The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - IT'S A ROLLOVER! 23rd July 2014

[THFCSPURS19]

Well he has earned a bit of lee-way after Paulinho. IIRC, while we were all rejoicing at the purchase of Paulinho, he was the most vocal opponent of signing him and said that paying what we did was one of the worst transfers ever.

So.....good call Blake......sorry I disagreed with you at the time.

No he hasn't.

All said, £3m to sort out left back and a back up keeper is excellent business

This.

Some good ITK today has to be said. Good to hear our LB and GK issues have essentially been sorted, while going in for Schneiderlin and Griezmann/Konoplyanka. If all this comes off, we will be much improved from last season.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

it does happen....I had ITK (which i posted) on Cudicini (leaving for MLS) after suddenly finding his girlfriend in my class at university as mature students, lovely girl, puts other wags to shame...full of talent and integrity. I also remember a high end cabbie who sidelined working under me in a vocation part time told me he took a new player of Tottenham from the ground to a hotel...all he said was he was a black guy and brazilian and couldnt remember his name....must be 2 weeks until Gilberto was revealed...chance meetings happen and it comes and goes.

Random ITK is my favourite kind of ITK ever in the whole wide world. The Lennonsjetboots stuff (on COYS) still makes me moist and we had some of our own a couple of years ago (fucked if I can recall who though, something to do with a medical) that a few people on here refused to entertain (in a manner which cost them dearly) and it turned out to be spot on.

Wish there were a couple of names appearing in the ITK regarding CB. I like sound of all that's been posted today but is a little concerning.
Before summer felt LB and CB were equally as huge areas to address. With Chiriches still seemingly injury prone I feel rather uncomfortable with our options with first games fast approaching.

Huntelaar blabbing about Holtby on a plane (and again people being adamant it wasn't true) was good too.

Could you enlighten me re: the Lennonsjetboots stuff pretty please?

Wasn't that one of two random ITK from a father/son pair. Maybe the other had been the Zokora picture?

Medical one was Sigurdsson IIRC.

Agree, random ITK is much fun

 

[ShaunL84]

My favorite ITK was the guy who claimed Bale's move to Real Madrid was just a hoax to boost the publicity of Bale and our club.. can't remember his name. His hope killed me.

Also, I remember when Roger Morgan called Chelsea bidding £22 million for Modric before it had broke.

 

[Klinsmann33]

Not to be pedantic, but its 3m plus siggy.

He is worth 8 million+

But I see your point. Good deal for us

 

[L-man]

Plus, finally, I have heard, but can't confirm to be true, that Gareth Bale endorsed us personally to Davies and that also worked in our favour.

This is up there with the Kranjcar (how can you leave these fans) and Modric (I can't) ITK for me

A classic random meeting with a transfer target with photos! Best ITK ever even if zokora wasn't quite as wonderful as we all hoped.

 

[Drexl]

All this Sandro's love and passion for club falls a bit flat if you consider he may actually really want to go to Napoli.

His girlfriend/partner/wife wants to move to Italy according to recent ITK so it seems like even the most macho guys like Sandro are under the thumb

And there was me thinking Sandro had a pair...

No one has a pair when there is a threat of a sex ban unless you comply, women hold all the power. Poor Sandro really.

 

[ParkySpur]

I told myself I wouldn't get hooked into this place again (the wife doesn't seem to approve). But sod it, things are getting interesting!

Siggy +3m for Davies and Vorm - only Daniel Levy!

I know JJ says the Griezmann stuff is paper talk, just hope it's not.

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

This mahoosive delay in regards to announcing Davies and the subsequent soap plot and theories that come out in abundance due to said delay have served me well; because of all the chatter i'm now excited about the announcement of Davies when previously I wasn't overly fussed by him as a player...

 

[fatpiranha]

Davies and Sigurdsson is essentially a straight swap, though both clubs have add-on clauses so the better they do for their new teams, the better the selling club does.

Knowing Levy it'll be something like £1M a goal .

 

[mark87]

Griezmann would cost £25m+ due to his buy out clause and don't get me wrong he is a very promising player, but if the itk is accurate then I can't help but think this money would be best spent elsewhere i.e. centre back.

Dawson, despite my love for the man, is deteriorating and shouldn't be apart of the starting 11, Kaboul unfortunately is not the same player he was since his injury, which just leaves Vlad and Jan, which definitely is not enough in my onion.

For LWF I would like to see what Chadli can do under decent coaching, the guy is a good player and I think Poch can get him to play well as long as he is committed.
