I don't dream about anyone...except myself....

A girl I know posted a photo of herself with Adebayor on her facebook today, seems he was in London.

Naturally I asked her what she found out about why he was in London and if he was signing for SPurs.........

but of course she herself had asked him none of these questions rending this little piece of "ITK" about as useful as the whole "we have signed Lukaku on a pre contract" event.

It does appear he was/is in London, although having lived and worked here and probably still owning property here we probably can't actually read anything into this (although perhaps it can strengthen, even if only by half a %, what other ITK's have already confirmed in regards to us having discussions with him)

I've put a bid in that I can't play golf later whilst I'm sitting here shaking like a shitting dog

It's fucking massive Friday people

A&C I would never wager my testes on anything.

Let alone 7th hand information from a worried player or drunk agent! :)

You called it. Diarra and Adebayor. Saturday. On the line. :grin:

dont ban me, i'm not posting twitter links. I'm on phone and doing this quick. But footy agent 9 reckons we're close to agreeing fee for llorente. I might just join the 'jizz' brigade.


updates:

Blue- wages still the issue.
Yellow- trying to negotiate fee. Lack of willingness from other clubs to meet fee or show any concrete interest are working in our favour.

Diarra- looking more likely as the days go by.
Jj- correct has been offered an extended deal- mainly as happy to fight for a place/be a squad player.
Hutton- will go to villa.
Bentley- like trying to shift ice to an eskimo.
Gio- agreed sale to udinese.

There will be more.

Potl

But has Gio agreed to Udinese? Wasn't that the sticking point all along?

Well that football_agent_9 on Twitter seems to think it could be Llorente. This was posted prior to POTL :



Should be in the Twitter thread, but I'm just showing that Llorente is still thought of as an option, at least to some. Also, that lions being yellow is doing the rounds on COYS. If that's what it's come down to, bloody hell. I personally think it's Rossi.

Morning all

There was NO medical yesterday. For Ady, for me or anyone else


Archie on SO

You know what I think Dan is doing?

Almost finalising a deal for Diarra, then right at the last second say no actually we can only pay (a smaller fee). RM then have to either accept that bid or have him rotting on the bench (or not even that if he's not in the squad)

Should be a few deals done by Tuesday :)

We could be making it a Triffic Tuesday :wink:

Looking like 2 out by then and should be 1 in, possibly 2. I wouldn't be surprised if more go out the door though by then.

Later in the same thread Archie also responded to a question about whether or not he'd bet his life on Adebayor and Diarra signing by the 1st by saying 'don't know at the moment' so he's not saying it's definite...just that it looks promising.

Dont believe the Diarra price.
I was the first to break the Diarra link before any one. http://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=76510
I also told that the price would be around £10-12million plus add-ons.
Madrid NEVER paid the reported press price so wont be taking a hit. I can say that with 100% guarantee.

Wages never a problem with Diarra. I said yesterday its waiting to be finalised your end. when whatever Tottenham are waiting for Diarra will be signed.

Definitely not the first to break the diarra piece I'm afraid :-D

Not advisable for Dan to do that Rebrab - Another top Premiership team may come in for him.
I should be getting more news by Sunday evening, will pass on. I hope we haven't mucked up our blessing.
For those who keep saying they were 1st to mention Adebayor, I posted some mods and wrote Adebayor on radar long time ago but lets not fight, let be happy we may finally get our striker.
Crouch and Keane too should be off soon...

Probably more opinion than itk, but Archibald posted later in reference to City not selling to a rival..

"we arent seen as a rival anymore! Arrogant maybe but lets swallow our pride and finish above em"

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but if someone as well connected as Archie reckons City no longer consider us rivals, maybe this really is the case.

Quick bit of info. ( My source is reliable, He has told me stuff before but i don't think it's wise to post on Internet Forums but there is a first time for everything)

Llorente = DEAD IN THE WATER, He doesn't want to leave and his agent has told Levy, We are moving on. He also wants CL Football if Bilbao sell him but he is not demanding a move.

Adebayor = We were interested but deal is dead, Adebayors wages are silly and City are not even willing to pay 1p to help us. This deal won't happen because Daniel won't offer 180k per week. We don't want to buy him

Diarra = Verbal agreement betweek Levy and Diarra's people regarding wages, Levy is trying to get haggle Madrid's asking price slightly down but this deal wll happen.

Rossi = He has rejected us as he wants CL football

Nilmar = Harry wants somebody to lead the line and money can be spent elsewhere

Eto = We enquired but Eto's wages and Inter's asking price has killed interest

Kaka = Nothing, Don't know where this link has come from and we can't afford him.

Samba = Blackburn want cash, We ain't offering much cash until deadwood leave.

Keane = Erikkson enquired for Loan but Levy wants to sell.

I think secret spurs is probably more spot on, than any other ITK in my opinion.

It doesn't really go against them though, if logic is applied.

My contact said we are trying to get Lorente in, but in his opinion we won't succeed/too many stumbling blocks.

Ade - wages/City.. unlikely... never know though.

Diarra looks a goer.

People are definitely goijng to go, sooner or later.

It's the spurs way, lots and lots of links, but not much in terms of finishing off, if that makes sense.

ITK info is simply what is happening at any given time, nothing is definite with ITK as it changes so quickly.

Shanks, I thought you said that you don't know much the other day?!...and yet here you are speaking the common sense that is so rarely applied by some in this forum! :clap:

Shanks, is your contact the same that told you Forlan was at the Lodge?

Dunno about that, ITk is simply behijnd the scenes information, you have more chance of being right by saying so and so won't sign!!

It's not about right and wrongs, these is where credibility is pointless, because no-one knows who is right or wrong.





Yep and he still insists that he was, and told me that it didn't go ahead (obviously). A couple of spurs players are my contact.

An Arsenal mate of mine claims that a well respected Scum ITK says that they're offering Bendnter and Cash for Rodwell, Jagielka is a smokescreen. Also says that Spurs have made enquiries too.

We will pull something out of the bag.

Harry is at Everton, watching the Villareal game.

Rossi's a lively little chap isn't he?

Has there been anything that's not been included in the SC ITK forum?

Harry#s frustrated that we've had no major signings so far

just interviewed on ITV4

well hearing that interview with Redknapp!!! we aint even the slightest bit close to signing someone!!

it could be a long season

Guys...are you believing that even if we were close to signing someone, Harry would have said in the interview:

"Yes, we're sooo close signing both Adebayor, Diarra and one more, we're announcing it now so other clubs can come in and hijack the deals."

I don't believe him at all when he says we're miles away from signing someone.

Got told off the other day for posting a link. But one red top tomorrow is saying 28 million for yellow.

I know my posts have been a little bit on the light side this window, but I repeat what I am being told. We want Rossi, We will bid for Rossi,Harry beleives Rossi would come.

Ive not been told different yet
