The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 14 August 2011

[Mr Pink]

I think the deal's been done for a while, they're just waiting to get rid of Angel.

Yep agreed.

 

[gibbospurs]

I really hope so, he should see we are SO close to be top contenders for the top 3 spots. Liverpool will get better i should think, but Arsenal are going backwards and Chelsea are awful.
Now is the time to spend, we have a real chance of doing something special.
Did i read somewhere that arry was watching cahill on saturday? Any itks on that?

Jet set or whatever his name is confirmed it, he is not an itk but he is a bit mysterious, adds little bits now and then. Not a wum as lots of posts and a member for years. :shrug: journo reckons def deal happening with tasci.

 

[HailKingLevy]

Maybe Keane is the catalyst to all our transfer movement, if he does have
parity with the top earners then there is no way we would get him off the books
and he would of been an expensive passenger..

Now he has gone we can bring in 2 120k a week guys and it can be balanced.

 

[matrixity]

So, you're picking and choosing which ITK to believe according to which player(s) are mentioned? Brilliant.

No, i try to believe everything that any itks give us, but the journalist is so positive about huntelaar that i think its prob a done deal, if not why be so 100% sure.
Im only saying i hope he doesnt sign for spurs, id rather other options.

 

[steventhfc]

Cheers, is your guy any good? (non sexual) Does he think they may deal with us? Cant see it myself but keeping positive. just...

I've only found out non spurs info from him before but its all happened, I.E Sanchez to Barca before it hit, DJ Campbell to every single club he's gone to, and Miguel Velosa when he went Genoa. Never had any info regarding Spurs apart from when he spoke to Falcaos people at a football agency evening and stuff.

 

[srups34]

Was there any itk on Keano going to LA Galaxy?

 

[Adamspurs]

I'm still not 100% that Robbie will go over there. He has always seemed very committed to Ireland and surely he knows that going over to play in the MLS will signal the end of his international career.

Then again, fingers crossed.

KJH isn't my first choice either, but would take him for sure as long as we get someone else too. The Journalist is pretty sure & standing by his comments..........good on him.

Beckham still played for england!

 

[Spurvert]

I'd prefer Adebayor to Huntelaar.

Don't think so, was very out of the blue.

He would certainly be an upgrade on crouch.

Does Keane really have a clause in his contract saying he has to have parity with top earners or is that just rumour? If it is the case getting rid of Keane has to be the first move as if he suddenly got handed a bumper pay rise he may have stuck around! I'm not convinced he would have that clause in his contract but I could well be wrong.

However agree it could just be the kick start we need to get this transfer window really moving, surely if we sell one striker that leaves room for a shiny new one! (No one bring up selling Keane and Bertabov and getting Campbell - surely we won't do that again!)

Don't see us giving anyone wage of 120k a week though!

 

[Scott Spur]

I'd prefer Adebayor to Huntelaar.

all day long.......at least he can't continue to score against us!

You are young, Grasshopper.

ITK from the past have fallen on their percentage sword.

 

[fazza]

Fourth_Official Fourth Official Robbie Keane signs for LA Galaxy for a fee of £3.75m after rejecting an offer from Leicester #THFC #LCFC

 

[Scott Spur]

He would certainly be an upgrade on crouch.

that my friend i cannot disagree with!

 

[hugrr]

Ben Smith at the times, and Swanson at Sky both say the deal for Robbie to LA has been done, POTL has said that it's pretty much done too, and if it isn't then Leicester have made a bid

 

[GoldstarYid]

C'mon Levy, bring someone in now that Keane is gone so we can all stop worrying.
