Very disappointing to see us still not sorted out at this stage, the change of management had me fooled that DL might actually back the new guy and learn from mistakes in previous windows.

Poor show.

 

[AngerManagement]

If LD is go, I hope we have it done in time for the Newcastle game, Ade hasn't had a pre season, therefore wont be match fit for the first 3 or 4 games of the season by which time we could be adrift of the chasing pack.

LD has just lost a major final and may well be on a downer, if we do sign him I wouldn't want him in the spot light straight away anyway

Rather he play second fiddle to an Adebayor while he gets up to speed with living in a new country, playing a different type of football and gets used to his team mates. Wouldn't want him thrown in the deep end with expectations to hit the ground running or instantly be written off as an expensive flop.

In my opinion if we do sign him he should be seen as one for the future first and foremost and blooded in in similar fashion to Sandro.

Exactly my thoughts. And then when Ade goes to Africa for a month LD will be on just coming to the boil nicely!!!!

 

[Bobbins]

If wish people would stop saying Adebayor won't be fit - he hadn't played when we got him in last season and had a great opening few games.

What everyone needs right now is a new page uploaded in the OS and the big smiley man looking back at us..... F5 at the ready I think

 

[Mr Pink]

When will people realise DL is a bit of a problem. he holds us back as much as he takes us forward.

if we don't achievement something in the next 2 season he has to go.

 

[Mr Pink]

Dear God Blockbuster - I so badly wanted to rate that dumb.

 

[Paolo10]

Careful now, you'll be labelled a blasphemer.

Oh and by the way lads, it's old for a reason, just like most of our negotiations are old and like most of the ITK.

It's old because it's been the same thing for at least 4 fucking windows...and guess what? IT'S STILL NOT SORTED WITH THE FIRST GAME DAYS AWAY.

I think people rate your posts 'old' because there isn't a way to rate a post 'repetitive boring whinging'.

 

[EJWTartanSpur]

I know Akqa is majorly prone to jumping the gun and getting over excited, but surely he wouldn't be producing the F5 OS comment without some pretty big indication of complete confirmation ?!

I wish there was a "tiresome" rating.

Hopefully he'll redeem himself with this and Adebayor will be announced today. If not then it's just becoming ridiculous. Every day another cuddly toy/duty free announcement tweet

ties in with Ben's info regarding the Ade announcement....

I just think he has read other ITK and various media reports and is just tweeting what he thinks is going to happen. It's just his opinion.

 

[tttcowan]

Paulo and blockbuster... Jesus... You talk about it like you actually have any idea at all about what goes on behind closed doors at board level. You've no idea which decisions are Leves, which are Lewis, which are made on the advice of other board members. You act like you have access to the business plan, the balance sheet and transcripts to conversations both internally and with 3rd parties...

The internal workings of a spurs are not on sky sports 1 or espn. This is not a football match. You literally have no idea what you're talking about.

On the other hand, why would Mancini try to put more pressure on Ade with comments that he has no future at Man City if he was close to being sold
