AVB went to meet Sandro with a couple of his coaching staff as they hadn't meet yet.
Which translated to we're are buying Hulk in typical Spurs fashion
The staff there said Sandro was a true gent and Neymar was a little cockface
Nothing we didn't already know there then

haha excellent, neymar does come across like a liitle shit!!!

Realistically there are not that many teams that they may prefer to us though:

In Spain: Barca, Real and maybe Athletico.

In Italy: AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus

In England: Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea and Arsenal

In Germany: Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund

Others: PSG and Monaco

Out of all of those clubs I can only see Arsenal wanting Villa (maybe Monaco), and both Dortmund & Athletico wanting Leandro. So the players waiting for bigger moves shouldn't be too much of a problem.


I don't think Dortmund pay better wages than we do. Somebody that follows them might know better. But even so, under Zorc/Kloepp, they have only paid significant money for one player. They are more moneyball than the Oakland A's ever were (mostly because they actually won shit :D)

EDIT: Found a great piece by Swiss Ramble on their economic turn around. Their wage bill is 80m Euros (70m GPB) per year. The last article he did on us, had our wage bill at 91m GPB.

I understand that clubs here and there have made agreements etc that have been publicised, but in truth the window doesn't actually 'open' for another 25 days. Granted we might hear some snippets about meetings with agents and accountants but can't really expect anything (especially left field) until this happens.

This is when contracts run down and start also. We'll just have to be patient and just wank and watch it ;) for now?
There I've fixed it for you :whistle:

The agent went missing at the Brazil team hotel up in Newcastle if I remember correctly.

Probably lynched for having the audacity to wear a jacket on a night out. ( never mind the fact that the weather was probably 30 degrees below what he's used to )

I find it very doubtful mate, plus there's been no ITK on it (as far as I'm aware?), so perhaps best to ask this question in the Benteke thread? Better than getting sodomised by A&C and his bag of naughty treats!!

Bloody hell we must REALLY rate Leandro to carry on even thinking about trying to sign him. It sounds like his cub are dodgy, his agent his dodgy and I suspect he has a few suspicious pets as well.

Seriously what have we seen in this guy for us to put up with so much shit in trying to get him?

That is comedy gold.


One of the all-time greatest sins of this site is that too few posters realize that JJ has a great sense of humor. I think most people would jump at a chance to have a beer with 'em because of Spurs info. But he'd probably be better for banter. Although he is a vegan and won't shut the f*** up about it when he's had three or four. No, JJ, SOY BACON DOESN'T TASTE JUST LIKE REAL BACON! Jeez

60+ goals then monetary profit after 3 years?

From a Roma Fan:

Last statement was that Baldini can go when they have signed a new coach.

Don't know if that is new, just pass it on here.

I knew someone would do that ! Just a hypothetical example pulled off the top of my head ie. AVB loves Hulk but he went for 40m odd and big wages in a deal that did not represent good value for money.

It's the least important part of my post as its just a quick example that you could replace with whatever you saw fit


Sorry for the dislike rating fat fingers on an iPhone... Any chance someone can remove it

Bloody hell, i live up in Newcastle and went to the Brazil Vs New Zealand game, i would have helped them put the deal together, with a bit of help from Gazza, fishing rods and 4 cans of Tennents!!!

In fact i suspect thats why he went missing !!!
