Work should be fine, I can't play football holding a smartphone....or could I?

I played football once with a bottle of beer in one hand and a cigarette in the other, needless to say I wasn't very good but I blame that on the wellies I was wearing. You should be fine.

 

[Clamour_Kid]

Any idea why he didn't make them about 25 days ago ?

Because as Ballague said, if I tried to buy your house before a deadline by 2 weeks you would hold out for a bigger offer or ask for more money. The closer it is the better the deal.

It sounds to me that Balague is SSN "sources".

 

[rebrab]

Adie, any idea if we are after one, two or all four of them?

Who is our main target?[/QUOTE

I said at the beginning don't be surprised if we bought 2.....main target I'm not sure

I reckon we've got Pav on a leash, ready to go if we get another striker or stay if not.

 

[topcert]

We wouldn't be bidding if we didn't think we could meet the players wages.....fact

Unreal eh, DL with that bid for aguero = doubles our transfer record IF it had been accepted.

JD says we will bid again tomorrow........... Levy showing his true hand at last ?:shrug:

Coulden't get rid of Keane?

Ahh..makes sense..clear about 60k a week wages for three months, buy about 60m + 30m wages worth of talent. That tallies.

It also means City are less likely to fuck things up... It may come off as amateurish doing it this late but it could well of been something they were planning to do all along.

No shit Sherlock!

 

[adiepf]

2 days ago I told u that DL had gone back to Spain, I told u there was no bid for Carroll & I told u we had put in huge offer....

He won't come back without a striker people

How would you feel if you missed all the fun?

Less time for City to come in with a bigger bid?

 

[arnoldlayne]

Just seen this retweet:

Spurs are so desperate to sign a striker before the window closes. They are now after West Ham's Robbie Keane. #deadlinedayrumours

 

[kdspur]

Levy doesn't do publicity stunts, these bids are big & real

sure mate but will they end up in one of them in spurs shirt???

 

[guy]

Nothing to do with the Olympic Stadium, and spending money would do nothing to affect the bid.

Are you on the Voting Committee for the OS?

Sorry but you have no way of knowing how these people think, maybe they will be swayed by this? Who knows, except the people in question?

 

[nailsy]

Wasn't there a message from Defoe earlier - "what a great way to end the week"? Or am I making that up?

 

[Spurger King]

Mods...genuine question...if I put an apparent 'itk' on ignore, would I get banned for itk abuse?

 

[SlunkSoma]

How would you feel if you missed all the fun?

In all likelihood, will it really be done any earlier than 11pm?

 

[mpickard2087]

Mpickard, as a fellow Bristol dweller, I feel inclined to emphasise the importance of expecting the most miserably disappointing day of transfer developments you can possibly imagine. Let's hope it will turn out well....but it probably won't.

Haha I was joking! I have been in 'its going to be Carlton Cole' mode for the last week, so Im ready. Anybody but him is positive in my eyes :grin:

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Because as Ballague said, if I tried to buy your house before a deadline by 2 weeks you would hold out for a bigger offer or ask for more money. The closer it is the better the deal.

So bidding €45m was us playing it shrewd, keeping our cards close to our chest. nice.

What makes you so sure?
