The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 13 July 2011

don't tend to post things unless they are 80% sure at least.

Thank goodness, i would have hated the thought that he would publish if only 79% sure.

He must have a very accurate measure of certainty to stick to such a rule.

Times = News International. Enough said about their standards of sports journalism.

According to Setanta we're looking to sign Branero

Apparently to add some fibre to midfield

Branero? Really? Man, they need to use spell check.

 

[StartingPrice]

Is there actually any ITK on Granero, or is it just journos adding 2 and 2 and getting 5?

I will asak again, same as yesterday, is there any ITK on the two Russians that have been in the press, or is that just paper talk?

Dawson...The Sun...folk pay their wages. Don't buy the papers, make them look for honest work:roll:

 

[jedimonkey]

Before anyone feels the need to get into it, there's a thread all about it in Spurs Chat. A couple of clicks and away you go!

Cheers, A&C. I assumed it was transfer news, my mistake. Won't happen again

Its come from the football editor of the The Times. Not exactly a red top and don't tend to post things unless they are 80% sure at least.

Same building as news of the world and same company. But just because its not got a red top its legit. :lol:

Haha quality!! That Branero is a class player though :grin: to be fair it sounds more like a piece of bread!

I think Granero would be a good signing, I agree with Graham Hunter when he says he is underrated.

Ridiculous generalisation.

Just because they're owned by the same ultimate company says nothing of editorial standards. That's a very lazy comparison.

As someone that has read The Times sports section for the last 10 years, I take massive offence to that being compared to its sister 'rags'.

 

[matrixity]

In the Spanish press they mention today that Atl Madrid want Falcao to replace Aguero. The article also mentions his 30m€ buyout clause. We must go for him, would be an amazing signing and we must be a more attractive option at the moment than Atl Madrid! I just hope Villa Boas sticks with Torred & Co and doesnt go for Falcao.

 

[lifeof...]

I think you could be onto something. A&C we give you your new terms and conditions!

Jules: Does he look like a bitch?
Brett: What?
Jules: [shoots Brett in the shoulder; Brett screams] Does he look...like a bitch?
Brett: [in pain] No!
Jules: Then why'd you try to fuck him like a bitch, Brett?
Brett: [faintly] I didn't.
Jules: Yes, you did. Yes, you did, Brett. You tried to fuck him. And a&c don't like to be fucked by anybody except Mrs. A&c. You read the Bible, Brett?

And just for A&C incase he needs it

Many of the journalists are common to both publications and the share the same repository of "source" material

Why must we be a more attractive option than Atl Madrid?

As far as i can see, there is no itk, on all the above, only paper talk, without relevant qoutes

Who?

Simon Barnes? Matt Dickinson? Giles Smith?

Fucking doubt it.

 

[Spurvert]

Because, unlike Atl Madrid, we haven't sold our #1 keeper and our best player isn't going to be sold this summer

Falcao said he wants to play in the EPL. We should be bidding for him at the very least. If, IF, IF we were to sign him this summer then he could be the one to propel us beyond 3rd place.

Whoever he goes to will sign a world class striker

The most recent ITK update is about Granero :wink:

I don't know anything about him to be honest. I suppose I'm trying not to think about him as I suspect his purchase would mean the nightmare scenario that we must not discuss in here.

So is he any good?

[Update 227] Roger Morgan - Sandro/Granero
Who: Roger Morgan
Where: SO
When: 12 July

Re: Sandro........Knee injury and op needed. 4 week job. We are in for granero of real Madrid.

 

[$hoguN]

Surely the Sandro injury must be making us think twice about selling Palacios, if it is not we must be very confident we can sign someone like Diarra to fill this role
