It’s almost as if all the ITK we’ve had has been correct all along.

Will back the manager. Will do business late. January is difficult. Expecting three in.

People generally need to calm down.

I trust my friends, even when they are mad Lyon fans, but when they told me yesterday that they'd chatted with Vincent Duluc (big journo for L'Equipe and known OL fan) about their club bringing back either Tolisso or N'Dombele following Bruno's departure...I thought surely they're having me on!

Well, I do know they often speak with him and other OL-covering journos, but I genuinely thought OL would pick Tolisso over Dombz any day of the week, even with PSG unable to sign Dombz because they've not sold anyone.

But now it does seem big man Duluc and my pals weren't as mental as I thought. The deal is very close to being done. And we aren't getting Shaqiri back as some of the cheeky buggers had suggested 😂

Fair play to Levy & Fabio on this one. Read the context at Lyon brilliantly and took advantage of it.

And if we're lucky, Dombz will play great at OL and we'll be able to sell him for minimum 30 mil in the summer.
 
It's probably true he's been offered to us...

"He's yours for £30m..."

:levywhoa:

"...but he wants £300k a week"

:levystare:
We’re at an all you can eat buffet, so far weve only decided on a couple of dishes and still considering what else to have from the mountain of food on offer👍👍

Also we need to think about not eating too much otherwise we’ll be full and could miss out on some delightful dishes being offered up in a few months time…

All that glitters is not gold….
 

Thanks for posting, but that’s not filling me with joy.

Bentancur has never blown me away. Ever. Few times I’ve seen him I’ve wondered exactly what he is, 6,8 or hybrid and never figured it out.
I find it really hard to get my head round the notion that Conte wanted Kulusevski at Inter - but then he did want Eriksen (and then struggled to figure out what to do with him) so…
 
It's impossible to say isn't it? Personally I totally ignore the one-off rumours, but pay more attention to the persistant ones from multiple sources over a sustained period of time. Take Traore for example - given all the talk for a month or so last summer, then pretty much all of this month, I'd find it very hard to believe we weren't interested. I can't prove that of course, but I guess I'm working on the basis not that there's no smoke without fire, but more "a lot of smoke over a sustained period would indicate that a fire is likely". Doesn't exactly trip off the tongue though I admit.

So my feelings on Traore are perhaps similar to yours on Diaz (who dippers have just announced btw :( ) - I can't help but feel if we'd managed to persuade Traore to sign in early Jan, then after 3 weeks of Conte explaining to him how he was gonna make him one of the greatest in the world, he'd have been happy that he didn't wait for Barca. It's all pure speculation of course, we'll never know, but that doesn't stop me wondering...

Just maybe Traore was always a stalking horse, like a lot of us maybe Conte would have taken him if that's all that was available, as Conte said himself hinted back in early January was that the best on offer?

Kulusevski could possibly be Conte’s new Eden Hazard - thesportsupdater.com

I have no doubt we wanted Diaz but the Bindippers with CL football got him, however I wouldn't be at all surprised if Kulu wasn't higher on Conte's wish list than Traore and maybe even Diaz.

Kulu could be the attacking box-to-box player that Conte loves, unproven but with potential ....

So let me get this straight… I asked a question on here, which got a reply from someone. Now that’s considered ITK? 😂🤣😂

Fuck me, next they will be promising to pay Rob and that AC cunt because the club signed someone. An act they had no part in. Lemmings indeed!
