If N'Jie does join next week (as may have been suggested by some totally non-RO-worthy ITK info), then it will be interesting to see which (if any) of Soldado/Adebayor is first out of the door to accomodate the newbie. I'm hoping it's Soldado.

Clinton it is then.

Cheers JJ btw, thanks for still spilling a few beans here and there!

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Between Rebrab earlier today and JJ just now- I think we can be quite optimistic that we have tied up the deal for N'jie. Although no definites untill we see it officially announced of course.

This must be the player who Poch said on Saturday we had identified and hoped to sort in a couple of days.

 

[raggy]

Thanks for the good news JJ. Hopefully the start of a couple of great weeks for us in the transfer market.

 

[scat1620]

Clinton it is then.

Foresee him picking up plenty of cards this season.

 

[GetSpurredOn]

Njie..... Come on in No7...

Now let's fill that No18 shirt also

Nice bit of ITK to close the day... So long as JJ didn't mean Fazio to Lyon is the Stoof stamp as per previous comments.... Only kidding.

We're only making plans for Nigel
We only want what's best for him
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel just needs that helping hand
And if young Nigel says he's happy
He must be happy
He must be happy
He must be happy in his work
We're only making plans for Nigel
He has his future in a British team
We're only making plans for Nigel
Nigel's whole future is as good as sealed (reminder for @Stoof)

I've been wondering about our great itk's and one question occured to me: do Spurs have the best and most numerous group of itk's in the whole prem? Genuine question.

 

[yankspurs]

I'm going to be wary of the N'Jie thing until it's announced. Lacazette went down with a back problem yesterday. If its anything worthy of missing time, I wouldnt be surprised if Lyon end up nixing the deal.

So, what you're saying is, whatever you want to think is correct. Not what is actually an accurate or intelligent way to think. You are defending someone's persistent ignorance on the basis that "well it's not natural to think about why things are actually happening".

As much as it appears to be a futile attempt, I am trying to get people to think how the club might be thinking. A sentence like "we don't pay the selling clubs what they want" is not a sentence that can be left untouched. I'm posting about why a business may be thinking like that based on real life examples of how you, as an individual, may buy something.

In the same way that my mates want me to buy a house with a big fucking swimming pool and will be fucked off if I don't, my needs as a house-buyer are that I pay the right price for the right quality of house in the right area regardless of how many beers they bring round.

Mates? That's a good one, Stoof, you funny.

No, not what I'm saying.

Yes, I am.

I know. And I started by saying you are right. But fans don't run the business, thus the fans' judgement of how well it is doing is different.

You don't rave on Tripadvisor about a restaurant saying "they are really good at getting dirt cheap ingredients and turning them into average food, whilst charging me a lot. I'm so proud of them".
You rave because they go all out to make you feel going there was worth your time and money.

I'm still none the wiser, but this raised a chuckle, thanks

 

[Monkey boy]

What if JJ was referring to Fazio being sold to Lyon????

 

[Ionman34]

I'm not saying you are wrong. You aren't. But you are presenting a simplified picture.

Fans are not buyers or sellers. They are patrons. Ie. we spend our bitterly earned money, but we are left with no say in the operation. We don't share in the profit. We are not necessarily better off from a "bargain" on the purchasing side. Without being a direct stakeholder, we know we are vital to the business. No fans, no income, no operation. At all.

It's like going to a restaurant. I don't own it. I'm not responsible for the salary, or how hard it is to fetch good staff. I simply want good value for my money. So naturally, I think they can offer higher quality of wine for the same price. Or a bigger portion for the same price. Or less salt in the main course but more chocolate in the desert.

In short, I'm not heard, the restaurant owner doesn't listen to me. But I think I should be offered more for the money I leave behind at an establishment that is not my own. An establishment which only exist because my affiliation with it exists.

The fans fund football. Directly AND indirectly, football exists because fans exist. It is only natural to expect that the club desires to improve our experience beyond a normal framework of how an average buying and selling process develops.

That's in fact why we love ITK. "Does it look like the club finally will take seriously my hopes of improved entertainment, in return for my long standing loyalty and funding?"

It's not really that that is the issue ES. It's the petulant "get the signing done NOW at any cost because I want it" bleatings that consistently ignore any reasoning or understanding of the process for a club in our position.

And they are constant regardless of the nature of the ITK.

It's misery for misery's sake.

Fucking wearing TBH.

But you're always the optimist of the group

There's always one.

And one usually follows twenty...
