This is my optimistic side here but does anyone think JJ is being coy over the whole thing by saying he doesn't know? As rebrab said yesterday there is a reluctance to divulge information as it could attract other suitors, so possibly he is keeping this one secret about what stage we're at and rightly so.

Or he's overseas and doesn't know... ;)

You're not saying other clubs might try and muscle in on a player we are interested in, just because ITK states that we are interested in a player are you?

Google translated that as.....

Tottenham decided to direct $ 20 million of Leandro Damiao, the Saci colorado, for the boy Bernard, Rooster good nozzle.

I think there is some truth on Bernard, got this from ESPN reporter in Brasil.

It says we use Damiao funds for Bernard.... Yippee!!!

EDIT: Beaten to it by Allatsea, the bastard!! Also, would it not suggest that we have another striker (David Villa) in the bag, if we have used the Damiao money?

'Rooster good nozzle' - This must be cryptic surely?!?!

Nah. We're spurs, we won't buy a striker. It's what we do...

Well, I don't care if we sign him or not. I'm still getting a shirt with Rooster Good Nozzle on the back when they're released.

So we could be using Bernard to strongarm Internacional on giving up Damiao.

My impression is that Internacional aren't that reluctant to sell. I think the problem is him and his agent trying to hold out for a CL team or a PSG, Anzhi or a Monaco. I don't think he's all that fussed about coming to us, if he's going to come to us then it will be a deadline day deal IMO. I'm not sure we'll wait that long. Time to move on me thinks.

I had to go with 'Winner' as my rating for that post, Bill. Funny just wasn't enough, had me in bloody stitches :ROFLMAO:

I hate to dampen the mood, but it seems these days very little happens in the way of player interest without a single ITK knowing about it. The fact that we have had nothing on him from a reliable source is a bit worrying, is it not?

This is true, however who expected Rafa VDV to arrive a couple of seasons back? nobody did

I agreed with your post but, to be fair, Bernard, unlike VDV, isn't being whored out to anyone who is willing to take him off his clubs books because he's of no use to them. VERY different situation indeed.

Most sensible post on Leandro I have seen
