This must be the 100th time we've had "I've heard something but I'm drunk" from an ITK - albeit it was mainly Eatson. Then they don't clarify for a good few hours, "sorry I was so hungover - basically...". Is it some weird kick people get out of knowing that a bunch of strangers online are here waiting on bated breath for word from them?

I'm not meaning to "bash" but it comes across as attention seeking in the extreme. If you've taken the time out of your night of drinking to make a teasing post - why not just actually share the info? Seems like a pointless exercise to me, but whatever floats your boat.

Quavers are the shittest crisp going, fwiw
Didn't you ask me just the other day to be a bit more happy-go-lucky?o_O

Strange that Trix doesn't think the bid for Zaha was serious. Was it just us reminding other clubs that we have other options and won't hang around forever?

Did Spurs genuinely bid for Zaha?

Edit:

Probably should have gone into this one a bit more, to late. It's friday.

If it is just shows us up to be a 2bit Arthur Daly in our approach to dealing with clubs when it comes to transfers

Considering it triggered Zaha basically asking to leave, if it was just a ruse then it's a pretty shitty thing to do imo.

Regardless of any ITK and media reports saying it is independent of the Count Dooku transfer, my gut feeling is that is has everything to do with it and it's stalled again for whatever reason. Let's face it, this transfer has been on and off more often than a whores knickers and it's still yet to be finalised and it's my belief that we are now scrabbling around looking for similar alternatives.

Some media saying Georges has been training with us for a few days whilst transfer is finalised so I'm not so sure.
Very interesting with Trix saying what he has, yet Pardew and Chairman both saying the bid was made and Zaha wants out.

Even if the player has been training with Spurs ...?

It's just my opinion. He may have been training with us to keep his fitness up if it goes through, but it seems heavily linked to N'jie who we've heard hasn't been too keen to go.

A lot of ducks to get in a row for this one and I read that it's also been complicated by Bielsa coming back to Marseille as manager.

I also find it strange that Poch would want both, seeing as he shipped out both Lennon and Townsend.

Yeah I guess we'll see, I'll take the positive that as he is training with Spurs it's all good!

Based on Trix's info I suspect we won't see anything big in the next week.

Hopefully we'll move on a few (Mason, Chadli, Bentaleb if he hasn't gone already, Carroll maybe) but I'm not sure how that makes a massive difference as to who we sign.

I certainly don't think we'll be making any 20m+ moves at this stage of the window, so I expect to see maybe an N'Kandou sort of signing and that's it.

If we trim the players mentioned our squad looks remarkably light beyond the first 18. All for giving youth a try but we are competing at a higher level now. I therefore think we do need a 20m type signing to make some kind of matchday squad impact. I suspect this might match the Poch wants someone special from Spain ITK spoken about previously.

You should actually call him stupid :D

Zero tolerance.

And i'm probably going to go further than that. About a dozen complete idiots clicked agree for the post in question because they too have a ramrod up their arses. They can get lost too and i'll be seeing to that in a couple of hours when work slacks off so you can expect a raft of complaints for lunch :p

zero tolerance is what it should be. Calling Trix an attention seeker is out of order. Especially from a regularl poster who should know him and the rules better.

I don't disagree. If Carroll, N'Jie, Mason and Chadli were all to leave, with Bentaleb, Pritchard, Fazio and Yedlin already gone, there would certainly be a few gaps.

I just think that from Trix's info we aren't particularly close on anything, and I suspect there might be a bit too much to do before next week to sell all those players and bring in replacements.

Basically it just all sounds a bit familiar, so I'm not expecting much more to happen now apart from N'Kandou.

I'm expecting even more departures :-( News that Son's agreed terms with Wolfsburg and rumours of a few other outs leaves us a bit thin.

I don't like to see anyone get banned but bashing itk is well out of order. Anyway, that's just my view and as you say, I am not the one making the decision. So I will leave it there.

Chill everyone one guy got the hump as he was eager for news/gossip/info.
Take a moment out and think of jest jam.

After that it's all good
