JJ also didn't give much away when it came to bringing in AVB either. Pretty much every other ITK had come out and said he was joining and JJ was being very coy.

I get the feeling that JJ hsa permission to post ITK from the club but only at a level which doesn't have any negative affect on the deals we are doing, obviously if we are close to signings and player sales then he might have to keep a lid on it until they are done.
hmm. in passing, i don't really get the 'dumb' score for this. but maybe i'm being dumb too. shoot me someone. now. (bang) that's so much better.

The original JJetset@jetsetyid
I can't update on LD at the moment for a few reasons. I must be out the loop on what's going on this weekend? Haven't heard about any of

No news is good news, maybe?

To me this is the interesting part of JJ´s tweet, for a few reasons indicates that there is more than one reason (that he is out of the loop). Perhaps the negotiations are at such a delicate stage that he feels he can´t update on LD? We can only speculate, but we do need to twist and turn every single word in his tweets so we can find out every single possible meaning! :sneaky:

Is that ITK or detective work - as you know his source...

That's knowledge.

Someone else was saying yesterday that they suspect he's high up within Spurs' structure. How could that possibly be? He certainly wouldn't be able to tweet what he does.

Yeah that was me, I had a hunch for sometime who JJ is and that person if it was JJ would know stuff without being directly involved in the transfer but it seems my hunch is wrong

Sessegnon for Defoe sounds interesting, I was really impressed by him last season, and he would fit into the AVB system pretty well. Hard to get too carried away though - swap deals are even more complicated than normal deals and our normal deals seem complicated enough.

I actually tracked him down. There were 74 Mr J Jetsets in the phone book and after crafty detective work (ringing them up and asking if they were spurs ITK) I narrowed it down to one. Who this is shall remain my little secret all I can say is his first name is Jahovah.

No news from JJ doesn't mean that stuff isn't going on.

I didn't say there is nothing going on
I don't doubt that stuff is going on at all, no news means there's nothing new to say than has already been said over the last few days in my book

Somebody on another forum has just posted this:

Spanish TVE 1 news has just said that Tottenham will accelerate the sale of Modric over the weekend as they have come to an agreement with Bilbao to sign Llorente. Not a wind up.

I have zero idea how reliable TVE 1 news is, but i've got to admit that the post made me squeal a bit...

In the words of Alan the dog from the walls sausage roll advert.

JJ, he's just a bloke really

No conspiracy, he gets info, he posts info.

Would be phenomenal if true. But after all of the Ade speculation last night would this mean no deal for Damiao I wonder. Would really struggle to see all 3 players due to their similarities in the same squad!

Could then sell Defoe and have one sick strikeforce.

Will wait until he's holding the Spurs shirt before I get excited though.

To add, TVE1 is a spanish equivalent of the BBC1.

Thanks! So probably fairly reliable then?

Various places on twitter also reporting that Marseille are in discussions with 'an un-named Premier League club' over Loic Remy. Us? Newcastle?o_O
