well they got us in top 4 well defoe and crouch did mostly but we missed out last year. but crouch and defoe did improve us from where we were at end of 2008. crouch is not woeful, uselful option to have. we need striker either way no matter who is in charge. and levy has the wedge to do that not harry.

Butit's a bit contradictory to point to them as a success to support Harry yet point to their inadequacies as a stick to beat Levy with.

levy to me has stumbled into things, has yet to release sufficent funds to really make us challenge. we seem to sell peter to buy paul. and in the main have done that for donkeys years. but we dont have a team like we have now and with some serious investment in couple of positions we can be even better. from previous years i remain very very cynical of fact that levy is so unwilling to do it.we all talke very window about this player and that and end up with the next tier down if we are lucky. if he doesnt without doubt we will be selling bale and modric and sandro next summer imo. thats my main concern so going out and putting in poxy bids in the best interest of spurs this summer does not make sense in my eyes. a top double striker signing and and midfielder will go long way imo. but will he push boa out a bit to do it?

Just to clarify incase anyone is still unsure, POTL replied to a post saying Forlan and Eto'o were at Spurs lodge. He dismissed this with the ITK post and a no way smiley. He didn't create his own thread, merely replied to existing thread.

POTL, Peanut, Roger Morgan and Archibald are probably the most noted on other sites but our own Goat, Rebrab, Ryan, Valencia Yid and Storts are just as good. Mystery, Brownhead and Opensaysme hae recently started posting ITK and seem quite good also.

I wonder how many have the same source. For instance when we hear ITK's backing up other ITK's it adds to the believability but it may just be the same source!

I won't critise anyone posting ITk stuff but I have finally decided not to believe any of it as I've simply run out of salt

I don't want to carry this on much further due to going a fair way off topic here, but the final thing I have to say on the topic is that I believe Levy is willing to spend as much as is financially viable. I doubt very much he is being stingy just for the sake of it and I'm sure he would love nothing more than to go out and spend a fortune signing us a World Class striker, but it isn't that simple.

Some people see the merit in this approach whilst others don't, I believe those who don't are turning a blind eye to the long term stability of the club though.

Must admit, ITk seems to have got worse over the years.

Deliberate ploy by club maybe?

Good, sooner that goes through the sooner we can stop worrying about signing him.

I just can't see why the club would care tbh, the theory is that it could cause a deal to break down if other parties got wind of it, but in an age where players have multiple agents tasked with gtting them as much dough as possible I doubt other clubs would need to get their info from internet forums.

"The owner would like me in all honesty to go and spend his money and buy somebody who could make the difference. But I don't know where that player is. I know where they are but they're not for sale - we can't go and buy the people that you'd put your life on."

Yep it's Levy the tight bugger saying that.....

Believe me if the club wanted the football world to know something, the club will leak straight to mainstream media....

ITKs are 99% fun and games. You could figure that out from the amount of ITKs actually concluding in a transfer.

If someone is having a medical, especially a major player, the mainstream media will know before the ITKs.

It may be hard for some to believe but the media/journos have more contacts with clubs, agents and players than the so called ITKS.

IMO, peanut is the best ITK around. POTL definitely has links to the club too though.
Potl actually works at the club does he not?
He is the only itk I actually believe.
Didn't he post a picture of the changing room before a big
match once? Can't get much more itk than that.
