It was Levy that worked the deal to get him.

If they had talked about him early in the window and decided he was too expensive why does Redknapp continually say I dont know where to play him, he does give me a selection headache? Surely why discuss a player you cant see fitting in your team? If you had discussed it and only price was the problem, when you do get him you struggle to fit him in? Thats either poor scouting or the price was to good to refuse a World Class player you hadnt bargained for.

also not great news if DL wants to spend £30m on a player that the manager apparently doesnt fancy!!!!

it is an issue if one wants a small bloke and the other a bigun! dont think o'hara going will make any difference as he is not one of the big contributers to the wage bill

They both agree on the targets.

Just the methods on getting them is the issue.

As for O'hara I was simply implying that hopefully we can make some out goings follow suit.

I wrote that first. He copied me. My penis is tiny.

Real downside of the new ITK is their low self-esteem issues. Might want to seek professional help

Looking into things a bit too much me thinks.

It was Levy that took the call from Madrid you mean, then asked Harry if he was interested.

Either way, it's irrelevant really, it's not a good example. Andy Carroll would be a better one, as would Phil Neville. Harry wanted them, Levy didn't/doesn't.

Dick! I was saying that Jacob has heard/been told the same as me! Meaning it is a GOOD thing, as it re-affirms both our sources, and more importantly means that we may have 3 new strikers being Rossi, Adebayor, and Leandro. Which makes me very excited!
My penis isn't tiny, ask your missus, and no low self-esteem here mate, im buzzing that i get to hear true direct ITK from an amazing source. Maybe the issue here, is your jealousy of ITK's?
Anyway, be the bigger man, and don't bother replying

If the cryptic can be taken any one of 6 billion ways, then no

Surely it just gives him more wiggle room to work the story/ITK however he/she wishes at a later date?

Pretty sure Redknapp has mouthed off in the past about how he likes Rossi.

Also said he expected to move to either Real or Barca next season. He's a card.

No wonder Taarabt never passed the ball, he couldn't see his team-mates with his head firmly lodged up his own ass!

Harry does fancy Rossi, he just thinks that a proper number 9 is a greater priority.

Think I would rather have Levy choosing the players rather than HR bringing in players on their last legs. Plus HR thinks Crouch is a world class striker.

marvel · Jun 21, 2011

If we bought Rossi, Adebayor and leandro this window...wow. Still, not gonna get my hopes up to much but at least they're trying (which is probably what they want us all to think)!

Fixed.

I can't see why Levy/we don't go for Rossi (or whoever our marquee signing turns out to be) now with the money made from last year and then say to Harry you can spend any further money we get in from sales O'Hara etc. on the upgrades you want i.e. Adeybayor, Parker etc.

Chasing Adebayor could be a waste of time, chances are City will keep moving the goal posts and it will just lead to nothing. Going by past experiences of course.

I was thinking the same, it'd take a dramatic change in stance from Man City to start selling to us.

I cant see why the would unless they've become arrogant enough to believe we are no longer a threat to them... I'm sure they'd take far more pleasure in stringing us along then pulling the plug and loaning him out - it's not as if they'll need to sell him.

Business I guess, doesn't want the club to be seen as needing to sell and end up having to give away the dead wood just to get them off the books?

Stupid thing is I doubt interest levels will be high for a lot of our surplus players anyway so we won't be able to command high fees.

Yeah let's let a businessman sign the players not a manager who has decades of experience and who said business man employes to make those decisions.

We used to have a really good relationship with Chelsea under Mourinho... how things change! :lol:

When was this ? It was never great and then they sent Arnesen a fax of his wage offer to Dan levy's fax machine.

faulks said:
“He [Taarabt] played in pre-season with us in New York last summer,” he recalled. “I played him in midfield there with Luka Modric – and Luka’s still recovering from it.”

Great quote from Harry last year. :grin:

Why would anyone play Taraabt in CM, and partnered by Modric ? Hardly the most astute tactics - even for a friendly. Perhaps "H" fancied Taraabt for a busy........

Can you tell us who's on this years list ?

Can very much see that happening

I'm not going to question the authenticity of the information passed on to him.

However, I will disagree with it.
