Morning all. Seeing as last night talk turned toward players we had no ITK on I thought i'd refresh this thread just so that I can ask.......Do some of you REALLY want to miss out on the last few days of undoubted transfer mayhem?​
Manic Monday by A&C and The Bangles.

Refreshed thread already
I was just in the middle of a dream
I was backscuttling the mrs
And watching porn on a dodgy stream

But we need a new thread
'Cause you fuckers went and filled it spam
'cos this isn't the thread
To talk about Hulk and Willian

It's just another manic Sunday
I wish it were Monday
'Cause that might be a fun day
We might sign someone day
It's just another manic Sunday

Have to do this early
If there's no spam today will be fine
But if we had some info
We'd be damn sure to put it online

Now it takes me so long just to figure out who's posting the spam
Blame it on the ****s
Bashing on about Hulk and Willian

It's just another manic Sunday
I wish it were Monday
'Cause that might be a fun day
We might sign someone day
It's just another manic Sunday

All of the days
Why did you bastards have to pick last night
To spam down?
(spam down, spam down)

Doesn't it matter
That no ITK said fuck-all about Hulk
But if you got banned you can be sure you'd go have a sulk

Pottle tells me in his deepthroat voice
"C'mon A&C, let's go make some noise"
The window goes so fast
(When you're having fun)

It's just another manic Sunday
I wish it were Monday
'Cause that's might be a fun day
We might sign someone day
It's just another manic Sunday

Or to put it another way. There's no ITK about Mata, Ozil or Hulk. If you want to, flutter forth to the player threads, but it isn't for in here.

Todays word of the day is: Benvenuto

Morning pop pickers.

Just posted an article in Nedelev and Lamela threads which also relates to Ljajic. We are now getting into the last week of the window and it seems a lot of deals now will be dependant on others just as Bale is dependent on us getting our signings in first.

It seems Roma will need to tie up Ljajic or Nedelev before Lamela will be done which perhaps explains some delay there. Here's hoping for some movement on that today!

Edit: ... benvenuto Lamela (hopefully) :cautious:

Morning.

Might have been missed last night, but Roger Morgan did mention Lamela, Eriksen and Chiriches.

Not that groundbreaking, but at least it's something .......... off to read the Mail to see whether it made the paper

Would be very pleased with that. Would just leave the LB position and possibly a replacement striker. Here's hoping. Not sure where Vadillo fits in though. Maybe a big 'for the future' signing instead of Hallilovic which seems to have gone quiet.

Edit: To andyp8080: I read the clause was about 17m. He's a very raw looking winger. Not much in the available clips to get one too excited but probably a fair bit of raw potential.

Release clause for that young Betis window is £17.3 million, apparently. Bit steep for someone who has played just a handful of games.

Be more than happy with those 3. 3 top class, young players and not too expensive.

The Vadillo ITK is good if, and only if, it's in addition to the likes of Lamela and Eriksen.

I'm all for us bringing in young talent, but it has to be in addition to sorting out the here and now.

Lamela, Eriksen and Chiriches would be a good start.

Think its kind of steep To pay for him especially if we get the Bulgarian and already have Townsend and Chadli. Would prefer Jese Rodriguez. Did he end up signing a new contract with Madrid?

How is spending 17m on raw potential good? That was our transfer record a month ago! It's a shed load of money. He's not played much for Betis yet and has had injury problems already in his career.

I understand speculate to accumulate but that seems to much on too little, currently.

I also think that he wouldn't play much so money could be better spent elsewhere.

Only in addition of Lamela of course but no way at the quoted price. Paulinho price for him is insane. Unless of course it is divided into heeps of years and alot of it is triggered if this and if that happens.

It makes me laugh when I read some posts on here like "I would rather spend the money on X player" Well there's also the choice of X player if he wants to come to us. mean Draxter, Reus just to name a few. I mean even talk about Hulk! Not because he's worked with AVB before means he will come to Spurs

It's easy for us to say they are quality players out there that we should buy instead of spunking £30m on Willian but don't you think Baldini and AVB are aware of these talents? So it's either they won't fit into our plans, their clubs won't sell or the players won't move to a club without CL football

Agreed. For every Bale there's a dozen Bostocks. Much rather go for a younger player but one who can contribute immediately to the first team (i.e. Lamela). If we are aiming to find the next big thing then again I'd rather take a punt on 2 or 3 players instead of 17m on one kid.

What was the Roger Morgan ITK? I can't see it in the RO, nor on Spurs Od?

The only comment from Roger Morgan relating to transfers was a jokey response to marcspurs' statistical analysis of the SO Transfer Thread (eg how long it had taken to get the first hundred pages compared to the eighth hundred, how many posts per day etc.). Pretty sure it wasn't ITK.


Roger Morgan said:
any chance you could highlight exactly when we made our signings? You know page, hours, mins etc. Perhaps in colour for each new player...
You can add in Lamela, Eriksen, Chiriches, Uncle Tom Cobbley and all as we go through the week.

Yes Jese signed a new deal.

Although if Bale does go to Real Jese may request a transfer as the new deal was signed on a gentleman's agreement that Jese would see a lot more first team time.
