not giving Ade no 9 suggest that there is another on the way, most likely bigger than Ade, we will see though if they pull it off

Not really, Ade has worn 25 since he played for the scum. Footballers are a superstitious bunch.
 
well because ade didn't take number 9, it's quite clear to all concerned that Llorente will be announced as a spurs player imminently.
 
Not sure I missed someone else posting this amidst all the "transfer talk", but Welbeck has signed a new 4-year deal.

Look at the games we lost it was hardly because we ran out of steam. I mean the second to last game of the season we battered Villa right to the end with 10 men, so it can't be for lack legs, as it this level of sport, you can't do that without supreme fitness! We didn't look out of steam when losing to Everton, whilst utterly dominating them. Late goals against Swansea, Bolton, Blackburn and Stoke don't exactly suggest we lacked legs. Our fitness was fine, in fact it was good. We scored too many late goals and our stats in terms of shots, passes and tackles etc were simply way too high for there to have been fitness issue's. The only area where we had a fitness issue, was with Leds and this did show up a few times, most notably the Norwich game. But generally speaking fitness isn't an area where there is really room for improvement.

If we need to improve our fitness levels then so do Arsenals, which I find hard to believe. They crawled over the line and only got third as West Brom literally gave them 2 goals, otherwise they wouldn't have won in their last 5 fixtures. The season before that they only won 1 of their last 7! If you look at our results I can see why one could see a correlation and thus think there are fitness issues, but if you look at the actual performances, there is simply no way we could be so dominant in games at this level and be unfit. If you look t out last 10 games, which is over 1/4 of the season, we took 19 points, which is actually third place form! So it wasn't a fitness issue. We had a bad third quarter of the season, but a simple look at the fixture list suggests this was always going to be the case. For all the reason put forward by our fans for what happened, the most obvious is by far the most plausible. We lost points when we had our toughest run of fixtures! It's as simple as that. The fixture list distorts things at times and it made us look better than we were. We then had a run of 7 games in which we played Emirates Marketing Project away, Liverpool away, Arsenal away, Man Utd and Everton away!

That is a good post mate.

You should try using short sentences and adding 'returns' so that people will read it.

So the deal was done ages ago, just as the ITK's said. It just took time to persuade Danny Rose to give up his number.

Rose has been listed as 3 on the official site for a while.

When I was at the club (over a month ago) Bale had chosen 11.

I was referring to this, Ganter

"Tomorrow [Wednesday] Llorente will speak to his destination,” Arino Bajo told Telegraph Sport. “It is very, very possible he will decide to go to the Premier League. I don’t know the [choice of] club at the moment but there are two [interested] clubs. One is in London, and one is in Manchester.”

Llorente: I am happy to play for Athletic Bilbao


The Spain striker revealed that he is still enjoying his time in the Basque country, despite not renewing his contract with the San Mames outfit and being linked with a move away

20 Aug 2012 17:16:00

By Finlay Donaldson

However, in what appears to be somewhat of a u-turn, the 27-year-old has told itasportpress.it that he is pleased to still be playing for Los Leones.

"I do not know who talks about me," the Spain international said. "Right now I am just thinking about my team.

"I am happy to play at Athletic Bilbao because I feel an important player and I will continue here. My contract renewal? Let's see."

The Basque club have stressed that they will only let go of Llorente if a potential buyer coughs up his full €36 million (£28.3m) buy-out clause, despite the fact that his contract expires at the end of next season.

Juventus, however, are confident that they can persuade the Spanish side to lower their asking price.

Llorente, along with Bayern Munich target Javi Martinez, was left out of Athletic's 5-3 defeat at home to Betis on Sunday.
