You want ever get any reliable info from RAWK. There is no-one on that forum who hears anything other than whats in media. TLW, and lesser so ESst1892 is a much better forums for that sort of thing.

You have to remember though that on LFC ITK (including me and the best connected Journos) all that's ever passed on is what the Club WANT or BELIEVE to be their truth. Same for most clubs.

For example, someone criticised me for posting we weren't interested in the player then 2 days later saying the opposite. Thats the nature of ITK. For all clubs. My info comes from my friend who works for probably the national Newspaper with best links into LFC (mainly because nearly all their writers/reporters are die-hard Reds and started at Liverpool Echo which has direct line into Ayre).

He was told when the Fail first linked us with Soldado that we had no interest at all and wasnt the type of ST BR would want. Few days later the link intensified so my mate asked the club again for clarification and was told we are now interested and will pay the release fee once Suarez saga was sorted. Their are several reasons why the Club could of changed its private briefing, maybe to sooth fanbase in light of losing best player, as well as many others as part of the whole circus and game of the transfer window.

I'll I can do, and any ITK at any Club, is post what LFC are briefing behind the scenes. It won't always be 100% on the money, no ITK ever is due to the games Clubs/Agents play, but getting from inside the Club, in terms of info, is as good as it gets I'm afraid, and you just have to hope the Club are telling the truth to their favoured sources, but it is much more reliable then getting info from Agents, players, staff, players parents etc.

Anyway, this my cheer you up, LFC are considering going Legal/official on Arse over tapping up Suarez due to their very precise £40,000,001m bid. They have never had permission to speak to Suarez/Agent, so there is no way they should of known the precise nature of the clause and then made that bid. LFC made same mistake with Christian Ziege and his release clause and got done for it so were quite savvy in this side of the games laws.

Oh FFS!!

Yes, some are acting very confidently about any Pool links. I know we've had the upper hand for the last few yrs but we're hardly Bayern Munich and Pool aren't exactly Bamber Bridge FC.

Would i be right in saying that if Saurez is the domino, and this deal needs to be done early into August (which isnt far away) due to this tax/release clause, If Liverpool go in for him Saurez is on his way shortly? i just cant see Pool jizzing the release clause on Soldado without buck Tooth being on his way.

Thats better. I should have learnt my lesson from when I tried to waterboard myself in the bath.

Don't do it. At first it's easy you put the flannel over your face and poor a little trickle of water, all you do is pull your lips back and try to breath from the sides while gritting your teeth. But then the trickle becomes a flow and you can't do that anymore, your body goes into panic you think your drowning and your limbs flap uncontrollably.
The dog must have thought it was some sort of game or that I was in trouble cause it jumped into the bath with me. I'm telling you the Americans should use this technique because if my panic level was at 8 it jumped to 20.
We both started thrashing about in the bath and knocked the bubble bath over, our thrashing created a mass of bubbles that went all over the floor.
That's when the wife walked in to see what was going on. She took one look and walked out again without saying anything. She wouldn't talk to me the whole night, and trying to explain didn't help.
The next day she asked for a divorce. Happiest day of my life.

What time is the Valencia Milan game, or has it been played?

AVB: Shall we have one of those posts where people from Spurs talk to each other to highlight someone's perception of the internal workings of the club?
DL: No, they are boring, hackneyed and they're all over the place.
Joe Lewis: Oh no, the person typing this post can make me say whatever he wants. I hope he's not childish. Boobies! Dammit!
DL: They'll probably make me out to be a tightwad too. Just because I cut my own hair! I mean...that's not tightwaddery, that's just sensible! The cheap thing would be not to wear out the scissors at all and go round with hair like that Brian May chap and his wife. Actually....

I hope to Kerist FSG do play the "I'm a biggun'" for a couple more weeks. If they sell Suarez, or are nearing so, they'll have more than enough money to pay the release clause and have the wages freed up to blow us out of the water.

Also, Bobby only just got back yesterday so him being in the stands means the square root of Fanny Adams.

So far, we apparently have the money to do the deal immediately, the player has agreed terms and is practically straining at the leash to join us. Positive positive news. Yay. Except now a total media blackout and Valencia's attempts at signing a striker themselves could give us a run for our money. Other teams will start to sniff around, and one already has if rumours are to be believed. Nah, something isn't adding up here for me and I'm beginning to turtle again.

Until the contracts are signed, I'll assume it's going to end in the most painful and disastrous way for us. It usually does.

Wait until something official from any of the clubs. If he is signing for Liverpool, then they'll announce it and we move on. If we announce it, then we laugh at Liverpool.

Levy: You ever heard of a guy called Pokeyspoon?
AVB: Can't say that I have.
Baldini: Nope nor me.
Joe Lewis: Is he the guy with one post on SC?
Levy: Yep. That's the guy!
AVB: So what?
Levy: Well, he's used his second post to try and write some post-modern thing where we talk to each other and he's making subtle digs about my lack of hair!
Baldini: Mamma mia
Joe Lewis: The swine!
Levy: Yeah, well i'm not having it. I've instructed Donna Cullen to put a press release out demanding any reference to my lack of follicles will be met with a stern high court writ for slander.
AVB: But you've got no hair Dan.
Levy: You're fired
Joe Lewis: No he's not
Steffen Freund: You guys are so funny.
All (apart from Freund): YOU'RE FIRED!

I hope so. Assumed it was and dont post random twitters. Just the fact it has such a ridiculous number of followers :(
Pffft. Nowhere near as many as Kim Kardashian. I'm not confident myself but when she starts tweeting about Bobby to Pool I'll sit up.

And knock the OT crap off right now FFS. I go away for an evening and you wankers had multiple freds locked. Give your heads a wobble. I'm a nervous wreck about this deal as is. You're tearing me apart. :cry:
