The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 24th May 2012

You're too kind, thanks I really ought to have a story as back-up for the quiet days but i'm struggling for inspiration

Don't sweat it, it'll come to you in due course. You can't be expected to keep us entertained all through the summer, can you? There's over 100 days until the window closes!

 

[Super Tottenham]

Going holiday, here's hoping someone has signed by the time I'm back in June.

Regarding the Highwayman in Dutch ITK, the M1 runs from London to Newcastle wheer it becomes the A1(M). Dutch person at Newcastle= Keeper.

It's apparently one for the future so doubt its him, but you never know.

Could be for the future as friedel only has about 2 years left as a top prem keeper.

2 years as a top prem keeper? I thought he was ok this season but nowhere near top prem class.

"only"? I should think that's quite good for a 41 year old!

 

[spurnut]

Any news from your drink with your buddy yesterday wpd

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

But it isn't "one for the future" at all. The ITK suggests we're trying for this window but if it doesn't happen, we'll be back. Maybe not this window, but a clear favourite of ours in the future.

Here is my attempt at the Dutch Highwayman ITK from Storts:

So, its an extract from the highwayman, but in dutch.

There is a town/village near Wigan called Up Holland and in their parish is a church where the grave of their famous highwayman George Lyon resides.

Lloris plays for Lyon and is only 25 and as far as keepers go, you can say, he is one for the future.

Well I suppose you could read it both ways but as your prob closer to the itkers than I am ill take your word for it.

I have been told today by a colleague that we are monitoring events with regards to Hulk at porto, can any ITK confirm this?

This is entirely correct. I'll clarify later on today, one or two have already got it spot on

Nice try, now have a guess using the actual clues given

Darn it! Erm...

FYI Storts rated my post about RVP as a winner

Only because it made me laugh a lot, don't read anything into it

That might have been a pity rating for it being the most outlandish of guesses amongst a sea of fantasy solutions

EDIT: Just seen Storts reply

Did we really bid 20m Euro????

Euros - this was DLs plan all along. Now i know why he wasn't spending before he knew the exchange rate would get better and he could save a few quid on the conversion (1.1 to the £ in July last year, nearly 1.3 to the £ today!!) - now Europe is ripe for the picking and DL can save £47.20 on the deal for the Ajax lad, £84.37 on Remy and about £90 on LD. It was worth waiting, we're not made of money!!

Yer sorry didnt explain myself very well i didnt mean a young and inexperienced keeper i just ment a keeper we could take in either now or next year and blood into the role to replace friedel.
Btw i was told last week Lloris is not a target as i have said before unless something has changed in the last week!
