Jonathan Calleri

[Tarpon]

No, I don't *know* anything, but there is enough evidence out there if sifted through, to give me 99%+ belief that Calleri is signing for the albion in early January.

I love #HoldTheNerve. Every time I think it's done with up it pops again. Good work.

It's a combination of not really liking anything that's overhyped, I didn't watch Breaking Bad for ages for example, and that small, self destructive impulse that I think everyone has.

Did you enjoy Breaking Bad?

Did you enjoy Breaking Bad?

Not really. God it's slow to start. And I didn't like the fly episode nearly as much as everyone else seemed to.

Fair enough. I loved it, but thought the fly episode was boring.

Surely this isn't going to happen?

Also - why on earth would it just be us interested? Unless, he is actually a tad pony and we have all just got excited because of the link to European giants such as Chelsea, Inter and ... Stoke

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

That's a little bit of me that wants him to flop, even he comes here, after the length of the whole thing and the hype.

Your exactly the ambitious, solution finding, go-getter I need in my company as CEO. Send me your cv.

The evidence suggests he's not pony. Maybe the bigger clubs aren't sure he's what they need at the moment, maybe the interest was agent led rather than from the clubs directly.

Not quite good enough for the top 4 leagues (Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Seria A), teams in the 5th biggest league (the Championship) don't have large enough scouting networks and/or see it as a big risk for the money.

I don't know- strange if it is true we are the only serious bidders, he seems perfect for a team like Tottenham.

An English Investment Fund is continually mentioned as having a stake in this transfer.

It's impossible to guess, without speculating, what their strategy is.

Fair enough. I loved it, but thought the fly episode was boring.

It certainly had high points over its run (the "Say my name" episode is an outstanding scene), but I didn't feel it was quite as consistent as everyone else. I will say that Bryan Cranston was superb at portraying a character who truly evolves over the series.

I think you pretty much nailed it.

I wonder if its going to be a case of a player actually deciding that playing time is more important than mega bucks in the bank account.

Does such a player exist

 

[perseus]

What do we know about him, except that he does not like shooting with his left foot?

Robert Lester Zamora

Robert Lester Zamora

Oh yes the one who left to go to Spurs, then West Ham then QPR before returning for his swansong. Not really what I meant !

I was thinking more of a young player with loads of Wonga being waved under his nose, I don't doubt Bobby could have done better than us but as a last season or so we would have been a very attractive option to him...as we are seeing. It's a lovefest at the moment.

Unless the investment fund is controlled by an individual who likes to keep his actual personal wealth close to his chest......like his cards?

We probably shouldn't speculate about that Fund, without any further info coming to light.

Best not to rule anything out.
