The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 10th July 2012

[yanno]

AVB will have worked with Carvalho at Chelsea. Apart from being a wiley old fox of a defender (although IMO he's way past his best) he'd also be AVB's dressing room capo as well maybe. A strong character, used to the EPL, iused to EPL players, who could be AVB's eyes and ears at ground level.

Dressing room capo, and coach if he wants it in a sesaon or two?

Fwiw AVB is less than a year older than Carvalho.

I'm distinctly underwhelmed with the idea of Freund as our new Number 2. As a player he was like Sherwood, but worse, and the "football genius" gag was always pure irony from the club of Hoddle and Ardiles.

Maybe the real "football genius" coach is this Luis Martins character...

Seriously, please stop speculating about the source of the info.

For those who are unable to read, maybe the removal of their access will make it clearer?

The ITK is from the Goat to keep the source anonymous, DO NOT ask who the source was or speculate about it. It wouldn't be posted by the Goat if the source hadn't been checked. Believe it's from whoever you want but we won't be talking about it.

 

[rockyhotspur]

If it was JJ and he wanted you to know it was him I'm sure he would have tweeted it or posted himself.

I know that nicdic. All I said was that it would be nice to know so that it would possibly give more credence to the information. No need for the neg rep!

 

[Montasura]

JJ said he was going to be a goat from now on... Or words to that effect.

 

[AB27]

Talks are underway and have been for a a number of days between Porto, JM and his Agent and DL and DE our end. Porto know his time is up and player ready to leave Portugal. AVB's number 1 target. Progress in motion. Hold caution on the responses and getting too excited but this move is underway.

POTL

Maybe a stupid question, but who is DE?

 

[Rob]

Eales?

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Maybe a stupid question, but who is DE?

Darren Eales

 

[Paul Rogers]

Maybe a stupid question, but who is DE?

Darren eales i think

Darren Eales? Not sure myself

You posted it directly after I asked for people not to speculate about it! That was me in a good mood, if I was in a bad news you'd have been on A&C's list!

;-)

Darren Eales

 

[Parkie]

Da Enforcer - he's Levy's "little friend" that encourages the other club to accept stupidly unprofitable terms on any deals.

 

[Chapel Hill Hotspur]

Have you considered it might be Darren Eales?

 

[Schitzophonic]

If the LV thing from akqayid wasn't annoying enough, he's added an R into Moutinho's last name. ¬_¬

akqayid ‏@akqayid
No no I want Mourts I want him bad.

 

[AB27]

Not 100%, but I think DE might just be Darren Eales.

Thanks everyone for the responses!

 

[Dan Yeats]

I don't give a stuff about the sources, I'm just happy that validated ITKs are posting such encouraging stuff about Moutinho. I didn't think this one would come off tbh, but I'm starting to get a wee bit excited about it now.

He's going to be the first name on my FF teamsheet next season if this happens!

*does excited little dance*

Trust the Goat.
The Goat is the way to enlightenment.
If the Goat says it, take it as the word of the lord God Alm-I-T-K.

Re: POTL''S latest entry - I refuse not to get excited now. I've watched things unveiling with cautious optimism and have been encouraged by certain things.

But now.....fuck it, we're gonna win the league!! Ok, maybe getting carried away slightly. But I've not known a preseason like it. Every single player signed or about to sign is exactly what I feel we need.

I mean if it all comes off a window of Lloris, Vertonghen, Adebayor, Sigurdsson, Mountino would be absolutely sensational, even if Modric goes. Plus hinting from JJ that at least one more striker is likely and links to two young hot defensive prospects.

Are you sure this is Spurs?!
