Good morning. Outside shot. That’s the only way to look at it. Reuters are reporting this morning that the Italian gendarmes are not only investigating a suspected match fixing ring, but they have just hoisted Juve trainer Antonio Conte for questioning as well as actually arresting Lazio’s capitain, Stefano Mauri among about 19 others. A police statement said five people had also been arrested in Hungary on suspicion of being part of an illegal international betting consortium said to be headed up by Singaporean gambling identity Tan Seet Eng. ‘In this part of the investigation, indications have emerged of manipulation in…

Good afternoon. I trust those of you basking in the UK heatwave are taking all necessary precautions this weekend; drinking only where there is table service, sporting knotted hankies when moving out of shaded areas. News in from yonder tulip shaped window. A €12.6m bid is in from us according to Ajaxshowtime.com and just a hint of speculation that this offer is sufficiently close enough to the €15m that Ajax really wanted. Perhaps then as the author of the Dutch piece suggests, Levy & Co. convinced them to take a little water with their wine. Let’s really hope so.
Hello. It’s difficult. It’s very tough. I said to the man who’d been sleeping rough… word in from various places in the Italian press that a sizable bid of some €19m for Leandro Dimebar has been rebuffed. The suggestion which makes perfect sense is that Internacional are looking for some decent performances in off season friendlies will only stand to increase the players market worth which they believe to be closer to €25m. So fair do’s for Levy & Co. getting in early, but this tactic is bound to be employed by the bulk of selling clubs this summer and it…
Well hello Dolly. The Daily Star is jackanape central, eh? Jermaine J**** being lined up to replace Joseph Barton at Queens Park Rangers. And to get suspicious readers into the zone, they’ve even run the piece accompanied by a snap of the Tottingham dynamo sporting a moustache. In next week’s Daily Star, Des O’Connor to replace Slur Alex. Jan Vertonghen’s getting as restless over his transfer as most Spurs fans. “I’ve said repeatedly that Tottenham are my first choice, but the talks haven’t progressed,” said centre-back Vertonghen, 25. “They have shown me around, I have met all their key people…
Hallo. I trust UK viewers are enjoying the heat. In some parts of Scotland men are turning from grey to white as they prepare to burn. Speaking of getting burnt, Jan Vertonghen has an interview in Nieuwsblad today. It emerges that Levy & Co. were over on Monday, but the deal is far from done. “The chairman of Tottenham was Monday in Amsterdam. But they are still out.” It weighs on you? “Not really. I did not expect that I would feel so little stress. Otherwise I stay another year at Ajax and I can then leave a free transfer. ” Tottenham will miss the Champions League. Plays a role? “With me, but perhaps at Tottenham. It might affect their budget.The chances are that there does not seem the first week and a half clarification. But…
Hola. Apologies for going missing aujourd’hui, I am on the proverbial lamb. This blog however I do believe this well worth sharing and have nipped into an emporium that offers greater riches* than a Las Vegas hotel in order to get this to you. *If your perception of ‘riches’ is a jacket potato machine that obviously hasn’t been cleaned since it left the factory. This then is a decent gem from the heavily guarded, FTL forum … all [sic] courtesy of ‘Cabinessence’… Levy and Pleat are close in relation to potential signings. Him and God knows how many others. Danny…
Hallo. Based upon a lengthy conversation I had with a fellow Yidologist, Mr Martin Crawford PLC …forget garlic bread. Here’s the future. Or at the very least a hopefully rather compelling argument for a good one. One of the bugbears of the last campaign for lots and lots of people was the whole Gareth Bale free role fiasco. And so here’s a pretty interesting solution. The start point is that you can’t legislate for lunatics. You know Bale has consistently done well on the left, I know Bale has consistently done well on the left.But Our absentee manager and the young man…
Hallo. What news from yonder window breaks? Well not too much. Sufficient for the day thereof as they say… I’ve always loved the idea of a middle class ITK. Not for any pretentious value I swear; rather for someone to rock the ITK mic who spoke didn’t spew out riddles and other self indulgent algorithms. The current relationship between Levy & Co. and the Spazmeister General that is our current manager has then today been described as, ‘perfunctory’. … This female source tells me, “Oh by all means, let them know I’m a bird, Harry!” that the exchanges between the…
Good morning. That nursery rhyme was all about struggling and getting by in life to little purpose. When that was written to ‘pop’ was to pawn, ‘weasel and stoat’ referred to a coat. The sentiment seems all too apt this morning. So now we supporters enter into a period of relative awfulness as the transfer window rattles and creaks as the knackered putty of threat and rumour falls out all over the shop. We pawned any tangible achievement this season for the vanity and reptilian ambition of our manager. And that’s not up for debate. The laughable ‘argument’ from this…
