Have we made a thread for Alan Dzagoev?

Someone should start one just so I can have a centralized place to make it widely known my love for that damn Russian.
Steady, Snarf. The last poster with excessive man love for a russion player eventually lost it, and was last seen with a pencil in his ear, softly whispering 'wibble'.

(she is not pretty)

Banging a fat unattractive woman to meet the players.

Do we really want another Russian striker?

Plays multiple positions but mostly attacking midfielder. Plays attacking midfielder at CSKA Moscow with the occasional role as a striker, and he played as a RW for Russia in the Euros.

Just out of interest when the last time JJ actually provided a positive piece of info rather than pooh-poohing other ITK's or saying x player is 'doubtful' or 'unlikely'?
Yeah a bit of a letdown.

JJ is one of the most uninspiring and circumspect posters of ITK. And thus one of the most correct.

From the man himself:

I apologise if I'm always appearing negative with my comments. Its easier to comment on what doesnt or hasnt happened and put right some untruths than it is to actually what is going on behind the scenes as its too sensitive for twitter and forums without being exposed, there is always stuff happening & i think we will be fine for the upcoming season. I tell a lucky few privately the good stuff just in case but they will attest that even those dont come off. Keep the faith and enjoy the journey that we are on at spurs! #COYS

i would have to disagree with jetset , that GB Players are rubbish !, so he thinks Caulker is rubbish!, butland is quality and if parks dosnt rate him then he should be fired!, remember this is the man who rates Gomes.

Togo play Gabon in their playoff so there's no guarantee they will even be at the ACN. Not that we should be looking to take that risk - but there's always January.

pretty sure he was referring to anyone who wasn't on our team that we'd be looking at i.e. Sinclair, Allen, etc.

This is where you have to remember the limitations of Twitter. I suspect if JJetset afforded himself the luxury of unlimited characters - say, on a forum... - he would have clarified that Parks didn't rate Butland in the context of the risk and fee involved and the current options (we know Parks likes Friedel, Cuddles and even Harry G), plus might have added a caveat of Caulker and possibly others.

You can't view Twitter posts without remembering this as content is easily misconstrued, especially when it is so easy to post something. Before you know it, thousands of people are disseminating info and reading between lines of an off-the-cuff remark that was only semi-thought through.

Not that JJ doesn't think through his Tweets, naturally, he's a great Tweeter who interacts very well with extremely high demand, but it's unavoidable and is why Twitter can never be as effective a form of sharing ITK as forums.
