Fake site apparently, reported elsewhere too but nothing concrete yet. Looks likely though

 

[Akqayid]

Hi Akqa - was that your top bloke lying on the fence after we scored the first...?

(That's meant as a joke mate )

Hhaha'

 

[Brazilyid]

Is Alan Sugar ITK now?

I would say yes he is and can't see him leaving himself open to abuse if it wasn't true. He has had enough of that from us lot in the past so would say it's nailed on.

But I'm sorry for posting here was just in the twitter thread so lost my bearings.

FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE:
THINK about this:

1. That reported fee agreed with RM for Modric could also include a player thrown in the deal.
2. That reported fee is just what we are saying publicly because we want Moutinho and Lloris / LD cheaper.

For some reason I don't see Porto's big kahuna and Aulas' being taken in by this cunning subterfuge.

Levy to Aulas: 'We only got €23m for Modric! Straight up!'

Aulas to Levy: 'Hawhaw. Disez-la aux marines, mon brave!'

Fake, like the Luka/Sahin one a few weeks back.

 

[Akqayid]

Well I guess he did say Juve too

FFS

 

[etchedchaos]

Juve's official site and twitter have nothing about Llorente on them. Nor does Bilbao's.

 

[nedley]

Juve have announced the signing of Llorente for €35M. So that was pretty short lived.

Yep. You cant compete with that.

Cheeky £15m bid for little pea?

 

[Only 1 Spurs]

Akqa has just said this also? that hes gone to Juventus...nothing on SSN either?

 

[Spurger King]

I've never considered Llorente realistic anyway so I can't say it would be a surprise. At least it would mean he's not joining the nomads.

It's fake!

Granero. Was the player I instantly thought of when I saw Ackie's post. Can play defensive mid, or more advanced, and can even play wide right. I think he's quite an underrated player, and I could easily see how AVB might think that he would be a really nice option in our team.

 

[CJMurray]

Yep. You cant compete with that.

Cheeky £15m bid for little pea?

Cant play up front on his own, very poor link play, doesn't hold the ball up. He's a more clinical Defoe inside the area, and relies even more on service than JD - he can rifle in long shots and create his own chances (to an extent).

So, pass.

Top news is the Juve museum getting its 40,000th visitor, unless that was Llorente of course

It appears I may have been duped by a fake Juve official site announcement. Who has the time in their life to do that?

My bad, sorry guys.

 

[Only 1 Spurs]

I just don't get what Pull the Italian league has from a football point of view? its poor!! i would have thought the Attraction of the Prem would be far more a place to be to test yourself at the highest level instead of a league of corruption?

 

[Blackcanary]

Yep. You cant compete with that.

Cheeky £15m bid for little pea?

Funnily enough, I posted in the twitter thread earlier about someone claiming we'd bid 9m for him!

 

[Only 1 Spurs]

Ahh

My bad, sorry guys.

Indeed Akqa has just said the same now lets get the geezer!!

Posted on RO. Not on twitter.

Might explain the delay in Ade

.

Er dont think so. The delay with the smiling cuddly bear is rather obvious, it is because of money (either Adebayor's wages or his payoff from City).

And do you seriously think with Tottenham's wage structure and our lack of Champions league football, Levy is stupid enough to waste his time and try to tempt Lorrente to come to Spurs.

I can just picture Levy telling Lorrente or his agent "Dont go to Juventus, although they can offer you champions league football, and a wage of 120K a week, come to Spurs, we will offer you Uefa Cup football and a wage of 35K a week plus a 100 quid bonus for every goal you score".
