The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Twitterati - 10th January

[King of Otters]

Son is known as a versatile attacker due to his ability to use both feet equally well; he can play either as a striker, attacking midfielder, or winger on either side. Son has confirmed this, saying, "I don't care where I play. The main thing is I'm in the game. I can play right, left, as a forward or behind it. What the coach says, I'll do. I don't have a favorite position. I'll be anywhere and always on the throttle."Other strengths of Son include his explosive pace, dribbling abilities, composure in front of goal, and hard-working nature.

Sounds like exactly what we've been looking for to be honest.

I've already decided that this window will be a fucking shambles if we don't sign Heung-Min Son!

Like the 'explosive pace' part. South Korea produce good players, technically adept and hard working but, to quote Wenger, they often 'lack a little bit physically'.

No, i dont think animosity solves anything...

Yes, I read it all, believed (and shared!) sometimes when I shouldve been more grounded.

I dont want to start another arguement, I only posted as i was fed up of reading about arguements.

Sorry...I'm not trying to be confrontational. I generally agree/liked what you were saying, but I think there are good reasons why people on here are so dismissive of info from certain quarters, because essentially a lot of people were lied to, or logged in to see fellow Spurs fans being lied to.

Hang on...have you actually sat down and looked at what Akqa said on here during the summer? Chatting bollocks about Gio looking good in training when it turned out he was away with the Mexico team, claiming Vertonghen was in a London hotel when he was still in Holland, claiming Lloris was a done deal when we were in the States, and Moutinho, and Falcao (goodnight)...

If something smells like bullshit and looks like bullshit, its probably bullshit. If some twats on twitter can't get over people on a forum calling it as they see it well that's their problem. Akqa and Adiepf were stopped from posting itk on here largely because they were stringing along fellow Spurs fans to boost their own egos, and for their own amusement. Do you not think that explains the level of animosity directed at them by some on this forum?

I wasn't sucked into Akqa or Adiepf's fabrications for a minute, so it's not about feeling stupid for taking someone too seriously. It was the fact that they clogged up this place with nonsense, and got a lot of hopes up, that I disliked.

Yep you are right what a total WUM Lloris us still at Lyon and we never got an official extension from the FA as we were that close on Moutinho.

 

[Indisguise]

Bild's actually been pretty accurate hasn't it? And this seems kind of "too far out from left field" with Heung-Min Son to not be true. Seems like they must have heard something.

Probably the left field itk A&C was referring to?

 

[Mouse!]

My word.

 

[Spurger King]

Lloris wasn't 'done' when we were playing in America. Moutinho wasn't 'done' at any point in the summer, and still isn't.

It's not rocket science. He has some connections, but gets a buzz out of the reaction he gets to providing info, which is why he started making stuff up....or to use your glib form of sarcasm perhaps I missed Falcao playing at White Hart Lane this season.

 

[taidgh]

Yes please.

why? can you elaborate?

 

[Spirit58]

This is the actual Bild article:

In addition to the Hamburg Koreans, the Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon to make 25 legs.The England .

So thats how he can run so fast

 

[Joe091]

the brown nosing is just as bad as the 'abuse'

cringe

Whoops, sorry for the disagree, mate. My first iPhone mistake!

 

[sbrustad]

My word.

You know, the asians are known to be well Heung.

Meh, so does Lennon and so do countless other players. The really good players will find ways around that. There aren't many burly players with the technique of Mata, Oscar etc. You have to deduce that their technique is a result of having to work harder on their game to make up for their lack of physicality.

Ronaldo/Bale are the closest you get to players with both and they are both exceptionally hard workers.

No worries, thanks. I guess i should post more. Just generally happy reading. You can tell when i became a member by my username!

Dismissive is fine, pinch of salt and all that. Derogatory slating and bashing is not.

Some say its banter, but they forget that can get lost when reading text.

Really need to log off! Goodnight!

The falcao one makes a great bed time story.

Didn't say he was 100 % but not a bad hit rate that stands up with the likes of Ben and Archie and I don't recall him saying they were done just that we would be picking up duty free on the way home so not too far from the truth really. Anyway no time to argue I have to get back to being glib

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Bild linking us with Heung-Min Son

http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/bild-tottenham-prepare-e10m-bid-for-hamburg-striker-heung-min-son/

I really hope this is true, exactly what we need, also i reckon it would be pretty cool to sing "nice one Heung-Min, nice one Son!!, nice one Heung-Min, lets 'ave another one!!!!!"

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Also, Sonny with 1.84 meters almost 20 inches longer than Lennon (1.65 m), which gives advantages in the header.

He must be 'well heung'

Sorry, the 'glib' comment was uncalled for.

I wasn't aware he had said that. If that's true, it might just be it.

 

[codspur]

No worries mate and apologies for being defensive just think he is a good guy who got a bit overexcited at times

 

[Mouse!]

Remember when we were linked to Milan Badelj? Doing really well for Hamburgers this season.
