The Transfer Thread ** Benatia è il passato **

TMW: Roma interested in Insigne

 

Going to be a fun summer with some money to spend, the reports have us interested in everyone! Rudi first....

 

NO.

 

According to Il Messaggero, Barcelona have already contacted the agent of AS Roma coach Rudi Garcia.

 

One thing for certain, him and Ljajic won't play in the same team. So if Saba and Rudi decide to keep Ljajic I don't think there is a chance they even consider Insigne. But inquiring about Insigne means they are actually considering selling Ljajic.

 

Yeah, it's not going to fun until we get him to sign on the dotted line. He's going to hear it from all of the big spenders.....

 

double the salary and a contract to 2017 is being personally finalized by Pallotta and co in Boston as we speak.

Yeah, those reports are exciting, but I want completion. I'm greedy like that.

 

He already rejected the approach.

 

Hes very ineffective, but he clearly has potential. Anything under 15 and I would gladly take him

 

We will watch that trident for about 10 games per season.

 

Until this past summer when a couple were right about Lamela, Italian papers have had like a 5% accuracy record with Tottenham. I wouldn't trust them getting the scoop on any of our players or inner workings of the club. The fact they said that they came up with a story centered around Baldini blocking the move just makes it sound more unbelievable. There's no way that happend, Baldini does not have that much power.

 

Sandro isn't average. What he does he does it very well when he's fit. He would beast Italy right now. The only reason he isn't playing is because Sherwood is a tool, he's a fan favorite at the club. I don't think Roma need him though.

 

Doesn't have anything to do with how accurate Italian media about Spurs. Paulino's agents (KGM sports) could very likely be the ones leaking the news to Brazilian and Italian media to increase the interest in their client and pressure Spurs to sell him.

Unless Spurs' new coach convince him to stay I personally think the likelihood of him leaving are pretty high.

 

Have a look at my post in reply to La Magica to see my logic

 

I personally wouldn't care if he's sold, the loan stories don't make sense. Levy loves money too much to break a club record to sign a player only to loan him out a year later because he wasn't happy. History shows unless someone comes in with an offer to buy him he'll stay put. I'm not disputing Paulinho might want to leave, that's an easy story to write, the details I think are bull though. They start with something based in fact and fill in the grey with soap opera nonsense.

That's where the credibility of the paper comes into play because for around a solid 5 years now Italian papers have regularly fabricated stories about Tottenham. Only two came off right from my memory and that was Lamela and AVB signing for Tottenham which they called months before anyone.

Believe me when I say I'm just being honest here, I wouldn't want him for Roma. For one the guy is overrated and shocking defensively, maybe that would improve in Italy, IDK. Also comparing his attitude to Strootman it's like they're two different species.

I don't really think Roma need Sandro but suppose we did and we had to choose between Sandro and Paulinho, I would take Sandro every day of the week and twice on Sunday. He's a warrior and he gives 110%. Paulinho thinks he's better than he is and gives 60%. For what it would cost to get him (because I can't see a loan happening, like ever) I don't think it's worth it.

 

I want Arda Turan.
plz pallotta.

 

Well, that's settled. I'm off Paulinho now.

 

Sounds like Juve wants Alexis Sanchez. Not good for us if they can capture him. Really good for us if we can usurp them.
