Well time truly is circular as it's the same thing every window of late. We get built up thinking something great will happen and then we're left (mostly) disappointed come transfer deadline day. JJ is just the sobering voice of reality - save yourself some pain and listen to him.

Who needs sobering up? Last i checked pessimism was the pervading emotion around here and has been for the last two weeks. If anything we need some good news to get people's spirits up.

Well JJSet is pretty sure that no deals are signed up as of tonight despite POTL and others.

He is saying movement (without being specific on players) before 31 August but not before Saturday

A summary of his tweets :
In General :


56m The original JJetset@jetsetyid
I love reading all the other ITK as it gets my hopes up but sadly nothing is advanced or close as they say. Sorry if I'm negative but??

The original JJetset@jetsetyid
Look I can't actually say what's going on for many reasons. My prediction is still players coming in but by the 31st not sat

The original JJetset@jetsetyid
I want to lighten the mood as it looked so bright a month ago:0( Can't currently but hope I can & when I can you will too xxx

The original JJetset@jetsetyid
I hate to say this but forget this week & knowing our plans for the future I think it will come good.

Re Ade :

The original JJetset@jetsetyid
I think everybody knows that Ade deal is there to be had but nothing had changed from his side in 6 weeks


RE Modric :

Question : True or False: Luka has been sold.

We don't even know if the LOC is for a player!!!! Yet people already assuming its for a big bid.

Agreed.

I'm sure Wishkah said he was involved in an LOC for Aaron Ramsey going to the goons. That wouldn't have been a particularly large sum, relatively speaking.

Course Levy will not get caught out again.

There'll be no Fraser Campbell/Rasiak signings this time.

I have it on good authority that RM will sanction a last minute deal so their fans do not get wind of it.

Yes it's RonAldo,

Slim Shainy on FTL Re: Llorente (For some background info, he said last week that he was told by a friend who was told by the Bilbao chairman that we had had bid for Llorente. He wasn't taken very seriously).





Sign ade on another year's loan and sign llorente on a pre contract for next year!

Done.

Everytime I hear a positive ITK, JJ comes with negative. I don't know who to believe anymore :cry:

When asked about it he said it categorically wasnt martinez as you say but couldnt confirm if it was AVB. There have been things he has got right - but he certainly hasnt been spot on. Said repeatedly that we would have a striker by newcastle and then today said we wouldnt. Said we had talks about Lloris and then when asked 2 weeks later about the link with Lloris he said "what link?", also said no to a number of players but then last week said one of the players he said no to could be an option but again wouldnt commit to a name. IMO he changes his mind too often and often posts quite vague ITK. Not bashing at all as I enjoy reading what he and others say but like everyone says - pinch of salt required.

Another example of JJ's reliability is many many times when stuff has been doing the rounds (you know how it goes, one comes out and says something, then we get several others "re-iterating" the same ITK), JJ has come on and said, hold up guys, this isn't happening as far as I know. And guess what, it hasn't been happening. There is very little sensational, attention grabbing stuff from him.

Interesting tweets on the other thread originating from Spanish TV broadcast - which are not inconsistent with JJ's answers tonight, but suggest thinhs could move more quickly. Maybe JJ just tryinhg to cool down the ITK temperature !

While I am sure JJ is accurate, I just wish he would say things which isn't just opinion. The best way to keep information clear is by not clouding it with emotion. If nothing is happening, just say nothing is happening. This does not apply only to JJ a lot, if not the majority of ITK's do the same thing. Anyway I remain relaxed.

I don't know how JJ can be so sure there won't be anything this week. As he says himself, things can change so quickly behind the scenes. Who's to say it won't change in a positive way? I know it's cheesy but how can he be sure of what tomorrow brings? I'm cautiously optimistic. At least on Adebayor.

I am not ITK.

I understand and agree with the reasons why we don't sign very expensive players, and I don't get excited by rumours.

But I have a feeling - and I don't know why - that we are going to sign.........whisper it.......Llorente.
