Im beginning to hate transfer windows. It's all the links to fantastic players we never come close to signing. Just wish we signed more players like sigurdsson and Verty. If we just went out and bought Dembele, Adebayor, Sturridge and Sinclair we would be so hugely strengthen and they would probably all cost less than some of the people we chase!

Spot on and I'd cream my jeans if that happened.

I'm in total agreement with the transfer window comment. IMHO it has totally fucked football. Over inflated prices, more power to players, even more power to agents and less time for coaches and managers to actually do what they are paid for - ie develop a team capable of entertaining and pleasing the people that care so much.
I fail to see one advantage of the window system. It is farcical.

If we are going have to have a bloody window, it should close at the end of July for the summer one. Before the leagues start.

Jim White on deadline day

Have to admit, being a Spurs fan makes deadline day so much more worthwhile. You know we're going to cause a stir, so it's awesome viewing.

I called this a few weeks ago myself, it's become a joke really. Completely agree.

Long-term reader, first-time poster.

I remember us revelling in the unprecedented 'triple-signing' of Chimbonda, Mido and super Steed Malbranque! I just hope Jim White doesn't go live to The Brittania stating we've brokered a deal for Cameron Jerome at 11:20PM come deadline-day.

Could be worse, imagine being a Stoke fan finding out on SSN that you have just brokered a deal for Cameron Jerome at 11:20pm on deadline day...!

I would have the wee Scots laddie strung up by his gonads if I had my way - he is a total pain.

What's this 'Edmonton confirms' thing about Ade?

Edmomton is a poster on COYS who is ITK regarding the stadium: very accurate and early. I don't think he posts much about transfers so if he's backed this up I'd think it's pretty reliable.

JJ just stated we will replace Modrat...
Which whilst it might seem obvious, is nonetheless nice to know.
Does Moutinho still come? M'Vila is off to them lot? Who else? Hmm...

@jetsetyid please tell us the enquiry for Chamkah is a joke from that arsenal journo john cross!

The original JJetset ‏@jetsetyid
@Neilo1986 i cant comment on this one yet.....

 

[JKendall13]

The original JJetset ‏@jetsetyid
@Neilo1986 Ha ha sorry i couldnt let this one go too far!! Its complete bollocks. I wonder if J Cross got paid for those words he wrote?

Hahah luckily JJ was just having a laugh. Could you imagine us getting Chamkah? /shudder

 

[Matrix]

I was just about to search for the razorblades.......

 

[blitz]

I feel this is the most interesting part....

Garry Drury ‏@etchedchaos
@jetsetyid Bet Levy is pissed at RM offloading Sahin to the scum#movethosegoalpostslevy
The original JJetset ‏@jetsetyid
@etchedchaos Is that official? That he has gone there?

Garry Drury ‏@etchedchaos
@jetsetyid Not official official but BBC have jumped on the bandwagon, BBC aren't infallible but they get the scum news almost always spoton
The original JJetset ‏@jetsetyid
@etchedchaos RM have been a little bit deceitful then ! Thats it, lets keep Luka!!

 

[etchedchaos]

Knew Madrid were playing silly buggers with Sahin, now we have an idea of why Levy has moved the goalposts.

 

[cracker man]

We would have to go some to beat Frazier Campbell and Raziak, but I think Chamakh would have blitzed it, thankfully it's just bullshit.

 

[AngerManagement]

An Arsenal friend on my facebook just posted the Chamakh to Spurs story saying "please let this happen" so its fair to say he is highly rated at the scum

 

[PrettyColors]

has JJ replied to any other tweets than the Chamakh one? Anyone asked about the other striker?
