The level of confidence in this thread is astounding. I'm not ITK but everything else is pointing to him going Sociedad.
Ballague said he's nailed on for Socieadad which basically means as good as nailed on to us. Banana timeThe level of confidence in this thread is astounding. I'm not ITK but everything else is pointing to him going Sociedad.
It's nothing to do with him not having a perfect record, it's to do with him having an absolutely dreadful record which suggests that he makes things up to appear relevant. I have lost count of the number of times he has confidently said a deal will definitely happen (or sometimes even has already happened) only to be proven wrong. One of the most memorable ones was him talking about Torres during his Atletico days, and just casually dropping in the fact that 'as everyone knows, he has signed for Barcelona and will be joining in the summer' which was just complete nonsense.
At best he has terrible sources and should keep his mouth shut, at worst he's just a self-publicising liar.
This doesn't mean Illarramendi definitely WON'T sign for Sociedad of course, but of all the 'legitimate' sources around, Ballague is perhaps the least worth paying attention to, along with the BBC's Ian McGarry.
Lets get our business done early he said (Levy). What a joke! Can't see anyone of the targets coming in, and we will end with makeshifts again, and look to be offloading circa next summer. Rinse, repeat. Can't get Berahino over the line, can't find a DM, can't get rid of Ade/Lennon or Townsend and then we buy Trippier with no games played yet, Wimmer who probably will turn out for us once in a blue moon, and then we smash out 12m on N'gie who has done what exactly? Could turn out to be another Townsend with just pace and sod all else. Love how our club addresses the issues. Wonder how many we will score if Kane get's injured?
So did AS in Spain, which is what I was referring to.Ballague said he's nailed on for Socieadad which basically means as good as nailed on to us. Banana time

Calm down. Incontinence in not a good look.

Also, Balague may have some bullshit but there's too much smoke going the other direction right now. I don't think we're getting Illarra at all.
Indeed I bet a few of them are awaiting there 10 million inheritance from Nigeria as they have sent their 2k out to cover the legal fees alreadyAgreed.
I mean the damn Njie thread had quotes, fucking quotes, from the Lyon chairman saying the deal was off and then voila, two hours later he's announced as our player.
This time an idiot with a track record of being moronically wrong retweets something and everyone loses their damn mind.
It really makes me wonder how gullible these posters are in real life though.
and at the end of the day, the manager/coach gets the sack yet again.. hardly new? he just likes to test people's patience..Lets get our business done early he said (Levy). What a joke!

YesPaulinho
Soldado
Capoue
Stambouli
Kaboul
Chiriches
Holtby
And then more than likely:
Townsend
Lennon
Ade
Lamela
I am Calm, cause Levy has this right?
Is it To-ela or Toe-la?
Not that this will stop 90% of Liverpool fans accusing Spurs of stealing their targets were he to come to us.... Which will give me many hours of humour especially if he does well.
The vast majority of Reds know Illra isn't even on the agenda as we all get our info from the same reliable people so I don't see why they would make those complaints.
Oh for fuck's sake.
Same fucking shit as the Njie thread, maybe I just need to put the bellends who go and meltdown when absolutely anyone writes anything on ignore. I keep thinking their numbers are bound to dwindle with how much bleach is drank each time, but no it actually seems like the numbers grow. Like a bunch of miserable schadenfreude jerkoff gremlins.
So we have reliable players in the wide positions, back up for Kane in place? Lets assume Ade goes (hopefully likely), Lennon and Townsend, and the probable sale of Lamela. Will these positions be covered in 7 day's? And then we have to find a DM. Let's hope the relatively unknown N'Jie proves to be a gem, because I can see us going through to Jan with just Chadli, Andros, Lennon & N'jie if we are lucky. If an offer for Lennon comes in, he will go. That will leave us with 3 wide players, and one recognised no.10 in Eriksen. Looks great so far. Still don't let my glass half full attitude deter youYes
Shifting players can be hard but we've been getting on with it.
Add your list to mine, and there you have good evidence that we've been doing lots of business early.
Just the final pieces of the jigsaw for this season left IMO.
A DM not being identified and sorted yet is frustrating.
