The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 24 August 2011

[Archibald&Crooks]

Good morning ITKers. And at last it gives me great pleasure to finally be able to say those hallowed words.......

TODAY IS THE DAY*
*according to ITK

Or, to put it in traditional 'all bases covered' style pioneered by a certain reputable ITK, the exact day we make a signing will end with the word 'day'. Don't forget to big me up. You heard it here first.

I rushed to the hospital earlier...as I got there the doctor grabbed me and said "Your wifes been in an accident and has an 8 inch gash"
"I know", I said......"but how are her injuries?"

Yesterday's ITK started here on SC

Where: SC
When: 23/08/2011

I have always said Diarra was done. I Have never given a date. But been told definitely within next 24 hours.
Lots of offers on the table for Dos Santos from all over Europe. I know of at least 5 bids and am told there were even bids from South American earlier in the window.
Palacios to Stoke very close but nothing mentioned about crouch.
Bassong offers for him as well; don’t know for sure who from. But definitely bids.

I have no idea why Tottenham are waiting.
Still no offers from any team for Gary Cahill.
Samba to Tottenham was never on and WONT happen.
BUT I am also told Tottenham are worried and ARE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING buying more than one centre back. So it would be Tasci plus one other.

SO that's one deal deffo for today. See? Todays the day.

Then we had info from Special Branch

When: 23/08/11
Where: FTL
Levy flying few places...
Not in America at mo!! No idea were yet
Quote:
No medicals done yet For diarra and adeybayor. Diarra hopefully in morning

Oooh, hopefully in the morning. Todays the day..........

Finally some bad news

Sorry but I have been told that Real Madrid have put in a bid for Adebayor tonight and from what i am hearing it sound likes they will be using money that they will be recieving for Diarra. As i posted earlier today Diarra should be done by this time tomorrow.

Although the thread ended on a positive note and opinion seemed to be that he was signing for us regardless.

So remember. TODAY IS THE DAY. Terms and Conditions apply.

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,
sing a rainbow too.​

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

I'm sure todays been the day for the last forever and a day!

OO first ever first post!

Bam.

 

[bern]

oooo a squeaky clean thread, lets keep it highly polished!:grin:

 

[Spurvert]

Let's get Adebayor announced.

Medical today? Diarra signs as well?

Info on Crouch going at some point? Maybe Gio and Bentley, too?

Gary Cahill?

Worth the wait Wednesday? Or just way too early to be making sense?

Villarreal seem to want him. Little do they know that Levy is walking away with Rossi in return. Muhaha!

De Guzman is another option, probably more reliable than Guardado for health reasons.

Gio would definitely be a coup, the idiot Spurs will probably just send him on loan again though.

Taken from a Villerreal forum. Others also seem to think he would be a great signing!

Today could be a great day for Spurs fans. New signings, stadium plans, and the possibility of Arsenal going out of the Champions league.

Regarding The Journos info last night does anyone else think he got mixed info and Real was actually Inter?

Possible, but does that mean he made up the bit about diarra? We know journalists are good at - how shall I put it - embellishing stories.

Or the Mirror got it wrong.

 

[bern]

Wish we could narrow down the REAL ITK`s. Filter out all the crap but then again we wouldnt enjoy ourselves as much would we?

 

[$hoguN]

Really looking forward to getting some signings now

 

[razza]

well arsenal now have 60 million plus to spend, surely wengers is going to spend some now. I imagine there is going to be an amazing few days trading ahead, as Harry is also demanding a big name to lift the team..

Well if the info did relate to Inter the money would relate to Eto'o's sale yesterday. I guess with the journo he's hinted that he has more than one source so it could just be that whoever gave him this story told him some slightly off info.

 

[Spurvert]

Anyone know what time medicals are generally done if a deal is agreed the night before?

 

[mattyspurs]

So what did I actually miss last night. I went to bed early as I was shattered and this place was on about 28 pages. Look in this morning and everyone seems to be on a high and the page count had gone up by another 20 pages!!

Yet I look in at the RO section and thiere is nothing in it other than the Journos info which I saw before I went to bed.

I'm confused. Which for anyone who knows me, knows that isn' difficult anyway.

 

[degoose]

I can see three signings before the close of the window . Adebayor , diarra and Joe cole .

I'm sure he said his info isn't always from a Spurs source.

I'm still surprised that there has been no mention of Diarra leaving from the Real end have we asked them to be silent on it? if so it surely must be a good relationship for them to agree.

There was a flood of itk and twitter posts that Adebayor was complete pending a medical, which he is due to have this morning before we announced it. Rumour is that Inter inquired about him and we took that as a sign to hurry up. (This included a pic of BAE and Adebayor)

Also l'equipe tweeted that we agreed a deal for El- Hadji Ba (apparently he is a DM from Le Harve) and he would be having, a Medical on Thursday, with most shocking news being we have agreed a compensation package with the government to drop the legal challenge to the OS.

You missed a picture of Adebayor out with BAE. It's in the Adebayor thread.

Also hints that our stadium plans have been accepted.

 

[guy]
