The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - THE LAST MINUTE OF THE LAST HOUR OF THE LAST DAY 31st August 2012

[shyfx2k2]

If we're still working on it, then there is hope. We would have stopped about half an hour ago if there was no hope surely?

 

[RiotHartLane]

What would be the most dramatic finish for deadline day on SSN? = A last minute moutinho signing, keep the faith!! (I might be clutching at straws but I refuse to give up yet)

 

[wishkah]

somethings just happened myside. on phone like a mad man.

could be the bins being collected, but being a fan i'm losing hair.

 

[rockyhotspur]

I think that we will go back for Moutinho in January.

 

[Sanj]

i'm sure the moutinho deal is agreed with the player/agent. If we can agree with porto, the paperwork will be faxed straight across....
Still hoping.......

 

[thePessimist]

Bet daniel is working on his letter to the fans

 

[Blake Griffin]

ding dong ding dong. it's over guys.

I'm loving this window.

Losing Modric was a blow but one that was always going to happen. Gylfi was a direct VdV replacement who can play in AVB's choice of system. Dempsey is another no brainer - a real workhorse who scores goals and can play either upfront or in midfield and will combine well with the talented Dembele. Verts at the back was a real coup when half the clubs in Europe were interested in him, and we got Ade for the change down the back of Levy's sofa and a couple of books of Green Shield stamps.

In addition we've shifted most of the dead wood with the exception of Jenas and Bentley who must be infected with honey fungus. My only real disappointment is we've still got Defoe but we can shift him out in january when Leandro may be available.

Not that bothered about Moutinho who is a good player but no better than someone like Hector Herrera who is younger and would cost half the price. Kaboul's injury is a blow but we have Caulker as back up. If we do go for a CB i'd like to see us take a chance on Diego Reyes. I'm also delighted we didn't pay silly money for Willian or the massively overated Hulk.

Best of all is reading the bleatings from the know-nothing simpletons who are calling for Levy's head. If they had a winning lottery ticket they'd probably use it to wipe their arses. I'm no Levy lickspittle and i'd willingly criticise him if he'd had a bad window but IMHO he's played a blinder this time.

 

[vincent sideways]

come on levy, show us some love! PLEASE!

 

[Mr Pink]

Mouts is still happening, come on ffs

 

[dedend]

there's always january. we've made some good signings, can't knock any of them. case of delusions of grandeur. we can't really compete with the 'big boys' and sign the likes moutinho, not until we're regular cl competitors and have a new stadium.

ok i'm dissapointed we didn't get moutinho as he's quality but we've still had a very productful window.

 

[TottenhamLegend]

his agent has been at the lodge all day

Is there any chance whatsoever now?

 

[GetSpurredOn]

I think we have a good squad still, but just disappointed more by the way we have gone about things, too much timewasting, again, going for unrealistic targets and missing out on other promising options. I think we need to seriously look at our scouting network, start identifying less well known targets that we can secure cheaper and quicker, rather than aiming for players everybody else already knows about, that cost more and drag on.

 

[Outnumbered]

Check out the blonde with Dempsey

 

[yidstar]

Why are they making out Dempsey is a big signing on ssn?

 

[keenu]

My heart went in my mouth when they said lets go to Spurs just now ..... It was just Dempsey walking in though

 

[THFCPhil]

Lets look on the bright side..... We've got good cover in goal.
Maybe we have Gomes lined up for Modric's role!?

 

[Paul999]

Why didnt they know mouthino wages, avb must have done - what a farce

 

[Scutch]

Ok, who else got excited as fuck when Jim White said going to WHL only to see pictures of the back of Clint Dempsey's fucking head?

 

[elDiablo]

just pray that this is a late one confirmed in an hour or so, BUT has actually been registered in time.

David Ornstein ‏@bbcsport_david
Tottenham 100% still working on a deal to sign Porto midfielder Moutinho. Whether or not it happens is a different matter #bbcfootball

 

[stov]

good window. fact

 

[Mr Pink]

iTS GOING TO HAPPEN

 

[CosmicHotspur]

Deals can be completed after the deadline if registered.

 

[Cavehillspur]

SSN Moutinho stays at Poto - fuck that then

 

[shyfx2k2]

This is insane brinkmanship if this comes off.

 

[dedend]

moutinho staying

SLAM

 

[Gbspurs]

Not according to SSN

 

[DIEHARD]

Jim White

How the fuck does not bringing in Moutinho mean that Levy has had a superb day? not really.
