I liked AVB's response to the whole thing, that basically it'd been the media circus to blame for the fans getting all up in arms. No wonder they (the media) hate him. Much as with Mourinho, Whiskyface, or some of the other more "I do what I want" sorts, we'll have to learn when AVB is being genuine with the media and when he's playing them. Personally feel like they deserve to be duped from time to time, given what they're willing to do for money.

Anyone got any ITK?
Anyone got any ITK?
I may or may not have just had some crumpets
Rumours that it was with jam are around...
Yeah a big massive dollop in the middle so it melts around and then you get a big buttery treat in the middle
fuck im so hungry
Glad AVB has said we don't want damiao anymore. Fuck em, hope he ends up shit.
I am just gonna eat my Friday night away
yeah, I don't really blame Damiao in this deal. By all accounts the personal terms were agreed, it was Inter that didn't want to do the deal and are constantly moving the goal posts around.
Special relationship my arse. We should sever all ties with them and look at other targets now.
Lets get this guy:
he's waiting for Levy's call and hopefully isn't the new Postiga (he isn't he's much MUCH better)
I see that there major rivalry is with Gremio, whose colors are black and BLUE!
Moreover, they've got a promising young striker named LEANDRO!!!
#neverred
Yeah it was inter that made us leave it so late in the window before putting in a bid..... there was no bid.
Our special relationship with them consists of Levy calling them up and saying "to keep the naive fools happy can you leak a story about how you've turned a bid down, ciao"
I haven't found anyone who can explain this conspiracy theory to me, in a way which makes sense. Seems to be ill thought out.
1) What purpose does Daniel Levy have to fabricate bids like this? The general idea seems to be that it "keeps idiots quiet", but if that's the case it's clearly not working based on the meltdown on twitter and elsewhere yesterday. Besides this, keep idiots quiet to stop them from doing what? What power would they have if they suddenly knew the whole thing was a lie? None, so what purpose does he have to lie?
2) How does he keep getting the media, and other clubs to go along with it? Seems unlikely that he'd just be able to give clubs calls asking for them to make up bids. Same with the media, especially if they were all bullshit (which seems to be the accusation) then surely people would eventually realise it's all smoke and mirrors. What do these clubs get out of lying?
Suggesting the media makes up these things themselves is slightly different, because the suggestion that Sky manipulated their coverage of the Damiao deal yesterday to keep ratings high certainly rings true.
im sorry but i disagree. moutinho is not what we need. we need a quality striker. why we didnt pounce on ba ill never know. damio was a waste of time.
lol like remy? I can't believe he signed with qpr. if we truly did offer so much for damiao then why didn't we act sooner and use remy as a fall back option?
:ade:
