JJ twitter is allowed when its ITK player related but why we feel the need to post stuff thats just him venting, its why he doesnt post generally in here becuase everything he says is jumped on as ITK or player related.
I get what you mean and agree with you but it's still not as bad as it was not all that long ago when you'd get some herbert dragging this over:

JJ on Twitter - :playful:

Followed by twenty pages of speculation (to put it kindly) as to what it could possibly mean.

Thankfully we managed to put a stop to the trend, but it took a while.

Shame we're not looking at a Croatian midfielder instead of forward. The only forward I'd want from Croatia is Perisic and there's no way we're paying a big fee for a 29 year old, so Rebic is the most likely. Personally I'm not at all convinced by him.

Croatian players seem to be flavour of the month in a lot of ITK and newspaper articles linking us to players.

It feels like we have been linked to have their team over the summer.

With 4 days left. Why bother fucking about with players Levy might not get. Makes no sense

We won't get any player until we try.... You don't know if they are for sale or the value!

But I think that bit was his opinion anyway.

I realise fully the spam ratings I am to recieve but is there a meaning behind the word "Herbert" I've heard cockneys say it.. Jesus it cracks me up,never heard it in ireland

On the subject of 4 days being left - we're going to have to start making some serious movements to actually bring players in soon, right?

Surely we're not going to leave every potential signing until deadline day to complete?

We need 3, arguably 4 players now Toby is going - that's potentially one a day!

You do know we are probably working on multiple options for signing and can sign a few at the same time?

It's not as if we just got here with 4 days left and just started to look at players.

I agree but I've just removed that post as I didn't realise I posted it in the ITK thread - and it doesn't relate to any ITK.

There are a few good Croat forwards so that’s nice ITK. My preferred would be Rebic due to age but also what he brings, he’s very quick and has lovely technique. Also fits in with Pochettino’s love for a good battler.

Apart from he's bang average and would once again represent settling for a cheaper not as good alternative.

Edit: unless of course he's being brought in as a replacement for Llorente, because he's probably better than him, I'll give you that.

We’ve been linked with Rebic for most of the summer so he’s the prime contender realistically.

Onions I guess. Anyway, no concrete links here so will just leave it as I hope it’s him as my opinion is very different to yours clearly.

He's not bang average at all. He's powerful, relatively quick and is a superb finisher of the ball. Watch his performance vs Bayern Munich in last year's final. He didn't look incredible during the WC granted but I can certainly see why Poch may like him.

ghostofarmo:Bit of itk
Trying for a croat fwd..all im gonna say..knowing levy probably wont succeed

if this goes against the rules, i will immediately remove, but, doesn’t this tie in with earlier itk in the window about Pulisic? i mean, he is croatian (even though he does play for the USA) and it would explain the “probably won’t succeed” since levy is notoriously stingy when it comes to player prices and he would have a massive one as previously alluded to

Not that I wanna jump on the guessing train but then I guess I am. But maybe and hoping he means Brozović as seen a few links over on the site that cannot be named and he is a attacking mid so hoping it him. but as i’m getting scared of what might come my way by speculation I’m leaving it there.

Hope this is ok a&c

ali z on toby: Certainly something going on, they are trying to force Martial as part of deal but we can't do it as Poch has other priorities in non hg incomings.

?!?
