The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Knee Trembler Edition 9th July 2013

[Misfit]

Anyways. Benteke is an odd player physically. The upper body of Emile Heskey and the wiry matchstick legs of Peter Crouch. It's messed up.

That latest ITK would be a major dent if its content proves true. Getting players in before they become world class, as with bale,
is still our only way of competing with major CL clubs.

Some would even say he's a bit of a misfit.

you could double that in terrible performances from adebayor in one season yet he seems he hasn't had his arse ripped
out on here... pathetic, been done over & over & over again

I'm sorry you only joined Spurs Community this morning.

 

[Spurs_Bear]

yawn!

Classic.

 

[SpurSince57]

Jaspers 'ITK' always seems more like opinion. Is he rated over on SO?

Archibald's vouched for his information on a couple of occasions, but I've always been very dubious. He's usually very plausible, doesn't make any outrageous claims, but I struggle to recall when he's been first with anything, or actually been 'right' except in a very general sense.

 

[Scot-Spur]

Llm has been spot on with a few things I have seen him post! He's not in the read only yet but is in the process of getting verified iirc! He has said that the Croatian lads are close just crossing of the t's to be completed!!

So to sum up...

We're not getting Villa, we're not getting the young Croats and Benteke is likely to go somewhere else?

I hate you all.

 

[Holtby City]

I'm really not keen on the idea of Benteke. I think he's too clumsy and struggles when he's not given space - ideal for a mid-table side, but not good for one that will dominate midfield/camp in our opponent's half like we will.

I also think Benteke would be our only forward signing - i.e. the trade off will be Dempsey and Siggy remaining our left side options.

For me Leandro + Bernard for £15m a piece makes an awful lot more sense than £28m on Kenwyne Benteke.

That's ok TSH.

We all hate you too. Nothing to do with transfers falling through...

I'm not knocking The Journo, but I'm not sure how he can categorically say that Benteke hasn't visited the training ground.

cos he's talking bollocks. not at all like normal.

I think he meant Benteke hasn't visited the training ground recently because he's on holiday.

It does indeed but the trouble is their clubs want 20 million a piece not 15.

 

[HappySpur]

To be fair, while he started off with "he's on vacation and not been there"

he did follow it up with a comment concerning any visit to Norf London with

not from what we believe or been told

for one, bernard will cost more than £15m. for two, what has damiao actually done to command a £15m+ fee? thirdly, benteke has only been outscored by messi and ronaldo this calendar year. lastly, kenwyne jones' best goalscoring season to date is 10 goals so that's a crap comparison.

 

[Nocando]

I'm glad normal service has resumed and we're all hating everything, including each other again. Reach around's are over rated.

 

[SpurSince57]

who in the fuck is lord lucas????


(assuming you mean lord lucan lol)

He murdered Nani and disappeared.

I didn't need that man.

I really didn't need that.
