Wasn't that Adiepf?

Neil Eaton aka AquaYid

 

[freeeki]

Why would we do Chelsea a favor ... I'm not babysitting their players because they stockpile players like. We wanted him before he/his agent thought they were better off there, fuck that.

I don't think he's gonna be popping round for his bottle mate

 

[bat-chain]

1 goal, this season in 15 games, failed at Chelsea.

Turned us down before, thinking he wasn’t something when clearly he wasn’t.

Now being offered around to rescue his ailing career.

So why wouldn’t Pochettino want him? Have a think.

 

[SpartanSpur]

I will go so far as to say this is a lie.

Seems to be coming from Ally's WH colleague, as they are trying to get him in on loan. Guessing that's the rumour over there, or what his agent is saying.

That's all that loan deal for them is, kinda like Kovacic and Real for them.

 

[Mouse!]

We're just taking an ego boost today turning all these people down, after being mugged off by De Jong/Rabiot ourselves...

They're rubbish anyway. We could do so much better than those losers.

I'm not even angry, I just feel a bit sorry for them to be honest.

I mean, who does she think she is turning me down. She'd be lucky to have a man like me.

Women are pathetic.

I'm so disappointed by the lack of links to players today that I'm trying to solve the cryptic that A&C hasn't posted yet .

 

[Lou3000]

The reality of the January transfer window is, that by deadline day, there isn't much season left when you're out of the cups.

I know we all want signings, but we have the depth to compete in the premier league and in the last few CL matches.

Really all I want for today is to let some dead weight go to the clubs that need players (or N'Koudou) for depth, and clear up some foreign roster room for the summer.

 

[Fredo]

It sounds like BS. He wanted to leave Chelsea because he didn't want to be a back-up striker. What's the point in Poch bringing him here where he'd be a back-up striker to the best forward in the league?

AG chatting shit? Ahahaha

 

[soflapaul]

14 league games left, 7 points clear of 4th - do we need to bringing anyone in that Poch is not convinced on? Arsenal and Chelsea both play Citeh in the next two games - if we are 10 points clear of them with 12 to go it will need a Harry style collapse to prevent us getting CL

With the ongoing injury issue and the limited depth, I wouldn't be all that comfortable with a 14 point cushion with 7 games to go. Add to that the inconsistency of our play and the status quo isn't all that re-assuring. Knowing that it takes six months for a player to familiarize himself with the Poch approach and the fact we could lose a couple of critical players in the summer, i'd sure like to pick up at least one high quality signing with a high football IQ (quicker adaptation to Poch ball).

It’s hysterical that there were no tangibly links to anyone this window and people still thought we’d sign someone

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Not only will we not buy anyone in two consecutive windows, we will have sold/loaned out 3 players in that same time frame.

Makes you wonder what goes on with the coaching staff:

(Some time last summer - coaches sitting around a table - drinking a Malbec or Mate)


Poch: "I hate transfer windows. They can be so disruptive."

Miki: "Transfers are part of football. Everyone loves and hates them at the same time."

Toni: "Hmm, this is a good Malbec, remind me to send a case to Lloris when he returns from the World Cup!"

Jesus: "If you hate the transfer window so much, then just don't buy anyone. That would be a good laugh!"

Poch: "Challenge Accepted!"

Jesus, Toni, Miki (in unison): "Wait, WAT?"

 

[cider spurs]

Just a thought.

Instead of knocking back agents for players we don't want...

How's about making an actual bid on a player we do want.

Groundbreaking I know, but I feel this could be revolutionary.

Can’t recall him turning us down. Recall chavs blowing us out the water with an offer his club found ridiculous too good to refuse, along with wages etc.

And In doing so has now a premier league winners medal.

Yeah, while that rots in a box somewhere that cash keeps him nice and warm, he must remember those championship winning days with a tear in his eye ... Memories.

Two men leave, nine months between them.

So he has cash and a winners medal. I guess that’s more than he would’ve got with us

Most likely, that career has gone from strength to strength though, eh?

Probably gone better than it would’ve if he came to us.
