The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Benteke Bingo Edition 16th July 2013

[SandroClegane]

Can you explain the picture of him in full training from the first day of training?

He probably trained for less time than the rest of the group?

Evening all. Just an update, I posted a few weeks back about having contact with the head doctor at Arsenal who at the time reported that Arsenal weren't close to signing anyone, and I've spent the last couple of days playing golf with the man himself so thought I'd let you know how they're getting on across the road. So to clarify, he says that he's normally the first to know about a potential transfer, at least a couple of weeks in advance, so he can look at their medical files so they know whether there's anything to be concerned about before preceding with the transfer/negotiations. He told me outright that Arsenal still aren't close to signing anyone. Not Higuain, not Suarez, not Rooney, not anyone! He reckons himself that the talk about them spending big is just to get the fans to fork up for the season tickets. So next time you're feeling all doom and gloom about our transfers (or lack of), remember it could be worse, you could be an Arsenal fan!

Wasn't there some ITK yesterday saying we are indeed after Bernard??? Well if we are not looking at him at all, and that would be a massive shame, and Chadli is plan B.... Who's is plan A???? Surly not Lamela.

I think Chaldli is plan A.

 

[hugrr]

I'd have though it was pretty clear what I was/am upset with, hugrr? Just like JJetset, Storts, Ryantegan etc etc etc, LLM get's his info & then passes it on with the best of intentions. However, that does NOT mean it's set in stone. LLM has been working with the MODS to get verified, and the sheer fact that A&C, Rob, Chris etc have allowed him to carry on posting his info so freely in this section, is surely testament enough that his info IS good?

You know yourself that there's many supposed 'ITK' people who aren't even allowed to be mentioned in here (without total ridicule), let alone have their info shared. So I'd love to know why the people seemingly shitting on LLM & his info think he's still able to express himself so freely on here?

I've only been skim reading so must have missed people giving him grief.
*Gives evils to grief givers
I saw people fretting about us not looking at Bernard any more, but that's not saying anything negative about the messenger.

Light training implies him being kept separate from the first team. We also have AVB saying that Kaboul is doing double-sessions with no problems.

 

[Lilbaz]

Can you explain the picture of him in full training from the first day of training? Also AVB quotes that Kaboul is doing double-sessions without problems.

Do we really have to go there? If you don't believe the info fair enough. Theres no need for an inquisition.

No info on Lamela and he plays off the right cutting in on his left... We need someone who can cut in on their right frmo the light... Bernard

 

[looklikemodric]

On an outgoing for the club. Just got a quite definite text that Swindon have agreed terms with Spurs (I assume at the friendly tonight) regarding Les Ferdinand. Up to Les if he takes it as he was rejected by Swindon just a few months ago.

Of course if you read the media it is def Tim Sherwood going there

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Why can't people just get off LLM's case? The guy comes on here to give YOU info and, up until now, he's been really well accepted. Even chris said it was just 1 detail that they were trying to find a way of verifying (I think it was a sensitive issue?). I swear some of you just sit here looking for holes to pick out of the info that people CHOOSE to share.

I'm sure this section would be fucking awesome if this continues. I think it's 2 times in the last week that it's been locked because some of you can't stop yourselves from slagging off those who do share info, so why not do it some more FFS

I've been busy all day and hardly on here and i'm not about to go through however many pages of posts (unless there's any dogging related stuff) but if there's been any slagging, use the report post function and if that is indeed the case, we'll take the appropriate action

 

[Spurs_Bear]

Anyone else concerned or queried why LLM's last two posts have been marked 'disagree' by a moderator...?

 

[spud]

Not that I mean to upset anybody but we are not even looking at bernard anymore.

I'm proper upset now.

Damn it LLM, don't you know that you're only supposed to tell us good news?

 

[etchedchaos]

Sorry, but I've never been good with info that contradicts hard evidence like photos or quotes from our head coach. Can you blame me for trying to get a little elaboration? If there is info being given and we have items in the public domain that contradicts it, should we ignore that and just take the info as gospel?

 

[Hot-Spur]

Or Hottie's dancing elmlo..

I've not had to post him for a while though if we signed Higuain (yeah right) I'm not even sure dancing elmo would be enough to show how excited I would be

 

[dirtyh]

gutted if we're not looking at bernard anymore, got spurs written all over him. if we're making chadli wait there must be a plan A that isn't bernard that fits the wing position otherwise we'd surely have got him in by now given all the itk/noise around him.

where does marquinhos play?

 

[Mr Pink]

Journo just posted this in the Benteke thread:

i think i said that towards end of last season.
i still dont think he will be at villa this coming season.
i have no doubt that his agent has been talking to clubs and got deals lined up. thats obvious.
Tottenham being one.
but there has been NO bid, and no club has been given permission by the club to talk to him.
but this is football.
PL is strong he will not give permission until the price is matched.
he wont weaken his stance.
and the board dont like Levy.

 

[Lilbaz]

Good news on les. Means the boys will be trained in the spurs way. Hopefully get a couple more on special deals.

I know you cant say anything bad about ITK but does calling out a potential WUM count as slagging (if there is no abuse)?

 

[Ghost Hardware]

Yeah I know Lamela primarily plays in the centre or the right, he was my number one choice to fill Bales spot if he was going to leave. Fantastic player. But I am still curious as to who is our plan A.

 

[Kirito]

According to AVB he is on full training and doing double sessions.

So who is more ITK? AVB or LLM?

Or Tim Sherwood?

Thanks for posting Mr Pink. Don't believe a word of it though.
