The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 14th August 2012

[Archibald&Crooks]

​

Morning all! Here's your thread for ITK Discussion.

​

Seeing as I have the horn this morning i've decided to sing you all a song, It Must be Love by Madness​

​

I never thought I'd miss ITK
Half as much as I do
And I never thought I'd feel this way
The way I feel
About you

As soon as I wake up
Every night, every day
I know that it's rumours I need
To take the blue and yellows away

It must be ITK, ITK, ITK
It must be ITK, ITK, ITK
Nothing more, nothing less
ITK is the best

How can it be that ITK's can
Say so much without words?
Bless BEN and bless me
Bless POTL
And the site nerds

I've got to be near some info
Every night, every day
I couldn't be happy
Any other way

So now who's done, done, done
So now who's done, done, done
Not no more, someone else
ITK is the best

As soon as I log on
any time of the day
I know that it's rumours I need
Who are we signing today?

A typo son, son, son
No it ain't done, done, done
Yes it is, no it's not
ITK is the best

Good one A&C

 

[taidgh]

after the frustration of yesterday, is it too much to hope for good news today?

 

[spursirish]

we will get a striker today - I feel it in my water

 

[Woland]

THIS IS MADNESS!

Anyone got a spare F5 key?
Here's hoping we get something done today. Would be happy with M'Villa and Ade.

No........This is SC!!!!!!!!
*Kicks Woland down a hole

 

[spursirish]

my two cents worth - we need a striker - not any striker - but ade would be the best option, llorente is a pipe dream will never happen, LD would be good also for backup for ade.

Ok...they put something in your water.

Morning A&C, another cracker!

Looks like it got ugly/desperate again last night. That means today might be ok, as we ride the rollercoaster of the transfer window.

 

[HildoSpur]

It's going to go down to the wire at this stage, I'm expecting maybe one signing in next week and then perhaps one or two more on deadline day. No point in stressing about it, we can't do anything about it so relax and trust the club.

 

[teok]

Not spurs, but the RVP to utd ball seems to be rolling hard on twitter.

As Akqa has announced Lloris is off the menu, yes. Probably.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

This is groundbreaking...

 

[Insomnia]

Can someone please hit me. My desire/ need for a shiny new striker had me contemplating the merits of Andy Carroll this morning, Andy fucking Carroll!

 

[Twizzle]

hope its not as depressing as yesterday, some guys must be on suicide watch after yesterday

Where is Leandro Damiao?

I say if he got back on a plane to Porta Alegro then its game over

 

[LeSoupeKitchen]

So JJ has said its going to be quiet until the Newcastle game but things will be sorted before the end of the transfer window. I don't really understand how transfers work. I have read many comments about it being a long process with many things to work out, which I get, but in that case how can we be confident things will be in place by August 31st? I'm struggling to think of a scenario where transfers are certain but will take 2 weeks to sort out.

I don't think I've ever seen a club so exposed in one department as we are in strikers at the moment. In the past you can play brinkmanship with teams trying to get the best price for your player (i.e. like Berbatov to Man U). This feels different though - Man U needed a striker but they would not have been totally screwed without one. We are so horrendously exposed that teams like Man City might be interested in just screwing us over. Abroad teams can ask the world knowing that if the window shuts, we'll be back in January desperate to sign the player again.

I think Leandro as well as Sandro is on international duty against Sweden on Wednesday, at least according to Swedish newspapers
