Where can one find all of LLM's ITK? It is not in the RO, right?

Rob posted today saying they are still trying to verify his contacts but its taking longer (and LLM has been very helpful) so until that happens it wont go into RO and just gets posted in the tread and soon gets lost in here.

"Gutted that this didn't come off. Don't blame Levy or Franco this isn't their fault and along with Andre have all put a lot of effort in making this deal happen, we thought we had done enough and had put a very good deal on the table to both the player and the club and believed we had done everything we could to make it happen, confidence was high. Effectively the player has chosen to stay in Spain for his last few years, you could say he has bottled coming to the Prem for not stepping out of his comfort zone or label it with something else. It is disappointing the manager hasn't been able to get his number one target in the striking position. This however isn't the first or will be the last time this has happened. Work has now begun on option two, wheels are in motion- however this doesn't mean you will see someone holding up a shirt in the next 24 hours- be patient we will get a striker this window.

POTL"

Fair enough POTL but we need two though!
With two good strikers we could win the league, without them we will struggle to make the top 4.

Just need to sign a forward in the next fortnight.
Baldini needs to start earning his 'spurs'.

We've chased him for a fucking month, what more can we do? Obviously more.

Read Scarlet's post 2 above yours with info from LLM and then address what more we could do.

Go to search, type in looklikemodric, find the member on the right hand side, go to his profile and cycle through his posts.

The comments do sound achingly familiar to ones from about the last 4 windows. "Not our fault. Player bottled it. Agent activity. Yada, yada, yada."

Paolo10 · Jul 9, 2013

Does it make it any less easier to take? Today is the first I've heard the reasons and I'm pissed off.

Yet more time wasted on a target that we couldn't get to come in the end. There's the textbook ITK now, "oh we did all we could".

Deadline day looms ominously.

The obvious answer to this would be Benteke, but i hope not... Might not be realistic either.

EnfieldYiddo · Jul 9, 2013

We still need to sign 3 more players IMO. Starting to worry if they will be of the quality we need. Hope we haven't all been led astray by the signing of Paulinho as a sign of change; we will see.

Perhaps but not at any price!!

Of course. Which is why a high value by Aston Villa, who don't need to sell, will make it very unlikely that we get anywhere.

Jamturk · Jul 9, 2013

There is a lot of noise that Benteke wants us over Chelsea, which in the scheme of things is positive I think.

walworthyid · Jul 9, 2013

I really don't get why so many people are getting their collective y-fronts in a twist about Villa? The man had offers, he chose one. He decided to stay in his nice , warm home country for the last few years of his career. A safer option where he doesn't have to adapt and that will give him the best chance of being in the world cup squad/team. We move on.

Also, we have just pulled off a major coup in signing Paulinho for a record transfer fee, we have apparently got other good deals in the pipeline, have kept Bale and AVB, have recruited Baldini, Kaboul is in training, Sandro is almost fit, we look as strong as we have ina generation. ALL of this is down to Levy, ALL of it. Yet people feel the need to have a major hissy fit every time something doesn't go according to plan.

We will pursue other targets, we will probably end up getting one.

Caim the f**k down you biatches!

Where is this noise coming from? If it is twitter, than it is probably worth ignoring.
