The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 20 August 2011

[Mr Pink]

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.

leave me out of it :wink:

Re Akqayid's latest:
"Will not be a spurs player by next weekend.

QPR called agent this morning, agent and clubs trying to sort. Crouch could be offered also. Blackburn is straight cash also. Although NO formal offers yet. Will be handled quickly."

Surely "Will not be a spurs player by next weekend." is not ITK? It's an opinion stated as fact, masquerading as ITK. Given that there are "NO formal offers yet" then even Bentley himself doesn't whether he is going or not. If the ITK had been posted as just
"QPR called agent this morning, agent and clubs trying to sort. Crouch could be offered also. Blackburn is straight cash also. Although NO formal offers yet. Will be handled quickly" then it would have had a completely different tone, and no one would be tempted to criticise Akqayid when the arsehole that is Bentley is still taking our dollar in a fortnight.

Mods - if you are going to be so strict about criticisms of ITK, perhaps you should be a bit more selective about what you post in the RO?

Akqayid has provided us with his source. He has provided info ("QPR called...") therefore it is in the RO thread.

If you want us to go through the ITK taking out all of the opinion then I think you are somewhat overestimating the amount of time we have.

I'm sure you are clever enough to separate the info from the opinion in that post aren't you? Good. Now let's not get into another debate about the nature of ITK as that just leads to the thread being shut down.

Re Comfortably Numb's latest. Bore off will you.
Ade,Lass and Kaka to sign I reckon.

I could be wrong but I think Akqayid has strong links directly to Bentley so he may have heard that straight from the players mouth?

 

[gilzeantheking]

TBH it doesn't bother me that it is opinion. The only bit that jumped out at me was the bit that Bentley is LIKELY to be leaving us.

THAT INMHO is very good news to wake up to. The more we are able to get rid of the more we are likely to bring in. :grin::grin:

 

[venablesphil]

Yep argee, who cares if it is fact or opinion - If its about Bentley leaving I'll ake any news. He's a big earner at the club and moving him on would be excellent plus if he did go it would suggest that we had another potential right winger about to enter the fray?

 

[ComfortablyNumb]

Well, basically I was just wrapping the phrase "when the arsehole that is Bentley is still taking our dollar in a fortnight" so that I didn't get told to take it to the Bentley thread. He'll only leave us on a free. IMO. Not ITK. Whatever.

 

[Spurs1960]

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

How bloody true!

 

[McFlash]

C'mon, let's try to be grown-ups today.
I know it gets exciting/infuriating/soul-destroying in equal measures but let's not turn this into a bickering thread again.
If someone comes out with the same old same old, can we all just ignore them and carry on as if nothing happened?

Hopefully Bents and others will be offski shortly and then Ade, KBH and our mystery super player, will be free to join.

Gavrev - love the optimism man!

 

[StartingPrice]

Adebayooooor adebayoooooooooooooor, we cant understand you slow your speach down some more.......blue done......where is yellow?

Imagine pairing him with David PleatMeister as a punditry team mg:

I concerned that nothing has happened yet, but I'll remain calm until the end of the window.............actually, aghhhhhhhhhhhhhh levy pull your finger out, Harry out, we are a joke outfit, why not just sell all our best players now and be done with etc etc.

Eek

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.

TSH in amazing I am pissed at 9AM confession revelation scoop admission confession admission revelation scoop revelation

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?"

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.

I asked this last week, and was told that we cannot as all deals need to be announced to the stock exchange (or summit). But I still have a feeling there must be a way around it, and if there is Dan Levy is just the man to find it.

It's nice to see that the many repeated requests not to post Twitter in here have such a positive effect. Warms the cockles.

Think he means Kalss Jans Hunntelar - KJH

Sorry, Kidney-Bean-Head (Diarra).

Sorry A&C. Just a question: what is the reason for not posting Twitter in this daily thread?

There is a separate twitter thread to stop all the twitter nonsense burying the ITK.

This is a thread for ITK, not for Twitter rumours....

Nope (see above) - although I wouldn't be against KJH, just not as our "super striker".

P.s. Love Chunk time for a group truffle shuffle?
