Fucking hell did you have that saved or something??

Nah, I had to memorise it for A&C’s ITK test where if you pass, you get access to the special daily ITK page where you can post pictures and lineups, nobody ever gets banned, and JJ is there every day but doesn’t poo-poo any links. You’re in there too, right?

Who:Ben
Where:FTL
When 6th August 2011

Ben saying Luka felt humbled after his reception today...Niko apparently said to Modric how could he leave Spurs after that...Modric replied 'I can't'

This... one... hurts... I was a pure lurker during this time frame. This is when I really felt salt in the wound.

As for GLC, Betis is clearly trying to drag us down to the wire and moved the goal posts. If anything has been learned from this, although its to our detriment, I am kind of impressed with GLC's class saying he wont force a move. Something kinda classy about it. Granted it doesn't make it easy, but it shows he's got a good head on his shoulders.

I dont get it. If betis is so hard to get a deal with. (Or change the deal 1,2,3 times) why don't we change target ?

I have never seen GLC play more than 1 game in copa America. Is he really so good we shouldn't change target ?

Yes he would suit us perfectly and he's the one Poch wants. So no, we shouldn't change our target.

I am not sure they are hard to deal with.
Seemed to have no issue in agreeing a deal today with a team for the sale of their second prized asset,

Understand the information that the ITKs were fed, but I certainly am not sure that this is really what happened, and in this case to me based on what we are hearing from Betis side, we are the ones lowballing, changing terms, not Betis as they certainly seem prepared to do a deal if terms are agreeable, and that just makes more logical sense.
I am saying that no deal was ever reached at all in the first place in my view, because we haven't made a bid anywhere near their valuation or minimum expectation.

I think poch got more names on his list ?

We didn't buy last summer because we couldn't get the players he wanted and I dont think GLC was top priority last summer.

Because somehow it seems much harder for spurs to buy players. we maybe need to change target when we cant agree with the selling team instead of wasting time and end up with nothing

Or in this case it seems we have agreed but still cant get the transfer complete

I think you are being obtuse. I was responding to the poster in question and me not sharing his optimism with only one player signed thus far.

You do the math... You happy with things as they are then good for you. I do however look forward to your foot shuffle next season.

I know what it's going to be... Oh it was the Euro 2020....We couldn't bring players in any earlier... It's very difficult to do signings. Weve been screwed over by our window closing earlier. Your famous one... We can't pay players for 2 whole months. What if they get injured during the tournament... You see it's easier making excuses.

but I can understand why the other 2 targets haven't yet, and with near on 8 days to go why panic

if they are involved in the Euro's no we won't bring them in early

Sign fucking Lo Celso Levy.

I tend to agree, but what if Betis really won’t lower their price? Do you really want us to pay 75M for Lo Celso?

I think the better frustration is why have we not started having discussions on the next man on the list. Surely GLC is not the only 8/10 in all of world football we’d want to add (and with seemingly 50M+ to spend).

Put some pressure on Betis to call their bluff so we aren’t the ones left holding the bag.
