The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 30th August 2017

My Portuguese mate at work is a massive Sporting fan. He's still a bit agro about losing Dier to us. He has been telling me for the last year Gelson is the next big thing. If we are interested in getting him, we can look forward to our game changer!

 

[jonathanhotspur]

Yeah I just did the same - his ball control is off the charts. Oh and he is quick.

I am astonished at his acceleration from a standing start. He looks quicker than Bale, with insane control and agility. Holy fuck.

 

[EJWTartanSpur]

Worth noting guys , the payment removes the 54m clause and allows it to be increased but that doesn't mean they'd necessarily demand that 90m figure. Just means we can't circumnavigate them for a 'low' price, and allows them to negotiate with us

 

[TottenhamLegend]

If true, atleast Gelson would join with his old mate Dier. Both were at same time in Sporting academy & have played together in Sporting U19s...

I played against that Sporting team in which they both played together /namedrop

 

[Kirito]

The men in this thread could create a new river to rival the Thames, it wouldn't be made up of water though.

Gelson Martins is like Marcus Edwards on steroids. Yes please Mr Levy.

 

[felmani26]

If it's a pacy wide forward that Poch has coveted for some time then I can't possibly see how Gelson Martins wouldn't be on his radar.

Looks a real talent if slightly unpredictable - certainly would add another dimension to our attack

 

[wallyjakeman]

The Goat has used religious themes in cryptics earlier this summer, right? The life of Brian stuff? Was that ever confirmed solved?

 

[DaniLeves]

jehovah = god will provide
gelson = levy will provide

So you what you're saying is #welcometospursgelson

 

[RicOfPeace]

Never heard of this Martins fella just watched his YouTube video and he reminds me so much of that player you play online fifa against that no matter how many times you tackle them they still have the ball bobble back to them...
Sign him up.

Gelson Martins is like Marcus Edwards on steroids. Yes please Mr Levy.

So he is basically Messi?

 

[lgsbigal]

It amazes me that 90% of people on here seem to only watch spurs games. If you follow european football whatsoever you would have heard of Martins, he's an incredible talent and was amazing in the cl

 

[amathews3416]

Looks to me like an enhanced version of Aaron Lennon in his prime. I can't imagine how many penalties he would win us against the lumbering defenders in the Prem.

 

[gibbospurs]

I would prefer Dem Gray tbh

 

[Lemon]

Haha, along those lines - and with tin foil hat firmly in place while we copy and paste from Wikipedia...:

In the Islamic tradition, "77" figures prominently. Muhammad is reported to have explained, "Faith has sixty-odd, or seventy-odd branches, the highest and best of which is to declare that there is no god but God, and the lowest of which is to remove something harmful from a road. Shyness, too, is a branch of faith." While some scholars refrain from clarifying "sixty-odd or seventy-odd", various numbers have been suggested, 77 being the most common.[7] Some have gone so far as to delineate these branches.[8]

The Gospel of Luke lists 77 generations from Adam to Jesus.[9]

In religious numerology[edit]
In certain numerological systems based on the English alphabet, the number 77 is associated with Jesus Christ. CHRIST is C = 3, H = 8, R = 18, I = 9, S = 19, T = 20, which added together equal 77.

If man is 5, 5, 5
Then the devil 6, 6, 6
And if the devil is six then god is 7,7,7

This monkeys gone to heaven.

Gelson Martins wears no.77 and if you google Jehovah 77 then "song 77 - Sing to Jehovah" comes up

There is also Welcome to Liverpool video

We're signing Gelson Martins

Just to finally end this short-lived link, Gards tweeted this in response to the story about us and Dembele:

Messi is but a sloth in comparison.

Jehovah Witness - Andy Carroll just been in court as a Witness over armed robbery. Back up for Kane??

Why is that such a surprise? We support Tottenham Hotspur Football Club and that takes enough of my time only other time I've heard of a player is if they was any good on fifa.
