....bollox.....

bollox he might be coming our way?

...lets say my constant "Schalke" has been undermined by a recent telephone call

Hmmm. 'arry's freebie?

 

[Bizness]

Who's he off to then mate? Us?

that's not the question....the question is who have made contact to see if he's signed with Schalke?.....and it's not Newcastle asking

Says he's still trying to find out what's going on after that too.

 

[chrissivad]

im confused by this.... it is him saying that we are looking at Raul isn't it?

 

[mattyspurs]

Shouldn't this be 121?

Anyway, as long as he wasn't the only striker we get in this window, I wouldn't be adverse. His experience could be invaluable in the CL, if we make it.

Basically, yes. After saying Schalke constantly, he seems to be saying that we've enquired again as to whether he's signed for Schalke or not. A late bid if you like.

If we ended up with Defoe/Crouch/Raul + quality no.9 then I'd be relatively happy.

 

[mattyspurs]

Yes, basically he has been saying he has been going to Schalke, but since a recent telephone call, he could be coming to us. Hence the bollox bit, because his intial ITK could be wrong.


I thik thats how it reads

 

[Bizness]

...panic over....!

Well, that was a complete waste of time. And posts.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

Madrid Spur is about as unreliable as it gets IMO

Just reads Marca

 

[full-frontal-nudity]

Well that would of answered one of ryantegans questions.

 

[kaz Hirai]

as long has he doesn't arrive expecting to be the star and expecting to start then i wouldn't mind, could be invaluable for champions league or games away to the big 4 were are strikers usually retreat into their shells

 

[ohwhenthespurs]

This seems very familiar from Madrid's past info in recent seasons that we're signing Guti, Van der Vaart, Sneijder, Van Nistelrooy, Robben etc from Madrid. We seem to get awfully close to signing a lot of players from Real based on his info. Yet to see any of them arrive at the Lane, though.
For what it's worth I think he'd be extremely valuable on the training ground and in Champions League games, but if he was the one player we broke the bank and went big for, in terms of the personnel we've already got it would be the wrong player. Bring me a big brick shithouse, goalscoring number nine if we're going to push the boat out for any one player, please.

 

[Bizness]

care to elaborate?

Original guy that told me Schalke last month stands 100% by it and says was planned for presentation in Germany tomorrow....maybe delayed but defo going to Schalke.


....and Dansk...Del Bosque didn't say he was toast his technical staff did. I make them right. Raul was a great player, not by my thinking world class, but now he is possibly "useful" and nothing more.

^^

 

[Bizness]

He's definitely got sources from his job. Unfortunately they're the same type of sources that talk to Marca so generally it is very similar info'.

 

[yozza]

So he's of to Schalke then?

 

[sunnydelight786]

oh dear me.....

 

[DC_Boy]

i so hope raul isn't signed by us

 

[Spirit58]

Well, that was a complete waste of time. And posts.

Not completly Biz, it proveded at least 8 minutes of entertainment or panic in the case of some. :grin:

ITK's should have some sort of rating 1-5* based on previous info etc. May get rid of some of the WUM"S and give people a better idea of what ITK's info is reliable.

Saying that Dragon1 hardly posts much anymore.

If you can work out a way of knowing what is going on behind the scenes so we can grade the ITK then it would be handy. Otherwise there is no chance this can happen.
