Good morning ITKers.

Here's the first of your weekend ITK Discussion Threads.

Use it wisely or it might get locked.

And now for a message from a certain ITK

A certain ITK would like to see you make a donation to help keep Spurs Community running. He said.....

Red and yellow and pink and green
Purple and orange and blue
I can sing a rainbow,
sing a rainbow,

A CERTAIN ITK SAYS HAVE YOU DONATED YET? WELL HAVE YOU?
EVERY LITTLE HELPS!

BLUE & YELLOW WATCH

When players start talking in name regarding potential incomings - well they must be very close to signing.

Not until it's on the official site. Just keep repeating that mantra and then you can only get so disappointed.

Just seen Akqayids info about Bentley. Fingers crossed he gets a permanent move. He needs it, and our accountant certainly needs it.

Thats what I think - its regarding outgoings, we want them to hold value before announcing any deals coming in. Palacios and Pav/Crouch to be on there way shortly I would imagine.

Indeed, but I believe there done...its about outgoings.

Like I said it's not done until its announced. We don't know if contracts have been signed, players registered etc until it's on the site and until contracts have been signed and players have been registered things can fall through (see the initial Corluka deal as an example).

But the ITK regarding Bentley is encouraging. He's the next big wage we need off our books.

Was told today by a top source at Spurs that Modric will go too. If that is the case, if that happens... wow!!

As you're new I'll let that slide :wink: (because I'm generous like that) but all twitter stuff should go in the twitter thread.

I know this, hence the word 'believe', its my prerogative :grin:

Sorry, didn't realise there was a twitter thread :( I shall consider myself reprimanded then

Not reprimanded...just informed :grin:

There's a few threads at the top of the forum explaining how it all works in here. Have a quick look through and I think it should make it all clear.

Welcome to the infuriating and intoxicating world of ITK by the way.

I think you are probably on the money Mr P.
Do we HAVE to announce a deal as soon as it's done? or can the announcement be delayed to suit our own agenda?

At the moment I feel like a kid in the back of a car who keeps repeating "Are we there yet?"

TSH - Do the ITK threads actually come with a health warning?

Not yet. But the World Health Organisation have been onto us and I think for the next window we may need something along the lines of:

WARNING: ITK MAY DRAMATICALLY SHORTEN YOUR LIFE

With a picture of Mr Pink smashing his face with a hammer underneath.

and being told 5 more mins repeatedly :razz:

Yes we can announce to suit our own agenda. All about manipulating our own selling prices.

Unless of course deals are done and the SE have to be informed, not sure how things can be delayed then as such.
