Good morning,
Being a Tottenham fan these days is like having some mad disease. You’re viewing everything at time lapse photography speed, everything that surrounds you is rattling by accelerated. But you’re in a slo mo zombied coma.
You know when things bad. The world’s worst ITK, Jasper has remerged from another sojourn in Broadmoor. I don’t mind people getting things wrong, we all get things wrong, but Jasper’s pronouncements are either the diametric opposite of what will happen or stuff that appeared in this morning’s paper.
Jasper Watch is now on amber.
So hopefully the news that we have begun negotiating for Nilmar will keep you going until well, at least teatime. The word comes from @Football_Agent9 who is also saying that Diarra is done, certainly either a loan, perhaps permanent. Which explains our Real Madrid discussions.
Oh Christ, what have I done? Cue an avalanche of ‘ITKs’ revealing that Nilmar discussions, ‘looking good,’ ‘player wants to come,’ and ‘VillaReal arguing over add-ons’ and a conveyor belt of assorted attention seeking.
There’s a part of me that is having that moment they have in the war films… Where the young officer stares out into the night and then says to the earnest Sarge next to him “I don’t like it Sergeant… It’s too quiet.”
Usually, around about now there are quite a few ‘talks’ in progress but no-one is able to pin anything solid to anywhere. This either means that Levy is about to pull off a Klinsmann MkII or we’re going to end up with Fraizer Campbell, 30 seconds before the window shuts. Oh, horrible memories of Raziak just flashed before my eyes.
It’s a real pit of the stomach thing isn’t it.
I care slightly more about the clearout than I do the new striker in at the mo.
I said “slightly”.
We do need to ‘bite the bullet’ and perhaps follow Newcastle’s lead and simply place the likes of J***** and co on the transfer list as free’s…..It would be financially sound in the long term.
Agree with both. Definitely putting up the ‘for sale’ signs is a good move I think. Just say f**k it and take a hit to clear the wage bill – J***s, PSB & Gently must clear about £150-£180k p/w!!?? See you all later you’re just making the place look untidy.
Who remembers when we had loan signing Andy Booth!!! Desperate days.
I thought it was just me that saw more “ITK” after stories appear on newsnow…
ie: skysports – defoe could leave
then, twenty mins later:
arthurgreyshots – defoe is making noises to media outlets about the possibility of leaving
TWERPS. coys!
I’d love to believe this, however I have lost faith in this supposed ITK …..
To be honest I’m not sure what all the fuss is about. Spurs taking part in transfers… and it’s not the 31st of August. Unheard of!
You forget that when we clear the dead wood we buy them back again not long afterwards… What we need is a bonfire.
