The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 19th May 2015

[balalasaurus]

you want itk you say? ok! not the most exciting perhaps

jasper on so on poch being given 30 mill to spend this summer: Media bs (30m). All targets agreed from what I am aware of. Regardless if they all come in first will not determine how quick or slow the deals happen as we have to shift. Within the club staff are excited and confident by the deals themselves. Not long to wait.

Haven't heard something like this in a long, long time.

You worry too much about reps. It's the internet opinions don't matter.

Nevertheless you'll follow the rules please.

The grammar used by all these ITKs is absolutely appalling!

I'm really interested to know if any of them have the inside scoop on what Poch thinks of Pritchard.

Given his talent and the season he's just had (plus our manager's ability to bring through young talent) I would not at all be surprised to see him break into our first team next season.

So if I say you are an idiot for negative repping that's OK as it is the internet.

I disliked that last piece of ITK from Tibsy as I want them on our list. We need some quality flair players in our team

But we also need hard workers for the high press. It's why I'm surprised we didn't go harder for Rodriguez. I think perhaps we are waiting for Ayew to decide between us and Liverpool as our first choice.

I posted a while back. My mate is a friend of dean parrett. He was at his house and alex was there. Alex says he likes poch and poch rings him after nearly every game he plays.

Sounds like poch is keeping his eye on him at least.

Listen pal. This is the ITK thread. If you want to discuss grammar there's a perfectly good thread for that. It's called "What our opponents are saying about us"

But its the site rules regarding people passing on info so best you remove it. Ta

I third that, I rated by error as i thought your comment was about negging generally... show a love for the info, even if you dont like the content of said info.... The ITK's and whores are respected for what they do, dont fuck it up please.

jasper on so on poch being given 30 mill to spend this summer: Media bs (30m). All targets agreed from what I am aware of.

Do we think this means that all targets are agreed by "the committee' as in we know who we want, or does this mean we have reached agreements with all our targets or said clubs?

After a disjointed couple of years and lots of rumours and attitude problems, this sort of ITK is exciting. Good stuff. I'm almost in the fateful position of being optimistic. A bad thing for any Spurs fan...

Cheers Dovahkin

The former I would imagine.

I'm plumping for the former...

I deffo took it as the bosses have agreed on who are our targets. Under no circumstances will we ever agree on deals with all targets. Especially not before the season is over.

knowing our stunted leader, suspect it will be

"pending outgoings first, then failed price negotiations on the ones Poch wanted followed by a mad rush to the mobile at 11.55 on deadline day to sign Charlie Adam"

 

[prawnsandwich]

Danny Boy's statement:

Going forward, we have restructured the footballing side of the Club to ensure our sporting philosophy is adhered to – we need to ensure that we have a balance of experienced and home grown players, playing attacking, entertaining football our fans love to watch. Perhaps we had lost our way a little bit in this respect, so this will be our guiding principle as we embark on the summer transfer window.

We are all eager to be challenging at a higher level. Whilst the popular view may be to spend money in excess of earnings or find a philanthropic investor to fund transfers, those scenarios are simply not possible under the new world of Financial Fair Play rules whereby clubs can only spend revenues generated through operations.

Yup i thought as much, but was optimistic... We have got Wimmer in, Bids in for Schneiders according to ITK, so it could be that they are all agreed but we are far behind us knowing about it... but that was hopeful

Not ITK, but a nice stat from the bbc website:

Did you know? Only Burnley (4,297km) and Tottenham (4,219km) have covered more ground than Southampton's players in the Premier League this season. Between them, the Saints squad have run 4,181km, an average of 113km per game.

Wonder how much of that was schniederlin?

Cool mate. Thanks for posting this. Only about the 10th time this has been posted on SC since he released the statement. Can we go for 10 more?
