Very strong rumours of Ronaldo to United doing the rounds, that would provide the money for Bale then.

We'd have to be idiots to let Real sell the second best player in the world to a rival and then provide the replacement.

""If it doesnt work out as you say dont take it personally as the punters can be a bit tetchy......"" - JJ Quote to Mystery

Why would he say this?

Still not convinced Real have the money nor that the players we might want from them would want to come.

No deal for me, Noel.

Mystery is so certain. Yet JJ is rarely wrong and sticking to his guns and even explaining why all the other positive ITK could be wrong.

For that reason, I think JJ's info would be proved correct. :-(

JJ, one thing I've always wondered and I'm not sure if it's been covered before, are you the person in the know or do you have a source?

I may get shot down for this but IMO bale seriously papered over 2 major weaknesses last year. One has been sorted by signing Soldado but the other ie a serious lack of creativity has not. If bale goes and we don't buy a modric type I don't see us getting top 4,even with the signings we have made.

I think that jj knows we are willing to sell at the right price and we are discussing a possible deal. It's just seems that Madrid don't have anywhere near the amount suggested. They must be trying to through players into a deal which totally complicates the deal.

For some reason other are hearing different???

I just hope this doesn't drag on into the start of the season as its not good for team morale.

Sounds like a good summary. And quite feasible. The thing is, I'm not sure I see Madrid being able to pay the cash up front, or provide us with players that are attractive enough to us to be interested, and will then agree to join us and play in the Europa League within our wage structure. Unless of course, either a) we're going to accept a deal in instalments over 3-5 years (booooo), b) we're going to get mugged off with the Spanish equivalent of Frasier Campbell (booooo), or Madrid are selling Ronaldo to United and will fund the deal with that (oh shit).

United seem very weak if they don't make massive investment next year, the thing is, even though they have massive history, plenty of trophies, can Moyes repeat what SAF achieved? I really dont think so.

I'm just going to say this we are all eager to believe the positive ITK over the negative one

But has jj ever had anything wrong?

He is also the one itk that told me outright we were signing Nelsen & Saha at the time I thought JJ was smoking crack! Soon had egg on my face the next day when Nelsen and Saha were announced!.

As far as itks go I would say JJ is the closest to the oracle as you can be.

So lets not bash him or harass him for info he will pass on what he knows

Hi Agr,

To answer your question, yes i have got things wrong in the past, i have been informed of stuff that hasn't happened or has completely changed, nothing however has been been made up which is a different conversation!

That is the risky business of passing on stuff you can be a hero 1 day and look like a complete tit the next. So when you receive ITK on here etc you should always play the ball and not the man . Its a bit too risky for me now that's why after this window i will be hanging up my boots. I know i have said that before this time its for real.....

I honestly think they will be fighting for the last 2 champions league spots (after chelsea and city) with us, arse, and maybe liverpool.

I'll probably get in trouble for saying this.

I know who JJ is.

His info is 100% reliable (insofar as it is actually what is said in board meetings and even some other meetings that are more "closed" than those.)

He is a spy. Dressed as a pot plant. In the corner of the board room...

I've said too much!
