Is he implying neither MS or imbula is plan A then and its actually someone else? I thought all the other ITKs were saying schneiderlin was definitely plan A

Maybe we knew all along that it was a long-shot, so we were/are pursuing someone else as plan A.

OF course this is just going to make for a manic monday in the morning.

This is how I read it. Weird that everything we've seen so far as that he is our #1 target... I think even from JJ himself before?

Probably just means that our 'plan A' is some mediocre squad player, and plan C was some unlikely possibility that a player capable of improving the first team might be obtainable.

seems to me to indicate plan A is better than MS but he seems to have been our target for some time, or maybe that's what we are supposed to believe

running out of conspiracy theories here but who knows

I remember the summer when we lost Modric and Jj kept refering too 'plan D', which turned out to be Dembele and Dempsey. So maybe 'plan a' isn't refering to the top of the list, but to a name beginning with an A?

I wonder if this is relevant to that mystery argentine and we've been waiting for the Copa America to finish...
Unfortunately it doesn't look like there's anyone on the Argentine squad who fits what we'd be looking for. It's a mostly older group, Lamela is actually the youngest player included. And I won't even allow myself to dream about snatching Mascherano, there's just no way. In fact I can't really find a CM at any of the Copa teams who I would be excited to sign and who might be genuinely interested in signing for us.

many have been calling for an experienced leader alongside bentaleb, ideally a right footer who can read the game well and pass it too. his surname begins with, a, and he lives in london, actually north london already... no, no, shudder, puke.

i want a goiman instead, goimans are cool.

As someone said in the previous itk thread, it could be sarcasm from jj where plan c was plan a all along after missing out on the first two targets. That would make more sense.
