Ah I though it was the poster being a wum.

When people refer to an itk posting, particularly when it’s a hidden twitter account, they really should post what he’s said.

The original person asked if we're signing josh king or anyone else under the radar, JJ replied yes under the radar. Then the guy asked if it was a striker which was met with a wink and tongue out emoji. When the guy pressed for more info JJ said just wait.

The one advantage to Costa is he knows how Mourinho plays. We could get him in for very cheap and he could play in that run of nine games probably without a problem.

Also, he is slow but he keeps himself in good nick and was still playing games a few weeks ago. Wouldn’t love it but he’d do a job.

Strange how so many players are getting it actually.

I thinks it's more because they get routinely tested, as opposed to them going on holidays etc. I suspect a similar percentage of the population, under 45, in general have it, but don't get tested unless they feel unwell. While footballers get tested regardless and are probably surprised to discover they've got it.

I don't drink coffee so I don't care for Costa the coffee shop and I fecking hate Costa the footballer.
One thing I'd hate more than Diego Costa, Diego Costa playing for Spurs.

Really hope we don’t him. Not only is he total twat on the pitch, but by the sound of things isn’t even that good anymore.
I understand the “he’s a winner” comment. I also get that he’s played for Jose before, and that his shithousery might be useful. But personally I’d be embarrassed watching him carry on that way in a spurs shirt. I could just about stomach it if he was banging in goals and we won a trophy, but I don’t think you ‘need’ to be like that to win (Man city and Liverpool don’t have that level of shithouse for example), so I would rather we didn’t sign him.
And in response to the concept of him being ‘better than no-one’, well yes- he would be.
But I personally dont think he’d be better than:
Callum wilson
Josh king
Chris wood
Arkadiusz Milik
Olivier Giroud
Ollie Watkins

So I’d chose any of them to fill the vacancy ahead of Costa. The only one I don’t know enough about is habib diallo. But that’s a gamble between someone who may develop and someone who may not be at the arse end of their career. I’d avoid both of these options to be honest.

City are the masters of cynical fouls.
Yes they might be, but that’s not close to the same thing (as you know).
They don’t have anyone who goes around head butting, elbowing and stamping on players for example. Neither do Liverpool since they sold Suarez.
When costa does all that, then dives around clutching his face it’s embarrassing. The incident with momo Sissoko in Spain is the best example.
Not at spurs thank you

Won’t be surprised if it is Costa. PL veteran. A tough bastard. A winner. Yes, a complete and utter wanker, but can certainly see why he would make the most sense from Jose perspective.

I would feel ohysically sick seeing Costa in our shirt.
Get what you mean, but as someone said earlier, if it's Costa or no-one, then I choose Costa. Kane gets injured, Son gets injured, Parrott is loaned, we have Lucas up front by himself.

Again.
