The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 25 July 2011

You'd think that Spurs the team worst for your health (there was a study a year or two ago) would give us a break from stress with a nice pleasing relaxing transfer window.

BUT NO!

If we dont sign anyone this week ill going to assume that we will lose our first game to Everton even though we had all the possesion but couldnt take any chances.

We do it to ourselves every window, by reading/believing/hoping the itk/rumours, but I wouldn't have it any other way

Rossi is pie in the sky. The lad is coming into his prime...Barca were interested,Juve wanted him,and his current team are in the champions league..Why the fuck would he come to us?!!. wake up and smell the fucking cOffee!

Signing KJH and Farfan for 45 mill is so comical, its never going to happen especially at that price. This Journo guy is on a massive wind up, he must be loving the press he is getting on here. He is saying we have no interest in two players who we tried to sign in Jan (Rossi / Adebayor) so it rubbish that we have no interest in those two as I doubt much has changed in 6 months.

Just a couple of things, Bill Oddie has already cover the comment, re 45 mill,

But also the Journo did NOT say "we have no interest, or have had no interest" all he said, was his contact has said we wont sign Rossi & Ade.

Just 1 possible scenario would be, We wanted Ade on loan, City do not want to loan..after trying, we have moved on to...someone else.

And Rossi, could be just we wanted him, the club would sell to us, but Rossi doesn't want it. ..after trying, we moved on to... someone else.

Whilst this goes against other itk, who post that we are still "trying" for....It does also support some other itk, who have posted that it is NO to Rossi and Ade.

There are alot of "itk" poster, with a large varied "reliability", The more senior / validated / respected etc, would be the 1st to agree that "they are not always right" are not omnipotent in all things related to Spurs transfers.

I think its perhaps worth thinking that the better itks, get a piece of the jigsaw puzzle, not the whole puzzle.

So when 1 itk is saying "we are in for Rossie" and another saying "we will not sign Rossi" Both of these pieces of information can be correct in a given time frame, Plus dependent on source.(eg) Journo sources are Roma connected, SC itk sources Spurs connected.

Also these "itk sources" will have opinion themselves, So some of the itk given could well be sources opinion based on some knowledge known.

Chrissivad i notice you have locked the Huntelaar thread with the comment

Can be re opened when there is a recant report linking us to him

So is the Journo post, posted circa 24th, and reiterated later.

Huntelaar and Farfan have both been identified by Tottenham as targets

Deemed not itk, or no longer valid? or another reason?
