The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Benteke Bingo Edition 16th July 2013

[Spurger King]

Weird and confusing day. Who the hell do I believe?

I used to believe 1000000% of all ITK once. Now I'm stuck with a Louis Vuitton bag that I'm still paying for, and a Qatar Airways-sponsored Spurs shirt with Falcao Goodnight on the back

This could be where we are going wrong. Using treatments with no genuine evidence.

But then, you see those fancy coloured strips of tape everyone has down their hamstrings/back etc? No hard evidence.

I'll vouch for that black tape/strapping. No point going into detail (not the place for it) but it makes a fucking MASSIVE difference (or it did to me).

Resting he carries a hip injury which was really bad at the end of the season, so bad he was having pain killing injections to get through games. He has homeopathic (I think this is what it is called) medication to help ease the hipas it is an ongoing condition.

LLM, good work, appreciate it, top man, all that kind of stuff...

Any-hoo, you have mentioned before that you had a 'hunch' we would sign Higuian and there is a post form ja606 something about him and Benteke, would you kindly put us out of our collective jizz/doom mongering and clear up what's the score with
him?

Are we trying to bring him in as well as Benteke or what's the story?

Is it a nice hand bag or does it clash with the spurs shirt?

Your hair still dyed Blue & Yellow?

Bernard

Good night.

If Ade is indeed leaving, then we must be confident on doing a deal for Benteke. Though it still leaves us with two strikers, if no other forward is signed.

 

[Spunkmonkey]

chill we've got this

Bernard

Good night.

Manning? thought he pegged it years ago

In fairness, 'Duty Free' did come in!

......eventually.

Can anyone go on newsnow and see the top article headlined 'Bernard hints at possible Tottenham move' and click on it. I've done it, but can't find the article only a list of others. Maybe because I'm on my phone, but just want to make sure.

Fuck that doesn't look good!

Hope we really get the finger out with Benteke.

That's why other club's chairmen and agents hate dealing with Levy. He has cost the club so many top players with his last minute brinkmanship and going back on deals that were agreed. As alluded to by Journalist there's no love lost between Lerner and Levy so the Nenteke transfer will drag on and on IMHO

 

[nailsy]

Didn't Villa say he wouldn't decide anything until after the Confederations Cup?

 

[Francis Gibbs]

Looks like Levys mo may have killed the Villa and Croat kid deals

Misleading title unfortunately. It just mentions we are interested and then:

Bernard, 20, has spoken of his desire to win the competition and the possibility of leaving his homeland. He said: “If it's my last game [for Atletico Mineiro] or not, it will be one of the most important titles in my career.”

Seriously, our CM options are Sandro, Paulinho, Moose, Holtby, Siggy and Carroll. We're bloody spoiled there. That is assuming Scotty gets his move or you can add him in as well.

Yeah, I understand that many posters here think it lacks creativity and it's a tired conversation which I won't even attempt to start right now.

But, I think it's a lot more likely we go into the season with what we have (sans Huddlestone/Parker, maybe Livermore) and should January come around and it's obvious the creativity isn't there, we might look to add something.
