The English media don't like him either, so would be right at home with us.

Tolm and Danamy don't get it right all the time, Tolm has admitted that himself.

that was the one time he was very insistent mate.

*sighs*

I think Tolmie has contacts(well better ones than Danamy) but he won't get everything right(for instance Sanchez and Hazard)

Exactly, same with Danamy and Redknapp for the England job.

Ibra WAS a terrific player, for sure. But a 31-ish year old player signed arround 25M/30M isn't a good deal.
If it was for a free loan or a 10M/15M deal, it would be another story.

He never said Hazard had joined. Said they offered contract. Chelsea came in after winning CL and turned hi head with big money

I agree and anything can change at an instant ala Sanchez, Hazard and Redknapp.

I was given the Redknapp info with regards the activity behind the scenes of both Levy and Redknapp both acting as if he wouldn't be about next season and that hasn't changed, the info was premature (obviously) that it was because he was getting the England job, but we'll see during the summer.

This is one reason why i don't gamble with the info i'm given and i'd advise others not to either, i'm happy to give some snippets of info when i receive it, as is Tolmie but to take it as concrete and it's definitely happening is naive to say the least.

I accept i post to be shot down if things don't happen and that comes with the territory, but until i get miffed about it i'll continue, how others take that info is out of my hands i'm afraid.

He still IS a terrific player, last season he looked better than ever. But I agree on the age issue, it isn't in line with our transfer policy which is buying young players. Milan would want top dollar for him to reinvest and there's no way I can see the club paying big money for a player into his 30s.

I think most of us can live with this Dan. Much better to get some informed snippets from the likes of yourself and Tolmie than reading the shite we call for newspapers these days!
