Thought i'd do an update from yesterday. Not sure if all is in the right order because its a bloody long thread and there's no search feature. It may not be as great as those A&C kindly does but what the hey..

We start the day out with much anticipation once again.

is this a transfer window or the Hokey Cokey?

Nope, it's more like a version of Eastenders only its a lot longer and there's a lot more screaming and shouting. At least nobody is pregnant with Modric's baby yet.

We then had some super ITK..

2 out today if things go as expected.

But when do things ever go as expected? As we'll see later on. The poor server never saw it coming :-(

from JTG on COYS

just heard a rumour (and please only a rumour )
Mickeys asked about Pav ........

Mickeys being Liverpool not Wolves :wink:

We then got excited about...

RT @ianprior Major - and boy do I mean it - football exclusive coming up on guardian.co.uk sometime around 5.30.

Please be Spurs. Please be Spurs. Please be Spurs.

Many were expecting something exciting about Spurs. This lead to some more speculation about Mourinho to Spurs. Which was only fueled more by...

From Tango 97 on COYS:
From a very good source (well connected former England player).

Harry replaces Fabio.

Jose replaces Harry.

Within next 7 days.

Not a windup, passing on in good faith.

Well i've never heard of you Tango 97 but thanks for passing on, but then more fuel to the fire came by way of....

Skyderen via COYS:

"For those saying no chance, just wait, it will be all over the media soon."

It may well be in the media soon, what with them trauling through these very sites and all

Then after a long wait and various sites crashing we finally got the huge scoop...

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2011/jan/27/inter-40m-gareth-bale

The server was really on the ropes at this point.

We then had some proper ITK about...well nothing really...

NO PLAYERS HAVE BEEN HERE FOR TALKS.

THE LODGE WAS QUIET TODAY....- The players had a day off- a few staff were in..

Discussions ongoing although no agreements for anyone as yet and yes there are options but not loads!

Agents are talking and clubs but no players in talks as yet

expect 2 or 3 more out (2 probable loans) and a maximum of 2 in at the moment...(one will be loan)

i have no names- Sorry! and ultimately the club arent 100% on the final outcome as yet! so not sure how others can be so sure

Well that sure cheered the place up. Thanks a lot Archibald, now if you wouldn't mind breaking more news for me when i'm about to die :up:

We then had..

Guys its not concrete, but from what I have been told, without pissing on anyones fires.

Its Diarra Loan, pending the nod obviously from Real. And Forlan

Phew. Something to at least be positive about.

POTL then gave us this...

Patience is a virtue. Patience is a virtue. Patience is a virtue.

Fingers crossed.

We've been patient for a striker since the summer now :bang:

This was shortly followed by the "final" piece of ITK by Adiepf which was very long but basically outlined what he has kindly passed onto us during the course of the window.

This lead to many trials and tribulations on the case of Adiepf and whether he was the ultimate WUM, or the more plausible explanation that he's just a genuine Spurs fan kind enough to pass on what he has been told.

So yet another day had passed and this place has become more tense than constipation on a first date.

 

[sparx100]

I hear Suarez is Liverpool bound...... 

 

[rebrab]

Stay pepped up guys. Final day will be like a 24 hour penalty shoot out to Arsenal. Could be great, could be awful, but we're trying and to dare is to do. We're not settling for half-measures and that could either hurt us or improve us tremendously. We've just got to hope and trust in Levy.

 

[Bofbro]

I hear Suarez is Liverpool bound...... 

oh well nevermind he's the one i really wanted aswell

 

[yawa]

Not according to Ajax he isnt, as the Scousers refuse to pay what Ajax want.

 

[spurslenny]

Hands up who thinks we'll sign a striker today.

 

[yawa]

Hands up who thinks we'll sign a striker today.

Nope and tbh im more inclined to think we wont at all. I can see us getting a midfielder in though and probably shipping a few out.

Maybe Parker and some cash and then give them O'Hara until the summer.

 

[rebrab]

Hands up who thinks we'll sign a striker today.

It'll go to the wire I'm pretty sure.

I've posted to the ITK section now as well

[nicdic]

Called it a night early last night after the sinister spin this thread took. Good to see you're still about mate :up:

 

[Sir Henry]

Don't you worry, we'll get Elmander or Carlton Cole.

 

[vonn]

RE : Suarez

Dutch press today still reporting no fee agreed. Liverpool and Ajax had talks yesterday but no agreement. Player training this morning.

[mil1lion]

If wages are an issue then surely Suarez makes sense? He doesn't earn huge wages at Ajax i'm sure.
