JJ RE: The possibility of buying Lascelles:
@jetsetyid: worth buying & loaning out, it depends on his value.
...
@jetsetyid: well, lets see what happens ;o)
JJ Hinting that Kaboul might go:
@jetsetyid: maybe not kaboul.....;0)
JJ RE transfers:
@jetsetyid: as I said nothing happening yet regardless of all the other noise probably a good 4 weeks
@jetsetyid: Poch wants to see all players in training before doing anything. Yes that includes DR before anyone comments
JJ RE: Lloris staying:
@jetsetyid: yes as far as we are concerned he is.
JJ RE replacing Danny Rose
@jetsetyid: err what if we don't #justsaying[/itk]
Rep-edit: Oh the whimsy of JJ, how I have not missed thee at all....

A slightly-older cryptic that might have been missed, just to boil your piss early doors.....

Got some info this afternoon and although I hate cryptics, after much debate with myself and taking the lead from A&C ["Archibald & Crooks", Spurs Community mod.] to make things more interesting, here goes.
" Blue and yellow are so yesterdays colours, if after taking their leave doesn't work out then we will be going for Red and Black"
OR
" If we get snookered on our first choice we will be aiming to pot a red followed by a black"

We have cooled on Davies and Lovren, other irons in the fire (and no thats not cryptic for a spammer).
Been told that after the returned players had there post holiday fitness assessments and Poch spoke to the whole squad, he has spoken to each individual about what he is expecting from them and had frank exchanges in an open two way sort of way.
Club still expecting an anouncement on CPO very soon, if they don't get it expect the balloon to go up about the delay.[/itk]

Ade is ok, the decision to not let him go on pre season tour was down to the doctor treating him and was very much precautionary so that we can keep a very close eye on the situation. Ade argued his case to go, but it was felt it would probably be in his best interests to be monitored daily. Also due to the fact that we have WC players returning to London over the next few weeks, he will still be training with first team players even if he doesn't go.
Bony's agent has been touting him around all over the place. Swansea happy to move him on, but have a specific fee in mind and won't drop below it. Not sure why they want rid but his agent was given the green light to get him a move. From what I was told we weren't interested, or more to the point we are not actively looking for any forward players(ATM). Poch still wants Rodriguez and would rather wait for him.
I have heard again Oczipka is a player we have on the radar, and I know his agent was in London a week or so ago discussing the player(not sure if the discussions were with us or not though).Defensively is where we are looking to strengthen, and Poch seems very happy with what we have from an attacking POV.

Tevez has come from a few reliable sources some from ex players who are well connected but that deal would be tough!
Origi I'm told he doesn't want to go back to Lille on loan this may give us a chance as we have spoken to him! He prefers liv but our offer is for him to be part of 1st team not loan back! Schneiderlin poch would like! Obviously this would mean some midfielders moving on as we have many!!
Schneiderlin would like to rejoin with poch to i'm told! On the Dawson and Gylfi situation it's not so much them wanting to leave it's the Clubs that are in for them! Gylfi wud prefer swans to palace and daws wants to keep options open other than hull which is fair enough!

A few things that have reached The Goat.
We could go after Eric Dier our scouts have watched him a lot last year. Also we have watched Matthias Ginter as well. Both good defenders who we have been tracking. Ben Davies deal is not dead either but players agent is touting him to Liverpool more than us.
Lukaku/Bony. The Goat hears that a striker is not a priority atm. But could change if Ade is out longer than expected.

Jan has told us that he is open to signing a new contract. Negotiations started before the WC and look to be concluded before too long.

Just back from another day on the the open seas with me new bezzie mates. So I thought you'd I'd better update you all on what I heard.
Nothing transfer related(regarding us) unfortunately, but did hear a few bits of interest.
Firstly Hugo
As I posted originally he is very happy here, and it was always his intention to sign his new contract, His agent were negotiating the deal while he was at the world cup, at his request because he wanted everything in place so he could concentrate on pre season when he returns. So I don't know what Jasper was on about him wanting to wait, because this couldn't have come from a better source.
Another bit that partially involves Hugo but more so Schneiderlin. Not sure whether this has come from the FFF or from Dechamps but the French squad have been told they need to be playing, for what was explained to me, as A grade clubs if they expect to be selected regularly for France. This means clubs regularly competing in European competitions and from the best leagues. Morgan Schneiderlin does not fit that profile which I was told was the only reason he never made the squad originally, as Dechamps really rates him.
There were two agents there today and neither think we are looking for forward players as they know we have been offered good strikers and haven't been interested, which brings me to......
Benteke
His agent has been told he can whore him around to clubs, if they get a decent fee Villa will sell, but the same applies to pretty much the entire Villa squad. I don't know what our position is because it was all in the hands of the agent, who was not one of the two who was there. This bit came from my friend who has strong Villa connections, and is the reason for me even meeting these other footballing people as some of you already know.Last bit, but best bit imo.....
Yahaya
Checked COYS on the way in and saw the Yahaya thread so thought I'd see what anyone knew about him. One of the agents seemed very surprised we had got him as he said Citeh were very much interested in him as "he is going to be the next big African player". There was also a Villa scout on board who had watched all of the the U17 world cup, where he stood out head and shoulders above everybody(which led to some joking about how old he actually was) and said they had been very interested but knew they had no chance considering the clubs looking at him. He also said IF(this word was emphasised) he settles quickly to life in England he could very well be in and around the match day squad very quickly HE IS THAT GOOD.
He also said it should help that he has family living in London, which was speculated as to why he chose us over some others, it was also reiterated(by an agent) that our behind the scenes people are excellent at helping foreign players settle. They all seemed to agree it was a massive coup for us considering most of Europe's elite were looking to bring him in. Worth noting none of them had heard he had actually signed for us though.There were some other bits and pieces and a few bits of phone conversations that I partially over heard, when they were actually speaking in English. One of the agents speaks five languages and told me he had had to learn three of them in the space of 18 months
Oh and Lovren would still very much like to come to us but we need to match Saints fee first a lot of who will blink first is going on with Southampton atm, as the players still want out.
