Good evening viewers. It is my genuine and sincere understanding that Inertia & Impasse are very close. Literally a postcode away. This then from those that know all wot we don’t. Bless ’em. Let’s kick off with …from Ben via FTL: Ade more or less now finally done Should be announced tomorrow latest Tuesday Told for moment no other strikers being talked to Despite them saying he was I’ll or injured Lloris pulled out last night as wants to join us ASAP And additionally which means also from Dragon1 on the same site: Defoe will be allowed to go Once…

Good evening. So what we have here is more fuel to an already unlit fire, some might argue. But Jermain Defoe/and or representatives of said person have been in speaks with Sunderland. Is it done? Who knows? I dread to imagine what figure Levy &Co might have in mind for a very effective penalty box striker but a man that lacks so very much elsewhere in his game. On paper you’d snap up a Jermain Defoe. Of course you would. He scores goals. But upon even the most casual scrutiny he not only fails to fit the Andrè Villas-Boas template,…
Good evening. I tell you were I am. Thinking about that old Sherlock Holmes line. When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. Can you see Tottenham Hotspur Football Club playing £47M for Leandro Damiao? I love the old girl dearly but she wouldn’t rustle that up in a hurry if the roof on a stand fell in. Negotiations for all the other striker options that have been doing the rounds for months on end now have been hanging on in there like a Jimmy Cagney death scene. I’m becoming increasingly…
Good morning. Valencia away it was then. The first thing that struck me was that this didn’t look very friendly. A stadium rammed to the rafters with energetic, relentlessly noisy fans and if they play with such fierce tenacity in a friendly then few will be leaving the Mestella with more than a point when playing them in competition. None of this blog is by way of excuse. It’s more by way of explanation. That and pointing out the naffing obvious. The passing and ball retention we showed for all of the first half and bits of the second was…
Good evening. Daniel Sturridge. I’m told negotiations have been ongoing for about a week and where we’re at is that as of this evening a loan could be done, but we would prefer to buy the Second Hand Fridge frontman. How do I feel about this? Thank you for asking. I think he’s good stuff. the interesting dynamic here is as per André Villas-Boas, the Team GB boy has plenty to prove and where better to do it than in the Lilywhite. Sturridge at virtually any other Premier League outfit would be a first choice, first team regular. But having…
Good morning. In my inimitable wisdom I’ve decided we should flog Modric this afternoon. The suggestion is that Levy & Co are perfectly within their rights to ask for £40M for him as he still has yards and yards of legally binding contract left to run. And there’s the nub of it. Footballer contracts aren’t worth the laughing gas that was being liberally consumed while they were being drafted.They’re a handshake, a mother asking a child, ‘please don’t’, a whim, a fancy …a hope. If Levy & Co are on a crusade to enforce their rights in law then that…
Good afternoon. From the mouths of babes then. From the Phantom Of The Lane we have… Luka isn’t even training with the 1st team. Training in isolation at the lodge. Player meetins [sic] are continuing [sic] today, there will be movement- fully understand everyone’s frustration and I know you can all see the alarming gaps in the squad and are wondering why business hasn’t been done early. A healthy diet and sound home life relies upon movement. Sage words indeed. But remember we are only a few players away from having very strong sqad capable of challenging- in an ideal…
Good morning. Ten days to go, a new manager at the helm and yet we’re scratching for transfer news. The Mirror are taking a punt by naming Bentley, *****, Gio, Bassong and Gallas amongst those who Villas-Boas isn’t interested in keeping on. Bentley’s linked with Fulham. Apparently Bentley’s knee is fixed now and he’s ready to rock. Judging by this image from the preseason, it was the steak and kidknees that he has really been been battling against. The Modric and Adebayor sagas appear no more advanced that they were months ago. ‘The Journalist’ who’s record is close to abysmal…
Good afternoon. Give the complete and utter absence of anything occurring on the transfer front we may as well cut our loses and just get signed up for the old fantasy football spiel. I’ve opted for the Barclays Premier League fantasy game as per usual as it is as slick as you need it to be and it’s extraordinarily free. Sign up only takes two or three minutes. You get one hundred million Great British Sterling pounds to spend. My technique I call the Village Idiot Method. I pick a decent goal keeper, then a couple of top drawer players…
