Right, we're up and running for the Summer 2011 Transfer Window!​

Remember the golden rule, do not abuse ITK. At all.​

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, we won't be giving warnings, if you abuse ITK you'll suddenly find that you cannot see or access the Transfer & ITK Forums.​

There is much banter and fun to be had within and we won't allow that to be spoiled by abuse and bickering so please, bear this in mind before posting.​

A&C's DAILY ROUND-UP
Do you think i'm mad? The transfer window closes in approx 110 days time and i'm not getting up early to do a round-up for all of them! There will be the odd round-up when enough has happened to warrant it, increasing in frequency as the climax or money shot of the last day approaches​

WHATS NEW A&C?
Not much actually :lol: We've a sub-forum off of the SC Read Only Forum which we've called 'The Log' (I'll leave it to your imaginations as to why), this will contain a record of each ITK's info. Other than that we've kept it simple because we love you. ITK, Player Threads and the Daily ITK Discussion thread.​

WHAT CAN WE TALK ABOUT IN THE DAILY DISCUSSION THREAD?
The ITK of course! We accept that sometimes conversation will start with some ITK and end up about some dolly bird with a radish up her bum and that's fine. Having said that, don't spam the arse out of it.​

There are also player threads, so why not make an effort to use them? A quiet day for ITK will often be reflected in the fact that this thread is also quiet.​

I THINK I'M GOING TO HAVE A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN
Spurs Community accepts no responsibility for your mental health. However, as a courtesy, we do provide free counselling, which can be obtained from SC's official Padre, nicdic. Just send him a PM with your problems, which he will then try and resolve for you after CC-ing us all in on them for a good laugh.​

MAN, I LOVE THIS SITE!
Yeah, we hear that a lot. But to be honest, as nice as the compliments are, they aren't as nice as the odd donation toward the running of the site. A lot of time and love is put into SC, more so during Transfer Windows and your donations really do make a difference! So please, got any spare change guv?​

Dear Ole'Bacon face

Keep your stinkin' mitts off Modric or I'll rape a sheep in your office and claim you did it.

Regards,

Welshie.

Hey,

I spoke to somebody at the club involved in transfers last night. I asked him what he expected, he has been told to be ready nice and early and that no staff in his department are to take days off/holiday until they are given the go ahead. As he works at the training ground he has been told (not sure by whom) to expect one big signing, which will act as a statement to the fans and the players. He has been told only to expect the rubbish to leave and that late nights are very possible early on in the window. The budget has been increased to allow him one more member of staff to get involved with hospitality which is basically "welcome to the country/area" so we could see quite a few in.

He has worked there for ages and seems surprised by these "changes".

Anyway, nothing to piss yourself with excitement but positive if it happens.

Surely oo positive to be true, those ITK's can't please people even when they try to can they? :lol:

Anyone else think our first signing will be another midfielder? (Parker)

Yeah I think Parker will be the first signing now that WHU have been relegated. I can see rival fans thinking we are stupid for signing him as well due to having so many midfielders already as it is.

Parker is all but done from what others have said, and for one am inclined to believe it

I just hope signing Parker does not lead to Sandro's development being hindered

Parker in is okay...

I'd rather lose both Jenas and O'Hara over Wilson to accomodate him though.

The somewhat scary part is Levy holding out for too much money for sales (if true). If past rumours are true, that will undoubtedly hold up any potential incomings and we may well end up with another window where everything gets left too late!

Our advantage is that there are several interested parties in each of Jenas, Palacios and O'Hara, so hopefully we have enough to get rid of those three... our strikers I'm not so sure but I think Crouch and Pav should be fairly easy to flog for a decent price, RK maybe not so much so...

Does anyone have info regarding players coming to the end of their contracts?

Not ITK but I think Gallas is getting another year but Woodgate isn't. Dos Santos can't have long left surely? Woodgate has got to save us £60-70k a week.

Others... Cudicini? O'Hara? Jenas? Bentley? Corluka? Hutton?

I think we have to offer Keaneout for free. Just to free up his wages. maybe even the same with Bentley if he's going. We certainly arent going to recoup what we paid for either of these two. Have to take the hit on them.

We can only hope that Levy compromises a bit, in a sense. 10m for Bentley? Having a laugh there Im afraid, if someone pays that they are a mug.

My concern is that we line up the big money signing only to have it delayed until the sales are complete and we miss out again...
