It's an update as promised. All be it a little late lol

So has something gone wrong with Adebayor. Don't see us signing both of them as they'd both expect to start imo. Also, why did we not go for Falcao when his release clause was much cheaper

Been away for 2 weeks, not much has happened, has it...

However

IF there is some truth in Mystery's latest itk then WOW

A signing like Falcao would be like when Drogba signed for Chelsea or Torres for Liverpool. This guy would be amazing. He could be THE difference!!!

IF it is true that Levy's in Portugal and IF we're bidding for Falcao, I really hope that Levy opens with a realistic bid, no stupid fucking around with an opener of £10m or £15m, got to open on £25m or maybe even £30m for Porto to take us seriously.

Haggling over virtually every deal is good, it's part of what makes us financially stable, but I fear that Levy takes it too far sometimes.

surely levy would have went out to portugal to seal a deal rather than to come back and then make an offer?

That would be a huge signing. What's happened to Madrids interest though?

Is it just me or did Mystery's latest ITK just cover the potential bases? It states yes, we're going to bid for Falcao and then also that we could bid for Hulk as well?

Yeah.

We're gonna stup up about £90m for the two players? I don't see it.

I'm still buying the Hulk or Falcao thing. In my opinion it's a no go.

Do you have any idea why it's not untill next week?

Maybe because there is only one day left of this week? And nothing usually happens on a Sunday.. So next week.. (atleast thats how i read it, could be wrong.)

I suppose you ask yourself how realistic it sounds, normally a good clue :wink:

Yeah, I don't really understand the point of flying all the way to Portugal to speak with Porto's president, then having to wait until next week to make a bid.

Surely, Levy would only fly out to thrash out a deal quickly and privately, as he apparently did with Modric.

If we already know we are going to bid next week (why next week ffs!!) why on earth would Levy fly out to talk to the president?? Could do that on the phone. Not bashing, just saying the situation baffles me if true.

Doesn't he have a release clause of £27M? If so he would be cheaper than Rossi or Llorente.

I'm sure Levy would fly out to Portugal if he thought it might save the club a million pounds or two by negotiating face to face.
