I do, I just don't understand why you're losing your mind over something that's not a big deal. He wasn't going to play against Toronto whether we announced him Monday or tomorrow.
You dont know that he wouldnt play. Rose is awful and by all accounts has been lazy in training. If Poch could drop him for Davies, I think he'd do it in a heartbeat

Surely we have to wait for Gylfi to agree terms and pass his medical with Swansea before we confirm Davies...this is a swap deal after all.

It's a preseason game. I don't think he'd drop Rose for a kid who signed 2 days ago. Especially if we end up keeping Rose. Not good for squad morale and I think Poch knows better.

You need to stop being so reactionary.

Didn't Lewis Holtby land at the airport on the day he signed wearing a full replica kit he bought in Germany and then play 90 minutes against Norwich immediately after signing, with tree pen he brought himself just in case there wasn't one in Levy's office? *

If he could do that, I reckon Davies could play tonight having trained with the squad.



*Based partly on a true story. Some dramatization added to story.

A fax has just arrived with a far bigger counter offer from Chelsea. Davies and Vorm now "weighing up their options"

Newsflash update!!!

Davies has handed his Spurs training shirt back, Poch is shaking his head and seems to be in tears.

Vorm HAS signed though, after successfully breaking both of Hugo's wrists in non-contact training.

Cue all the likes from this first class info.........:)

Final Newsflash!!! (Due to being strongarmed away by 2 hench dwarf female security guards)

Poch now on his knees in front of Rose rather closer than I would have thought wise.......

I like this outrage. It's good. I would like to be the kind of guy that gets outraged over something I know nothing about and without knowing the facts or circumstances. It's the kind of attitude that will get UKIP voted into government because the immigrants are "coming over here, stealing our money, marrying our daughters".

For everybody having a shit-fit over Davies training and not being announced, isn't there a much better reason than just (what I assume is being taken on here by many, as) club incompetency.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that those who are outraged at this "situation" have about as much idea about how transfers work as I do. My experience of transfers and the intricacies of how they work, stretches as far as Football Manager 98 on the Amiga.

In conclusion, give it a rest. None of us can possibly know the reason behind Davies not being announced, but you can be assured at least, I"m sure, that there actually is one.

SSN saying they expect the transfers to finally go through today.

I have my reservations about that...
