Good morning ITK freaks, isn't it nice now that silly season is back? One somehow feels whole again. Unless of course your name is Oddie, in which case its just 'hole'.​
We actually have some ITK to bring you, which is always nice but first up strange news that 20,000 Manchester City kits were sold on eBay yesterday on the same day that 20,000 Chelsea kits were listed for sale.​
TV Psychic Derek Acorah "Spirits told me Maddie is dead" - I'm guessing Bells and Gordons.​
Righty-Ho, on with the EyeTeeKay
First up was Pottle with 'lots of things'​
POTL said:
RE: Remy Harry loves him, wants to make it happen. Harry has personally watched him twice this season and we have sent IB on numerous occassions. We are after 2 strikers this summer, Ade's wages are a real issue, not the fee. Decisions to be made after our fate is known on Saturday.

RE: Vertonghen Has now visited the new training ground complex as well.Talks progressing, in pole position now

RE: Bassong wanting talks:He's leaving
Yeah Lewis Hamilton was in Pole Position last weekend too and look at what happened to him. Nice to see we're in for Remy though.
Then Jasper, on Hazard and more​
Jasper said:
Hazard + more

As how I understand he was genuinely interested in us, our time was January, but with all the delays (both sides), and dramatic drop in form and then citeh started to sniff we became a very distant thought. I know we are supposedly close on similar players, and one young 20 year old Croatian among others that we are allegedly confident we can tie up deals so I am more happy with that. We have expressed interest in Johnson I believe btw, maybe Archie can clear this up and more.
Which led to the inevitable debate about which Johnson, the smart money being on Adam. Although with Harry's penchant for older type players, striker David Johnson who played for Liverpool in the 80's hasn't been ruled out........
Finally, this morning The Goat spoke, regarding hazard​
The Goat said:
Hazard will be going to City and they have offered ridiculous amounts of money.
Hard to compete with that.
So that's that then. We move on to other targets. Personally i'd like to see us sign Adam Johnson (See Jasper above)
And finally...............I've finally managed to get Angry Birds on my iPhone. I guess its my own fault for mixing up texts between my wife and my girlfriend.​
Do you love SC? Imagine a world without it. Yeah, that's right, it isn't a pleasant thought. You'd actually have to do some work then wouldn't you? So come on, it doesn't take more than a minute. All donations are gratefully received, thank you for your support!​

Ah but the spirits told me I was God's gift to women. The missus corrected me the next morning and asked me to please not play around with her sister!

Thanks for the round up A&C.

So Remy is classed as a striker? I believe he is more of a right or left forward deployed in a 4-5-1-cum-4-3-3?

Would be a more clinical replacement for Azza.

Who would be our striker then if not Adebayor? I mean our 25 goal a season man?

Hard to see how we can afford the wages of a 25 goal a season man. We have to take a risk on an up and comer if we can't get Ade.

Hmmm... According to his goals ratio, Cisse at Newcastle is a 25 goals a season man. Suarez has the capability too, but plays in a shit team. Both of these players we could have afforded. Surely its about proper scouting?

Not sure Suarez is, he's highly rated because he does more than just scoring but his shooting isn't that great. Cisse looks the business I agree. We can't know whether our scouts are doing there job properly or whether we just aren't taking the risks when it comes to signing them. One thing is for sure we have to buy at least 1 striker this summer so Levy will have to loosen the purse strings.

Whoever rated my post bad spelling can fuck right off. If you think i'm spell checking these rounds ups that are full of quoted posts, not to mention the odd error I might make, you can kiss my arse. Fucking anal cocknocker. I mean that most politely, of course.

I'm pretty sure cock-knocker has a hyphen in it.

You do know you can click on "list" and it'll tell you...

I don't recognise the name, so am unable to confirm your cock-knocker theory...;)

On the ITK side, Vertonghen and Remy would deal with a couple of key areas (although I'm still not 100% sure where we'd play Remy). Not surprised re: Bassong. Would be good to get some ITK on the probable outgoings such as Seb, Corluka, Bentley, Dos Santos, Kranjcar, Defoe, Jenas etc. We can't really afford to hold on to that lot for another window.

Oh, and can I make a really early request for no cryptic shit?

If you can't tell us who, just say so, we can take it, and we will guess anyway. I can't face another summer of the Blue & Yellow debacle.

You can request it, but we can't make any promises. If POTL comes out with a cryptic all we can do is report it. What I can tell you however is that The Goat undertakes not to post anything so cryptic that it could mean anything. For example, we'd keep any cryptic on a basic level so that most of SC could understand it. if The Goat wanted to say we're signing Messi, he'd say something like "We're signing Messi' and let you figure it out, if you can ;)
