The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 16 August 2010

[Archibald&Crooks]

There was a complete absence of any ITK on Saturday, but I can reveal, exclusive to SC, that this was because it was the annual Spurs ITK convention in Las Vegas this weekend.

Our man on the spot informs me that as the ITK's arrived, the first one through customs was asked the purpose of his visit, at which point two 'Men in Black' appeared out of nowhere, flashed their ID's and told the customs offical that "no one questions the ITK's" and fast tracked them through to the airport exit.

One ITK got into his cab and was asked which hotel he was staying at, to which he replied 'Friends, Romans, Simon Jordan......lend me your Selhurst Parks' and to our reporters astonishment, the cabbie took him straight to the correct hotel.

A third ITK threw a tantrum when he discovered his room didn't have a large tree directly outside his window and a fourth ITK was turned away from the convention entrance, the only snippet our reporter overheard was "You've lost your accreditation, Darren Bent plays for Sunderland now, their convention is scheduled for next week at the Wheeltappers & Shunters Social Club".

Topics discussed at the convention are top secret, but I can exclusively reveal that as of January 1st 2011, the use of technology has been given the green light and a committee was set up to investigate the use of infra red binoculars, listening and bugging devices and the possibility of renting spy satelittes from the CIA. Also, copies of JTG's new book 'Cryptics - The art of being right when you're wrong' sold like hotcakes.

The highlight of the meeting seemed to be when a messenger boy arrived with a telegram for one of the ITK's. The poor sod delivered his message and the recipient put his hand in his pocket as the messenger smiled thinking he was going to get a tip only to see the ITK pull out a revolver and empty it into his chest. This was greeted with howls of laughter from the assembled glitterati. Seems its some sort of an 'in' joke with them..........With that, the convention ended and will reconvene in early December. The junior ranking ITK's flew home early to scatter some crumbs for the starving masses and on Sunday things picked up, starting with this, from POTL........

Regarding Remy & Gio

Confirm we sent scouts to watch the player on Saturday night. 4th time he has been watched.
Don't be convinced Gio isn't leaving either. There is interest from Spain and Italy for him. Redknapp recognises he has had a good pre season, but he had a good pre season last year too. Watch this space.
POTL

This is true. Gio had a good pre-season last year, so i'm waiting to see how this one develops.

Then Dragon1 in a post called Champion League, said.......

I know i've been away for a while and will hopefully get a decent update in the next couple of days. for now though - sponsor for cup competitions was sealed on saturday morning. will be announced on tuesday morning and worn in switzerland, so there will be no sponsor-less shirt on sale im afraid! i was not told who it is, 'sensitive' information apparently. other than that, harry is off to manage england as soon as the fa come knocking, regardless of when that may be. levy panicked after the world cup as most at the club thought we would be searching for a new manager.

be back with more asap.

Hurry up! Oh and when I looked, you could get 7/2 on Harry being next England manager. If you have a punt, the only fly in the ointment is Hodgson.

Biz then whored news about Scott Parker......

We have permission to speak to him.

I can't believe this one is still running, but then there's a lot about transfer windows that I can't believe :razz:

Our final piece of ITK came from someone I can't remember actually being an ITK......

Spoke to my scout friend earlier and he told me we were after a player from Plymouth, I saw the other week someone posted that we were watching a player but people were not sure who
Well the player is..........
Réda Johnson

Funny that, i've got a friend who is a scout too. Got all his badges, woodcraft, sowing, the lot. Didn't realise that lot were so well connected......I'll ask if he's got any Spurs info.

Not a lot in the papers today, The Mirror carry on their Craig Bellamy Hokey-Cokey......
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp remains hopeful of persuading unsettled Wales captain Bellamy to come to White Hart Lane.
Coming tomorrow, The Mirror telling us we aren't signing him.

And not Spurs related, but this would be fun if it happened.......
Argentina legend Diego Maradona is lining up a move to become Aston Villa's next manager after Martin O'Neill's departure.
Imagine Villa scoring a late winner and Fatboy sliding along the pitch on his belly. There'd be riots.

That's your lot. Keep whoring!

Great round up as usual.....i can see the headline now...Harry misses out on another one of his top targets....I still cant see Man city letting him sign for us

 

[Jody]

Shooting the messenger Classic.

 

[yozza]

Great round up A&C.

I think things will start happening if we get a solid result tomorrow ray:, however I really can't see the Bellamy one happening.

 

[codspur]

One of the best yet A&C

 

[kcmei]

Surely Harry would want to manage england for the world cup and not the euros, so at least we have 2 years left

 

[Twizzle]

surely if we are 2 or 3 away goals up after the game, things should start to happen

 

[Alfieconnman]

Inspired round up A&C - take a bow.

 

[worcestersauce]

The Sun is reporting £12m bid in for Remy so now we know they read SC!!

I wonder about this DL sanctioning deals if we reach the CL, I can't see players and clubs sitting on their hands hoping we get through without at least investigating other options, do they think we are a sure thing to get through? if so why is Daniel Levy is waiting to see if we can beat Young Boys surely he has more faith in his team than that?
I suspect this isn't true however if I'm wrong, and that has been known, then I'll be a little pissed off with this stance.

 

[spurslenny]

I wasn't able to make the ITK convention myself, but my window cleaner's wife's sister went.

Said it was 'triffic.


Make of that what you will

 

[kdspur]

any itk know who the big player harry was on about that almost joined this summer!!?? its not joe cole is it? wud have been amazing signing he said, interesting. dont think it was cole as he was pretty public about that,

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Let's see if all the itks who said we were making a substantial, irresistible remy bid yesterday or today were right....

He probably remembers the Fa Cup semi final, a dodgy pitch is a big equaliser.

 

[rebrab]

The thing I like about Remy is that is he is always described as a "Nice striker". I like to think that our players are good people too :razz:

That's very very poor from you, now give us some ITK to make up for that.

 

[felmonger]

A nice start to the week A&C. You seem to be able to retain your sense of humour when all about you are losing theirs. BTW, did your boy scout sew on his own badges or did his expertise stop with seed planting and female pigs!! ;-)

 

[rebrab]

That's very very poor from you, now give us some ITK to make up for that.

:lol: I only wish I had some!

Hopefully a nice big stoof stamp for Remy in the next few days will make up for it :up:, from other ITK it seems quite likely
