Cheers mate

Anyone got the video?

 

[Twizzle]

nice interview, he could be an ambassador for the club and he isn't even a Spur just yet, he really seems to love us

 

[StartingPrice]

Fulop's skill hinges directly on how much agony he can cause us. So if he was a gooner he'd be shit hot.

Good point - Gawdam, he's like a wasp, he serves no purpose, whatsoever, other than to sting us

Aqyayid's "one down" - is that a reference to the signing of Vertonghen, with 4 more to come? If so, it would kind of imply the other 4 are imminent...I wonder who...?

And has the somewhat annoying use of "Vertonghen" been banned, as, thankfully, I haven't seen it bandied about much in the last couple of days.

2 strikers, a winger to backup lennon, and a gk id guess

Apparently JV has just tweeted that nothing is confirmed and he is still an Ajax player?

 

[ChristianBaler]

You're a bit late to the party with that one.......

 

[Qualsonic]

I'm calling it early...

Today will be a BIG day!

Well, perhaps behind the scenes...

 

[buttons]

Ah apologies, didn't fancy the trawl through the 23 pages.....recent posts still seemed excited by his interview!

 

[Spurvert]

You bastard lol!

Tomorrow, I meant tomorrow!

Clockwise from top left, Dozzell, Crouch, Ruddock and Modric.

 

[Mr Pink]

From reading the quotes on the interview and seeing how Sky broke the news etc...and he continued to answer questions in the conference, its quite obvious somebody has told him to tweet that comment afterwards, just to keep things right until its absolutely official.

Agreed, it was far too quick a rebuttal too. Sounds like an official was right on him as soon as he exited the conference. Because I doubt he'd take back all that so soon after the conference voluntarily.

Absolutely, I only saw the full quotes about ten minutes ago. Definitely somebody has told him to state that as he obviously wasn't supposed to say as much as he did - which the press loved - and was told to state that he was still an Ajax player. Pretty obvious when you think about it.

Bless him, excitement obviously got the better of him

Apparently he was quite taken back by the attention he was receiving on this, that probably led to him sharing more than what he was supposed to.

Wait until he witnesses the reception we'd give him, he'd fall in love with the club instantly.

 

[spursandbarca]

Wow there is some drama queens on here

hope you like the rain lol.

FYP.

Definitely. Why else would you jump on Twitter so soon after an interview?

One of the things about Twitter in Football is that it gives people the opportunity to make quick 'as good as official' statements when necessary. With easy Twitter access via a modern phone it's easy to get your message across quickly, rather than wait to make a statement through other channels.

Yep exactly.
