JJ speaking out about makes me have my optimistic hat on and hope it’s close

 

[Japhet]

Fuck off, I’m only giving a fiver

Doubt Gareth Bale would wipe his arse with a fiver. I think you should keep it.

Someone challenges him that he previously said it was close and he replies "when" so I wouldn't get your hopes up.

An exchange on Twitter with JJ:

@J7Shorthouse: Carlos it is then. Any chance of Gareth coming home too?

@jetsetyid: that sits solely with DL !! His fave his money !

Wow he didn’t rule it out!

From a window of frees and loans, to a *potentially £40-50m ST and GB?

He didn't said it was close, just ITK aggregator on Twitter misread his earlier tweets

Best delete and out in the Vinicius thread.

Thanks guys - late time here...

@leesmith81:Any guess of percentage of happening?? Know you probably won’t wanna on here but is it more likely than not? Seems this time is the best chance we will get. If bale wants it hopefully his agent won’t get in the way. The deal if true with wages paid must suit levy to the ground.

@jetsetyid: it sits solely with the chairman and depends on his whim- agree it’s the best chance we have however if you want my opinion I would say it won’t happen but as a fan too I would absolutely love it if we got the same Bale we had before !

 

[Twizzle]

sounds like a realistic view

Couple of JJ updates on Bale in the player thread

 

[y1dk1d]

@jetsetyid: I think it would be amazing however not if it means not bringing in other players due to $ or if that gets mentioned as an excuse at the end of the window - you have to remember I’ve seen this movie before ....

 

[Snarfalicious]

I’m excited about Vinícius. He’s got the physicality to really work in the PL. Amazing talent and probably the perfect José striker (next to Kane). And yes, I’ve still only watched 10 minutes of highlights of him.

 

[ButchCassidy]

Grasping at straws me thinks!

Ha! Vindicated in the Vinicius thread

We all have.

But Levy is a fan, albeit one who operates in a very different way to us. From the ITK we've had this window it seems like Levy's kept a separate piggy bank on his mantelpiece for an out of the ordinary signing - whether that's Bale returning or whatever is up to him, but hopefully that 'self-indulgent' signing doesn't impact on the meat and potatoes of building the squad we need to do better this season than last.

Fair play. Really well spotted.

 

[worcestersauce]

Think about it, JJ basically said we can have Bale if Levy pays the money! How do you feel now?

Dragon:

Carlos Vinicius is definitely An option And we have an interest , due to Mendez involvement there is a high chance he ends up at us or wolves
if it’s wolves then more chance it releases Jimenez to us
whilst we are talking to 4 or 5 strikers now and Trying to get one in at no point has deeney or the Zambian boy been mentioned

my personal feeling is it will be the 22 year old I’ve mentioned many times or Vinicius , or if Vinicius goes wolves then will get Jimenez , I’d say josh king is 4th in line now

 

[RobjDerby]

Lots of updates in/from lots of different places. Thx all ??
Hope we start to hear details and that we’ve progressed to the next stage on a few of these soon. ??
