Posted on Tuesday, 7th August 2012 by Harry Hotspur
Good afternoon.
Give the complete and utter absence of anything occurring on the transfer front we may as well cut our loses and just get signed up for the old fantasy football spiel.
I’ve opted for the Barclays Premier League fantasy game as per usual as it is as slick as you need it to be and it’s extraordinarily free. Sign up only takes two or three minutes. You get one hundred million Great British Sterling pounds to spend.
My technique I call the Village Idiot Method. I pick a decent goal keeper, then a couple of top drawer players for each line (defensive, midfield & attack) then fill up the rest with total dross to facilitate as much lolly as possible being pumped into the best players.
The recurring problem with these Fantasy Games is if you don’t do insanely well in the first two or three weeks you tend to jack it in. So this season I’ll be including in the blogs an element referring to this league and we’ll sort out some spot prizes along the way.
The League is called ‘Pure Filth’, you click the link below to sign up for free using the League invite code: 679491-172176

I’m in for the first four weeks. Then I’ll have a busy week at the office and forget to set up my team two weeks running. In desperation at the seven injured players now in my squad I’ll throw caution to the wind and use up my extra transfer, plus pay a few penatly points to make extra trades. Then I will lose interest entirely.
It will be interesting to see how my squad as of week 7 does for the remaining 31 rounds. Last season they actually challenged quite well up until christmas, then went completely off the boil. I didn’t even have the prospect of a dream job to distracting me, so no excuses…

Just read this on tinternet…
From Duncan Castles:
#THFC are increasingly confident of agreeing a deal to bring Brazil centre forward Leandro Damiao to White Hart Lane before the start of the Premier League season. Internacional have been looking for a fee of between €20 and €25million for the aerially adept striker, who has established himself as a regular for his national team in the past year.
While Daniel Levy has been reluctant to commit such a significant sum to any one transfer before completing Luka Modric’s sale to Real Madrid, a severe shortage of attacking personnel has forced Tottenham’s chairman to sanction advanced negotiations for the Brazilian. Andre Villas-Boas, who has been frustrated by preparing his first season at the club with just one experienced striker, is pushing for a rapid resolution.
The new coach’s agent, Carlos Goncalves, is understood to have flown to Brazil to work on the transfer of a player Tottenham first attempted to purchase last year only to baulk at the demands of Inter and Damiao’s agents. Villas-Boas has also accepted that his first choice for the position, Robert Lewandowski, is unattainable with Borussia Dortmund asking €30m for the free scoring Poland international.

Someone from THFC will make loads of noise and levy will try to get Damiao for Jenas and a bag of chips.
This has been going on 3 seasons.
‘if we treat them like the are stupid they will believe they are stupid’.
Boardroom mantra.
August 7th, 2012 at 8:10 pm
Damiao has just scored his second of the evening for Brazil vs South Korea in the Olympic semi-finals. Can’t help but think that will add a million or two the purchase price.

I believe Damiao is the Brazil number 10 but if an ITK says he’s a number 9 I’m certain he knows what he’s talking about…
Do you think there is any chance we could interest them in a slightly soiled goalkeeping fellow countryman as part of the deal?

Would like to kmow the truth behind the Leandro Damiao story.
We’ve been linked continuously by the media to the player, although the clubs have denied any firm offers.
Now Damiao has finally touched UK soil and has scored in every game.
No doubt this will render him beyond our feeble purse strings.

MysteriousStranger Reply:
August 8th, 2012 at 1:16 am
Not sure it would make much odds. They aren’t club team mates, (Uvini being at Sao Paulo) though granted they could perhaps talk at the Olympics. Uvini was at Spurs on a loan with a to buy option for like, what, three months?
Damiao is apparently really good friends with Sandro however. And they were club team mates before.
Pretty sure he’d pay more attention to the views of someone who has real experience over here and who he has known for a lot longer.

Still, if you can make it so your open ended bullshit fits the events by including enough permutations…
Blue – Benzema – Yellow – Adebayor
Blue – Adebayor – Yellow – Rossi
Blue – Benzema – Yellow – Leandro
Blue – Cavani/Remy etc.
