POTL ITK sounding good. Although one does question what is the point of hiring Don Franco if Levy's had to take charge of negotiations to get it over the line.

Sounds like the Modric situation when Commoli couldn't close, and Daniel went over there to sort it :)

AVB says talks are ongoing. POTL says we believe we can agree a fee.

I need something more concrete.

Where can we go from here apart from announcement on the OS or Soldado saying in the press he's coming


I think that's about it. Him not training tomorrow would be pretty important as well. I'd imagine that would be the next we might here (if he did or didn't train) if an announcement isn't made.

I think this has been the case for a few days now. We are just getting ourselves in a tizz playing off each others doubts. I havent any concerns that this will go through. Benteke was different, I believe we only had a look at him and werent convinced Villas value met ours - he only had 6 months of a good season as he was pony before christmas. Not £25m. Villa was worth every penny we supposedly bid but cant fight personal preference, he obviously didnt want a new challenge in a new league at 31 and you cant argue with that - he went where he was happy not for money (I would imagine). He who shall not be named (that brazillian chap) was never proven at a top level and there was a big risk in the fee they were demanding. Soldado is a completely different ball game, a classy, proven, prolific goalscorer, someone we have needed for a long time, who wants to come and 'can' be the difference between scrapping for 4th and maybe aiming that touch higher. If we want to keep Bale/AVB this is the one thats required.

Have faith.

Go to the ITK thread and search POTL. Looking through his info has been really good. Probably one of the more trusted ITK's. (y)
In my very humble opinion, he is the most trusted! He rarely speculates and when he is wrong, it is usually about a deal that has broken down after he has said it is ongoing.

He's back to training tomorrow. I imagine the Valencia board will demand he trains, they've played it tough up to now. If anything it's a great way to force our hand to get something tied up before he goes and breaks his leg.

Would he realistically be expected to play given his first day back is supposed to be tomorrow?

He's on the Valencia ads for it

It's not unrealistic to expect he'd get 20 mins

How cheap is that too €5! Almost worth a day trip

More Soldado talk and less talk degrading women please :rolleyes: it doesn't make great reading.
Yes. "Women are objects." Not exactly Shakespeare is it.

Sod it, think I'll do some work today. Might as well make a token effort and this Bobby sumbitch doesn't look likely today.
