Just because a 14 year old on Twitter says 'Juve Out Means Spurs In' hashtag Spurs blah blah... Doesn't mean brick
 
No chance. The kind of news that we want to believe, so do, rather than there being any real truth in the Twitter message.
 
Its Conte being investigated for his time at Siena, nothing to do with Juventus.

And even if it was Juventus, it would be another Italian team to get the place.

Why would we get the place?

it's definitely flimflam

but just to entertain it for a moment - under the unlucky circumstances in which we missed out it might be seen as a logical step to take and help smooth over what is a rather unfair rule (winners of CL taking someone else's CL place who finish higher than them in the league)

I hope he gets in better players. We need to ensure we are performing now. We go down the route of building for the future, then we lose momentum in the now. And by doing that we drop like a stone and the future never comes.

Agree but you cant blame Levy for wanting to sign 25 yr old and younger players. Look at the success with players like Berbs, Carrick, Modric, Bale, Lennon, Kaboul, Walker, etc etc etc. Admitedly there's the odd player like Bentley in the opposite camp. If the rumours are to believed and we're in for people like Vertonghen, Remy, Lloris, Hoillet, Leandro...they're all in the same mould.....still in the first half of their careers, partially proven themselves but still a bit more to prove....
 
Who: The Goat
When: 28th May
Where: SC

The Goat has been told by our usual source that Hazard went we believe close to nearly two fiddy a week! We spoke with City and United people today and thats what they believe it will be, based on their offers. Both very upset with it!! ha.
Ultimately he isnt worth that. So back to reality now....We dont think that Chelsea will go for Luka now.(still think he may go unfortunately)
Still no finalised deal with JV yet.
Harry is home in Sandbanks and not the UAE!!
Still talking to others in Holland.....

Fine... assume all Italian clubs are now banned for 3 years.

Why give one of the 3 places to a country that already the maximum allocation of 4 clubs in the competition? Uefa don't want that and the rules don't allow for it.

Perhaps we as fans feel we've been unfairly treated. But as Uefa have made it clear there is no wrong to put right in their eyes. 4th should not guarantee CL and it hasn't done for the past 6 seasons since these rules were brought in to ensure winner qualifies.

because ours is a special situation which only arises once in a blue moon - we have lost out on CL in unlucky/fair circumstances - should this hypothetical situation where Italian teams get banned from European competition there will be no side more deserving of a place than us

So you think any player 25 and less Redknapp doesn't want and Levy is going over his head and buying anyway. And any older player is Redknapp's choice (unless he is any good, in which case he isn't Redknapp's choice and will probably be Levy's also)? I really don't see why we just don't fire Redknapp and make Levy the manager.....

If it does happen, it's more likely UEFA and Platini will just push up the highest ranking teams in each round to the next one. 1st quali to 2nd quali, play off to group stage etc etc

:ross:


So that is what Levy has been doing, hiring managers that he needs to learn from, and firing them when he has all the knowledge he can get from them.

De Jong and Bas Dost are the best forwards in Holland at the moment, especially the former.

Could be managers/DoFs though I guess - de Boer maybe?
