The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 17 May 2011

[Archibald&Crooks]

Seeing as we actually had a few bits of ITK yesterday I thought i'd do a sort of warm up round up type thing, just to clear a few cobwebs.

Yesterday began, as Monday often does, with me having a crafty barclays in the office........Then I, what? What's that you say? Oh, you wanna hear about the EyeTeeKaaaaay! Sorry

OK.....cough

Yesterday began, with Agnes, from FTL

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.

See now what doesn't sit right with me here is this. This 'department' Agnes is going on about. Surely it exists to help facilitate transfers right? In which case, considering the transfer window is closed for eight months of the year, holidays would be taken then?

Or should we believe they sit about picking their noses and flicking bogies at the signed photo of Gregor Rasziak for eight months and then fuck off on holiday when there's work to be done?

Just a thought.

Anyway, second up was Rabbi Crackers, again over on FTL

sorry cant put any meat on the bones as it will compromise who told me (and the board is read by spurs) wants to go to back up north with liverpool his preferred option.

i dont normally put stuff up like this only when i know it to be solid info.

The board is read by Spurs?

Donna get your tits out!

I don't get this 'wants to go back up north' stuff. Ever. It's a wholly unpleasant place after all. All flat caps and clogs, puncuated by the sound of brass bands and whippets farting. Each to their own I suppose.

Finally Noodles, to the tune of Three Lions by the Lightning Seeds....

He's coming home, he's coming home.....*

*I'm sorry, I love singing.......at any time, the temptation to sing The Lion Sleeps Tonight is never more than a whim away.

Beckam coming home ... can't put any meat on the bones

Can't put any fucking meat on the bones? That's what Rabbi Crackers said. Did Noodles read that, nod his appreciation and think "I'm gonna use that fucker" or is it this windows new 'Bayern in for'?

Perhaps even, it was decided to use the phrase a lot at this years ITK conference which was this year held in Baku, the capital of Azerbaijan. A report on proceedings will follow soon.

As with everything ITK.....who knows?

Finally in other news............Apparently, there have been complaints about the film 'Kick-Ass' because a twelve year old girl uses the word '****'.

Honestly, these people are so out of touch; if I want to hear a twelve year old girl say '****' I can just go to Liverpool. In fact the other day I heard an 11 year old girl say '****' on the bus.

Although to be fair her child was behaving very badly.

Time for you to make a donation to the site you ingrates. Now.

Stewart lee, though you missed the point by leaving out the bit that goes " that's the c word" .

Can't see Lennon going, tho the info re Harry watching gervinho on the front page may suggest he's looking at right wingers. Beckham can only be a good thing.

 

[rebrab]

rebrab re: indirect bit of info

Possible news for Spurs in an indirect way, Real Madrid are after Tevez in a big way... they won't be signing Adebayor unless they are certain they can't get Tevez or another. After Adebayor's quotes the other day, this could well mean Adebayor is heading to us - as long as City will sell. Nothing concrete here but thought it was worth posting. Should be an interesting summer.

 

[spurslenny]

I've got a horrible feeling that this is going to be a very underwhelming transfer window.

Come on Spurslenny, the season's not even over yet, so it's a bit early to be pessamistic, unless you are trying to use reverse psycology after years of thinking that we're gonna buy loads of good player and been disapointed!

Balague... In the last few hours it seems Spurs favourites to land Osvaldo. But fulham, at Madrid, Sevilla, everton also interested amongst many others

 

[Keano]

Also reckons city are gonna offer 30mill for the welsh monkey

 

[nicdic]

I'd take Osvaldo right now, and then try and get a couple of others in. With a name like Osvaldo we can't not buy him can we?

Is Balague ever right about anything?

 

[Keano]

Osvaldo,adebayor and RvN

If so then Osvaldo would be a number 2 signing as it were. Number 1 being uber (adebayor,drogba,a.n other) number 2 being prominent but risky (Osvaldo,gameiro, a.n other) number 3 being young protege (lukaku,wickham, a.n other)

 

[rebrab]

Osvaldo,adebayor and RvN

I posted something that could lead to that on the ITK forum, not anything physically to do with us but it possibly links in :shrug:

I'd add another category in there, Number 4 being experienced but aging. Would most likely fit in with no.2 or no.3, hopefully wouldn't be needed with no.1

what did you post ?

 

[nicdic]

Cheers rebrab, not sure it's Spurs enough to go in the SC ITK, so I'll move it into here :up:

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Have you guys got AngelKiss, LovelyGirl, SweetMia, LadyNice & KittenLove at the top of the page ? Is that their surnames, or first names do you think ?

 

[guy]

Yes spill beans pls barber

that's a fair shout, I wasn't sure :up:

all I said, basically, was that Madrid are after Tevez in a big way which could well leave the door open for us to get Adebayor
