Buck knows his stuff though tbf Liverpool are apparently a small club north of M25

Oh and although I said Russian earlier since he is the organ grinder,his monkey has previous form for "tapping up"

Anyway til something more solid happens other than the expected brown stuff Chavs face if Levy does take matters further.He is already taking on the Government,dildo brothas et al fair to believe Chavs with a host of issues in their midst not least with us would prove easy pickings.Personally bucky o hare needs to stfu and yes that is Buck not the guy posting ITK im talking about.

Yes, Levy said it would take £50 million just to get him to pick the phone up.
Suspect has nothing to do with it, reading a totally unambiguous statement which states categorically that Modric won't be sold, and from which Levy wouldn't be able to back down whilst retaining any credibility (to the point where his Chairmanship would probably become untenable) has got everything to do with it.
I think it is either Chelsea being rosy-eyed about it - kinda like when a girl says "feck off and die dog breathe" and a lad still convinces himself she is giving come-on eyes while saying it. And the denouement to this story is the suspended sentence and restraining order for stalking.
Or, maybe, your 'friend' is winding you up:shrug:
I don't think 'Arry has been putting pressure on Levy, I think they have been presenting a united front on this issue.

No matter what bids are made,Levy will make him stay for at least another season,if we have made no progress then the issue can be reviewed.
Let's be honest Luka's value is not going to decrease in a year.
Totally agree with you! I think Modric will be a Spurs player come September and that we will have one top quality striker on our books - that's right, Carlton Cole.
Can't belive that the words quality and Carlton cole in the same sentence
You would prefer Bobby Zamora?

Carlton Cole & Kenwyne Jones.
Anyone swap these for 2 (or 3) of Defoe, Keane, Crouch or Pav?

rather have Jay Bothroyd than Carlton fuckin Cole (actual middle name)
If you painted his (cole's) face white and put some red swirls on his cheeks he would be the mask in Saw... And that's the only reason i don't like him, cos he has a big fucking face!

CL qtrs, TWO new shirt deals and were fucking skint???? Has Levy spent the lot on private investigators and collectors editions of razzle magazine???

Eek will definitely have nightmares tonight...
If we're replacing some of our strikers it has to be with players that are better not the same or worse :lol:

Totally agree with you. Just looking at worst case scenario.
Oh forgot to mention Benjani, I'm sure he's available on a free (for good reason)!
Give me any 1 of Rossi, Adebayor, Vucinic or Llorente (& Leandro) any day. In Levy we trust.....
I welcome your criticism. I sincerely appreciate the optimistic attitude that you have. I would LOVE nothing more than to tell you on August 31st, 2011 that your prognostications were brilliantly poignant, and that I was short-sighted with my negativity.
In regards to selling our deadwood: the primary issue is the smaller clubs you confidently cite as likely destinations, in most instances, are not going to meet our price quotes. I suspect Levy will eventually have to re-evaluate his pricing on a few players, but he very well may not do so until later in the window, at which time turning around and using that money for incoming transfers might prove more cumbersome.
In regards to our financial situation, what do you make of numerous reports that Spurs' transfer budget this summer is predicated on sales of our own players? Judging by your post, I'd guess that you believe, like I do, that the money is (or at least should be) absolutely there to invest heavily this summer, irrespective of us taking in millions of pounds in transfer fees. The issue(and I think this is where we may disagree) is one of conviction and calculated risk.
Spending 30 million pounds on Fernando Llorente, Falcao, or Giuseppe Rossi is a calculated risk that I don't personally forsee Levy taking at this juncture. I sincerely hope he does so (and I'm sure you'll tell me he has the gumption to make it happen, given our purported bids in January in excess of 30 million pounds), and I'm proven completely wrong when our world-class, pile-driving, goal-scoring striker arrives in the coming weeks.
As for Rafael Van der Vaart's transfer: Would you not concede his coming to us was a bit of an anomaly, and not the norm in world football? Can you cite for me recent instances, besides his, where world-class players moved to significantly smaller clubs for cut-rate prices on the final day of the window?
What surplus striker do you forsee being a candidate to move to us on August 31 for around 10 million pounds? Will City sell Adebayor to us? Will Chelsea sell Drogba to us? Will Roma sell Vucinic? Will Champions League bound Villareal and Porto sell us their star players without replacing them? If there are other potential strikers I don't know about who are likely last minute targets this summer in the class of Van der Vaart, please alert me to them.
Nevertheless, my entire argument is premised on the fact that this is the most important transfers window in decades for the club. This is the first time in many years where we have multiple world class players in their prime, on one time, and can honestly say that we are 2 bold signings away from competing for the league title. Not making our team stronger and missing out on top 4 will make keeping our current world class players much more difficult.
You seem to believe Levy will make the signings to consolidate and advance our current standing. I'm skeptical that he will. That's the divide. I hope I am completely wrong. I really, really, really hope you're right..

We aren't skint, but we cant afford to pay extra wages until some are unloaded. We probably had a budget for wages, but last season there was no panic as we were in the champions league, can could afford to send players on loan and cover some of the cost, hoping they would get game time and put themselves in the window. Now we can't, we need rid of players.

Mostly because it hasn't gone. I am sure of this. We still need to sell before we buy but not for any other reason but to clear wages and clear out our squad, which is to put it simply massive.
Looking at our finances which are open to the public we are well positioned and could afford big figures without harming us too much. The only issue I can think of is stadium issues.

I'm off to bed after a horrible weekend of illness, car trouble and baby teething. Not to mention the £15 I wasted on Haye last night. Never again will Sky Box Office see my money.
Worst of all though was the complete and utter crap on here. No transfer rumours, never mind ITK. And I have sat and watched while everyone turns on each other.
We need a signing and we need one quick. Not for the clubs sake, or Spurs' seasons sake. But for us, the fans sake.
That is all.
