"I don't especially want to reveal names but I'm fairly decent mates with a footballer in a Premier League squad. That player had some friends around his pad last night, and I was one of them. There were 7 other well known footballers there, one of whom plays for Spurs. We all talked and a lot of interesting things were said, but obviously I was interested in what the Spurs player knew.

So, here are some tidbits.

-Lloris, Kane and Vertonghen will be our captains next season.
-Nabil Bentaleb is unreal in training and is now better paid than Kane, Vertonghen, and a few other big names.
-DeAndre Yedlin is actually quite good in training, but it took him 3 months or so to get used to the pace as apparently Sounders training was tinkle poor by comparison.
-Stambouli wasn't actually part of a clique causing trouble. He hung out with them because he's French and Hugo is a bit insular.
-Jesus Perez and Poch are a hilarious double act, and D'Agostino is a bit of a tough bounder with the players.
-No-one at the club likes Kaboul, but they all respectED him hence electing him captain last season.
-Everyone knows the club want Schneiderlin. This is why Dembele wants reassurances.
-Soldado is an absolute beast in training and never misses. The club are desperate for him to succeed - and no one can figure out what's wrong.
-Jan Vertonghen is the most popular player in the squad - the Alderweireld deal was in part to improve the club and in part to keep Vertonghen happy (he's not been happy with his CB partners)

And one of the players there is a Soton player, who said that Schneiderlin doesn't want to move to United: because he wants to play 38 games in a season, not be one of 6 or 7 top class midfielders. He misses Pochettino and his training methods, and he wants to move to London. The Soton player told me that Schneiderlin will be a Spurs player."

........................................

Could just all be a bunch of toss, but if true ... interesting.[/itk]

I'm going to go with the "bunch of toss" option.

I don't know - kinda unlikely that this is true. But seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you, if you would make all this up, only to post it on an internet forum?
I'm intrigued and confused :avbshock:

I can think of a couple of dozen members of this fine forum that would do that.

Well since he calls himself "AberYid" you're my suspect no. 1

I may not be the sharpest knife in the chef's bag, but I'd come up with something slightly more eloquent than that.

Carnoustie not known for premiership house parties either.

Can provide any info you want about Dundee or Dundee Utd though. No? No takers? No? Anyone still there?

 

[Furball man]

That's old skool itk right there .

No tweets etc , all we needed was a photo & it'd be perfect

 

[Deuce]

True or not, I love that kind of ITK. Just a ton of info to the point that it makes it very believable, even though most in common sense.

 

[TDub]

I'm going to go with the "bunch of toss" option.

But I wanna believe

This reads like an article from the Sunday Sport. It's up there with the classic "Cheeseburger kills Alien" headline. Captivating but total bollocks.

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

United will buy a million midfielders. What about a Carrick return to the Lane? He's still very good.

Why would you post that? You got me believing now aulinhobored:

 

[Jayc1]

Where's Tomo these days anyway? I know he can't repeatedly suggest we buy Depay anymore :bentaleblol:, but I'm sure he has something else to offer. Joe Clash seems to have vanished too.

 

[Éperons]

The likes of Bournemouth and Stoke would clearly put Real Madrid in the shadow.

WAIT.

Stoke now?

Or Stoke with Shaqiri?

 

[Éperons]

I know mate... Wish it was one of the times levy just ignored the manager & bought whoever he wanted á la others players he's lumbered managers with


**** ducks for cover *****

Fuck. I put this in my quotes thing since I had a joke, but I'm too pissed to remember it. Have an Ade instead. :adelol:

 

[DeeGee]

too much Woolwich in this pages

Yes, I agree. But by saying they managed to spend when planning and building a new stadium was bollocks. Especially when we outspent them on many occasions and the two times we did make it into top 4 we made profit in the TM.

 

[DeeGee]

Andros Townsend has removed all tottenham related info from his twitter account. Make of that what you will.

Were you being sarcastic, as he hasn't. Not from what I can see. Unless he has restored it all.
Here's 3 I randomly screen shotted

 

[Éperons]

-Everyone knows the club want Schneiderlin. This is why Dembele wants reassurances.

Edit: Apparently, that Southampton player that he spoke with was Steven Davis.

My initial response was bullshit as well. Too much stuff that seemed too good to be true and too much which can be surmised from common knowledge stuff.

I'll repeat myself and say again that I know (some) people on here don't believe in the transfer betting markets. But I check every once in a while (I work from home and clearly have too much time). Since some time this afternoon (when I saw it up) SkyBet has taken the MS next club market down. So has at least a few others bookies. Best as I can tell, only BetVictor has the market live, with us at 2/1 where we've been between 6/1 and 16/1 the last few days.

Something might be about to break :chadliblow:

 

[Kafkaesque]

Checked oddschecker.com

Skybet suspended the market at 8pm
BetFred suspended at 8.46pm
Betfair SLASHED us to 2/1 from 6/1 at 9.28pm and suspended at 10.08pm
BetVictor slashed us to 2/1 from 5/1 at 9.01pm and is still live

Something is up. Let it happen :avbpray:
