Just a simple cut and paste of my earlier post in the ITK thread, just to make things official:

Right you fuckers, I've done NO work since last Friday, I have a meeting at The Savoy at lunchtime (la di da) and I'll be straight back to read almost every word written on here :facepalm:

Yesterday was epic, so a tenner has just been donated to help your poor servers. I also pledge:

A fiver if we announce Willian

A tenner if we announce Lamela

A tenner if we announce Coentrao

A fiver for a random centre forward or centre back

COYS my lovelies.

For every signing that costs the following I will pledge;

£5m -£10m = £5 Chadli
£10m -£15m = £10
£15m-£20m =£15 Paulinho
£20+ = £20 Soldado

£40 donated and counting. I sense poverty, enveloping me…

Another fiver in the pot for Capoue. £45 high and rising…

Right......it's the final furlong, the fat ladies almost singing......it's good old squeaky bum time.

No matter what the final week of the TW turns out like, I have absolutely LOVED the past month on here!! It's been the best transfer window ever and the craic's been relentless never mind hilarious!

donations/pledges as follows:

Lamela - £50 (almost done but still worth handing over a nifty)
Erickson - £50
Chirchies - £50 (again almost done but same as above with lamela)
Hulk - £75
Pastore - £100
Mata - £200 (no chance!)
Rooney - £1000 (says it all!)

If bale stays I'll double up on any of the above that come in.

Bring it on!!!!!

PS - Massive shout out to the mods, TOP CLASS job as always

I may have to 'do a Madrid' and pay back my pledges over several seasons. This is getting ridiculous

So as per my pledges above, if we do announce Chiriches and Lamela then another 15 of your English dollars are on their way to the SC pub fund

Paid Out:

Paulinho - £10
Soldado - £10
Spelling Error - £5
Lamela - £10 (ADDED)

All payments are up to date on my end, looks like Halilovic is possibly next for me at £10 for every signing over £10 million.

Lamela announced publicly in Italy is enough for me. Looks like SC is seeing more money from my raise than the Mrs is. Also looks like I may have picked the wrong transfer window to pledge £10 for ever signing over £10 million. I suppose Halilovic is still a possibility, will be interesting to see what price Eriksen goes through at, if he does.

I'd also like to make an additional pledge, £1 for every £1 million we spend if it's on Mata or another similar OMG type of player. Granted this is somewhat at my discretion, and I'm not sure we've been linked to anybody other than Mata who would fill it at the moment, and I do realize it's a tenuous link at best. Lamela would have counted, Willian probably not (I was never too bothered by him TBH). I guess my point is I will try to find a way to convince myself I am obligated to give more money to the site if THFC can give me somewhat of a compelling reason to. (y)

Right:
Villa: £10
Damiao: £10
Benteke: £15
Any other "big name" (that I like): £10
Any other signing: £5

Edit: £10 paid as I like Paulinho because he has a shiny face.
Edit: keeping Damiao, Benteke and Bale. The tenner for signings I like continue.
Bernard £15
Chadli £10 (unless confirmed that he is in place of Bernard in which case he can pay me!) I'm waiting!
Alderwald £10
Croatian kiddie £10
Edit: Chadli Paid!
Edit: Soldado paid (as I like him)
edit: £5 in for Capoue - may rise to £10 if I start to like him!
Edit - OK, I like him! Another £5 for Capoue
Plus £10 for Lamela and £5 for Chiriches (plus a £2 fine administered for taking the piss out of other currencies) - paid!

reposted from ITK thread

Well, another round of winners in the "pledge til you're broke" window!
(Also known as "Rob wants a speedboat").

With the stamping of Lamela and Chiriches, lucky times arrived for the following punters - including Dannel whose post reminded me to remind you to add the pledges you make in the ITK thread to the Pledge thread or you may well miss out on the great cash prizes on offer!*

(*no cash prizes are actually on offer but you get kudos, love, respect and lots of positive reps from everyone for funding the lurkathon and giving A&C an outlet for his depravity that does not require significant government investment that would otherwise be necessary).

Dannel - £10 for every incoming transfer completed (with Stoof stamp) from now till end of the window. - that's £20 please!

Parkie - Any other "big name" (that I like): £10 (Lamela) and Any other signing: £5 (Chiriches) - but I'm adding the other £5 as I now very much like Capoue!

Ravo - Other first team players £5 each - £10 please!

Lillywhites61 - Any attacking midfielder £10 - £10 please!

Syn_13 - Creative attacking mid/wide forward/winger - £5 - £5 please!

MonkeyBastardHands - Each other "household name" signing - £10
Every other player we sign - £1 each -£11 then please!

GBSpurs - For every signing that costs the following I will pledge;
£5m -£10m = £5
£10m -£15m = £10
£15m-£20m =£15
£20+ = £20
- £30 I think!

TottenhamLegend - Plus a bonus if we break our transfer record: £2 for every 1m we break it by (I'm assuming it is currently £16m). - the gift that keeps on giving! - another £28?!

Davids_5 - £10 for a creative midfield player - £10 please!

IanKane - Sign anyone - £5 (per signing) - another £10 please!

StupidLikeAFox - Lamela - £10
Also, do you want to cash out on the "£1 per million we spend"?!

Bus Conductor - Lamela 30

Bruts - Every signing over £10 million - £5 - £10 please!

N17Jack - Lamela £30

Reece - I'll give a tenner for each player we sign who has Villa somewhere in their name in addition to a tenner per player who is signed from a club that has likewise - until Feb 1st.
- you are not going to believe this, seriously! Lamela is an anagram of Villa me! Is that another tenner?
Did I mention my dyslexia? I'm a fully paid up member of DNA - the National Association of Dylslexics.

MilkyBarYid - Lamela £12.50

EnfieldYiddo - Any player who beats our record transfer: £10 - are you tallying them up?

BryanaButler - Lamela £20

Youcef offered £10 for Ljalic... We bought the guy he replaces. Whaddayathink?

ChrisFinch - £20 if Bale stays or is replaced with Lamela

Sweech - Lamela - $50, Chiriches - $20 (before anyone gets too excited, that is Canadian Dollars which are probably not even real money! I bet they are just leaves covered in syrup or something!)

Parkie - £1 fine for making a racist remark - doh!

Vdv112 - I'll donate $20(from Australia) if we sign Lamela (again, a made-up currency with all the validity of Monopoly money. Do you know it's printed on plastic so you can still use it even if you store it in the mucus filled pouch of a kangaroo so you have a hopping wallet?!)

Parkie - £1 fine for making a racist remark - doh!

PhezTHFC - £10 Lamela and £10 another full international - £20

Pauline-Ho/I miss the Waddler - A tenner if we announce Lamela...A fiver for a random centre forward or centre back - £15 please!

SlunkSoma - Lamela to join £10 (regardless of Bale)

Garymcl - Lamela - £50 (almost done but still worth handing over a nifty) Chirchies - £50 (again almost done but same as above with lamela) - £100!

Strader - we'll settle up at the end of the window - is that cumulative or based on the final nett spend? If cumulative, you are a very generous lad... If nett, you are about to be a massive Levy fan!

Antilokhos - £10 Lamela


Wow! What a lot of heroes!
Don't forget to press the yellow button of celebration!

And remember, there's more to come! Don't miss out on the excitement! It's never too late to pledge on those last minute Levy specials...
Mamma wants a speedboat!

(Please note - if Eriksen signs in the next 30 mins or so I will not be happy! Cuttin n pastin n quippin is takin its toll!)




imagine my surprise when about an hour later...
Keeerist!

I'm just finished putting the final touches to the last "give Rob your cash" post and thinking two signings is a pretty good day and then a blimmin' Scandiwegian arrives in the last post!

So, back to it to trawl the pledge thread and see who mentioned Christian "Villa" Eriksen in their pledges.

Oh, and, please remember that there is still time left in the crazy window where Levy found the wheelbarrow (it was behind the war-chest after all) and gave it to Kevin Keegan's illegitimate brother and sent him off round Europe with a wish list made up of Liverpool's targets ( ;) ) and pure fantasy...
You too could end up listed below in the glorious roll of honour if your picks come in (let's face it - name a player you want in a Spurs shirt - the odds are we will sign them!).

So, tonight's rollover winners are:

Parkie - Any other "big name" (that I like): £10 - I like Eriksen

Mr Pink - Erikson £20.00

Revo - Other first team players £5 each

Whitechina - Erikson £5

Lillywhites61 - Any attacking midfielder £10

Syn_13 - Creative attacking mid/wide forward/winger - £5

Indacupfortottenham - Erikson £5

MonkeyBastardHands - Each other "household name" signing - £10
(This even comes up on Autocorrect now!)

GBSpurs - £10m -£15m = £10 (£11.5m apparently)

Joshua shepherd - Eriksen - £10

Davids_5 - £10 for a creative midfield player

Ian Kane - Sign anyone - £5 (per signing)

StupidLikeAFox - And £1 for every million spent (another £11.50!)

Bus-Conductor - Eriksen 50

Bruts - Every signing over £10 million - £5

N17Jack - Erickson, sorry about the spelling, £20

Reece - please let me know if this joke is getting old!
I'll give a tenner for each player we sign who has Villa somewhere in their name in addition to a tenner per player who is signed from a club that has likewise - until Feb 1st.
See second sentence of this post!

MilkyBarYid - we've finally signed someone who hasn't cost you money!

Guilty party - £10m -£15m = £10
(did I miss you off the previous roundup? If so, sorry!)

Sweech - Eriksen - $20 (Canadian)

Garymcl - Erickson - £50 (it's not your night is it?! - or is it the night of your life?!)

PhezTHFC - £10 Another full international

Thanks!
Think about it - this list alone is £261.50 (plus whatever $20 works out at) - the servers cost £390 per month so we are almost there without random generosity that just comes out of the blue as well...

That is a hint.

In fact, Garymcl has bought two weeks of access for you lot in one day today! That's about 600 people who can spaff themselves blind (mass)debating the merits of AVB's beard dye for a fortnight due to one simple pledge.

In the words of Bob Geldof: "Give us yer feckin money!"
