Toby signs for Spurs - official.

Yes, that's obviously exactly what I'm saying.

 

I'm beginning to think Toby has been kidnapped by aliens. Why else is he not doing what footballers do and having a public strop on twatter?

 

I am starting to think Toby is texting Ron saying:
" ****ing hell look at all the crazy **** on social media."

Edit: forgot lol at the end.

 

No, but you've harped on so much about it, somehow trying to infer we have behaved unethically IF.... Blah blah blah.

 

Ahem....we have a dedicated thread for Ron-Toby texts.
Please don't clog up this thread

 

Last week my lad wanted a KFC. I took him for a drive through and the man serving got our food while taking other orders and when he gave me the final part, he said," enjoy your meal."
I replied, "would you like me to pay now" He said, "****, thanks mate.

I'm a saints fan, so I think that about equals out Saints level of unethical behaviour, so we are all in the clear


(No lectures on ****e food please, he doesn't have one often.)

 

I've only responded to other people who don't seem to get what I'm saying.

If this sort of thing happens again I'll try and slip a Kylie reference in to make it less boring for you.

 

Now that would make it so much better

I get what you are saying, but it's so minuscule it's hardly worth raising. In fact, it is not Saints responsibility to contact someone and say that they are close to a deadline. I don't think it is unethical or shady at all.

 

Then that may very well have been a foolish choice. Because there is no guarantee that we can enforce the agreement to get Alderweireld when 1.5m owed us for Atletico taking him back + maybe a small monetary fine for damages is a perfectly equitable solution. We took a gamble, and that gamble may not pay off for us. Moreover, how would we know for sure that Atletico was seemingly unaware of a clause that apparently everyone else in the whole world knew about and wouldn't just pay the fee at the last minute? You can't rely on that.

And it's very likely that we didn't rely on that. But instead we looked at a bunch of scenarios and the strategies we'd employ plus fallback options and mapped out some sort of risk and reward. This could be all part of a larger plan that works out well for us, perhaps even resulting in us getting Alderweireld. Or if not, perhaps we felt it was a gamble worth taking. Or even if it was a mistake, it's something that we can overcome. That's why we have the black box constantly churning out options for us for all sorts of contingencies.

 

Heh, Kylie has agreed to go to bed with you. However, she's only willing to accept if you pay for a luxury hotel room. Your friend suggests that you'll look like a right mug if you spend that sort of money on a bed, when there are perfectly acceptable rooms at well-regarded hotels down the block. You're worried that she'll look elsewhere if not for the in-room butler option. What do you do.

 

I wake up in a cold sweat thinking, "****, I never actually believed this would happen. I'm not worthy. Do I ask her for an autograph first or wait and get a selfie on the bed afterwards draped in the sheets.

 

Tell you what, AM have done a right Liverpool here. Remember a couple of seasons back wanting Liverpool to win the league? I was delighted when Atletico did in Spain, and desperately hoped they'd do the double in the CL too.

Now I hope both clubs crumble into irrelevance (and take that greasy mopped, flick-kicking tosser Simeone with them).


Blimey, that's three pantomime villains already this season, and the window's only just creaked open!

 

Is it possible to filter out comments from individual posters? Well poster, to be exact. For the want of a quiet life this member will remain anonymous, but I can no longer handle the matter-of-fact tone (if there is such a thing on a forum) and desperate attempts at having the final say in every thread

 

Sorry. Click my name and then select ignore. Don't take me too seriously.

 

Please can someone give me a brief summary of what's happening here? They don't allow phones in rehab so ive been out of the loop for 6 weeks!

 

Lots of rumouirs and counter rumours but very light on facts. We want him to stay, Toby apparently wants to stay. Spurs and Athletico have a different view.

 

Spurs appear to have had a bid accepted for Toby. But Saints appear to be challenging the legitimacy of that due to the contract we had with atletico. No one knows the details beyond that, so we're all making assumptions in order to support our spurious opinions. Meanwhile, lots of rumours and absolutely no genuine info is flying about.

 

Sorry. Havent been on here in a while but its clear the lot of you have all gone stark raving mad.

Can anyone who is still normal (Fran!) sum up everything thats happened;

 

Toby wants to be here but those swindlers at AM won't allow it, we'll definitely know for sure what's going to happen by yesterday, and FLT feeds his kids KFC every day.

 

Ah just seen lovelocums request. Ignore mine.
