The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 28 June 2011

[Archibald&Crooks]

Well, what a day we had. A day that started quietly and ended with Blue and bastard Yellow again :roll:

It didn't help things that we had a heatwave yesterday and it looks like its gonna be just the same today, it's so hot outside....I'm sweating like Ryan Giggs on Family Fortunes

OK we start the round-up with The Goat

When: 27/06/11
Where: SC
Word reaches The Goat that Lennon could be on his way, that's already been reported but IF that happens our previous interest in Downing would be rekindled

People kind of missed the point with this one........

Because a short while later.......

Date 27th June
Time 11:20pm
Site COYS
Some of the 'info' is absolutely ridiculous. You can't make stuff up and then post it. That is not right.
Player is in negotiations regarding a new deal-not in talks to move to Liverpool.
Some of the info I see being provided at the moment is doing more damage than good.

Who said he was in talks with Liverpool? Not the Goat. In fact, The Goat never said he was in talks with anyone.

But the best one was him saying you can't make stuff up and then post it. Except when it suits you eh? Blue and Yellow............Blue and fucking Yellow..........

Then, and i'm not sure wether this was actually Roger Morgan or the Daily Mail........Regarding Cahill

When: 27/06/11
Where: SO
We've offered a job lot in exchange, keane, jenas plus 2 others apparently

Finally, late last night, The Goat from his top source......

Blue and Yellow. Three words. Lots of attention paid to the word "blue" and lots to the word "yellow" but how about the other word? A good source suspects there could be a pair of signings to welcome, hence the cryptic we've been racking our brains with.

Again the information could identify our source (really, we're not making this up as an excuse!) and I'm pleased it's been shared at all, so apologies again for the need for encrypting it. Still, you've been complaining about being bored.

There are four names I've been told. Two we know about.

One shares his identity with the home of the Swans. The second has been raised by a cretin. The third learned his trade in what sounds like Ms Spears' country. And lastly: Gio's brother? No.

All are being looked at very strongly and I believe we would like to bring in two of them, although even we might not know which two.

In addition to this quartet there's the son of a Hackney hairdresser that we feel could do a job.

And, in apology for all the cryptics above, here's a straight one. If the money's right, Arry's Appy for Azza to go.

Fucking cryptics :roll: Apologies and all that, out of my hands.

This resulted, as it usually does with squillions of solutions

We're signing Kaka.

No, we're not!

We're signing Kaka.

Seriously, no, we're not.

Woohoo! :dance: Kaka! (then posts a formation)

Just. Fuck. Off.

So, just to be clear, there is no Kaka.

In other news:
My mate just asked me what ringtone I have.....I said, "I've never really looked, but probably a light brown!"

The Metro made a strong bid for this weeks 'No Shit Sherlock' when they said: Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp will sell four or five players in order to bring in any new signings.

The Mirror made me scratch my head: Barcelona claim they have already rejected a £27m offer from Chelsea for striker David Villa. WFF? Where do they pluck these figues from? Thin air? Is Andy Carroll worth £8m MORE than David Villa?

And that's it for today. I'm off to the supermarket to buy ice cubes. And a bottle of Single Malt. This ITK stuff drives you to drink.

Have you donated to SC yet?
PLEASE!
No? Then do so now please.
Before I visit your mum

[ackie]

first...
i like the ringtone

 

[opensaysme]

I'd like to get to know you.

 

[ackie]

Meant to say , i like the ringtone joke...

 

[AngerManagement]

so, are we signing Kaka then?

 

[yozza]

Cheers for the round up A&C!

So I randomly logged on late last night just as the Goat turned up to bleet his cryptic words of wisdom. Unfortunately I had already burst into flames (crazy weather!!!), so there was no chance of me being able to decipher that last bit of ITK.

Were there any solid conclusions made in the end? :shrug:

 

[fozzi44]

Did anyone get the goats cryptics?

 

[RJ1882]

Roll on Friday - I sense a signing. And if not, I'll release my aggression watching Haye on Saturday night.

---Sandro-Modric---
vdV----Kaka----Bale

 

[RJ1882]

Cryptics were supposed to be a mixture of Cahill, Drogba, Leandro and Scott Sinclair I think. Some or all of those.
Brother of Gio? NO! Suggests Leandro who's full name ends with 'dos Santos'.

For me Cahill, Parker, Leandro and Drogba would be a bloody fantastic window.
Scott Sinclair looked very impressive in teh few Swansea games I seen. But he'll be nothing more than back up as opposed to genuine competition for Lennon or Bale. Still, I do think we need a pacey wide man as cover for those 2. I would just prefer someone more established.

 

[southernspur9]

What the hell? I can only assume the, Gio's brother crap is Damaio as he has Dos Santos in his full name but the rest? not a freaking clue.

 

[not_tenth-again]

Kaka! You f'ing beauty!!!

He'd be great on our bench

 

[Yid-ol]

Home of the swans is liberty stadium? No idea what it could be. Sounds like ms spears, can't think of placed that sound like there

 

[AngerManagement]

How did anyone draw the conclusion to Kaka? was it more in depth than simply picking a Brazilan player because they wear blue and yellow?

Blue and Yellow, much foucus on the blue, much focus on the yellow but what about the other word?? "AND" is there an anagram for a player with the initials A.N.D.? or perhaps leANDro?

I'd say Leandro is bound to be one of the 4, the other 3 2 we had been linked with and two out of the blue (back to the blue link lol) we been linked with everyone and his dog so the 2 we haven't been linked with should be the easy part

 

[Gbspurs]

These cryptics hurt my head

 

[Yid-ol]

I think it means that its 2 players for blue and yellow and not 1 like everyone guesses

 

[We'llWinThePrem]

Drogba and Rossi!

 

[yido_number1]

home to the swans... Park = parker?

 

[AngerManagement]

Home of the swans is liberty stadium? No idea what it could be. Sounds like ms spears, can't think of placed that sound like there

I googled "the swans" and got post punk band from NEW YORK NEW YORK. Rossi is from New Jersey just over the turnpike. Liberty stadium is also a reference to America and new york so either way you could link that to Rossi I suppose.

Swansea were previously from Vetch Field (which could be considered HOME) I can't think of a link for that though so its probably a waste of time and off the mark.

Sounds like ms spears, I'd say its more likely to sound like her first name hence the omission of it. Can't think of anything Britney sounding off the top of my head though.

 

[KingNick]

Lots of reports about our interest is Tasci this morning. A cheaper possibly more cultured alternative to Cahill?

Has there been any ITK to back this up?

Strangely, i had a dream about a week ago about Tasci signing for Spurs despite having not seen his name mentioned since last summer. If we do sign him, I'll try and dream up the lottery numbers too and post them on here.
