The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The BiPolar Edition 30th May

[Danners9]

It can sometimes work that way, the thing about Bale is though that he's pretty easily the best player in the league imo, which means we have the potential to reach a higher level than anyone else. We HAVE to build on that imo, to take the opportunity we have.

If I was Bale though I would be wondering whether I'm going to have to carry the team on my shoulders for another year though, and continue getting double and triple marked without having other quality attacking players to exploit the space that creates on the pitch. It must be pretty frustrating, if we're not serious about adding real quality to the team then I wouldn't blame him at all for wanting to leave. But if we do add quality players I would expect him to stay and give it a shot next season.

either frustrating or exciting, he can either be dragged down by it or pushed on to do even better knowing the teammates will find him in positions for him to perform.

It's like how winning teams don't complain of tiredness. They want to keep winning. If he is in a team winning games as, by and large, we have been, and there is a clear progression (again, there has been) there's no reason to be frustrated. The other players are just as useful, some could be more useful than they had been as well, and as a whole the team is improving. Plus his manager believes in him and gets the best out of him.

Real Madrid is glamorous but not the most stable environment.

The whole Brazil team was dire in the final, get over it. They were quite fantastic in all the other games and didn't Leandro win the "golden boot" of that tournament? Our team got outplayed by Basel over two legs, does that mean our players are shit because on the day we lost to a lesser side? Leandro will be a good signing for us if he signs and he is a good prospect. I wish that people can stop being so FUCKING NEGATIVE all the time.

Says the man with the "Tottenham Hotspur - We do not triumph" message etched in stone beneath his name"! I agree with you by the way.

No offence intended but I hardly think so. Ossie and Villa had just won the World Cup when we signed them. Yes David Villa has done this and most things is football but Leandro couldn't even help his team beat Mexico in the Olympic final.

He was the top scorer in the tournament and took his team to the final.

I'm just hoping the latest ITK happens and it magically starts the ball rolling??

 

[13VanDerBale13]

the latest ITK regarding Leandro is similar to last year in regards to Vertonghen. England played Belgium at wembley on June 2nd (same date as this weekend vs Brazil) and some said Vertonghen deal would be completed b4 they play eachother, it ended up being completed 2 weeks later.

Obviously i hope its completed this weekend, but i wouldn't be surprised if it's in 2 weeks as like last year.

 

[Supersi32]

I think Leandro would be a good signing, as would Villa, I wonder if AVB see the latter playing a wide forward role in a 4-3-3.

 

[Misfit]

So, uh, this Leandro thing might finally happen then? Apparently the Inter chairman is publically saying that nothing is happening and we've made no approach etc. Yep, all signs are pointing to it becoming reality. I mean, when we've got that flip-flopping wanker at Inter saying fuck all is going on, it's got to be as good as done, Shirley.

Not even in June yet and it seems like wheels are turning.

Yep it looks like we are FINALLY investing early in the transfer window!

 

[Cyspurs]

Guys this is DL we are talking about. If he gets offered anything over 50m he will take it and run. And then he will tell us how Andros Townsend will become better than Bale!

 

[bomberH]

I object to the thread title, though I really like the title of this thread.

 

[Misfit]

Yep. All my digits are crossed. Get a nice big juicy one in the net early on and I'll unclench slightly.

 

[Indisguise]

Gawd, why is everyone talking in terms of days and weeks in relation to Leandro. Everyone knows its months and years! He's like "tomorrow": he never comes! He's not Leandro fecking Damiao, he's "Tomorrow" fecking Damiao.

Love you all and hope it happens soon by the way.

I think this could be the case and Bale and Villa as the two wide forwards is an exciting prospect. As for Leandro, i'm not convinced. Would much rather we go all out for Benteke instead.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

All of you addicted already? Good, now's the time to mention that we really need donations ;-)

Meh, that'll raise about 15p. You're way too nice. Watch and learn........

Ooops, did I lock this thread?

Thank you to those who donated yesterday. To those of you who didn't, I say this. SC really IS IN THE SHIT RIGHT NOW.

The affiliates brings in so much but Rob covers the rest out of his own pocket. And that can't go on for long. The reserves we built up during the last transfer window have gone and its looking fucking bleak right now. It's a constant fight to raise enough to keep going.

We could downsize the server but that would probably, well almost deffo mean having a site that constantly crashes which in turn would mean all of this, all the banter, the fun, the ITK, the working hours you idle away going down the shitter. SC will continue to exist, but it'll be a much poorer, slower and manky site. And you'd have to do some actual work. Whilst that might be good for the economy, it's shit really isn't it?

So if you've got a few spare quid twiddling its thumbs in your Paypal account please send it our way and we'll put it to better use than you would. Fucking food and rent my arse. Get your priorities sorted for fucks sake.

A donation will also oil the key in the padlock. Win Win.

Thanks guys. This is why I love you all. And your mums. (But we'll talk about that another time)

Careful....we've been here on more than one occasion.

We'll still be screaming at the walls come the end of August.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

And away we go again. As soon as Rob lets me know i'll pass on how we got along. Thanks guys.

For the first time in my life I've actually donated to a website... I feel dirty.

 

[talkshowhost86]

Someone sack Chrissivad. I looked at the ITK thread, saw 'update 78' and thought we'd had an absolute avalanche of ITK.

The swine.

 

[Insomnia]

I think he'll join & then fuck off after one season coz we all call him Leandro when he wants to be known as Damiao

 

[Parkie]

Right £10 donated and Transfer Pledge thread started.

Go to it.
Pledge your money.
Wait for that moment of euphoria when Messi signs and then realise you pledged £1,000,000 and your left nut - get out the surgical instruments and start working out a payment plan!

It's in the Transfer section - you know what to do.
