Think Huddlestone is more likely than Parker, If Sandro gets injured, Parker will be his replacement, Cannot see the Hudd tackling like either of those two, can you?

Was more the fact Ryan saying its someone who we'd be surprised by. For the reasons you give hudd wouldn't actually be a surprise

But surely it at least goes some way to explaining why some people have a certain attitude toward POTL? You've said yourself that you don't understand why he gets treated with a certain disdain (at least I think you have, if not put it down to my being old and senile) which others don't receive. Now you know. Wether it's the internet or not, a bit of civility/humility costs nothing.

Unless you're me, wall to wall testes.

I now understand why people give him grief - though i do think JJ throws out other info straight away and is praised for it (even had to back track once) but thats not really the debate right now.

Either way, as I said - the posting style of ITK doesnt hugely bother me unless its always cryptic (before anyone says, POTL confirmed who blue and yellow were over a year ago) providing that their info is good which it generally is in the case of POTL, JJ and BEN.

With Ade now done, he was the most obvious and attainable transfer target of ours this summer, do we have a real chance of getting Lloris/Moutinho/LD now?

It's one less transfer to worry about going in to the final week. That's how I see it. LD and Moutinho would make it a dream window. I think the keeper situation can wait.

Anyway, you all seem to be forgetting the most prophetic itk we've ever had:

If some of the transfer speculation is to be believed, we received just as much money for Bassong as we paid City for Adebayor.

Here are some speculated transfer fees thus far:

Buys
Vertonghen (10 million)
Sigurdsson (8 million)
Adebayor (5 million)

Sell
Bassong (5.5 million)
Pienaar (4.5 million)
Kranjcar (4.5 million)
Corluka (5 million)

Total net spending on incoming (according to various media reports, perhaps not perfectly accurate, so take with grain of salt) thus far is 3.5 million. That's terrific business, and with Dawson and Modric leaving, we could easily raise have another 40 million in outgoing fees. Surely that would alllow us enough wiggle room to grab at least one more striker and a Modric replacement. Something like: Dembele (18 million), Lloris (12 million), Remy (15 million) is something realistic and would have us flying. Our net spend in that scenario would be less than 10 million, which would surely satisfy both the financial side and the playing side of our club.

Maybe spend the surplus on Johnson?

TBH i dont really care about his personality etc etc - all I care about is his info which imo is good. I wont base my opinions of ITK on how nice a person they are as we are dealing with the internet.

It becomes a problem though when a well respected ITK dismisses info being offered by other people in good faith. Because of his reputation many people will presume anything he dismisses is either made up or misinformed. In other words his slightly arrogant way of viewing other ITK can actually end up distorting (rather than clarifying) our transfer dealings.

Anyway that's enough of that from me. Very interesting to hear that the #9 might still be available.

It didn't Change though fella. He just wasn't privvy to the info 2 weeks back and assume that there must be no way possible Dawson could leave.

I posted at the time that we are looking at moving on some surprises. He hasn't got the other one yet ;)

So who is the other one then? Notice you ve gone quiet since people asked this...........

He's emailing JJ and telling him how mean you have been!

Lol ive spoke to JJ before - i am a big fan of his as i keep saying. However, I am not in the camp of 1 or the other like ryan and a couple of others. JJ gets things right and things wrong, POTL gets things right and wrong, BEN gets things right and wrong - they have all said things can change. I support Tottenham - not ITK.

Wonder how long Ade has signed on for and I also cant wait for him to bang the winner in versus Man City and knee slide up to Mancini and headbutt him in the balls and tell him hes an absolute joke for thinking Dzeko and Balotelli are better than him.

Ooo JJ friends,
oooo POTL friends.

Come on now boys, stop comparing ITK sizes ;)

If you had read the posts properly you would know that hasnt been the case. I havent read that anyone is a "POTL" friend - i have repeatedly said I like both ITK and that both ITK have given good and bad info.
