Pity Burt didn't give an indication on Soldado - unlikely anyway I guess.

Bloody Arsenal, don't they have enough creativity ffs

I think he meant, he see himself as a deep playmaker and he played that role for Schalke the season before but I think he could be play there tbh but last season he was all over the place for us and don't think you could call him anything tbh except a runner.

I don't think that's entirely fair, I think Holtby was used in fits and starts in different positions and never really had chance to build any rhythm.

I don't think we have a chance if Arsenal have a bid accepted. I feel we have the edge over Liverpool though.

Everyone said that story came from espn.br ; but truth is that espn article, refers the source as daily mail - which apparently also ran a story of Liverpool & Spurs fighting for him.

Tbh, everyone's guessing. From Portugal reports, there were 5 clubs in for him - Porto, Spurs, Liverpool, BVB & Shaktar. Of this BVB has cooled interest and Porto were willing to go only till 17.3meuros (ie 50m Brazillian dollars). Arsenal speculation is primarily down to this news report.

May be there is real interest. But I for one, cannot see Arsenal going for a Brazillian at 21 million... If true, I would be gutted. But this interest has come so left field

On a tangent Yido implied Osvaldo was the most likely, I don't know much about him... Would he be good for us?

Osvaldo is young and much loaned.
Does not seem to score hat loads but has potential.
Not a "finished article" player but worth a punt IMHO

He's a good player and he'd bring a certain flair to our side (both in play and off the pitch). If the prices are similar between him and Soldado and both are interested in joining, Soldado has my vote without a second guess.

Is Soldado worth it at his age tho?
Valencia will want a decent purse for him - is there not better out there for £20m.

Edit: this always said Valencia. I have not been drinking.

Loving the proactive sound of the Burt artical. Struggling to not get my hopes up about Bernard, would love him at the club. Prob end in heartbreak as that seems to be the theam of this window but what the hell... It's all part of the ITK roller coaster, if we didnt love it and only wanted facts we would only look at OS.

If we sign Bernard, it confirms that we are building for the future and the future will be attacking flair.

Is he what AVB wants? Is he what we need?

I can concur with nearly all of the Yidio ITK very good.

However we were talking about a deal for Benteke but 'the deal in principle' was grammar used to me that was obviously just a bit of excitement or hearsay from within.
Now i have the dilemma that this is an ITK thread so i pass on all my info for your entertainment but when something goes amiss you feel like you are just justifying your reputation all the time as to whether you are genuine FFS!
We just pass on info all the time for your ITK pleasure.
I wasnt always ITK so i know what you are like but truckloads and i mean truckloads of salt are needed as things change so much and there is so much bullshit out there in football world like you have never seen before!
So after saying all of that I have chosen SC as the place of my ITK due to the humour and dildo action of A & C so can you please donate to Rob to keep it going as it is great fun in here :)

Do you know if we as a club considered Rebic ?

I genuinely think you should funnel things through the Goat unless you are 100% convinced.
It would also mean that when you provided ITK via your own account it would be super strong.
Anyway, i'm in charge of precisely nothing and it's a free community but that's just my 2 cents.
Fuck it, sell t-shirts as well.

Hopefully Franco has convinced the naysayers internally about Bernard. would be a great buy but i'm sceptical with you lot and see it as 50/50 atm
