All quiet on the itk front it seems. Ah well at least it gives us something to focus on post world cup.

The info that i shared was nothing groundbreaking and to be honest i'd like to think if i was going to come up with a wind up it would be something a bit more juicy.
Your info was (and is) greatly appreciated, though obviously taken with the requisite pinch of salt.

Please don't stop a small minority questioning your info stop you from sharing.

Actually it is true, Daws and King was always Redknapp's first choice but Daws got injured allowing Kaboul to get the pairing with King when King was fit. That doesn't quite tell the whole story because both Kaboul and Gallas were brought in to boost the CB options particularly because of King's ongoing injury problems and iirc Woody was still around early in Redknapp's tenure but also struggling with injury

Actually looking back our CB injury problems must have made it difficult to ever have a regular preferred CB pairing, just a pity we couldn't have had a constant in Ledley, for me around the time he had partnered with Naybet and had made that step from lets say a promising young cb to a top player he was as good as any CB I've seen over the years

Your right of course, I completely forgot about Gallas who wAs also ahead of Dawson in Redknapp's pecking order for the most part.

If qualifies as ITK these days, then perhaps everyone's random opinion should count too?

He claims Tony Parks said it about Townsend/Sherwood, if it was not true then Tony could easily sue for libel, it would be a big surprise if he does not/has not read SC, the quoted source wasnt a hairdresser or the milkman it was a respected former member of our coaching team
