Can't believe people here wouldn't want Huntelaar to be honest.

I can't believe anyone who has watched the guy play would want him. His hold up play is akin to Pav's, his finishing is about as good as Pav's too, he has less pace than Pav, has movement as good as Pav's and well he does have slightly better control. Oh let's not forget Pav can cross better

If his info is true and our ambition is to sign KHJ and Farfan I think i'd cry with dissapointment for weeks! I'd rather keep what we have than waste money on these two.

I reckon the Journalist is Defoe, trying to manipulate us in to finding him remotely paletable again.

Just had another text

"Bellamy wants to go to Cardiff"

"Its bullshit I'm told but you never know" Regarding him to us and this comes from a certain welsh man

That makes me feel better :up:

That is the feeling amongst journos up here who are mostly City fans and generally hate us, but are sadly pretty accurate with their info.

Are there any journos who are spurs fans?

DL needs to put some money in a THFC football writers academy. I'm fed up with reporting of us that is completely biassed and misleading.

As someone said, Sky were quick enough to get their tongues back up Chelsea arses when they made a mistake but you don't see them doing the same to correct their BS about Luka's "transfer request"

Quite possibly the best text message of all time :razz:

Come off it, we all know you're really Mrs Redknapp.

So Pav's as good a finisher as KJH? Yeah, ok.

Picture of Bobby Robson identifying transfer targets in 1969. I bet this is what Harry's office looks like now with loads of cuttings from a 2008 Match magazine all over the floor.

Something about that shot makes me think of a serial killer.

how exactly do you 'verify' a new 'itk's' source?

Ask them questions, compare answers to what we know, various ways. We've had several individuals that have been denied the right to post and others who have been unwilling to give us a source, which is their right. In terms of verification, there's no substitute for hindsight though, so generally the individual stands or falls from their info. As long as posters know they can question the info in a respectful way that doesn't abuse or offend the individual then most posters on here can 'enjoy' the information on its own merits.

Can't say I'm over impressed by the quality of the Journalist's ahem source.
I'm sure he's got right that the majority of people we're linked with we won't be signing but that is not saying much.

Ah! Fair enough, I live and work around Salford Quays so the majority of football-related folk I know are from United, along with friends at Blackburn.

Exactly the sort of post we really don't want or need.

Take it with a pinch of salt as we take everyone's. It's not fucking difficult, even if you are privy to information as well.

B0NZ0 · Jul 21, 2011

I think even the most pessimistic spurs fan would agree Levy IS ambitious. We have lots of sources telling us that we have money, not all spurs related neither. We have Harry bigging up Levy despite a supposed rocky relationship.

I have confidence we are trying to tie up a couple of quality players, and I'm confident Levy and co know what quality is. But our major stumbling blocks are a) Wage structure b) lacking of rich benefactor enabling us to throw money at anyone c) relative reputation of spurs given the other club in the premier league.

These stumbling blocks may prevent us getting the top draw striker we all crave, but I find it hard to believe we aren't at least trying for them!

:grin: I like your thinking, Defoe all is (nearly) forgiven!! I just refuse to believe that our ambition is to sign KJH and Farfan...the sheer thought makes me want to puke

Yeah pretty underwhelming...

It's the problem with ITK though isn't it... if it mentions Rossi, Adebayour or god forbid cryptically doesn't rule out Aguero, then we're all sitting here hands on the preverbials.

If its about Bellamy, KJH etc... we're all reading up on how best to jump off a bridge.

Lol.

it's all just as right and wrong until its on the OS, until then, its some speculation and banter.

Right that said, off to find a knife and some rope.

tRiKS · Jul 21, 2011

IF KJH and VDV get on then i think it's a move we should be encouraged by if it happens.

mabizela · Jul 21, 2011

I'm literally going to explode unless we sign someone class soon. I can't hide this frustration for any longer.
