The signings will come, tomorrow,
If we have to beg, or steal, or borrow,
Let's all say.
Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you, tomorrow,
You're always a day away.

Have thought JJ might be wrong on this one, especially after reading the quotes from Rennes chairman this weekend:

Speaking after Rennes defeat to Lyon on Saturday, club chairman Frederic de Saint-Serni, said: 'He has a concrete offer from England.'

Yep, but that's from "Jim'll Mix It" - The No.1 choice for Concrete in London*

*Other concrete suppliers are available.

**This is a straight up name I found! Classic!

If we're moving more to a proper 4-3-3, like AVB used at Porto and Chelsea, I'd argue that M'Vila might suit us better than Modric - it seems to be one destroyer (Essien/Mikel = Parker/M'Vila), one box to box (Ramires = Sandro) and one more attacking player (Lampard = Sigurdsson/VDV). Then again, AVB did want Modric at Chelsea...

I think Sandro and M'Vila could also swap roles in that scenario. Descriptions of M'Vila state that he's much more versatile than simply being a defensive presence. As a result, they could be an ideal pairing.

hmmm

Don't know or care much about his stats, whenever I've watched him play he looks like the perfect number 9, particularly for a team with two wide forwards and a 'number 10' sitting just behind him. He's big, strong, great with his back to goal, has a great touch and is good in the air. He reminds me of Berbatov in his prime, but isn't such a lazy tosser. They are the reasons I wet my knickers over him, although I can't speak for anyone else.

So, are you a Yidette or just kinky?

The building firm 'Ministry of Sand' pips it for me though...

 

[SpurSince57]

I thought that was when commolli was said to be feeding them info though, wasnt that said at the time?

Not saying that their whole sports team relies on a shit director of football for all its info though obviously!

It was certainly suggested. Of course, I would never level such an accusation at Damo.

 

[King of Otters]

hmmm

That is..........stunning, just stunning.

no nor would I, he was too busy being inept to do anything else!

 

[Grey Fox]

I trust JJ.

This is just the standard news reports followed by a flurry ITKS trying to claim a done deal first BS. IMO

Never claimed it is a "done deal" I said we have definitely made enquires, JJ was stating we were not interested, but that is not what I heard. Different sources with different info.

I actually work for Jim'll Mix it! Lol

 

[gazzeh]

I for one would welcome M'vila, Parkers not getting any younger, and he could play with Sandro and an AM in a three.

Jus' sayin'

I don't - just googled it! Well you could have given me a 'like' or something. Free advertising!

I'd be surprised if there were many people who'd be against M'Vila if we had unlimited resources. But as we have Sandro and Parker I'm just not sure that position is a priority at the moment.

I agree that it's not a priority. But perhaps our Priorities are already sorted, and we don't know it?

We can but hope.

 

[SpurSince57]

No-one's said it's more reliable than JJ, just that it had a spectacular run of scoops on our signings in 2006-2007, way ahead of the ITKs who were around then, and is therefore not to be dismissed. It's not the Daily Mail.

 

[L-man]

That's that done.

Spoken to M'Vila camp, who say he'd only leave Rennes for a club in Champions League & currently no interest from CL clubs in England #thfc

Well that rules us out then if true, can't say i'm that disappointed either.
