you're right.

 

[Rackybear]

I dunno, correct me if im wrong here, but as manager of portsmouth FC, whilst Muntari was on there books..Im hoping harry turned up for training everyday! Eek

Damn you get told a lot. Im guessing you had your notepad and pen out when your source was telling you all this, either that or you have a very good memory.

Sounds like regurgitated stuff from other ITK's tbh - nothing groundbreaking.

Every single one of these has been reported in the papers.

 

[CorlukaModric]

just copied and pasted what i was sent in an email mate! been hassling my source the whole weekend so he just sent me everything he was told!
some of it is backing up itk's info but my source does not visit this site so hes obviously hearing the same stuff as the other itk's mate!

 

[jrio]

Every single one of these has been reported in the papers.

Not exactly. There are nuances:

Retaining Alnwick as a homegrown player(a terrible reason to keep him)

Gio - Wanting to give him one last season

Diarra - Only for a big bid(something surmisable)

Muntari - A good price(as above)

 

[nferno]

thought u werent allowed to itk bash on here...

cheer for the info CorlukaModric.

 

[Bill_Oddie]

Thanks for the update, CM. Without knowing your source (I assume you've passed it onto the RoomArrangers/Mods) I can't verify the info but thanks for sharing. You might want to let your friend know that making guesses - however educated - about what will happen is a risky game, but status updates on what is actually going on are always hugely appreciated. A long update with 7 "coulds", 4 "mays" and several "likelys", "not sures" and "perhaps" generally raises eyebrows.

Ta muchly.

 

[Gary-22]

the transfer window closes in 19hours 30mins, do we really think Fabiano can get sorted? this day really could go either way it will be exciting thats for sure, ITK's i hope you got it right about Fabiano i really do
