Come on dude, firstly this isn't really the thread for guessing and secondly there's very little chance of it being Tolisso anyway.
Big money mover from the Bundesliga in the central midfield position. Bayern weren’t too happy with him as he didn’t quite make the impact they were hoping. People were guessing what central midfielders we could be looking at from Germany yet nobody mentioned his name. That’s why I just asked would our fans be happy were we to splash big on him. Never mind.

I was just trying to discuss the Germany and the CM ITK. Apologies if it’s in the wrong place or what have you.

What's interesting to me looking at some of the players we've had ITK with mostly Martial and Andre Gomes is that they haven't been picked by their nations world cup teams, I feel like this will favour us as they will be hungry for a move and to prove a point whilst also being well rested. Another side bit is a few others we're linked to don't have world cups; De Light, Sessegnon even Bale, I think there was ITK about Cristante too or Trix alluded to him in Jan. I wonder if this is purposeful. Poch has said he won't be watching the world cup and our ITK links so far have for the most part not been going.

Sorry to disagree, but even if Poch has said he won't be watching the WC I call that BS. What top level manager (or any level manager) won't watch the WC? That seems to me like Poch playing up to the media as he is a pro and it's his job to know who's out there and this is a showcase for everyone going to the tournament- It's a long time ago but Ricky n Ossie spring too mind.

Yeah I worded it a bit flippantly, I meant he wont be attending to scout, He said he's watching it in Barca.

If Rose can get back to his pre-injury best, then I'd love him to stay.

Not going to go over 'that interview' again, instead hoping we can get the little chap back to his tenacious best.

Apart from obvious strengthening, the less upheaval the better.
But you sort of have
I sort of haven't. ;)

At no point did I mention my thoughts on the matter.

Latest ITK says he is staying. That is all I wish to focus on. (y)

As already stated, if we can get him back firing on all cylinders, more than happy with this news.
You did. The fact that you brought it up when I for one had forgotten all about it

Things got a bit nutty last night; would really appreciate it if you could hold off any itk until about six this evening. Got lots to do, and any events bordering on The Rapture today could really derail my plans. Cheers
Ok fellas, the doc is free from the obligations of mundane activities that plague every day existence. Thanks for waiting. And I'm expecting itk in 3...2...1...

Apologies again for the Tolisso suggestion, to prevent even more negative ratings I will just delete the post and refrain from posting in here again. I didn’t realise I was breaking the rules, so I’m sorry about that.

I don't think he meant he wasn't watching the world cup. More that he wouldn't be signing anyone purely on how they perform at the world cup (like dumitrescu)

Most of the ITK we have had is in players actually not going to the WC! Hence also easier to deal with timing wise.

Should think so. Those kind of comments play havoc with my piles

Nah, keep posting just read the rules. People have only mentioned it because they don't want to see you banned.

Too late. You've already ruined the entire transfer window.

I hope you're proud of yourself.
