The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 18th July

[SpartanSpur]

Just been thinking about the rebrab ITK about building to a crescendo.

A lot of papers ran with this contract being done around the end of June. Could it possibly have been held back to make a steady stream of announcements in preseason? That would fit in with the ITK.

Of course it's probably just because he's now back from holiday...

 

[Ron Burgundy]

SERIOUSLY.....was that it?

I think we were all expecting a massive triple signing of world class players - I was genuinely stunned when it actually just turned out to be a (albeit positive) simple contract extension. Very unlike our beloved club....

That's the way I was thinking...

Unusual for @igijedi to make an appearance over a common knowledge contract extension, isn't it?

Crosses fingers...

(P.S. Hoping this didn't come across as negative - just intrigued)

 

[mark87]

Thanks Igi...

Now, back to Italy...

Is that where Igi is from?

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Those saying the announcement is underwhelming/anti-climax - you've got a lot to learn. We were NEVER going to announce some big money signing out of the blue. No team in the world can do that - news and rumours about transfers travel to quickly these days for anything to be completed undercover.

****ing 'ell! He's not even Italian!

 

[Gedson100]

Club has done this before. Notice how they got all the outs done last week to clear house, and now we start on some good news. Anything else they have stashed will filter out in the next few days I bet.

I was going to make a fantastic "Tripoli" joke then realised that's in Libya

 

[spursfan77]

Well that was a somewhat anticlimax

At least we know Igi is still massively on the ball with any news. He comments then its worth listening

 

[gerishep]

I was happy today, I'm still happy. Did my expectation levels go up at any point...yep, did they come back down again....yep. Have we signed anyone....nope. Steady as you go.

 

[thebenjamin]

Could Rebrab's new contract steer have been about Trippier, not Toby?

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

Yep but at leaf we know Igi is still massively on the ball with any news. He comments then its worth listening

We already knew that.

 

[gerishep]

I've changed my mind, I'm pissed off, I wanted a signing and I'm pissed off.

 

[spursfan77]

We already knew that.

of course. What I meant was that theres no point getting excited about any breaking news regarding bringing people in because he may well tell us before a deal is complete....if we are lucky and he chooses to naturally.

 

[danielneeds]

I've worked it out, JJ was referring to Cogan and Brydon's latest comedy romp - The Trip To Italy...

You didn't want to do something around "trippa", which is Italian for tripe?

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

We're very lucky that igijedi chooses to share any information at all with us and sometimes its a new contract/kit or whatever, other times its exotic and a new signing. We take what we get and we're grateful for it.

So these expressions of disappointment aren't appreciated, i've warned this thread before about this shit and i've said more than once that it wont be tolerated. I can all too easily imagine that when you share something and you see these kind of posts, that you think to yourself why do I bother.

So when you lose your access for this, be clear, there's no coming back at all, its your responsibility to tow the SC line on this issue and there's nobody to blame but yourself should you fall foul.

Igi rocks! No one has any problem whatsoever with Igi's information!

I bet Igi's Italian!

 

[eddiev14]

I, for one, welcome our new ITK overlord.

All hail @igijedi

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Happy for the lad, but why did they make Trippier sign the contract standing up?

New Poch pose?
