My dog has left in search of a better tomorrow. He said he can no longer live with such rumors and is off in search for greener pastures...:sick:
Ledesma...wtf. I read the article and the keyword that I saw in the entire article was not the worthless player we are rumored to be after. No, the keyword in that entire article on C4 was "cheaper". "The fucking cheaper alternative". If you think about it, thats 65% of our team...cheaper alternatives. (Yes I know its only a rumor, so spare me any sarcastic remarks, still its hard to read that)
Somehow amidst this growing confusion surrounding our upcoming mercato, I am seemingly finding myself in a conundrum. Do I believe our board when they say they have money to spend on a couple great signings? Or do I begin to ponder what a "top class" signing means to them? Somehow I feel that their idea of a great player is different than ours.
Now, I am faced with two possible conclusions in my mind.
1.) Our board is unfortunately unable to sign the likes of Diego/Silva either to financial reasons behind it or the inability to seal a deal.
2.) And this is the one I will keep telling myself because I will sleep better at night: The board has already sealed the deal for some great signings and have not discussed them and have instructed the other clubs not to disclose this information as well. Why you ask? Maybe they got smart and decided to keep their transfer plans a secret to help prevent or slow other major clubs from getting interested in the player or hijack the deal.
I am going crazy.

Juventus 'line up Ledesma'
Juventus may turn to Lazio playmaker Cristian Ledesma in their bid to bolster the midfield this summer.
The Bianconeri need to take action after a season that looks almost certain to yield no silverware.
And a number of players, including Werder Bremen ace Diego, have been touted as possible summer signings.
But one cheap option may lie closer to home in unsettled Lazio star Ledesma.
The Argentine talent is under contract with the Aquile until 2011, but he has asked to leave and even threatened to use FIFA's Article 17 to free himself from his contract.
This clause would allow the 26-year-old to end his contract unilaterally in exchange for a small compensation payment.
Lazio President Claudio Lotito will be determined to avoid that happening and would maybe rather sell Ledesma outright for the right fee.
A bid of just under £10m would reportedly be enough to persuade Lotito to relinquish his grip on Ledesma.
