Sorry Mr. Nicdic

Most kind of you to spare me a hiding.

And on top of that to divulge some very interesting information.

Who else isn't convinced by Willain; I wouldn't mind aslong as he was being signed as a winger NOT as the Modders replacement

Hottie donates = many likes. I donate = bugger all likes.

Bastards the lot of you! :ROFLMAO:

Just kidding. Had to giggle cos it reminded me of being at a bar trying to scrape together pennies for a pint whilst my beautiful female friend got free drinks all night!

Because I'm kind, I've cleaned that all up. Posting fake profile links is summers old, and we revisited it yesterday too. If some of you are that bored there is a whole world out there that you could go and explore.

Failing that, here's some fresh ITK for you. Not sure if he's passed on info before, but a respected member of FTL...

Who: faceyb2
Where: FTL
When: 23rd August
Wasn't he meant to have been here last Monday as well? A second visit has to be a good sign of something imminent (if true).

Anyway I will post my first ITK in moments...

Watching AVB's interview in a minute...

And from the snippet of him talking about Dawson, reading his non verbal cues, I can tell you quite categorically that it certainly is NOT "a privilege" to still have Michael around by the end of the window.

AVB wants him out, probably to wield his own influence on signings and squad members.

Fits in with JJ's "if things align" ITK

Will read more and report back

Bit of an odd comment to make unless your ITK hints at a better understanding of the situation.

For those that haven't seen it, the interview - in which I think he looks his normal diplomatic self - can be viewed below:

EDIT: He seems ever so laid back too. Answering questions honestly and even joking with the reporters with respect to him being redundant after the Chelsea experience. Seems being Spurs manager puts him in a different "dimension" ;)

As most football fans will know there are two ways to judge a player properly; youtube videos and FIFA/football manager. For the good of the club I am testing out Isco on these parameters. He has passed the youtube test with flying colours and the FIFA test has ground to a halt as some idiot is playing call of duty on my playstation. Once the test is completed I will post the results on here and send an email to Daniel Levy with my opinions on him.

I'm sure Spurs would already have performed the identical tests anyway :D

Hope Daws leave.
before you all "dumb" this i will tell you why i want him to leave;

He is currently our 3 or 4th choice CB, but is a player we could get 9 mill for. I think in order to strengthen more important areas, we need to shift players out, and Daws is a player we could get a good amount for without weakening our team much.

For all we know VdV is the next name that on that list of players we could let go for money to strengthen other areas, and will be sold unless we get in money from other sales? And if this is the case, i much rather Daws leave. Sure its speculation, but its obvious we try boost our transfer kitty atm.

Players like bentley, Gio and Jenas is hard to sell, especially for any decent amount.

Van Der who?

As I posted the other day, I really do not have a problem with Spurs selling any of the players for the right price at the moment. Of course I have favourites and those I enjoy watching more than others, but I'm currently buying into this AVB project 10000% :).

If we are going to do this, remodel and progress I don't think any of the playing staff are untouchable. It must be done for the right reason though. Progress and an upward climb.

I've seen too many of my faves come and go over the years at WHL.

Agree with your post in general but, for me, Bale is the exception to that

(before we end up discussing that endlessly - I mean that as things stand and with his performances, attitude etc. I wouldn't entertain selling him. Clearly if he stopped trying or agitated like Modric it would be a different story)

Thank you for the link, just watched the interview. I like AVB more and more the more I see and hear from him, he seems very sympathetic and - most of all - intelligent! It is a bit strange to have a manager who, as it seems, holds his cards close to the chest and does not keep on blabbering about everything that is going on... Wonder if I have a man-crush moment here... :love:

nice hedging, seeing as almost all our current rumoured targets are Latino. So that's:

Leandro/Willian/Llorente/Moutinho/Isco/JulioCesar/Ramirez/Bojan/GioOut

But still, something's better than nothing.
