We've had a world record amount of ITK since the last update and covering it all would be a task of epic proportions. So, being the lazy sod that I am, I won't.

I'm actually so lazy that one day, my wife said to me, "I'm fed up with you being so lazy, pack your bags and leave".......I said, "You pack them"

However, here's a round up of yesterdays events, starting off with JTG (luvly) whose information took the form of the lyrics to the Bond movie 'From Russia With Love'..........

Much wiser since
my goodbye to you .......my running around is through ...........

Do svidaniya..........
The smart money is on us signing Matt Monro although one or two people think it's goodbye Pav.

Then, POTL posted more cryptics :roll:

Its hotting up.

Super hot..

In the Capital.
Could mean absolutely anything and yes, there were a squillion guesses, all different, so we're actually going to discard that as info.

Then we had the traditional link to Mark Van Bommel.......

Desperate to come,best mates with vdv,harry knows he wants to come
Possibly back up if our interest in Diarra doesn't bear fruit?

The wife got naked last night and asked me, "What turns you on more, my pretty face or my sexy body?"
I looked her up and down and replied, "Your fucking sense of humour"

Archie then posted an update over on SO......

not massively no but Carroll is over unless Newc come back and lower demands..
Diarra could be a goer..

The other two are poss loan options..

Pav and Keane to go if we can get one striker in but to say we have options on Fabiano and Forlan to buy is far from correct
Pav to go? I refuse to believe it unless it's wrapped in 007 lyrics.

Then, adie posted right here on SC..........

bindippers once again talking rubbish..

to clear it up fella

we agreed with ajax that €28m was the price....hence liverpool have gotten knowhere....

we know the price so do they, we are trying to sweeten the deal & clear some space......

im told we are very close to agreeing the transfer.....
Which gave me the horn.

Finally, Archie posted this.....

worth a bid? nothin happened yet but poss interest due to Benny and Bale injuries and long term cover...
Liverpool favourites apparently
Which made my horn go down again.

Then, late last night, the football intelligensia popped in with 'Crouch is shit'.....one must have been wearing a baseball cap back to front because he finished his appraisal with 'end of'. It nearly drove TSH mad.

Last night I got home from work, sat down in my favourite chair, turned on the TV, and said to the wife, "Quick! Bring me a beer before it starts!" She looked a little puzzled, but brought me a beer.

When I finished it, I said, "Quick! Bring me another beer! It's gonna start!" This time she looked a little angry, but still brought me a beer. When it was gone, I said, "Quickly! Another beer! It's gonna start any second!"

"That's it!" She blows her top. "You bastard! You waltz in here, flop your fat arse down, don't even say hello to me and then expect me to run around like your slave! Don't you realise that I cook and clean and wash and iron all day long?"

I just sighed. "Oh shit. It's started"

Surely the home of all things ITK is worthy of a donation or two?

Every small donation toward the upkeep of SC is appreciated. Click on the link and part with the price of a Big Mac meal, every bit does make a difference!

It's all looking really fucking exciting! Let's hope it's not a (slight) disappointment in the end like some windows have been in the past!

Right now the dream end to the window is Suarez and Diarra (though I'm still unconvinced on Suarez worth to our cause, but hey ho...)

I don't think we have a striker the defends and closes down from the front (maybe Defoe at times) and from the little I've seen of Suarez that seems to be part of his game. I do think he will do well for us but feel he would do better in a 4-4-2 formation

I think that Suarez is somewhat overated because of the league he is in but sounds from what I have read that the guy has a lot of desire and will to win so he is worth a try

He's 16 goals in 30 games in Europe (CL) - so i would imagine his potential in a stronger league must be close to hat tally, or slightly above.

He also has a strong international record, given he's still only 23.

absolutely agree Matt, theres very few certs that will succeed out there that we could sign, its about taking an educated gamble and Suarez is definitely worth a gamble imo

the media must have weak sources if we're so close to the suarez deal and it hasn't been reported by anyone yet

Today is my last day before I start my new job and will probably encounter a barrage of Spurs related sites that I'm not allowed to look at in the office so it would be jolly super of Spurs if they could complete all of their transfer business today.

It's going to be another deadline day bonanza, IMO. Panic buy central.

I have a horrible feeling we are being used in the Suarez deal and 'Pool will land him.

I ask again, has there ever been any info from either ITK's, Suarez, his agent or Ajax to suggest that he actually even wants to come to us?
