I could've been wild and I could've been free...
Harry says that he thinks Adebayor 'will probably happen'.
But then again, his ITK track-record is surprisingly disappointing.
12 noon I think.
Storts possibly hinted yesterday that they'd be announced subject to medical to get them through in time for that.
I'm wagering my ST on something being announced today. They will be NO press conference though
It's noon the last working day
So 12:00 today for Utd
Im speakin to my source at the club at about 10am will post if there is any news on adebayor or diarra And was told the medicals for loan signings are slightly differnt to normal and alot quicker if the club want them to be so deal/deals could be done by 12 in time for utd but even if they are both players hvnt had a pre season so will both prob start on the bench.....
Archie on SO regarding Adebayor and Diarra :
Not wishing to contradict anyone but neither deal is finalised yet...
very likely and very confident but up to last night after the game neither had been agreed formally
Not really :shrug: has his source been verified by the mods?
I just refuse to believe we had a press conference arranged and then it was cancelled 75%.
Anyway Archie's info sounds extremely plausibile and yet still positive.
To be fair i was told they were arranging a press conference today for 11am by my source then he called me bk and said someone in the press office said that had all been put on hold coz the deal hit a snag wit the paper work? So obviously it wasnt cancelled it was just never all in place they were settin it all up then the deal hit a snag so thats why the press wernt informed? Im only tellin you the info i got guys didnt wana cause confusion or bad vibes. And im gettin verified as we speak and for the percentages thing my bad i only wrote what he told me maybe should of just said but there is still a small chance deal could be done by 11am and new press conference set up! sorry my bad.
Last one I can recall was someone like Dean Richards about a decade ago.
EXCATLY what I put last night,
We certainly don't do them
Nearly all loan signings, even if there is fee don't tend to have Medicaid
But maybe because of us paying £2m (supposedly) and half a large wage we may run a basic one
Not just him but Bond seems fairly confident too...from 5 Live this morning:
Tottenham's assistant manager Kevin Bond tells BBC Radio 5 live that Luka Modric is not for sale and could be fit for Monday's trip to Manchester United. He also says he expects striker Emmanuel Adebayor to join the club and replace Robbie Keane. "It seems like that's more than speculation," Bond said. "From what I can gather I think we're trying to do the deal. It looks like he's [Adebayor] going to come in and replace Robbie Keane, and it would strengthen our squad if it's able to be done."
You'd have thought.
Although If I were to guess, I'd say that it's probably not City delaying the deal, but some sort of formatting of the paper work.
Basically I'm guessing.
If anything it won't be the player, agent or clubs.
Be It the FA or EPL.
Tbh that was the info i gave in my ITK last nite It was a paper work problem with the league and how the deal was structured.
Yeah makes sense fella. Normally the way, two lads I know who were loaned couldn't believe they never had one.
Saying that we bought VdV 'Subject to Medical'
according to someone on SO we're signing Eto'o
can't get on there myself anymore
I can promise you we aren't
I'm on there and it's really not obvious where ...
Ah ok I've found it, in a thread titled 'will he'.
It's all bollocks. Just some guy with a bad reputation for chatting shit implying that Eto'o is on his way...seems to be based on the twitter tweetshamacallit about a 'special' player being set to join.
peanut on COYS regarding the "Special" player that CNathaniel from NVA Mangement referred to via Twitter :
Can only be Diarra.
I think that says there's no one who's agreed to sign other than Diarra, if anyone (not included Adebayor).
Ok guys just got off the phone to my ITK and its gd and bad news!! The reason adebayor was thought to all be done was because tottenham and city thought they had agreed a loan fee and how much each club pays his wages But when they both faxed the copys of the paper work to the prem league/ or eachother he didnt know which? The amounts of wages and loan fees were different :s it seems both teams thought they agreed different deals? So both clubs are now tying to agree the deal again! And not make a mistake this time! It seems both parties want this done by monday at the latest!! By all accounts have been workin on it since very early this mornin!! Hopein to get it done today!! And if he does he will let me know as soon as he does Now diarra deal is ment to be all nearly done he was told wilson was ment to be gone by now? Thats y the deal aint gone through yet? And he has been told diarra will be at the man u game
Monday but even he said he has his doubts deal will be done and diarra at man u game if wilson hasnt gone by then! But he did say arry wants him here by next week so mite all change and let wilson go after he signs? Sorry nothin concrete guys but that was all he was told sorry for the delay!
It seems he was told the reason the thought they had agreed diff deals is because DL is in america they are dealing with another group of board member over here and man city have a few diff people in there camp tryin to get the deal done (didnt say how many!) and they seemd to get there numbers mixed up coz of so many people involved with deal!! They said they are now all together in a meeting face to face tryin to agree a deal and it is only a matter of time before it is done Sorry about being so sketchy it was the reason he was told deal didnt go through this Morning! He is on the case tryin to find out info for me thou
No I'm serious. I've sat on conference calls and afterwards the team have sat down and we've all agreed the approach we're going to take, what was agreed etc. etc. Only for the other side to come back and say XYZ when were totally thinking ABC.
The devil is in the detail, as they say, but people coming away from calls thinking one thing has been agreed and the other side thinking another is not uncommon at all.
Well a passed Diarra done two weeks ago, and Wilson was always the hold up, but he's been agreed for ages now.
Makes sense on the ade stuff.
Kaka rumours STILL won't go away either
No chance of them playin against utd unless deal done by 13.00? I have just been told by txt. No more news other than that... Plus they surely aint fit enough even if they do sign by then?
Dairra was in Town last night pissing it up. This isn't looking good is it
Jasper on SO:
"As Archie has alluded very close, all agreed as RM said (done), just nits and bits (paperwork)possible med appointments, whilst Adebayor's will be less stringent. From what I know pretty confident."
Just been told by my source he is at the training ground and he has been told that all mobiles have to be turned off today. He said thats kinda strange? Noone normaly asks that? He aint sure if its a wind up by sucurity guard? So he said he will turn his phone on and txt me if he finds out why?
Might be a surprise face around the place today, hence the media blackout at the club all morning...
My pals due at the lodge at 2 to sort out Bents future. The first team aren't due in today (the team from last night) - can't see him turning his phone off!
So if Diarria has got up from his hotel room with a raging one fair play to him! But if he's there it would be everywhere by now
Apologies for my lack of activity last night, was up up in sunny Scotland for last nights match. Met someone VERY interesting there, but that's for another time!
All the formalities and financial WERE completed yesterday, for both Ade and Lass. I was also informed that it would be announced yesterday. It's all gone through, we're just waiting on FA approval. Due to time constraints the paperwork was completed subject to medical, which they should both pass anyway. Since the paperwork has been submitted to the FA in time, then if both are fit they will be ready for the game on Monday night.
The ball is firmly in FA's court now...
Than why don't we announce it subject to medical ?
If I knew that, I would have posted it
Firstly, Jacob on COYS has simply said, "not true" regards the phones having to be switched off. Secondly, he's just posted this :
Harry's learning to say 'run about a bit' in three languages.
Not a clue what that means.
well i was told late last night that Ade was done, so one way or the other, its pretty much there...
My source has just got out his meetin and he says it was about players we are still looking at at where the scouts are goin this weekend wouldnt say who just said we are now sorted in all postitions apart from cb, and cm, and they will be the players scouted this weekend so he said he was told striker ( adebayor) and defenceive mid (diarra) deals are done now! Waiting for people to dot the i's and cross the t's were his exact words! and about the phone thing he said his other collegues got asked to turn there phones off to?? And that is normal for when he goes into these meeting? So dunno why people are sayin otherwise? Every senior meetin i go to nowdays peope get asked the same thing so surely this is same everywhere???
I was only saying wat he said. And tbh it sounded like that to me as well!!! I thought he ment as soon as he went through the barriers he got asked? But looks like i got abit excited and jumped the gun when he calls bk this afternoon with where were drinkin tonite i will ask him exactly wat happened as tbh i need to get more clear on where he got asked as well!! As well as scoutin targets Sorry guys about the phone didnt wana mislead people! Sorry ..
