Can I suggest that the mods hold back one or two ITK snippets on the more busy days, to be able to release on the more deathly quiet days like today? :)

(If its anything about Leandro Damiao then you could keep any info on ice for years!)

Asked about Soldado link

@jetsetyid: @Jonny_Moffett
There are always targets & lists of players.
You move quickly from 1 to another & then back as things change all the time!

Interesting comment to Jonny. Suggests that we just bite at whatever chairman gives us the most love so to speak

In response to would Harry of given Damiao the chance;

@jetsetyid: @paulbestall
Absolutely but in fairness Harry wouldnt go & watch him in Brazil as he wanted Drogba & was convinced he was ours.


Harry was convinced that he would sign Drogba and Beckham :shifty: And we finally got Saha

This time last year we hadn't even sacked Harry yet let alone appoint AVB. Transfers will happen and I'm sure there is work being done and AVB levy will be aware of who they want and will go for their men!!

Since this time last year we have signed:
Verts
Sig
Dembele
Lloris
Dempsey
Holtby
Ade

Now only one of those....ade, can be considered a failure (and he was one of the signings that at this time last year we were praying to sign him perm!!)

My point is, relax and try and enjoy your summers and know that over the coming months we will be making signings!!!

I just hope that this time next year I can type a message again saying we signed 6/7 players and only 1 was a failure!! Not bad for a chairman 'making all the decisions'
Yea but that kind of transfer activity took the sale of Modric to spark/fund

We don't want the sale of Bale to be the catalyst this time

Edit: @Spurs - why are you d'oh rating this post? you do want Bale to be sold in order to fund a spending spree?

I'm not saying we're incapable of signing players without selling him - just that the reference to our activity last year is not wholely relevant due to the fact that it was funded by the money raised from selling Modric

@TTID_: @jetsetyid will we ruin the start of another season by taking too long to do our business again? that is the question :D

@jetsetyid: @TTID_
I hope not but early last season was a completely different and challenging. Much more settled and trust this time between AVB & DL.

Well, that's really good news. AVB definitely deserves it.

Harry favouring past it superstars for short term success. Confirms alot to me and is probably why he will be managing the Championship next season.

JJs tweets are always interesting. It gives you an idea how the whole shit backstage really works if he sticks to the truth all the time. like that.

@jetsetyid: All very quiet out there in transfer land. #notthecalmbeforethestorm!
Oh dear... JJ seemed to be one of a few suggesting or hinting that we were close to signing Leandro about a week ago; now he would appear to be suggesting it's all quiet and might stay that way.

I should go on holiday until September first. lHow buzzing would it be to explore that we lost our first three games to Chelsea, City and United and find Chelsea at the top of the table. And then looking at the squad and find out that our only new arrival is Morata, who we swapped against Gareth Bale. :coffee:

before everyone starts panicking, just remember we are only in the beginning of June, however if nothing happens from now till the beginning of July, then we can all arrange a special meeting to visit levy at his home ;)
