not really ITK, but i thought id share....

currently spending a week in Ibiza, happens to be footballer central at the mo...

Danny Rose was on my flight on the way out...with a huge brace on his leg, didnt get a chance to speak to him.

Woodgate is at the same hotel as me, havent had the chance to speak to him yet. (although ill try)...

today was at a beach club, Nuri Sahin, Marc Bartra, Sergio Busquets and Pepe Reina were there.. .i think by all accounts, Bartra got married yesterday.. so that's why a lot of them are there.

Was sitting next to Sahin and asked him if he came close to joining Spurs before Liverpool a few years back. He said he was, he was "a day away", whatever that means. I said he should have, and he said, "yeah, you are probably right in hindsight"....

that aside, sahin is very nice guy, chatted a bit, about the new coach at dortmund and how he doesnt know him yet, but was impressed from watching ajax, he asked my son if he liked harry kane and dele, to which he said, he did, but his "dad is Great at football so i play with him"... :)

just thought id share a small tidbit about spurs..

Shouldn't Rose not be flying right now? Can @Lemon confirm this?

The extra pressure on his injury would need ideally to be supported, garlic, ginger cinnamon and salad type foods (keep the blood thin enough to not risk clot to recovery tissue, or hamper lymph function excessivelŷ etcetera). Then personally think he should have a H2O2 + magnesium bath, with cold shower end, and rest.

Dunno basically, would think ideally no, but real world = happy player should be a recovering player, so yeah let him.

To be honest I can't recall what his injury even is, think they are all very similar, what you could call metabolic residue toxicity.

Edit: A&C I didn't realise the thread, sorry.

@SDogg what is it with you always spamming people for no good reason?

@MarkyP was just passing on a little story, so why do you feel the need to spam him?
I've seen you do it so many times when someone makes a light hearted joke or something and the 1 spam rating always seems to come from you, even if 20 other people rate it funny... I bet you carry a clip board around at work.

Can you name me one manager in football that gets every single purchase right?

If Poch wants Barkley then he deserves our backing and the boards backing

Alex Ferguson, The greatest manager of all time got it wrong from time to time. Djemba Djemba and Kleberson to name just a couple.

As others have already pointed out no manager has a 100% hit rate on purchases. Not to mention that not all our purchases would have been Pochettino's first choice.

OK, give an example of a manager in the history of football who's had a 100% hit rate on buying players!!! Actually, don't bother coz there ain't one!!

Which manager has a perfect record ? I would guess all managers have a record of 50% right and 50% wrong at best.

What manager has a better track record at signing quality players - while maintaining a neutral net spend?

Even teams with unlimited budgets make bad signings...

Seriously? You guys think there´s no manager in the history of football with a 100% perfect track record when it comes to buying players?

Obviously not one of you witnessed my fifth go at Football Manager ´09.

What no Hugo? Did I miss the thread? I'm sure I've seen several rumours about him. Still, I think this is a window where I'm more concerned about who we sell than who we buy.

Probably not for the RO but Floydiohead on coys regarding Barkley:

Had a very interesting chat to someone last night who is right in the middle of this deal. As things presently stand, there is no chance of him coming to us, and from what he told me, that is very unlikely to change.

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like a stand-off on price which is consistent with what I'd expect at this point in the process.

Floydiohead's a lawyer I think

JJ responding to someone frustrated at no signings:

"You are frustrated the club isn't "

Quite funny people saying they are frustrated when the seasons just finished. Would be nice to have some in for start of pre season but I'd rather we bought quality than quickly. My priority would be getting the outs done as quickly as possible and then having the money ready to move when the right players become available.
