You were earlier and you still are. Insisting that we don’t have any ITK which is conflicting when there clearly is. We have one ITK saying it’s down to injury and nothing else and another who’s said there’s more to it than just the injury.

So which one is it?
Stop digging! It is not everything you can share in public! Will not repeat all what I have already stated. No dissecting needed (y)

I appreciate you can’t share it I’m just pointing out to the almighty tiger that we have 2 ITKs saying different things. Not exactly revolutionary seeing as you’ve both obviously heard something different. By the sounds of it this other thing was more of a factor than his injury concerns

In the RB thread I said "ITK says it's injury related yes". I didn't say "ITK says it's only injury related". I fail to see why you can't understand this.

There are diplomatic reasons why we share different pieces. You all need to understand that we cannot compromise our sources. Moreso, we honestly have the best governors on this site, and we abide by the rules. Hopefully you understand now.

This isn't the I love Sissoko thread.

Knowing that Poch values Sissoko and thinks he's an important part of the team structure isn't the same as "loving Sissoko".

It just means you have eyes, a brain and can keep your sanity rather than acting like silly children having tantrums and blaming Sissoko rather than understanding a very simple gameplan.

Sissoko wouldn't have played given a fit squad, as has been backed by ITK as late as the last few hours.

Last summer Breezer mentioned that we were going to try and bring back Bale at the end of this season. Hercules has now mentioned that we've secured a signing for the summer instead of Barkley and that Breezer knows why we can't talk about it now. I think we can all see what's going on here. Breezer and Hercules are talking to each other about something!! :confused:
Love it - turning down Barkley on medical grounds in order to wait to sign Bale!!! Ha ha!

But....(and your info is very much appreciated, and the limits on what you can say are understood and I hope respected)...there is a difference between digging, which you understandably want to stoop, and speculating, which no one could or should ever want to stop. Isn't there?

As I say, your role and the value of your input isn't in question here.

I understand the other reason cannot be divulged, but I can't let it go.
I guess we'll see next window how it turns out.
But right now I'm really disappointed, in the decision, and in how we treated RB.
And I really hope Poch is not mad about it like we are. Or else those long term plans mean nothing

We're not all mad about it.

If Poch was planning for Barkley to be Dembele's replacement then as i've said previously this is a blessing in disguise. CM is by far the most important position we need to address. I was happy for him to come in as an AM but I wasn't too keen on the idea of him as a CM.

If we assume there are no significant outgoings then this is really only the position we need to invest in significantly. I would be very happy with just one top class midfielder coming in as I honestly think it could transform us. It would be nice to add into other areas, but we wouldn't be desperately in need, especially if Pochettino finally trusts in the youth players he already has.

I wasn't being serious, but Bale has actually played more games than Barkley since his move to Madrid - 164 for Bale and 161 for Barkley.

Listen up!!!

STOP slagging off the club regarding RB! I wanted it to happen. There is more than one reason (medical) we pulled out. Sissoko WAS Poch’s signing! End of!

I am fully confident that Poch will be backed 100%! Why? Because if they don’t you know the consequences. I would strongly advise everyone to stop knocking Josh, before we loose him. He has access to this forum through his friends. He is not on it, but hears. If we are not careful he will go.

I will not divulge beyond what I have done who our targets are, or who is in the bag. 2 definitely are. If names come out in media etc, I may rethink that.

Keep friggin backing Tripps over KWP, if you
To confirm: this isn't any sort of Sissoko thread.

According some members in the thread, selling sissoko is the necessary condition for us to buy ...
