Maybe although I'd rather rivals didn't know we weren't interested in cavani if that is true.FantasyIreland said:Lancet Fluke said:Yes well done forza. If we assume that the whole story is true, does anyone else find it a bit worrying that txiki was blabbing all this stuff in a supposedly chance one off chat? Very weird.
Maybe,although he hasn't really said anything damaging or made any startling revelations.

Well done.
ForzaMancini said:Right then, thankfully my mate was telling me the truth which also means I was telling the truth - I was a little suprised to see the picture as well, despite my faith in him! Just to clarify, Txiki didn't blab and go revealing transfer information, it was a young guy who knows Txiki who blabbed and then Txiki was in a position where he couldn't do any more harm in confirming the stuff.
Have spoken to my mate in person today and he elaborated on some details. He told me Txiki looked as if he was downplaying things, so when he said Isco is only 50/50, he said he felt Txiki basically implied we should get him but his experience tells him nothing is a guarantee in football (And when I said Malaga were reluctant to let Isco and Pellegrini join us, I meant it as in after losing one key person they are playing hardball over the other, hence why negotiations will probably take a while whether us or Madrid get him)
On Cavani, the Spanish kid said we had a 10% chance but Txiki said we weren't interested anymore, so we have held talks but they proved worthless.
Txiki only briefly confirmed there was interest in El Shaarway and we have held talks but didn't really say much on him other than that.
My mate did try to squeeze more information out of Txiki but he would only talk about things the kid had already revealed and he also made sure the kid didn't open his mouth again.
Just to end, as you can see I am trying to get the most out of my one-day ITK status and also do understand anyone who didn't believe me and made jokes as to be fair 99% of the time I also dismiss anyone claiming to be an ITK as just some attention-seeking bullshitter.
