Tuesday's round-up is full of ITK and rants. Lovely.

Firstly, kudos to our Chairman Daniel Levy who has discovered a novel way of doubling the value of a Bentley. Filling it up with petrol.

POTL kicks off today's ITK when he posted

[Re Update 308]

He [Modric] was sick-end of story.

Which was then followed by:
We are not pre-agreeing prices for Bale or Luka. Period.
That cleared that up then.

Archibald then started a guessing game when he posted

Hopefully we can start moving some on!
Fingers crossed then..........

POTL on B&Y

Major work going on to secure the blue part of B&Y this week.
Initial loan its looking like.
So now B&Y has 'parts' and my how the lemmings lapped it up. For the record and after extensive research I can bring you a list of players to whom each part of the B&Y riddle can be attributed.

These names include, but are not limited to:

Leandro
Diarra
Adebayor
Parker
Benzema
Lakuku
Rossi
Afelay
Kaka
Zamora
Llorente
Lucas
Zigic
Samba
Hernandez
Huntelaar
Pjanic
Forlan
Negredo
Osvaldo
Hazard
Marin
Mata
Eto
Krkic
Drogba
Cahill
Rodwell
Sturridge
Bastos
Johnson
Cole
Higuain
Beckham
Na
Bougherra
Shawcross
Ilcic
Lassogga
Lichsteiner
Gilardino
Nilmar
Neymar
Beckham
And.............Dave.

And there's no point in wondering 'Is so and so part of POTL's B&Y' because at the end of the day, no matter who we sign, EVERYONE is B&Y. Worst of all some of you STILL don't get that.

Then some new ITK

Got this text on saturday from my source, which you can put on the forum " Shopping in Spain, exit door wide open, very quiet at the club which is usually a good sign"
Meh, signs don't cut it.
SwedishSpur with info regartding Nilmar
Swedishspur said:
Where: SO
When: 01/08/11
...ho hum, according to some old UEFA contacts back in Spain we are closing in on the signing of Brazilian star Nilmar from Villareal. He's played for Villareal since 2009 but according to my Journo friend he's keen to come to us...
Previous club in Brazil was Internacional though I don't know if he's played with Sandro, but I suppose he has.
Just passing on.
Then on COYS

I'm quite confident, that if Lass signs, I will mean he will be "a third" signing. Lass ain't the Blue or Yellow, would be VERY surprised if that was the case.
Lass ain't the B or Y? How can you know that when POTL himself doesn't even know? :)

And that was that for the ITK

Bill Oddie sent me a text the yesterday saying 'I have dailysex :('
How is that a bad thing? I asked......... Turns out he meant Dyslexia Eek

Oh yeah and one last thing.

I'm looking out for Spammers today so if you're thinking of spamming, think twice!

Why you looking for Spammers A&C? Surely they're Claret & Blue not Blue & Yellow?

Thanks for the round up and fingers crossed.

Seeing as we've had one or two say Diarra is close.Hopefully that happens imminently but having been here with Vucinic rumours previously it wouldn't shock me to see this roll in comfortably into next week.

Everton draws ever closer. We really need to speed things up.

The only way I'd accept that potl was genuine with his blue & yellow malarkey is if we end up signing an epileptic banana.

Morning all!!

And isn't today the day Gio is allowed to leave (according to some recent ITK) because it's the anniversary of us signing him and the re-sell percentage due to Barcelona reduces significantly, or something?

So it def looks like Lass is gonna sign sooner rather than later according to the ITK, hopefully it goes through soon with Sandro & THudd injured. I also see the Daily Fail is passing on our own ITK (regarding Lass & Benzema for first option on Bale) as their own story :)

Anyone notice the picture of Benzema on Greyfox's bit of ITK? Is this supposed to be a 'hidden in plain sight clue' or put there on purpose to get us talking?

Also, did anyone see the column in the Metro regarding the signing of Diarra and loan of Benzema? I think it just goes to show that the media outlets are that desperate not to miss an exclusive they will trawl the likes of twitter and fan forums for rumours just so they can say they broke the story if they ever happen to be correct!

I'd say the same goes for the Internet gambling sites such as Skybet who slashed the odds of us signing Kaka only a few hours after we were discussing the likelihood of that happening.

Or perhaps more of the ITKs than you would think are actually journalists, or their sources are just as open with journalists?

Just to emphasise your point A&C, you forgot to add Hulk and Rob Green to your B&Y list.


Just saying!

Did we sort out the 'storm is coming' ITK from yesterday? Forgive my ignorance again, but it's related to Real Madrid right?

There is no real confirmation on that, only opinions.... There were a couple of Madrid fans on last night that said the only connection to Madrid for White Storm was a book that got published of the same name...

Some one suggested it could be stadium related... It could of even been in reference to Joey Barton...

Cheers yido_number1 - I seem to remember the White Storm name being used previously by ITK's as a referance to Madrid. If so it ties in with other info on Diarra and potentially an other player.
