Not knocking Storts ITK. But Chris Ramseys departure hasn't been confirmed yet. If it has he doesn't know about it.

The reason we asked Storts to stop posting ITK in here years back was that's lot of the time it was rehashed newspaper reports...

Manager - Hey Broomy, I quite like this guy, but I'm not sure - look out for him for me please?
Broomfield - Yo, Baldini, Manager wants this guy, but imo he's awful. Seal the deal with that other guy instead?
Baldini - Hey Levy, they're willing to compromise on the deal, but their club wants loads of money - what do we do?
Levy - Uncle Lewis, can I have some more allowance please?
Lewis - What happened to that 100 million I gave you last summer?
Levy - Fine.
Levy - Sorry Baldini, try and seal the deal for a player that doesn't have a **** of an agent.
Baldini - Sorry Broomy, I got this guy instead for ya. Scout him up for me, would you?
Broomfield - He's class, the manager will love him, we just need the right system!
Broomfield - Here's your new signing, Manager - the one and only, Ali Dia!

Although had there been as much oversight as that there's no way in hell the whole Ali Dia thing would have happened...

I was shocked that Batshuayi didnt make the world cup squad. He is good signing but there is better out there that could make a difference now

He reminds me very much of a raw Wellbeck or Sturridge. He has good pace and trickery on the ball, and would compliment someone like Lukaku.

If we can get hold of this kid it would be a great early signing by the Club.

Does Trix's latest piece of ITK mean that if we get Poch we will most likely get the Southampton player who has the same agent as Poch? Because the only Southampton player which Barnett has on his books is Kelvin Davis.

Or by 'his player' does Trix mean Poch's favourite Southampton player, which I think we can assume is Lallana?

I.e, is Poch saying that Lallana should wait to see if Poch joins Spurs before choosing to join Liverpool, on the basis that he could join Spurs and still play under his favourite manager?

I think Ade's wages is a big red herring. I thought we or they paid a lumpsum when he signed to offset his wage reduction, yet everyone still thinks he is subsidised?

Regardless, his contract is now in the 'sell now or get nothing later' position and he is quite old. Levy will have looked at his player spreadsheet and Ade will have been top of the 'get rid' list. That doesn't even consider the various behind the scenes issues.


Like to see just which eleven PL goals in twenty one games striker Levy has signed a cheque for.

I think the Trix ITK is saying in the context that given news of a Liverpool bid for Lallana has emerged, Poch has at least asked him to await for a bid from us before signing anything.

Barnett's business partner now had Shaw and Lallana on his books, I know for a fact through a friend who knows someone on his books.

Considering the close relationship with Levy and the stellar group this is all looking rather suspect.

I think Barnett has sold Levy on a bundle deal with Poch and Lallana and maybe some others (Lovren? Chambers/Clyne? Rodriguez)

A bundle deal would be very beneficial to Levy and I'm sure Barnett would get well remunerated if it happened.

Could suggest why the Poch stuff has escalated so quickly?

Apparently the agent talk is that Lallana simply told his agent to 'make the Liverpool deal happen before the WC' last week however. So he will likely still push through to go there.
