The Daily ITK Discussion thread January 13th 2012

[Archibald&Crooks]

Again, just a few things to catch up on. Mystery got the ball rolling when he said that........

Who: Mystery
When: 12/01/12
Where: SC

As Harry has already stated, we are interested in Remy... But, we are VERY interested in Remy, his versatility is something DL and HR feel we crave within the team.

We will go all in to get him, but don't expect it to be an overnight thing, this will drag out until the end.

That should keep us all up until the last minute......

Then, Yidio got Welshiespursboyo all excited when he posted 'all the Ba's'

Who: yidio
When: 12/01/12
Where: SC

Sorry if you see this as repeated information, but after a chat I had last night I thought I'd at least verify it.

(Demba)Ba is definitely a target. Levy was and still is fuming about Harry letting everyone know about the buy-out clause - this was definitely not the common knowledge Harry initiated it was. I'm sure his agent would eventually have flaunted it if Ba definitely wanted out, but to announce it to the world at this stage was a bad move by HR.

(Sam)Ba is also high up on the list of priorities.

(Ade)Ba(yor) as it stands won't be signing any sort of permanent deal until the summer.

Don't be surprised if it's another sell before we buy window. All the usual suspects are available for transfer, with Giovani and Pavlyuchenko probably the first to go.

From the info I have (and bare in mind this is from just one single conversation!), I'll stick my neck out now and say I predict Samba, Hoilett and Remy/Ba/Leandro to be Spurs players by the end of the window, and we'll see the back of Giovani, Pavlyuchenko and Bassong. Are these the signings of a title challenging side? You decide!

Dunno if I got hold of the wrong end of the stick or everyone else did, but this bit (Ade)Ba(yor) as it stands won't be signing any sort of permanent deal until the summer. Seems to have confused people. UNTIL the summer rather than not at all.

Finally POTL

When: 12/01/12
Where: COYS
Good solid squad player, been immense in training- won't be leaving.

Does some other ITK want to respond to this............:wink:

In the world of Football, this interview was interesting:
John Terry: "Sometimes you've got to do the ugly stuff."
Gary Neville's wife was seen nodding vigorously in the background.

The mrs challenged me to a game of darts, saying i could go through the card with her and do anything I wanted if I won. Easy peasy, after all, the only time she will see 180 is when she's programming the oven.

That's it, short and sweet.

WE RELY ON YOU TO DONATE AND HELP KEEP SC RUNNING!
PLEASE PUSH THE BUTTON AND MAKE OUR DAY!
EVERY LITTLE HELPS!

Cheers for the round up A&C!

Spoke to some fella who works for the Fulham Chronicle earlier. Reckons if Tevez leaves Man City for another Premier League club it'll be Chelsea or QPR. Chelsea are the only team in the Prem who can afford to pay him what he earns now, without any wage cuts. While he also said, although you may laugh at the QPR link, him (tevez) and Mark Hughes share the same agent, and apparently it is very very possible he may be loaned to QPR

 

[Super Tottenham]

Tevez hasn't played since like mid September, he is going to be so out of shape for a while.

 

[$hoguN]

Thanks for the round-up A&C

 

[bubble07]

Tevez is quality but not for this season

 

[the yid]

SSN QPR bid for Pienaar

 

[PT]

Levy says fuck off.

 

[Hot-Spur]

Why can someone not bid for Pavlova? :bang:

 

[steveb]

As it is the only info i get from a colleague, i have had a chat with him today re Man City and Tevez.
He advised that patients are wearing pretty thin at the moment as Mancini just wants him gone and yesterday's events did not go down well. However this is a feeling that Milan know the situation and are just holding out for a better deal and Tevez will end up there in the end.

Man City do not want to sell or loan Tevez to another premier league club, whether they start to panic nearer the end of the window and that stances changes who knows

 

[CAS_GG]

Weren't we told Pienaar wasn't for sale by one of the ITK's?

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

SSN QPR bid for Pienaar

SSN: Spurs reject bid.

 

[PT]

SSN: Spurs reject bid.

What I said, big nose. :razz:

 

[$hoguN]

SSN QPR bid for Pienaar

SSN: Spurs reject bid.

:lol:

This could go on a long time with bids and rejections according to "SSN sources"

I love Tevez as a footballer. He is simply fantastic. Nobody can question that. I'd have him over Rooney all day long. I have always said that. If there was a chance we could sign him we should do it. But I dont see it happening.

Tevez, Pato are both available. Both top drawer strikers. Its a shame we cant attract them though.

I think despite his undoubted talent, Tevez makes teams too one-dimensional as he cannot play in the VDV role or as a wide striker, so needs to be played upfront, meaning you have to play a 442 or he has to be your loan striker, who is unable to win the ball in the air an is not fantastic with his back to goal.

Wrong sport, Hottie...he's a Russian ballerina :wink:

 

[Cyspurs]

Looks like POTL god it right regarding Pienaar according to skysports.... I would have got the money and run to be honest!!

 

[brasil_spur]

Levy says fuck off.

Hopefully they'll come back with a sensible offer.

I think we should sell him to be honest, we have Falque on loan who can cover in place of Pienaar, and Kranjcar plays in the same positions as him and is a better player IMO.

If we could make a sensible profit on Pienaar, which you'd think is possible with QPR, then we should do it and add the funds to the striker pot.

 

[#1 Spur]

You don't accept a first bid.
