It's getting a real drag reading about rep all over SC.

Leave the house and get a blowjob you sad fucks.
Any blowjob that you get outside....because you went out to get it...would be a questionable one

@Larryjanta. What's to dislike about this? Spiteful little fucker, aren't you? Why can't you just hold your own opinions, without trying to neg rep other people, just because they happen to disagree with you on certain occasions?

I would imagine that almost every SC member has disagreed with the posts of others. This is part and parcel of a forum. But to hunt down an individual poster, and neg rep them is just vindictive, and takes the "Community" out of Spurs Community.

What in God's name are you on about?

I'll remove it if you're so goddamn precious about someone on the internet disliking your post.

edit, OK, removed, Princess, can't guarantee it wont happen again but I'll try my hardest to give you a gold star next time

Listening to the Krueger interview and he says "we are at a point where we are not selling Jay Rodriguez or Morgan Schneiderlin"

The bolded part along with his other comment about each case being looked at individually suggests to me that a transfer request would make them sell.

He also made another comment about him "wanting players who wanted to play for Southampton in the dressing room" so if Rodriguez and Schneiderlin make it clear that they do not want to stay, they could be allowed to leave.

Is the latest from Trix already posted? (Nothing we haven't heard already).

Trix on COYS

Update time....

MS was told a while back that they would only let him go if he handed in a transfer request, which he did officially this morning. Nobody had told him him it had been rejected until AFTER the statements from Krueger this evening when he called to see what the naff was going on.

To say he is unhappy is a massive understatement.

Can see this going the distance now, but I doubt we'll see MS in a Saints shirt ever again.


Jasper on SpursOdyssey

MS not willing to train as mind not right, wonder if it will carry through. Will all come out for sure.

"Top of the agenda was Bale’s future, with Villas-Boas urging the club to keep him for one more year"

"Villas-Boas happy with the pursuit of Paulinho, Roberto Soldado and Etienne Capoue but unsure that he wanted a radical overhaul."

He may have urged for all he was worth, but the sums still don't add up.

Soldado, Lamela, Paulinho and Capoue cost £67m-£80m. Willian and Coentrao would have added another £50m-£60m. Where was the money coming from if we didn't sell Bale?

Yep, totally agree. Those carefully worded snippets are the most revealing. Its all pointing towards a very reluctant sale but they're making sure that the perception is they're doing their best to take a tough stance but what can you do if the players really don't want to be here sort of thing...

Its all coming....when we meet their asking price.

Didn't we run this same race when Bale was out? I thought it was reported via ITK that he had a meeting w/ Levy where he told Levy he wanted to go to RM and Levy told him he was not being sold, Gareth left the grounds in a huff (I think this was @Breezer ITK). The company line all along was that he was never being sold, but their actions (all of the incomings) seemed to point to them trying to get their replacements in line before selling and having to deal with price gougers.

Possible Southampton are on the same sort of track? Obviously they've already pulled in a fair chunk of cash so the gougers will be out, but maybe they want to get their replacements lined up before officially selling anyone else so they can try and keep the prices down. Also, having those incomings ready to be announced at or near the same time as they sell MS and/or JR would make those sales a little less painful, PR wise.

If MS officially handed in a transfer request, he won't get a penny of the loyalty bonus. So Levy will have to cough up a signing fee, which will have to be worked into the total amount to secure his services. If Soton is already quoting above what Levy is prepared to pay, I can't see how he would improve the offer and eat the signing fee as well.

This krueger/soto situation is not dissimilar to a predicament my missus found herself in on my 45th birthday, in that a tiny bald headed object has caused a lot of discomfort (or a pain in the arse).

To expand on the similie, schneiderlin is my brown wings, the previous sales are my mates brown wings and the other clubs are my mates. It does fall apart as a complete similie in that the other clubs havent told spurs to persuade soton to sell a player to them cos "its fucking ace". Spurs havent bought soton a bottle of bacardi to loosen em up and, so far, soton havent spent 2 hours crying about it and complaining that the kidney punches werent really necessary.

Oh and soton didnt ring spurs up and say "you can have whatever you want"

Quite blatently this.

The whole off season has been a PR disaster for the club and it's about saving face with the media and fans alike that they are still a credible outfit when the reality is very different.

I know we only look at the situation from our angle but Southampton were a prototype club for any team rising through the leagues and to now be lead like they are must be absolutely galling for a Saints fan.

The trouble with that theory is that everyone already knows that Southampton have made a shedload of profit and have ramped up their prices accordingly. They may have lots of money, but who are they going to spend it on? Their chances of even Europa league qualification are effectively non-existent via the league, and not too great via the cups. They're all dressed up, but nowhere to go.

David Hytner article here, stating the obvious to a degree, but pretty good.

Sorry not as exciting as all the other ITK. But someone on here mentioned we signed a 15 year old Romanian boy called Rares Lazar. Just to let you know he's not signed but he is on trial. Injured his arm quite badly on the weekend so not sure how that will effect his trial.

Just realised that If you examine that similie properly, a) my missus has been giving out to my mates and b) they all have cocks like mice cos I nearly ripped the end of mine off......

as you were it was ill thought out and merely intended as a bit of light relief from two people sat in their underpants typing on the internet and getting upset over which buttons they have both pressed.
