The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 21st August 2015

Via coys. Not sure if he'd want his info in the read only would he?

From Paul of SO

"Ok, don't shoot the messenger.

Berahinho is almost certainly at the "done deal" stage. yesterday spurs apparently got all anxious on WBA and wanted the deal done so he could be announced today and available for tomorrow. That scares me and smacks of an issue with Harry, BUT my info is at WBA not spurs so that is purely speculative.

However Fazio stayed in Birmingham last night add held talks with WBA, medical this morning assuming talks went well. Could well see it announced today. WBA want the deals done separate as they want fans to know they got a big price for Saido.

If it doesn't happen today. Then Tuesday should be the day."

Just to clarify, what Paul actually posted was:

My contact on the spurs-list (whose information comes from The Hawthorns) says:-

"Ok, don't shoot the messenger...

I swear by the spunk stained trollies of the seven blind bastards that if this carries on the bans won't be short ones.

You rang? What did you wa... oh my mistake, carry on.

What does Spurs-list mean, is that a forum?

Yeah, a Spurs chat forum. It's been around almost as long as the internet.

 

[HappySpur]

My mate still uses that list. It's an e-mail chain run by Paul over at S.O. I believe it was in place before any of the four big sites got their start. I used to be on it myself but found it hard to follow. But it's still used by quite a number of people and so, effectively it's like a forum.

And I think the way to read that, by @razor1981 being kind enough to clarify, is that the information came from a Yid, who has connections within the WBA setup. Still, since it hasn't happened, keep applying the salt. Because this is still a friend of a friend level tidbit (even though it involves a respected ITK)

Every time I scroll through this thread on my phone my thumb hits the fecking Uber link!!!

Re Paul's ITK. So many of you are missing the key point about it being from the WBA side. The key opinion is that it's DiONE

Dublin?

Agree Uber is seriously annoying. If this is from 'the hawthorns' it would seem so!

Anyone else confused as to why it'll be announced on Tuesday? How do you go from today OR Tuesday?

They play Sunday, so no business is getting done until Monday, and it usually takes a day to finish the deal, and then they'd get him into the training center for photos on Tuesday. That's my guess.

But, funny enough, someone on some forum did an analysis of when we announce transfers and it's almost never on Tuesday. So expect Wednesday.

 

[Spoondog]

Monday? Tuesday? Happy Days. Does it make any difference?

Chunky (old school itk) on COYS about Beahinio:

Don't know if it's been posted but supposedly he was at the training ground today

But lots of arguments between Spurs and WBA. Can't get to an agreement.

Awesome! Chunky ITK, love it! Him and Peanut are legit, for real.

 

[PT]

Just a thought or two but as it's Friday, wouldn't WBA squad be in training ground fine tuning for the weekend match?
Also if an agreement is hard to come by, then wouldn't WBA prohibit player visits to prospective clubs?

Just my thoughts.

We need a Marca esque paper here. All this is telling me

So old school I don't know him! And I've been researching all the old school ITKs. Going to night school to get a degree in ITK History.

Would someone humor me and give me a Chunky ITK summary?

 

[KILLA_SIN]

I wonder if Berahino will soon start playing up to get the move done

Ban yourself for ITK bashing!

My interpretation of this tidbit is that the transfer is done in principle and the arguments are the final little niggles ('though the niggles could, theoretically, scupper the whole thing...) So, actually, I don't know if this is good news or bad news. I'm gonna say good because the weather nice today and it's Friday and why not.

If the ITK is true, Berahino will find it hard going back to WBA after seeing our training ground compared to theirs. It's safe to say we're a bigger club which means his head would be turned anyway but actually going there and seeing it - then having to drive back to Birmingham... #pray4berahino

It's swayed a few players to come to us
