i just nudged him but he's out like a light. Mind you, the rohypnol should wear off in about 20 minutes.

Woohoo, a signing before I even start my working day! Welcome Etienne! (And doesn't he look pleased to be joining us?)

Oh no, does that mean he'll come in riding a wave of massive hopefulness and optimism, only to ultimately become a huge disappointment?!

Congrats mate!
With Capoue done you might as well get on it now like a proper student.

WooHoo! Hudd's gone ( 
) but Capoue is in ( ) so we have a new batch of winners in the donations lottery - check below to see if you've won!
Ravo - Other first team players £5 each
MonkeyBastardHands - Each other "household name" signing - £10 (decide if Capoue is a household name or if you're a tightarse)
Gbspurs - £5m -£10m = £5
Guiltyparty - matches Gbspurs
Davids_5 - £10 for a creative midfield player (apparently Capoue is amazing at macramé)
IanKane - Sign anyone - £5 (per signing)
StupidLikeAFox - And £1 for every million spent (£8.6m apparently) - also: Huddlestone - £5 (out)
BusConductor - Hudd 10 - done - Capoue 30
Bruts - Every signing over £10 million - £5 (if that includes wages... )
Reece - I'll give a tenner for each player we sign who has Villa somewhere in their name in addition to a tenner per player who is signed from a club that has likewise - until Feb 1st.
(What were the chances of discovering that Capoue is actually Monrovian for Villa? Things you learn, eh?)
Syn_13 - Creative attacking mid/wide forward/winger - £5 (will you fall for the same arts and crafts gag as Davids_5?)
BryanaButler - Huddlestone,Livermore, Naughton,Dempsey, £5 Each (do loans count?)
Antilokhos - In an effort to appease the ITK gods, I will pledge $10 (yes, $ - I'm a Yank) per every £10m+ signing (will you fall for the 'including wages' caveat above...? )
Milkybaryid - can't see sigs as on my phone - assume it was about £50 for Thudd going?

Well, you can see why people were happy to confirm Capoue what with that picture of him in a Tottenham shirt.
That JJ tweet has caused too much discussion IMO.
He's replying about Lamela, states his opinion that he likes Pjanic and he's capitalised the 'W' in will, possibly just to be mischievious. Either way you've got 3 of our targets in one tweet, so it is hardly informative, I think he us just messing about on Twitter.
He comes on here, he brings info on here, maybe he comes in here when he's got something worth sharing? Maybe his personal Twitter account is just that and we shouldn't read too much into it?
Similar things happen with LLM. He is a long time poster over at 606 and often just banters a bit with posters he knows over there. It's not all ITK, and if you apply some critical judgement you can separate the onion from the secrets.

You are assuming that the €110m values Coentrao at the £11m mark that he was being offered to Spurs before they asked about Bale. Weren't there stories in terms of an exchange deal he was now being valued at double that. In a nutshell why exchange deals rarely happen.

Anyone think it was a tactical on the clubs part to announce Capoue, then a few mins later drop that disgustly oversized sponsor (not to mention the red lettering) on us?

I am not assuming anything, I was replying simply to a post that said €110 + Coentrao = 77m GBP + player, I simply corrected that to say €110 was not 77mGBP but 94m at current exchange rates, but as I am getting spam ratings for replying to other peoples posts I think I will leave it there.
Glad Capuoe is confirmed, but the Red lettering on those shirts is horrific!!!

Soldado looks like he just got pulled out of bed by an over enthusiastic Michael Dawson.
