The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 31st August 2020

[Rob]

Latte is identical to milk (in its original meaning). We call that type of coffee "Latte" as a lazy version of Caffe Latte. If you order Latte in Italy, the shop may give you milk only.

Can confirm. One of my colleagues got a hot milk when asking for a latte in Vienna.

Fuck me guys. If you want the thread locked this badly can’t you just not use it? Bunch of wannabe baristas in here...

 

[smithym]

Terrible timing posting that after robs comment tbf

Yes, but it's spelt different to the player's name. It's not any more direct. Both can fit and are plausible. Simple as that - if his name was
Arkadiusz Milk you might have point - but it isn't.

Don't want to create too many replies locking the ITK thread. Let's be friendly and end this. Maybe this is a cultural difference. As a non-British I don't have many feelings on Costa Coffee's Latte. And we all use Milk as a nickname of Milik in my home country.

Vienna is in Austria.

My brother did the same in Milan airport. Haven't lived it down since.

Fuck? Really? Shit, that's screwed up at least 5 pieces of ITK. No wonder no one got "cabbages", we were in the wrong country!

What if Jose and Levy have been using the same "obvious" coded language to ensure this goes under the radar and the press don't hear of it?

Jose, having coached in Italy, asked for a "Latte" striker, thinking he's requested Milik. The ITK have heard this and figured he wants Costa, whilst Levy, being a Cambridge graduate and clearly much smarter than the rest of you, has been searching for a left footed striker.

Yes, and the german word "Latte" is also used to describe an erect penis. I don't know where we go from here. Maybe it's a tall striker.

Erect pe*is = A D*ck = Diego Costa

It also means 'pole' in German so pretty sure we are signing Lewandowski as backup to Kane.

 

[parklane yid]

If they don’t want everyone to guess for pages on end then just tell us who was there rather than a stupid cryptic that encourages shit guesses

I think ‘pole’ might mean something else

[Archibald&Crooks]

I think, given that it's been made pretty clear who 'latte' might mean, further guesses should now be considered as spamming the thread. Some of you are just doing it for the sake of doing it now.

JJ tweet
Dave Re: Laquinta , hoping it’s Domenico Berardi Italian striker at Sassuolo

 

[mil1lion]

5 pounds for anyone who can link Raul Jimenez to latte.

I'm surprised nobody has found a link to Bale yet

 

[Dirtysanchez6]

Hate to break it to you lads but jetset hasn’t tweeted Dave don’t have a clue we’re that has came from

 

[mark87]

Can play all across the front 3, so ticks a lot of boxes for creativity and goal scoring.

JJ signed of at the end of his tweet ‘Dave’ , which was from many moons ago when we were linked to an Italian forward called Vincenzo Laquinta. Everyone kept spelling or pronouncing his name wrong, so we just ended up referring to him as ‘Dave’

JJ didn't post Dave. The confusion came when a poster on here made a post saying JJ had tweeted, but the poster himself signed it off with his name, that being Dave, so that's where the confusion has come from.

No he didn’t. A bloke on SC called Dave said ‘JJ has tweeted’ and signed off as Dave. It’s been done to death in this thread that JJ has said nothing about Dave, that the striker he means is under the radar and different to the Goats info (which JJ himself told the mods he’d not heard) and that the goats cryptic was Milik as that was blatantly obvious word play.

Anything else said on any of these situations not in line with the obvious that’s been spelt out will clearly be deliberate to get the thread locked.
