Bear in mind, this is coming from a player agent so worth taking with a pinch of salt. There's quite a movement of opinion on Adebayor happening though, which is a good thing IMO.

We'll bring you more on this story as we get it..........................


I Bloody well hope not!!!> Just for clarification this is nonsense:hump:

What hymn sheet are we singing from at our club. It's a joke. Last week Harry is talking about bringing in 2 amazing signings that will show Luca out ambition. This week he's sayin we are going to stay quiet until we get rid of players. This should all have been sorted way back. No wonder players like modric want to leave when they see us messing around, while other teams get their business done quickly and efficiently. Joke!

club already looking for a replacement..


and yeah he's also been told adebayor..

There is a bit in a paper today saying modric will hand in a transfer request, that's where this itk has come from. Nothing new

Which is why the info should be taken with a massive load of salt. Most agents are scum and will do anything to kick start a transfer merry go round

And both have been told they can leave, so might just be pissing us of as his players are not wanted

The real joke is almost 60% of the players we are trying to offload/upgrade/want to leave were bought by the current management and have been with us for 2 1/2 years at max only.....

Hutton, Bassong, Bentley, GDS, Palacios, kranjcar, Jenas, Defoe, Crouch, Keane, Naughton & Pav.

Harry needs to just shut the f*** up in the press. When do you hear the likes of Dalgliesh coming out and stating his transfer plans.

Even if Harry is on a massive wind up, and we are close to transfers, why come out and say these things?!

It does absolutely no good and makes our club look a complete laughing stock. This coming season really could make or break us and Harry is pivotal to that so Levy needs to get a grip on him NOW!

Absolutely this!

And he wants to keep adding to this list with people like Parker and Cole who'll no doubt be after 4 year deals but by on the scrap heap within 2 (if they are not already - Parker was embarrassing in England's last game and Cole has been a waste of space for years).

well im suprised thsi agent can talk cos he has his work cut out trying to find 2 clubs for these plonkers.

as for adebayor links.. i said all along i think he is nailed on for us but i dont fancy him one bit. another keane in making and trying to shift him at end of it will be a disaster

do u think comments like that are for ur benefit. personallyi think he is putting it out there to put pressure on levy to get his finger out. its levy controlling things snd its frustrating the shit out of harry imo. we all know we need signings, none more so than harry. as for the 60% comment of players been signed and offloaded by current management, again they done job for us , got us 4th but nows its time to move on, upgrade and in some cases even make profit on them. likes of krnajcar, wilson even bassong might prove benficial in a swap mode. players we will have problems with are hutton and bentley. they were not bought by harry. i think the end of this transfer window will be unreal in the amoutn of players cahnging clubs. clubs are desperate to get players off payroll and it will eventually give towards end of window.

So the manager pressuring the chairman in public is good for the club? Do you think he phones luka and gareth and explains his cunning plan to them or do they just see stories like the ones in the papers this morning and think they would be better off out of this club?

I'm warming to the idea of a DOF, Harrys quotes last window about not being able to identify a target to spend Levy's money on are just ridiculous. If Redkapp can't use a little more imagination with his transfer targets, then I'm sure someone else can.

With Levy always on the look out for a potential bargain ... how about a cheeky bid for the 'reportedly unhappy' Raul Meireles?

I'd also give Dos Santos another chance ... he consistently keeps producing outstanding performances for Mexico ... surely the kid, if given a chance can do this for us also?

Well we all know Harry lies constantly but I would rather him just going on about hs business quietly than trying to play the media game.

Going by the last 2 windows and Harry trying to sigh the likes of Parker and ferdinand, yes the DOF sound a good idea but it won't happen while Harry is here he wouldn't have it.

That's more than £100m. And our squad and first XI is still much better than theirs. The only reason to feel envious of Liverpool right now is because we're still waiting to overhaul our strikers.

Come the end of the window, we'll have shifted two or three of our current strikers and brought in a couple of new ones. They may not be Eto'o or Forlan, but they don't need to be. They just need to be capable of playing in our current system and against defences that are happy to sit back and defend for a point, which none of our current strikers are.

Liverpool have bought a bunch of good, young players to go into their squad of good, older players.

We already have a great squad, we're only three or four clever signings away from having an exceptional squad.

:clap:

I'm not suprized that Forlan and Eto'o haven't signed because I saw David Villa and lionel Messi in a pie mash shop in Waltham Cross with Daniel Levy.

:rofl:

I don't believe the Modric shi'ite for one second...but just in case, I think we should organise a coordinated campaign for all Yiddos (ueah, including the rich ones:roll:) to chip in so Daniel Levy can afford to put Modric on 5 years gardening leave, if need be, without it harming the clubs finances - far-fetched, maybe, but wouldn't that be something:beer:

As far as Ibrahimovich goes - get outta here. I am one of the more optimistic members of the MB, I think, and quite happy to entertain the notion that we might have a slim outside chance of Eto'o based on a number of factors. But Ibra - who makes this bollox up:shrug:

Did you really write that or has someone hacked your account, as your one of Harry's strongest defender on here :grin:

I think the ITK about Ancelotti possibly being on "stand-by" in case Harry goes to England or jail is interesting and wonder if there are other circumstances in which DL would think that this might be the way to go anyway.

I think Daniel's list of targets is probably similar to that of most fans (even if it does have some business rationale, it still seems that he would break the bank for "special" players if he was sure they would keep their value and be easy to sell-on if things did go badly) , whereas Harry's seems to be about getting his English mates in, apparently because they have the spirit he's looking for.

As i said earlier, this season is pivotal - come outside the top 4 again and we'll never get back - assuming we hang on to Luka and Gareth this year, we won't if we come 5th or worse next year.

Is Harry going to take us forward?

How can he if his mind will be on the trial and potentially not here in 12 months?

I'd replace him and bring in someone you can appreciate/get the best out of the players we already have and bring in the extra bit of class that we need.


Players like Kranjcar, Dos Santos, even Bassong are/have the potential to be fantastic players ... yet Harry hasn't given them a sniff to prove themselves.

Just seen Dos Santos' goal/performance against the USA ... were mad if we are to sell him without giving him a proper chance.
