And you assessment is based on what exactly?

More to the point though, who the feck else do we have any real chance of signing?

Benteke - don't think Villa will let him go for less than £20m
Michu - similar story here really
Osvaldo - made no noise about moving
Villa - not really the missing piece of the puzzle IMO and wages/age going to be a big challenge
Soldado - a possible and probably him and maybe one other on the list with Leandro in the hope we'll get one of them

I refuse to believe that there isn't any more strikers in the world that can do a job for us accept that lot.

All this palaver has affected me in more ways that I care to admit. I'm going grey, i've started having weird sexual fantasies and for some strange reason i've started eating wotsits by the case.

Anyway, toodle-pip, i've got to go see the doctor, for some strange reason, my willy has turned a disgusting orangey/yellow colour.

PS: No, that isn't a fucking cryptic.

In some strange ironic way, us actually properly moving on from Leandro is probably the best way to end up getting him. If we actually do start proceeding with other targets and genuinely try to bring them in, that'll be when Inter properly shit themselves and come in with a figure that will be amenable to us plus looking to get it completed asap. I could easily see all our ITK's quite rightly saying we have given up on him, for it to turn round the other way and have us actually sign him kind of out of the blue in the next month or so.

Best way to get a deal is when you actually think you don't want the item anymore, so the seller is forced into giving you a final offer on far better terms as a last resort in swinging you back round.

There is some truth in the Vermaelen link it seems. His agent has been putting out the feelers for suitable buyers, we have shown an interest. Dont know whether Arsenal would deal with us though

I say get him and partner Vert.... :D

No seriously, the sexual fantasies are horrible. No matter what the scenario, I end up strumming the mrs for 4 and a half minutes in the missionary position and that's it, nothing else. Not a dildo, buttplug, japanese admirals uniform, feather duster or anything like that in sight. Not even an albino dwarf FFS.

It's as if.....as if......as if i'm turning into one of you lot ;)

Just like I am not willing to believe any link to Leandro and would even question a picture of him holding our shirt with Levy giving him the PR handshake as a photoshop

I am not going to believe we have walked away from Leandro until he signs with a Russian side.

It's not so much where he goes, just that he does go so I can put this behind me.

exactly my point - When he is in, hasn't scored a goal. Obviously rest of the games injured- is this what we want ?


I would have thought the games in were when he was injured a bit as well. Either carrying a knock or recovering from. It isn't clear if he missed games through injury or through national team selection, although he was part of the squad for a Japan game in October 2012. Brazil played last night while league games were going on, teams were depleted. I know Damiao is injured and wouldn't feature but others are withdrawn from their club sides.

He has scored for Brazil since then and scored in each of his 4 previous games before the 23rd September. Yet to feature yet this season (5 games) due to injury and international duty.

If this is true then the worry is Levy will see it as us holding all the aces and take it to the wire like the LLoris deal. The risk then is we end up with nothing if it all falls through again.
Your implication is wrong. We did not take Lloris to the wire. We made an offer very early in the window, it was rejected, we walked away. Lyon came back to us very late in the window, the rest is history.
