Good morning ITK-lings! The start of another week of madness, rumour and counter rumour that is certain to thave the more bi-polar amongst you reaching dizzying highs and suicidal lows because after all, ITK is such an exact science isn't it?
I bought my wife some make-up for her birthday on Saturday. She looked at it and said. "This has been tested on animals."​
"That's why I bought it," I said.​
"What for?" she replied.​
"Well if it can make a monkey look good, then maybe you have a chance."​
What do you mean get on with the ITK? o_O
OK then, we start off with Saturday's utterings..........It all began with Jasper responding to rumours that Vertonghen had turned us down as was moving to the scum.​
Jasper said:
I am not going to jump on anyone's bandwagon, and will stick my head out to say i will be absolutely shocked if he is not announced after formals very soon. I said all along it was not the fee but the structure of it as they wanted it the vast majority paid upfront, but that has been sorted and close to be concluded once and for all. For the record the filth only offered 8m.
Which reassured some.​
Then news on Modric came​
berba1981 said:
We have turned down £38 million from Real Madrid !!
Cue much angst but equal amounts of indifference.​
That was pretty much it for Saturday, except for yet another Eurovision disaster in the evening. I say fuck it, next year we should send the Go Compare guy.​
Then on a gloriously sunny Sunday the ITK resumed.........Akqayid posted regarding Vertonghen (Vertonghen) and more.............​
Akqayid said:
And here we go again

No kaka in sight! Promise.

Vertonghen - done as of 1am this morning. Lump upfront, lump for appearances and success. God knows what else. It's done.

Ratboy - again isn't actually doing anything till after euros. But sounds like wants off. Think it will involve 40m plus players

Bale - Staying.

The monthly comp winner (Ryan N) - off to states

Thudd - maybe loaned out

VdV - Wants to become a 'legend' and loves us like we love him. Ain't going anywhere..... Ever.

French.... Ones out of euros and ones in. Remi is deffo on. No idea on the other!

German.... Penalties anyone? Deffo one BM player.

Brazil - will break the bank for him. Kung fu sandy may hold sway. But all links with Inter will go after this. Kaka..... We actually did try to do this.... Never again

Italy.... Del 'wouldn't even touch
Him with yours son' Perio. Paper talk

Bentley, jenas, Defoe, - possible QPR deal to be had (JD doesn't actually want to go). If not swaps for east Anglian's finest?

Livermore - bright bright future. Trains 'his fucking nuts off'

Harry - tightrope. And as Ryan said. Last year he spoke to them, this year he's spoke from his agent. But just can't see a contract offered for at least 2-5 months

Rodgers - lunch and presented the future for the club.

Joe Cole.....he's been spoken too by HR

AVB - heavily recommended by Jose to Levy

Levy - errrr anyone seen Moneyball? Because he's currently doing it..... 76% of the time, 100% all the time. But wants nothing more than success.

Targets haven't changed since last week. And most.... Last year. There is no 'B' list. It's an 'A'
List..... And HR hasn't a say. So forget the RIO rubbish

Other non us stuff

Porn twins offering Beck's £150k a week to come 'home' to canning town comedy club

Utd signing some U-14 Brazilian kid for 2m in installments - supposedly the new Ronaldo

Tiger woods under microscope by Nike, could be dropped (worth a punt at 8/1)

Luke Donald just bought a box at WHL for himself

I've signed the next golf super star.... Won't name him yet.

Our new sponsor is Beko
A lot for you to be digesting. The final piece of ITK this weekend soon followed.......Jasper again. with a rant which pretty much repeated his Saturday info.
Jasper said:
What the heck is wrong with some people! No offence meant! Jumping on bs peeps claiming that deal hz broken down and then some joker claims filth in for him and Ajax trying to hike up the price etc. It is all bs to this point. As far as I am aware things are very positive. I will not make the fatal mistake to say done deal! I accept anything can happen. I personally believe it will happen for reasons which i will not disclose. Stop hacking DL. I agree sometimes he can be a pin, but in this case he wants to make a statement with at least 2 early key signings, and a possible third. Please stop listening to the media bs, inless its fourth official who seems to be spot on more than most me thinks.
Repeated it? I reckon it was the first draft.

And that was that. Up to date on the 'K.

In other news: Metro are reporting that Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe revealed he is a Chelsea supporter just days after the Blues won the Champions League with victory over Bayern Munich. John Terry will be thrilled.

Now then. Have you donated yet? No? Do you think all this stuff comes free? Come on, a few quid a month makes a huge difference and really helps us out. Think of it as Soccer Aid.............And before anyone says it, NO! We shouldn't sign the out of contract Clarence Seedorf..................Although we probably will........:confused:

AND NOW A MESSAGE FROM OUR SPONSORS
DONATE YOU ****S!

Cheers A&C. Amongst all the madness, you are surely the voice of cynical disbelief at the users you moderate! ;)

Here's hoping for a signing to help everyone chill, cause its too damn hot!

Another week and the vertonghen story is still running, Put me down for the 18th of June if there is a sweepstake happening.
Seriously If it aint announced before saturday, it has the makings of running like the berbatov united transfer.

As long as we sign Vertonghen before pre-season training starts I'm not too worried. And two other signings to boot, please!

Hopefully we'll get Vertonghen sorted out this week and then crack on with our striker problem.

I've got a sneaky feeling we'll get in a striker/attacking player before we tie up the Vertonghen deal.

In fact, I'd accept the new look shirt tbh. Just something to lift me out of this dark mood I've been in since Robben's pen miss.

I believe that with Vertonghen over for the Eng v Belgium game, I would assume that the deal will be concluded by Wednesday.

I expect a "fee agreed between the two clubs" to appear today.

That is just my guess.

Well presumably the song is a pun, like Vert(onghen)-a-Go, so nearly done? Was POTL replying to someone which might explain the bit about Allan Dixon?

I think there was a photo of Vert at the game. People wondered who he was with.

I don't think that is worthy of it's own post in teh ITK thread. Says nothing new at all.

What's the TTOD bit?

I wish he would just come out and say blue & yellow it's close/done!
