I got my fingers crossed sprinkled with a little bit of hope for him coming.

I would love it if he did along with some of the other targets we are supposedly in for.

Makes a change from the usual hate and angry filled January transfer windows.

I'm sure it's BS, but there's been whispers Moutinho will be at the Lane today.

Don't shoot the messenger :unsure:

Well it's not like you are simply a messenger, you decided to post it here even though you and probably every one else thinks it's bullshit. If you think it's bullshit then don't simply post it here since it probably is just bullshit.

What is wrong with somebody coming on & sharing the fact that there whispers within WHL about a player who could possibly be coming in? I remember a similar situation a few years ago, on an evening of European football, when there were whispers circulating around WHL about a certain fat & jolly Dutch man about to be given his marching orders. What happened that night again?

Not looking for an argument, simply pointing out that these whispers that circulate around many football grounds, eventually turn out to be true.

Right... I'm sorry, I forgott that we want bullshit "footballagentspursITKinsider" twitter gossip here. Have you guys heard? We are signing Ronaldo, Messi and Özil.

Don't shoot the messenger.:unsure:

How can the rumour that he was at WHL eventually turn out to be true if he wasn't there?

I don't know that it is true or bullshit. All I was saying that there was nothing wrong with somebody coming on to say that there whispers circulating that the player was there. He was only sharing info with others, where's the harm in that??

P.S.. May I enquire as to how you know he wasn't there? Although I doubt it very much myself, is there any reason he couldn't have been in one of the directors boxes without any supporters knowing about it?

Jesus was at WHL today in one of the directors boxes without any supporters knowing about it. But some how it ended up on twitter even though no one knew about it, how about that?


Yeah thanks for that!! When you grow up, do you want to be a fire engine?

Back on topic. I'm curious if Holtby might have a little bit of an effect on Moutinho were it to happen.

Holtby has the ability to play as a deep-lying playmaker or as an advanced/attacking midfielder.

I'm curious as to how AVB would view Holtby's long-term prospects. I haven't seen enough to suggest that Holtby has the sprawling range of passing that Moutinho has, but if you put a guy like Holtby next to Dembele in front of Sandro in a midfield 3, you have a really, really good pairing that can create a lot of space for goal-scorers as well as create goals for themselves. It'd be quite the sight.

So that being said, maybe if Holtby happens, we shouldn't be too distraught over potentially not getting Moutinho. The instant pay-off would not be felt this season, but as a 22 year old coming in on a free, that could be a really great addition to our squad and to our club via potential future sell-on value.
