Please godray:
I was so positive about everything yesterday but today I feel less so... Can anyone remember a time when Dragon, Peanut, Archie and POTL were all saying different things?
Summer usually. And januaries as well. Going back about five years, I'd say.

Hmm sounds good to me... sometimes these things can just take time and either party can have good reasons to delay a transfer. Clubs becuase they might be after better targets or needing to shift players on first and players equally can have their reasons.
Sometimes its perfectly reasonable and as frustrating as it is for supporters you have to remember these are people's money and lives and they want to take their time to ensure they're making the best decision for them.

Says who? I live in Manchester for the most part and trust me they see us as a threat. They certainly don't want to give us a player and give us money for the privelege.

Didn't Rebrab say that Barton would cost less than Jenas? Or am I making that uP?
Would he really muck RM about like that when we've got a good thing going with them?
It seems to be gatehring pace in the press, so who knows.

Said one of the trusted ITK's I'm sure.
That they are even picking up the phone suggest it.
Last year they sent a player earning tons of wedge to play in the second division because they didn't want him joining us. Now we are in discussions... doesn't suggest they view us in the same light, unless they're just taking the mickey for a little bit.

I'm fine with Jenas staying. But I would also be fine with letting his current contract run down and give his slot to one of the kids next year. I guess I'd like to know how long the extension would be. 2 years, maybe. 4 years, no.
We could I agree, but three players won't be enough given our injury record. As usual we will lose key players to lengthy injuries which will cost us several points, whilst Man U, Chelsea and City will retain all of their best players and continue to grind out undeserved results.
Perhaps some new physios and medical staff could be as important as a new shiny striker. Any ITK on that?

I think that is the hold up personally.
Diarra is in for all intents and purposes, pen hovering above the dotted line
Spurs are trying to flog Palacios - but buying team are aware of Diarra and stalling. Once Diarra signs then they can negotiate the price down as Spurs would HAVE to sell Wilson. At the moment Palacios is "an integral part of the first team squad, therefore £XXm is a fair price". should Diarra sign, suddenly its " No Spurs, Palacios now seems to be surplus to requirements, therefore us buying him is doing you a favour. £Xm is a fair price"
Who blinks first? Diarra is a good player, paying £10m - £12m is a good deal. Should we take a massive hit on Wilson though, say lose £4m on what we paid not to long ago, Diarra suddenly becomes £14-£16m...is that a good deal? Is he that much better that Wilson? A tricky sitch, make no mistake.
Not really Spurs related, although we had been linked previously to Lukaku by some ITK info, he had signed a precontract or something. According to reports in Belgian press he has signed a 5 year contract at Chelsea. So another striker gone there.
Although I never thought this one would happen in the first place.
