POTL made his reputation by leaking team news. He's never been particularly hot on transfers.

He also has a particular PR agenda which led me to speculate that he was Charlie Wijeratna (or someone in his team).

That's true, pottle loves a bit of team news!

I do wonder if JJ is Levy's son Josh though. Cracking source if he is and sort of explains why he didn't get into trouble for leaking all the juice in January :)

ITK is fun, but you deffo need that salt to go with it :)

Another rumour was that he was matey with Lennon and other players and used to work at Spurs training ground until a couple of years ago when he went to QPR - coinnciding with poorer ITK except when Adel and Kyle Walker went to QPR but good team news. Difficult to know which is correct - except by tracing over a couple of seasons which ITK is correct (remembering that some ITK may have been correct but circumstrances change so that some transfers do not happen)

Too young to be JJ. Karen isn't even 40 remember!

Pretty sure that Josh Levy is already 20 yrs old. Read it somewhere last year about DL giving him shares or something.

Plus, you're never too young for footy gossip! The trouble I got into when I was 14 for calling the premium rate ClubCall for Spurs gossip!! :D

I just had a thought... How old is Daniel Levy's son Joshua? Anyone?

J Jetset...

No, he's definitely not.

But there endeth the guessing games over ITKs, please. ITKs are a bit like Batman. If their identity is revealed they will become powerless and we, the public, are the ones to miss out.

And they hang around gay blokes called Robin.

Fair enough! :)

Ha! Christopher Nolan would never go near the Robin with a barge pole, and rightly so.

And to think, the Gooners still have that shit banner with the crap pun.

I agree... Sometimes i do question the scouts at Tottenham. How did they ever come to the conclusion Bassong would be good enough. As soon as he went on Loan to Wolves, i remember saying they're doomed! few months later they're relegated! :LOL:
£4m + would be amazing. As for players in exchange, i wouldn't mind Manuel Fernandes but not sure if he's good enough for the Prem. Similar style of player to Dembele.
Bassong was immense for us, alongside Dawson, 3 seasons ago. TBH I think he has been monumentally mismanaged since and this destroyed his confidence.

If he goes I wish him well and hope that he regains the kind of form he showed for us when he and Dawson were rated the top CB pairing in the PL.

And they don't wear hockey pads, a tip for all the wannabe ITKs.

Also if Lloris signs, I will donate £10. Is there a thread for donations? We should set one up for summer transfer donations;)

Bassong was immense? Come on mate you can't be serious!??? His positioning is shocking. The guy is left footed and can't kick with his left foot. Every time the ball was played to him, he was like bambi on ice. Reminds me of antony gardner! If he was half decent HR would have kept him at Spurs and not bothered signing me that useless rugby player nelson! That just shows how highly HR rates Bassong.

Bassong was promising when we first got him but rapidly declinded after that, few injuries and King/Gallas/Kaboul keeping him out of the team has destroyed him. We would be lucky to get a decent amount of money for him, could potentially be another loan unless we can convince someone to take him from us.

Will take a lot of convincing! Knowing DL he will want top money. Looks like we're stuck with him just like JJ

That's not likely the case because I remember JJ being critical of DL before and he wouldn't likely do that to his dad, he would probably be singing his praises.

Deadly serious, you must have missed the season we qualified for Cl no? Dawson and Bassong were rated the top CB pairing in the PL. That isn't MY assessment, it is the assessment based on goals conceded, you're not going to say this was down to Gomez are you? :eek:

He's bobbins now, that I will ont argue with, but he has shown that ha has the capability.

The game against young boys springs into mind. I know he scored but his performance in that match was shocking! I guess we all have different opinions.... I just hope someone will take him off our hands this summer. DL will demand big money which will probably put off foreign clubs. Maybe one of the promoted teams will give him a go...

To be fair the whole team were shocking in that game,he's obviously a confidence player, seemed to do ok at barcodes, although they weren't too sad to see him go were they, hmm
