The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 28 August 2010

[jrio]

I still find it hard to believe that The Dildo Brothers would go back on their promise to the West Ham fans.

I also remember Scott Duxbery (is he still there?) making a statement not so long ago that they would never sell their best players to us.

It will be probably be worth the transfer fee alone just to witness the shitstorm of abuse that will be headed their way if this is really happening.

They can justify it because he seems unwilling to sign the new contract they have offered him.

Duxbury left in January and I imagine he has been replaced by Karren Brady. The Davids are likely to be more pragmatic than the previous owners, since Grant has good relations with our management and they seem to have interest in some of our players.

Got a little snippet of info via a source i trust fairly well. I don't claim to be ITK at all but i have a friend who has contacts at the club and he has been right with info before. Check my previous posts, he gave me info about us being interested in Remy before any other ITK mentioned it. Obviously the Remy bids fell through but he was still right in the respect of us being interested.

Should i just post it or does a mod want to verify the source first?

Right are you going to post it or not?

I'm dropping of to sleep. :grin:

 

[Misfit]

They're trying to out the first Emocore squad together. We need a few more like Lennon and Jenas. Get in Young and it could be emos vs hiphoppers later in the season. They just got served.

sent it to a mod, waiting to see if they want me to post it or not first.

Cheers Mate. :up:

Hopefully it doesn't involve any West Ham players.

Unless it a sneaky bid for Tomkins. Promising CB and Ledders' knee troubles aren't going away after this season.

 

[Stoof]

I've just run it by a few of the guys. I'll stay up for a bit longer, but I'm massively knackered.

 

[talkshowhost86]

I've sort of done it already. This may be a result of some post match pintage but hopefully it's all in good faith.

cheers stoof. i know it's nothing ground breaking but i thought it worthwhile posting anyway. :up:

Well, as always with ITK, take with a pinch of salt, but he's a good lad and i trust his info.

It's only a little bit of info, inkeeping with most of the other stuff from the last couple of days, but this is it anyway. It's a text btw.

"Barney (my nickname), make sure you don't pre order your shirt yet. just got wind that we're well close to sealing the deal for fab, within 24hrs hopefully."

Please be true.:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

 

[matt_da_yido]

I'm desperate for Fab to be wrapped up. Some people say he's a bit overrated, but he's better than anything we've got at the mo. Gives us different options. 4-2-3-1 seems like the best formation to go though.

Some people say we need an attacking CM, but we have that in Modric. Its just when he gets injured we need a replacement, so I don't think we need to go out and buy a top attacking CM. Is Parker forward thinking? I havn't really watched much of him so I don't know how he plays, but if he is, then a deal for him seems fine to me.

Not desperate for Diarra, but will be over the moon if we got him. Sandro sounds like he could be something special. A friend of mine has watched him play and says he's gonna be big(a matter of opinion of course, but he seemed determined he's gonna be great)

 

[matt_da_yido]

And let me just add, I think Levy is the best chairman in the Premier League (Y)

 

[ChristianBaler]

Sandro will dare I say it be the next "Gilberto Silva" seen him play numerous times on tv he is very good.

Yeah, thats not the first time I've heard him compared to Gilberto Silva.....

 

[InOffMeLeftShin]

I've seen enough of Sandro to think he will be better than Gilberto Silva. I think he has everything needed to be a top class Premiership player and I can see him being captain of Brasil one day. The problem is we have plenty of talent in the squad, but we still miss something.

I think Parker would be a very good signing, he always gives 100%, never underestimates any opposition and has been around the block a few times. He is not as talented as many other players but he would still definitely add something that we need.

 

[mil1lion]

We need a Drogba/Torres/Rooney/Tevez/Van Persie up front.

I hope Fabiano can be that man, he's certainly capable. For Sevilla he has 2x UEFA Cups, 2 x Copa del Rey, 1 x Spanish Super Cup and 1 x UEFA Super Cup. Not to mention his Copa America and Confederations Cup wins for Brazil. He's a winner.

Fabiano isn't as good as any of the above and doesn't actually offer what any of them offer.

Please explain what each of them offer and then explain in what way Fabiano is different.
