Good morning ITK fans, another day closer to a signing. :razz:

Or not. Who knows?

Not much of a round-up today i'm afraid, other things occupy me so i've had to keep it short. Sorry.

Yesterday's minimal amount of ITK started with peanut on Keane

Done. No longer a Spurs player. £2.2m for those of you who say DL is too stubborn to take a big hit on transfer fees...

Positive effect on transfers?

Adeybayor between us and marseille, City prefer to sell to them he prefers to come to us

Marseille not his prefered choice not sure if perm. no diarra if can't agree fee could be a loan
And that was it for the day.

I was in ASDA yesterday walking down the fruit & vegetable isle when I saw a dwarf pick up a packet of mushrooms. Was it wrong of me to shout "GROW MARIO, GROW!"


And now for a message from a certain ITK

A certain ITK would like to see you make a donation to help keep Spurs Community running. He said.....

Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow too.

A CERTAIN ITK SAYS HAVE YOU DONATED YET? WELL HAVE YOU?
EVERY LITTLE HELPS!


BLUE & YELLOW WATCH

Brad Friedel formerly of Blackburn Rovers, whose kits include B&Y
Robbie Keane signs for LA Galaxy whose kits include B&Y​

Why does it always seem like Tuesdays and Fridays are transfer d-days!! I would love us to get someone in today especially a striker. Fingers crossed something happens.

Maybe Dos Santos to go today.

Also what happened to Hutton's move to Villa?

Both those moves have been heavily hinted at by the ITK and it would be good to see them come off soon. We need to shift another 3 or 4 I reckon before bringing people in.

Ever get the feeling we wont do anything? It's all redknapps fault if you ask me, not making up his mind on who he wants, and levy then has to pick up the pieces.

Great news to get rid of such a high earner with no use to us. Lots of varying reports of price. Now for a big incomer to help lift our spirits.
Who will it be and equally important, when will it be?

Not sure on Adebayor goign to Marseilles. Having Lille, Lyon and PSG ahead of them in the pecking order, at least, means he'll likely be playing in a poorer league, challenging for a top 5 place. He may as well do that with us :)

What we have all been waiting on all summer, and what we have been told to wait on, is outgoing transfers. No incomings until we shift some players.
Well. We have sold O'Hara & Keane, released Woodgate, loaned Naughton & Caulker. Have apparent bids in for Giovani, Hutton, Crouch, Palacios.
With all this going on - I can smell a signing. I think we'll have a new first teamer lining up on Monday night at Old Trafford.

There was some talk in the press a couple of weeks ago that Villa wouln't sign anyone until they had got rid of some of their deadwood. Sounds all too likely.

The transfer window has just become one huge conveyancing chain. We need a few first time buyers to get things moving.

Or first time sellers. Gio wants to go to Seville; Seville want to buy him; we want to sell him; but, Udinese have offered us more cash. So we delay. So Udinese and Seville delay. And all the clubs that want to sell to or buy from them delay. This costs us. Does it cost more than the difference between Udinese's bid and Seville's bid? I hope Danny has a clever spreadsheet that works these things out.

We are all frustrated and want to blame someone, but come on, we have no idea who's fault it is that we haven't signed players yet. And maybe everything is going according to the plan? We don't know.
(Trying my best to stay positive here...)

Have faith. At least until 1st of september.

Now that's heavyweight ITK for you! 1 out and possibly 1 in. Maybe the ball is finally rolling? I just hope we haven't pissed off Tony Pulis & Alex McLeish too much so that we can keep some momentum going
