The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 27th July 2015

[yankspurs]

Might have an opportunity to chat with some of the players tomorrow in Denver, what should I ask about? Aside from the obvious Berahino/Bolasie links

Highly doubt they'll have anything to say or even care too much about the media links, to be honest.

With the current pound to euro exchange rate we should be confident of getting Kramer and/or Werner if they want to sign for us. €25-30m for Kramer = approx £17-22m. Less than we would probably have to pay for JM and a bargain in comparison in terms of the gulf in quality between the two. We need to act ASAP whilst the euro is still circa €1.40 to the pound.

It's a bit embarrassing/bit of a shame really that one of the more well-known ITK's has such cringeworthy opinions of players, fellow fans, and uses phrases like 'End of!'.

Bolasie is a joke of a footballer, and to declare that not only is he better than what we've got, but also that if you don't agree you've 'got no football knowledge' is the kind of shitty knuckle-dragger opinion you hear down the pub.

I'm sure the powers that be have their reasons but knowing who Gards is and who his links are, I'm surprised that he is taken that seriously or at least it's not explained why his ITK might be VERY biased / put out with an agenda

JJ (again) on Bolasie:

Different types of player, I'm not overly on berahino either but he can stick the ball in the net, whereas Sane or Werner are more likely to create the space or the pass. At least we know berahino can score in this league, but I do hear you.

Ah yes the old I'm more important than you post! Message board egos eh and the power of self importance!

Ok, I now officially have no idea what you're on about, but since this is the ITK Discussion thread and not the therapy thread, I'll concede that you're definitely right about whatever it is I've done wrong, I and my family apologise, now let's leave it at that and get back to discussing the ITK, shall we?

I deleted it because I'm still not 100% convinced it's him lol and there isn't much useful info.

Dont know if this counts but theres a guy from r/coys (reddit) whos apparently sitting next to DL (he provides pictures) Apparently DL is talking about loaning Yedlin to Lyon(?) and theres plans to sell Fazio.

(pinch of salt and all that)
Just realised links aren't allowed, sorry A&C

Thanks for the heads up Metal Face. Google /r/coys and reddit and you will easily find the thread. Until the picture is posted permanenty this one is interesting but hard to call. Definitely has a picture with Comolli and Zokora potential.

A few things. The picture went up and down so quickly it's hard to take seriously. Especially in light on the focus by posters on the watch. And so we are left with the impression of a bald englishman talking Spurs. That's not especially hard to find.

And some of the language doesn't seem Levy-esque. Levy is pretty much R.P. and this seemed to be edging towards a regional dialect. But that only comes from the words he types so hard to evaluate.

But I do think this kid is legit. He may just be naive or he may have gotten to overhear some things by Levy. Either way, he's not lying but rather at worst blinded by the rare combination of shaved and english accent. And we all know how rare it is to find a shaved Englishman. It's like finding an STD on a prostitute.

My final point is that somebody brought up how much they wanted Reddit to beat SC in the ITK game. That's a red flag. SC got to where we are by aggregating data. Then the ITK's followed. Then they left and now they are trickling back in. But we are still mostly about aggregation. And they want to take us down with what is essentially OlderYid taking his kid to a Munich hotel. No.....that's COYS, not us.

Anybody can do what we do. In fact, Twitter is supposed to do it and Rob, A&C, some mods and Dovahkiin have fucking crushed Twitter on this. A multi-national beaten by the "brains", a dildo wielding psychopath, the king of whores, the history obsessed nerd (SS57 typically but we are sorting out his long term successor) and a quad of Casey Afflecks. It's a heist movie and they totally have taken the Belagio for it's vault. So take a bow.

HAPPY with recent ITK news!

Seems like something is imminent in next 24-48 hours, be it transfers in or out!

@gar, What specifically is SPAM about a person talking about ITK on the ITK thread?

I haven't seen you abusing the spam rating, but there are a few trollls that are. And they seem to be trying to ruin this site with incessant negativity, ratings abuse and being miserable. If you guys don't like it, then leave. You won't be missed. The reason everybody comes here........it's fucking fun. The ITK is primary, but having a laugh is a close second. Note the way A&C starts the thread daily. And the reason this thread has sucked so bad this year is because all the trolls trying to make it an RO. You won't win. We've seen off many of these threats over the years. So stop being petulant children and start enjoying the thread. Humor is valued. Tactics, Finances and other transfers aren't. So everybody start being funny again. We need @Misfit and @Sum Monsterism to return to relieve Stoof and Spurger from being the holdouts to people with a sense of humor.
