phil, I can't be sure whether you're being serious or taking the piss as so much tripe is written in this thread. If you're taking the piss, fair play. If you're being serious, you should be sectioned. If anyone thinks that our Chairman isn't busting his balls trying to bring us a top striker, they're nuts. DL traditionally goes on holiday Winter time when things quieten down.

I'm not questionning Levy's commitment to signing a striker; I'm just sceptical that he is in Portugal. Why would the chairman feel the need to travel there when deals can be negotiated using phones, emails and faxes from anywhere in the world, including from a beach in Florida.

Not trying to cause trouble but is this not an ITK discussion thread? Is it not reasonable to ask that question?

For example; so and so says "we will sign Diarra on Monday".

"Oh great I'll go and get his name on my shirt, but hold on, when was the last time an ITK got something right"?

Have we gone from not directly criticising ITKs specifically to not being able to question whether they have got it right or not? If we then don't sign Diarra on Monday, are we not then allowed to say that it was called wrong?

Have I just read it wrong? If so apologies.............

I think Swe Spur completely misunderstood IOMLS's question about there having been any ITK on Eto'o.

Because it shows a genuine interest. if Levy hadn't personally jetted down to Croatia we would never have signed Modric. A face-to-face meeting is very often a dealbreaker if the player isn't 100% convinced.

AllanDK · Aug 13, 2011

Yeah your right Marty. I think Levy is close on someone and want to go see the player face to face otherwise he wouldnt fly to Portugal

mickyid · Aug 13, 2011

Levy flew out to Croatia to get the Modric deal done as well, that was how he stole a march on everyone else and got it done quickly.

Okay question- Is this "Mystery" guy- the one who said Levy was in Portugal- reliable?

Archibald&Crooks · Aug 13, 2011

Spoke to a close source to Levy.

Benzema,Kaka,Rossi and Ronaldo have been signed pending Harry's approval.

We also had Eto and Drogba signed last summer but Harry rejected them as he fancies Crouch and Defoe more.

The worst part of this post is that people will actually believe that it's true...

Just checked on the FIFA website and discovered the route of all our problems. Transfer window opens august 30th 00:00 and closes august 31st 00:00 for tottenham hotspur only.

Really can't wait for this next window to open, roll on the 30th
