Football weekly podcast this week, quote from Rafa Honigstein
" Levy has a reputation in Germany for loving the art of negotiation to the point that he may just be negotiating for the sake of enjoying having a good negotiation. Notorious for coming up with inventive and varied clauses that nobodies seen before. In Germany, his tenacity is regarded with a sense of endearment but I'm not quite sure those feelings are shared in the Premiership"
LOL. Not strictly ITK but thought it seemed to fit in here.
Ziege too far back?We haven't bought that many players from Germany in recent years though have we ? Son, Wimmer…struggling to name to many others (Freund ?)
I wish we would try for Isco again in January, sitting on Real's bench until January might convince him to come.
I took a day off SC yesterday after being glued to it for a week! Levy saved this window in the final hours bringing in a player who is direct and has a pace. Still think we need to be a little mor ambitious in future and we cannot pay lower wages than other prem teams forever! I guess the new stadium and increased revenue will help with this.
Thanks to all for making this a great forum, the itk, the meltdowns, the periods of jubilation and the funny comments. I may try and stick around this year!
This needs a mean bastard ratingSo you must have missed the news that Isco signed just after midnight
WHAT THE FUCK IS THE ANSWER TO THAT CRYPTIC?!
@Archibald&Crooks Please for the love of God can you tell us the cryptic answer.
LET IT GO MANWas that cryptic ever solved?
I can't. I gots to know.LET IT GO MAN
Blue and Yellow.I can't. I gots to know.
Wipey was from Holland, PSV, and Stalteri was a free transfer so no negotiations with his club, no one is going to read this, why did I bother... Banana...Lee young pyo, stalteri
Just because we sold him we wouldn't stop paying? We've signed up to pay Newcastle 6m a year for 5 years. Regardless of what happens with the player now, that is what we've agreed. Sissoko could be sold in Jan for 1m, we'd still pay 6m a year for 5 years.Reports from the Evening Standard in the Sissoko thread saying its £6m a year for the next 5 years based on him staying at the club, but there must be some sell on clause should he leave eariler otherwise its fairly mad of Newcastle.
Correct.If he isn't played in the CL then he won't be cup tied will he?
Cabbages.I can't. I gots to know.LET IT GO MAN
Another cryptic?I'm pretty sure Levy would also be negotiating sales to clubs in Germany and slinging santas in all over the place there as well.
And there goes my last post of this summers transfer forums
Quite shocked to find out that Damiao has only just turned 27. It feels like he should be much much much older than that...In Jan with Leandro!
