Which side are you on? JJ or the rest?!

Now then you ITK guys lets get things organised and stop this roller coaster in it"s tracks.

JJ says only a few know what's going on. If the 8 ITKs who have given their views today talk to each other we wil get great triangulation on sources and information and sort out whats going on and who is telling porkies once and for all.

Until the next time that is.

Trust sky to twist Soldados quotes -

Tottenham new boy doubts Gareth Bale link-up as Real Madrid move in

Actual quote

"Bale is a great footballer and you can see the effort Tottenham are making to prevent him from leaving. Of course, I want him to stay."

Im still hearing different to everyone else :eek:

I thought you retired? If your gonna spout ITK it had better be good news ITK, not, I repeat not bad news ITK.

I can liken today to having really good carnal relations with some fitty bird, and she wants it up the tradesman entrance, just as I let fly with my special man yoghurt she yells that she is actually a HE.

Pissed on our fireworks
Rained in our parade
Etc....

But somehow I think we are all going "lalala lalala can't hear you!" Whilst reading your posts.




Thanks for info though (I think) :)

we don't need to sell, his contract isn't runnin down

Madrid have spent heavy already, where in blazes they getting 90 million cash from

Levy probably doesn't want to sell to save face

AVB and a Paulinho were given assurances he is staying (pretty good ITK)

We kept Modric for another year even though he was acting like a right shit and Chelsea were offering mega money

hmm I trust my own instincts that he is staying until I see something official from the club

Hate to badger you with questions but: Is it possible your source is behind where things are currently? I.E. his info is from a week ago? Or do you reckon everyone else's is behind a bit? For some transfers it seems your info is way ahead of others' info, and on some it's behind the times, so it could be either.

Or could it be neither of those? Am i wrong completely in assuming the difference in ITK is due to a timing thing and rather your source is in a different circle than the other ITK's? Not trying to speculate on your source but the difference in what our ITKs are hearing could be down to he or she being in a different circle. I.E. yours potentially being "inside" the club and the others being linked to agents or jounros whom have been told Bale isn't going to keep potential transfer target's prices down.

Not to speculate but we have seemingly gauged who JJ's source is and his 'ITK' worth (the source) could only be trumped by a handful of others involved in the club.

That's a fairly lazy/recycled opinion. He was actually at the heart of a hell of a lot of our good play. He's got an eye for a through ball and he's not afraid to shoot. And aside from Defoe, we don't have too many that actually pull the trigger.

If you listen to Gary Neville's commentary of our equaliser against Man City (yep, another big team, another goal) - he describes his position after Martin Tyler states that he's an odd player because he's not really a forward, a winger or an attacking midfielder, simply someone who is good at arriving late behind a full back and actually scoring goals.

Yes he may have scored a bunch of tap-ins, and scruffy goals, but if he wasn't there, we would have dropped some crucial points.

He gets panned for lack of work rate, but whenever I've seen him play there have definitely been players more guilty of that offence.

With respect Stoof, that is just not true. He wasn't at the hub, he was in the way. And he shoots mostly because he lacks the eye for a through ball, and many of his shots were ridiculous long humps that he shouldn't have been taking.

And rehashing Neville Neville son's opinion is also lazy.

I'm sure if we do sell him it's going to be with a ton of cash coming our way and likely a couple of good/very-good players (either included in the deal or separate purchases). It won't change my outlook on the way this squad is shaping up.

Dude

Dude, seriously.

Take a 10 minute time out and process things before you post. You're changing your mind with every new piece of info.

You're worse than Fazza.

I've a large bet on it!! its irrational worry!

I didn't realise the squad had been announced already guys?

Isn't Bale injured anyway?

Relax

xo

Surely we're not buying Bale being injured for over 2 weeks with an injured arse? If we expected him to stay he'd be in the squad.

But you are speculating as you and others have done before and you have been wrong then as you are now. :)

I'm going with the ITK's that have the best record this summer!

Best record means that their source is better right?

I knew I would be picked up on using the word speculate in that sentence, I concede that was a bad choice by me.

Okay I'll hold my hands up then if others and I are wrong about who we thought it was!

jj has already said that if we do sell Bale - then players from Real will come the other way. that takes the worry about not finding replacements out of it I guess. as I imagine we'll be pushing for di maria
