Sounds like someone leaked a smokescreen that we were close to Batshuayi to encourage other players to lower their demands.Am I the only one who has no idea what JJ is saying ?
Sorry I've only just got home and just going through the threads. Only just got to the Chelsea but in the Bats threadAlright, alright. Now's not the time to go back and start rating this "Optimistic." @y1dk1d!!!

There's known knowns, that's the things we know we know. Known unknowns, that's the thing we know we don't know. And then there are unknown unknowns, they're the things we don't know that we don't know.
Taking into account JJ's "intersting" comment about he DM story about Bats, I would hazard a guess that JJ is hinting that the DM piece might help remind Maresille that Bats wants to come to us (not Palace or West Ham) and they need to money before 5th July, so they should stop messing around with fake stories (Palace Bid) and drop their asking price, as they need the money more than we need Bats.Am I the only one who has no idea what JJ is saying ?

But then I usually read too much into things.
Thanks, didn't realise that.He's gone to Chelsea mate - medical tomorrow.
ITK could be about Janssen/Sanabria I suppose.
JJ gave this a win.A reverse smokescreen
Now we just have to figure out what a reverse smokescreen is.JJ gave this a win.
can't wait for the people to come out and 'justify' missing out on MB as a positive thing
Or perhaps we leaked the story about Batsuayi on his way to us in order to flush out the true buyers in Chelsea who always intended on jumping in to gazump us at the right time. Its better that we learn this early that a club above our pay grade wanted him and will thus take him, than it is another 2-4 weeks down the line. We can now concentrate on option number 2 on our list with plenty of time still to spare.
Now we just have to figure out what a reverse smokescreen is.
It's alright Snarf, I have figured it out. A smokescreen is a lie to direct attention away from the truth, so a "reverse smokescreen" must be a truth, to direct attention towards a lie.Be right back, going to watch Inception one more time.
There are teams that can spend 40m on a player and have the player fail and there are teams that cant...simple as that. Sporting reasons, hes a good player who can be great. There are other strikers who are good and can be great also..he's not the end all-be all.
yeh and Levy has conned you into thinking we are not one of those, yet Crystal Palace are ahahahaa

So, before we try to work out what the truth is and what the lie is, we first need to work out why we would want to use the truth to cover up a lie.
I don't post very often but I think I've figured it out. We put out the vibe that we were going for batshitcrazy then Chelsea bids and wins while we swoop in for their main target Morata. Cue the optimism.Now we just have to figure out what a reverse smokescreen is.
