The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 29 July 2011

[Archibald&Crooks]

And so Friday comes around again. Only 30-odd days to go before we're put out of our misery and it's sure to be a rollercoaster of a ride.

Yesterday I was asked if I preferred leg or breast, I said I had a particular fondness for shaved fannies. I was told however this was not an option when ordering a KFC bargain bucket.

And to make matters worse.........

When I got home, the wife accused me of cheating, which, of course, I denied. "Yes you are you no good, lying sack of shit!" she screamed.
"Are you on the blob or something, you mad bitch?" I shouted.......Then I threw the Monopoly board across the room.

Oh yeah, we had some ITK yesterday.........

When: 28/07/11
Where: SC

Some players and their agents/managers have asked club management if there are to be incomings, they have been told throughout that 'Expect what we need, the Chairman is working tirelessly to take us to the next level, and soon'.

hardly ground breaking but maybe we can all just chill a little and wait and see. But good to know the players want to see improvements.

Half of them are probably on SC nad fast losing the will to live.........

Then a Leicester ITK called Bert :lol: on Andros Townsend

This is likely to happen. Season long loan I'm lead to believe.

Cheers Bert :up:

Then, the trees rustled, a branch swayed and ........

Where: FTL
jsut heard from 2nd person today that he really is crackign on with it now and not cuasing any problems at all
id imagne will say something before season starts
yes he will stay and reckon may even sign new deal who knows!

The spelling authenticates this.........

Then the first of a few 'round-up' style snippets.........

When: 28/07/11
Where: SO

but a few tit bits from a day or two ago.

Asked if Defoe was available this summer...immediate yes.

Pav considered best striker at club but is a strange boy.

They fear Bentley will end up at club for remainder of his contract as no one is interested and when he does play, like against MKDons, he's crap.

As said a million times, club are really struggling to move players on. Wages and living in London means they're happy where they are. Being offered moves up north and taking pay cut doesn't appeal.

Niko, they're not desperate to lose him but general agreement that he needs to play for his own sharpness/fitness and he's a nice lad so they understand how frustrating it is for him.

And comments on Leandro were impressed with his strength after first game against Barca. If not his penalty taking. Still very raw. They don't rate him as highly as Internacional are trying to sell him for.

Interesting...........

And then over on COYS

When: 28/07/11
Where: COYS
Mata is a target as known allready, we might be offering a contract, not sure on that.
Vucinic has 4 offers, PSG, us, Scum and one other club, let's wait and see, Roma will sell him so it's a matter of time before we know.
Guerrero being mentioned, not sure at which stage, but apparently some sort of interest (hopefully very early stages!)
Mason to Doncaster is done

Interesting(ish)

Then, late last night, the motherload.......

When:28/07/11
Where: SC


Long long long convo, lots of bits and bobs, ryhmes and reasons etc to go with each bit of info, but just confusing, and i cant be arsed to post it all. Still got lots tho.

Summary is:

Our ideal scenario was ROSSI, VUCINIC, LEANDRO, JOHNSON, PARKER, MARIN.

Now working towards VUCINIC, BARRIOS, LEANDRO/LUKAKU, PARKER (loan or transfer), MARIN (if we clear all midfielders) and YOUNG CENTRE BACK (dont know who)


ROSSI - DL was trying as said before, would of paid fee and wages but this has been left as we are not as it stands an option for him at the moment if at all he leaves

LLORENTE - Asked No interest

VUCINIC - All has been agreed with club and him, but he has (of yesterday) asked for time to think it over ( maybe wait for other options). We have asked for answer by Monday.

BARRIOS - We have started discussions with his club, fee, wages will not be a problem.

LUKAKU - We have started our interest again, and again fee and wages will not be a problem.

LEANDRO - Fee and personal terms WERE agreed and still on table as said before. First hold up was now or Jan, he was then told by Internacional that he was not for sale, so offered and signed a new contract, but this was only for some legal fiddle, transfer fe3 and brazil tax laws or something He is for sale to us and available again.

PARKER - Arry wants permanent, DL only wants season loan. Either way pikeys will do a deal, and he will come if arry and DL can agree which one

JOHNSON - Arry not happy that Johnson went to wolves, DL wasnt prepared to do a deal as doesnt feel we really need a centre half. Arry can sign one, however, DL wants it to be a younger better business option that could make us money in future.

MATA - Asked, no interest in him.

MARIN - Arry likes him alot as does DL. Both really frustrated about this one, as. Will only go for him this summer if we can shift all surplus midfielders. Will try in Jan if we are in position to then.

We are actively trying to get rid of,

Transfers:

Alnwick, Hutton, Bassong, Bentley, Palacios, Jenas, Dos Santos, Keane, Defoe, Crouch (only if we get 3 strikers we want)

Lots of interest, but fees and wages the problem. Dont be suprised to see DL however have a quick fire sale and go against his principles as time drags on is what i was told.

Loans:

Livermore
Carroll
Mason - New contract and looking like Doncaster or Yeovil again
Townsend
Obika
Kane - New contract and looking like Orient
Coulibay/Ceballos - to stay with Development squad but could be loaned if progress quickly

THIS IS ALL IDEAL WORLD AND EVERYTHING GOING 100% TO PLAN. IT WONT, BUT AT LEAST YOU GET THE JIST OF WHAT WE ARE AFTER ETC AND IDEAS ARE

COYS

Cheers.

And that was that for the ITK.

My wife is constantly nagging me, do this, do that, do it now not tomorrow! She expects me to do everything. Although as it turns out, that didn't include the barmaid at the Red Lion

HAVE YOU DONATED YET? WELL HAVE YOU?​

I like those early morning laughs...thanks

concerning Brownhead's info regarding Lukaku: the chairman of Anderlecht stated yesterday that Romelu is 'only interested in joining Chelsea and is not willing to consider other options'.

Speculation yesterday in the Belgian footy press was that Eliaquim Mangala, the defender of Standard we've been linked with, is close to joining Valencia.

Isn't that the most important criteria in all our recent targets.....a player who doesn't want to join or we can't afford :shrug:...i'd say he is a realistic target then :grin:

 

[luptic]

second week of august, not too far away now......

 

[rawhide]

I believe nothing that comes out of the mouths of Chairmen or Managers, with the exception of Levy's M****c not for sale comment.

It's all politics and hidden agendas. Worse than politicians...

 

[Courtneyjd]

I love the link to Barrios, think he could be a worldy player for us!

Vucinic, Barrios and Marin would be an awesome window, hardly realistic however.

Think it will be very hard to shift the fringe players.

 

[leelee]

My cousin's old man is friendly with a few Arse lads and he says 17.5M deal agreed with Valencia for Mata, Cahill soon to follow and the star signing of the summer for them will be Benzema. Just passin this on as I know for a fact the bloke in question has good links with the club.

If carlsberg made transfer windows....

 

[elDiablo]

Great Round up. All down hill from this point - not even a tenuous link on BBC. Maybe time for a Winehouse style binge........

 

[yozza]

Cheers A&C!

Interesting stuff from Brownhead last night, although I'd be very surprised if we were able to get Lukaku. He has seemed Chelsea-bound for a long time now.

Still, stranger things have happened............

 

[Montasura]

Morning all, so BBC gossip tells me that Levy is trying to include Bentley and keane as part of the Vucinic deal......seriously?!?! Levy is in danger of becoming the laughing stock of world football.......the Roma people must have nearly choked when that offer arrived in the fax!

 

[sunnydelight786]

Just over a month to go before the window shuts, 2 weeks to go before the season starts, and we are no closer to signing the strikers we need than we were on Jan 31st. What on earth is going on....?

 

[RamsesV]

Barrios injured for 4 weeks following the supercup.

The day you start believing BBC gossip is the day you should take a rest from any ITK related threads.

Mata could be, Cahill also; Benzema is definately not leaving Real this summer, no chance.

Where'd you see that? I can't find it anywhere, was it today or yesterday?

 

[hardcorepman]

My big concern would be the signing of any player from the german league. If Ribery looks like a world beater out there then you have to question the quality of football being played.

Dont know if anyone has mentioned Sergio Canales but i dont think that is unachieveable even if only a loan deal. He isnt getting the games at Madrid at the moment and has bags of potential.
