The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 16 August 2011

[Scutch]

Christian Eriksen. He was born Christian.

Right?

Meh.

 

[nailsy]

This. Why are we talking about Christians?

He said Falcao and Kaka were Christians (for whatever reason) then in a separate post said someone needs to make their mind up.

Unconnected n'est pas?

Also as A&C says someone making their mind up doesn't mean 'imminent signing' so let's all keep our wangers in our wanger-holders for now.

This is what he said " 'Tomorrow is the 16th August. I expect a signing by then. Someone has to make up his mind!
Night all - COYS"

I'm surprised no-one put it in the RO. Do you want me to add it in there now?

Meh.

Enough, already, otherwise next stop is going to be Peachbottom himself.

I can't help thinking that the Keane sale will be a great help to DL. Wages are a clear problem for us but two big earners in Woodgate and Keane are now gone. Harry says he needs two to three to make us a team that can challenge the big boys. I am quietly confident that we will have two, possibly three quality players signed by the end of the window.

DL may well be keeping things quiet because he still needs to offload a few but any signings we make weakens his position when selling as other teams will know he is desperate to sell.

I thought the Christian message was something like a rich man's chance of getting to heaven is like trying to get a camel through the eye of needle?

Perhaps we should offer them less money?

Didn't one of the ITK's yesterday mention something about a player we haven't been linked with this window - \i cannot remember any mention of this one

Why are people worried about players' religions all of a sudden?

Simlpe:
A certain ITK has very conspicuously posted several times this Summer (in caps): BLESSINGS.
The suggestion is that we are interested in someone who is very conspicuously religious.
Hence the discussion of players like Kaka and Falcao. For instance, it has emerged that Kaka's Mum has said something about being in London on some kinda prayer-thang, leading to speculation that Kaka might be signing.
It is current. It is ITK.
Did you miss it?

Can any of the mods tell me why my post has been removed?
Is there forum rules with posting links etc?

 

[Triggerni]

Apologies,have just noticed its been moved to his thread

It's just simply not ITK discussion.

The post was probably deleted as it contained a media link. This is the ITK discussion thread, and posting media links tends to send conversations within this thread off on tangents leading to us actually missing any itk that has been posted.

 

[SpurSince57]

If you find a media link to a player (preferably from a 'reputable' news outlet—yes, I know—rather than Caughtoffside, etc.) start a thread with it. Putting it in here just clogs things up.

 

[Triggerni]

Ok, thanks all

Nothing groundbreaking but smokeydyid on SO this morning:

Deals in pipeline
But won't complete deals until we sell or loan some more players first. Nothing to do with money, we have money to buy players. The reason is because we have 29 players in squad they need to fit into 25 man squad rule, if we buy say 2 more that means 6 players will be wasting. This is from someone within the club I won't reveal who so don't ask. I did not get any names but they did say levy and Redknapp are very ambitious and trying for big players.

I think the point Talkie was making was that we have already established who the two Christians are. They were revealed. To then have pages more drivel about other players who might be Christian is the sort of thing that people got their access removed for yesterday, ie NOT ITK.

That's easy to work out. Who has control of the company abacus today? Maurice the Accountant?

DL: Right then, Maurice. Yesterday morning we had thirty coloured beads, one for each player.
MtA: Yes, Mr Levy.
DL: And yesterday, we sold a player.
MtA: Ooooh.
DL: Precisely. So you know what that means...
MtA: I get to move a bead to the other side!
DL: That's right, Maurice.
MtA: Yesss!
*moves bead
DL: Now, how many players do we have left.
MtA: Well, that's twenty-nine beads, Mr Levy...
DL: Which means we have...
MtA: Twenty-nine players, your highness!
DL: Good boy, Maurice. Have a Malteser.
...now, only five more to go and we can start sliding the beads back the other way.

Reason #731 that our transfer deals take so fucking long.

Our transfer deals take so long as Levy is using them to teach maths to a guy called Maurice?? Eek

Nothing groundbreaking but smokeydyid on SO this morning:

Our squad:

GKs: Friedel, Gomes, Cudicini, Button
DFs: Hutton, Kaboul, Gallas, Bassong, Dawson, Corluka, King, Ekotto
MFs: Bale, Huddlestone, Lennon, Jenas, van der Vaart, Palacios, Modric, Kranjcar, Sandro, Bentley, Pienaar
FWs: Pavlyuchenko, Crouch, Defoe, dos Santos
U21s: Walker, Townsend, Livermore, Rose

Bolded the ones that I expect us to get rid of the quickest.

Basically, it's another week or so until we can expect people?

This frustrates me, we have the 25 player rule and the soon to be fair play rule, yet teams are still restricted as to when they can do their buying and selling. I just don't see the sense in it.
