Think Chelsea may give up on Modders soon. From what I can gather from a mate of mine (claims to know someone ITK) they may well be getting Juan Mata and then taking Kaka on loan

just had a thought about the mod*** position and the alleged harry/levy position as well...... (i know this aint ITK etc etc etc ...its just a thought that occurred)

Maybe just maybe levy will be prepared to let the little guy go for a combination of the following dispensations from chelsea:-
a) some serious wedge (Thats a given its just the amount innit?)
b) some quality players (sturridge / drogba / who else? (would personally say to em we want sturridge and McEachran that would stir up a hornets nest wouldnt it?))
c) AND THIS WOULD BE THE BEAUTY!! - Chelsea release Ancelotti from the constraints of his Gardening Leave clauses.

And discuss.......

Not really the right place to discuss. Try spurs chat.

at the risk of repeating myself too much, to those asking what harry thinks of Ruiz, i posted in Ruiz threat last night. Jamie Redknapp said on sky he had spoken to his dad after the game. Thinks he left b4 ruiz scored. Said he did ok. Jamie added in his own opinion he can't see this one happening.

I repeat it again, it doesn't matter what Jamie fucking said or didn't say. Since when can you believe anything that comes out of Harry's mouth?

For all we know the Ruiz noises were to force another move or we could still end up signing him ffs.

Diarra and adebayor would put us in a great position.

I would assume if Modric is nursing the vain hope of his move happening he would not have wanted to tie himself in such an unimportant game such as Thursdays and I'd guess we'd not be too fussed about leaving him out but I don't think it signifies anything else, certainly not that we are selling him.
Once the window closes he'll know there's nothing to lose.

Hope the Adebayor thing happens now as it would improve our squad and, by all accounts, it won't cost us that much which is exactly what you want as eventually you get to the standard that world class superstars tend not to take seriously.
For the record I believe Adebayor would thrive with the service our wide players could give him, he is a terrific striker and he stuck it up the arsenal, can't help thinking he'd take a special pleasure in knocking arsenal out of the CL places playing for Spurs.:)

Ruiz scored last night, which is more than our strikers were doing last season; harry must have been wetting himself.


Thing is they both scored, cardoza nice finsih god vision, Ruiz goal was good in the sense he scored a header that he deliberatley attacked and placed well, someone who attacks the balls and makes the runs that encourages ball being crossed in, i can see bale and him having a good little thing going. he is like berba in a way but with more pace.

This is exactly what we need, someone who attacks the ball rather than waiting for it to come to them.

I don't know anything about Ruiz, but there seems to be some confusion about if he's a striker, or a winger. Where was he playing last night?

It seems like we are after a player that can play both, which makes sense with the 25 man squad and GFTS. From what I've read he used to play up top but has been played down the wing more recently - a bit like Vucinic. Wouls provide cover for Ade and Azza in one hit?

Adebayor loan being finalised today...
still negotiating with RM about Diarra. We are not willing to pay anymore than 15 million for him..He doesn't have a squad number and is not included in Real Madrid's 25 man squad so we are playing the waiting game on this one...

We are interested in Ruiz but as a backup option...He is desperate to come and Harry was impressed when we played FC Twente last season...
Just waiting on a few players to leave now...Gio,Bentley,Hutton the main three.

Still chasing a CB too as Bassong is not sure about staying with us this year, Gallas and King have injury problems.. Harry really wants Cahill but there is alot of interest in him...Samba + Tasci other options...

Also to back up the journalist on this one...There is interest in Farfan...We were close to signing him when he left PSV...And Afellay on loan is also a goer...

The priorities at the moment are very clear: Centre Back, Centre Mid, Centre Forward.

And then a Winger (GFTS) and another Striker would be dependent on outgoing transfers
