@jetsetyid
@Brazilyid You from Brazil? If yes DM me as I have a question re a player for us....

Ooooo share the love Brazilyid

Sounds as if he's pissed up and flailing around to me.

 

[ohwhenthespurs]

@jetsetyid
@Nick90Rollinson @neileatson @spurssauce Ade is quality and needs to be retained IMHO but AVB prefers Llorente & others.#bothstubborn

Llorente?! Hasn't sounded as if there's even a slight chance this season. But if there was I'd wank off my grandfather to have him as replacement for Adebayor quite frankly. No contest.

 

[noahrobert]

I love JJ to bits and don't think for a minute he's on the wind-up, but remember his Swedish tweets about landing a new Brazilian superstar in the summer?

All that twitters is not gold (can't believe I just made that up ), so I'm going to keep an open mind about what JJ is alluding to.

SK, Was that Swedish stuff about Oscar? Iirc?

 

[YiddoBirdy]

Maybe Levy has seen something in AVB that gives him confidence to spend the money, it is not beyond the realms of possibility.

Oh it is..

 

[Spurger King]

Finally my week in exile (ban) is up; I've been itching to post so infuriating just lurking (don't know how people do it for years!)

Must say akqa yid is providing me with top notch entertainment honestly - He's had me laughing out loud at times. The best point was today -

On topic of actual ITK; very happy with Holtby surprised it came off thought it was going to be one of 'them'.
Wouldn't mind seeing Ade go IF we bring in LD or someone of similar ilk.

 

[ChristianBaler]

Well we all know where Llorente is going so all we need to know now who the others are that JJ is referring to.

Not being in the best of moods, having been woken up by the dog barking because a cat farted three miles away, I give up trying to get back to sleep, make myself a coffee and decide to have a gander, only to find this............

That Tottenham Itk account has just tweeted "we are in talks with Internacional over Damaio and Porto over Moutinho."

So I just have to ask. In the thread called 'IMPORTANT! The Rules (Make sure you read these)', the part that says

TWITTER ETC......PLEASE TAKE A SENSIBLE APPROACH
None of us are silly. Well, some of us are, but you know what I mean.........We know who the Twitter WUM's are, so please, no matter what they might be uttering, please keep it out of the Daily Discussion Thread. It has no place there and as we're allowing Tweets to be posted in there, filling the thread with that shit isn't very helpful, the opposite in fact. We don't want to exclude people but if anyone persists in posting it, they might well leave us with no choice. The ball is in your court on this one.

Please could you let me know which part was written in an obscure dialect of mandarin? Just so I can clear it up and avoid any future misunderstandings.

Ta.

What can I say I llive life on the edge

Maybe Levy has seen something in AVB that gives him confidence to spend the money, it is not beyond the realms of possibility.

So, basically Levy is seeing what the rest of us are seeing... A guy who is in his first year here and has been dealt a hard hand in terms of players injured and maybe not the best "fits" to the scheme he prefers and yet we are sitting in third. I think that's about as much of a ringing endorsement you can make for yourself as humanly possible.

 

[Spurger King]

No he mentioned a Brazilian superstar striker. I think Oscar had already gone to Chavski by that point and the general consensus was that he was referring to Leandro.

Yeah something like that

Snarf I've been seeing you've been posting all week about Holtby and seem largely the most clued up here. I did a bit of whoring on Schalke's main fan forum which is in German so slightly hard to decipher. Anyway, the majority seem to feel Holtby has regressed a lot this season and I don't know whether its just bravado cos he's chose to leave but many feel Draxler can quite adequately if not better fill in the gap Holtby leaves?

 

[Brazilyid]

I'm not in the business of winding people up so to let you all know I have no info. And if JJ did share something in confidence I wouldn't blab as that would be pretty out of order to him. But as I said I haven't got any info as don't live in Brazil anymore. Sorry guys.

Then do the decent thing and move back there. Sometimes one just has to stand up to be counted*

Ok thanks and Good night.

 

[TheGreenLily]

I want to hit "agree" on this, but as much as I want Damiao, I don't want to let go of Adebayor. If someone put a gun to my head, I'd choose Damiao

*click*

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Apologies.

Fair dooooooos, I could have conveyed the message in a nicer way, i'm a miserable **** when that fucking dog wakes me up, so apologies for the sarcasm

Yeah, my friend who's a Spurs fan and watches 50-60 live football matches a season, including 5-10 Schalke games, agrees with this. His view is that Holtby is vastly overrated and no better than Sigurdsoon, that Draxler is the real talent and that we've signed someone purely for his resale value. I haven't seen the kid play, so I'm not accepting his opinion as read, but equally I'm not preapred to be swept along with the "we've signed someone, he must be the new Eusebio" crowd either.
