The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 18th August 2014

JJ also said "things will be a lot clearer this week".

 

[Nine while nine]

If you want to dsicuss the identity of Crystal Palace's next manager, get thee hence to the General Football forum please.
Ta.

Would we be wise to follow this advice?

Sure would...

That was about Remy though

I don't think the goat's bleat was about Remy

 

[Snuzzy]

as a side note, the official title of 'Self Preservation Society' is "Get A Bloomin' Move On'. Appropriate...

I've given my best in the Musacchio-thread to link #143 to him. The Italian Job->Musacchio's family were Italians before Argentinian.

Cryptics are never complicated like that. I guarantee it's not about MM because his parents were Italian.
Far more likely that Baldini's met with Sabattini or someone and they've hatched some kind of swap plot, Soldado for player A and/or player B.

I think they have to be, I don't honestly think we can start identifying new targets now.

Glad that JJ didn't rule out depay. I like Andros but when Lennon is still hanging around the first team picture then we need a serious upgrade. In the west ham game although I felt we could battle hard and score, I'd like us to be stretching and taking teams apart a bit more, deffo need more goals in this side.

Late on the scene but one would imagine that the Goat's bleat is referring to Destro.

Also, can anyone confirm Sabatini was indeed at the game on Saturday as suggested?

 

[sloth]

Could of course have something to do with Harry/Michael Kane/Caine

 

[Gbspurs]

It a clearly the "daws off" IMO.

We know there has been interest in him, we know we want to buy a defender, we know we are reluctant to buy before we sell and we know that the team interested in Daws have come into some money.

JJ has already rubbished the Destro link, numerous times.

 

[Mr Pink]

The theme song from Italian Job was 'self preservation society' which makes me think the Goat is saying that players we want to shift are putting their own self interest (money) ahead of what is best for the club

But why do we need a cryptic piece of ITK for that?

We already know that as we've been told it.

 

[sloth]

Llorente might be for sale, apparently Valencia have put in an £8m bid for him. The Italian job was done in Turin.

Fair enough, haven't seen that.

So do we know what the bleat is referring to or are we still in the guessing stage?

At the right price could be a very useful member for us.

 

[Pat Rice Spurs fan]

It's a song from the film, The Itallian Job.
Benny Hill was in The Itallian Job.
There's a street in Southampton called Benny Hill Close.
We're trying to buy a small bald bloke and some saucy fillies from the Southampton area?????????

 

[Gedson100]

I'm not happy with the obvious answer to the cryptic that has been repeated about 15-20 times now so is it something far more tenuous?

 

[DeviousBBear]

I'd like Lennon and Dawson out and MM and MD in.

I'd be content to see how it plays out after that.

Would not like any of last summer's signings to go, even Soldado and Paulinho. Think Townsend, Kane, Mason all have potential that Lennon has evidently shown he lacks after the umpteen years he's been here. Time to get rid.

Also no need for MS when it's silly money and we have Capoue, Sandro, Bentaleb et al.

 

[Barry Mead]

Here's your nightmare scenario, in the Italian Job they grabbed gold and got it on board. Maybe we are getting David Gold on the board, timings right just after the Wham game, Levy was there, there was speculation about a new member joining the board.

Now that would be enough to drive us over the edge

 

[Riandor]

Some of you lot need to read more...

"Blow the bloody doors off"
"Daws off"

Dawson is leaving... end of cryptic.

If you're referring to the Daws off answer, then that strikes me as far from likely. I'll do a £10 bet with you, the proceeds to go to SC's coffers, that it's not a reference to Dawson.
