The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 30th August 2017

[Jody]

Just to clarify, there hasn't really been ANY ITK about Martins. Just some guessing and blowing out of proportions.

Been some itk likes against his name though!

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Guessing this is putting the dampeners on the more complicated cryptic guess of Gelson Martins, in favour of the simpler explanation - Andre Gomes.

Rob pretty much said it was meant to be really complicated.

Not sure. When Breezer, Grey Fox and Gards have given Winner, dislike and favourite (Twitter) respectively to imply we're after him, it's quite likely we've at least asked the question of Sporting.

Fuck that. Hot Spur has that title.

Nine while nine is a funny fucker though.

If it's official, I accept. But I don't know of an Hot Spur?

Or 'if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...' re.'ducks-in-a-row'?

Don't think foxy and breeze would have rated posts on Martins as they did if there's nothing in it.

Fair enough, I was just relating the principle of Occam's razor to the latest 'Jehova' cryptic - perhaps I shouldn't.

 

[WiganSpur]

I certainly don't think it's clear and I have no clue who it is. I'm just hoping for Aurier to be sealed tomorrow morning and then we can relax to a certain extent and see who the surprise may be.

I'm not sure Stoof knows the answer tbh. Cryptics are normally Rob and A&C's game iirc.

He had a total breakdown earlier in the window. Felt a bit sorry for him bejng an old man and all but very funny.

 

[DaniLeves]

What a day. We're going to need summarisers to keep us all up to speed tomorrow. Let's stick together and get through this.

Delegorgon reporting and ready for duty !

@THFCSPURS19, I think the forum agrees differently. Please expand?

I would appreciate.

 

[Roynie]

Already bracing myself for the Summer 2018 bid from Real Madrid for our star man, Gelson Martins... Enjoyable ITK day!

Yeah but, no but ..... by then he will cost them ONE MILLION .... er .... ONE BILLION POUNDS. BWWaaahhhhaaahhhhaaa !

 

[tez1503]

We can stop with the Jadon Sancho guesses as well.

Why do a cryptic for someone already in the public domain and discussed at length in SC?

Add in that JJ acted rather slyly when asked directly on twitter and that Hercules made a point of almost ignoring the name being bandied about, then you have 5 ITKs of which none of them went as far to try and scotch the rumour. There has been no written ITK on him, but rather a collection of ratings and indirect comments that add up to something.

He is color blind, but takes it graciously.

I had no idea. Please direct me in the right direction and I can knowledge!

Just to clarify Grey Fox didn't disagree to Gelson.

Grey Fox disagreed to a post which said Breezer might have mistakenly clicked winner for Gelson...so this was taken as Grey Fox was also siding with a possible move for Gelson

 

[EighteenEightyTwo]

Also jokes that are no longer funny.
Putting an n in front of a players name.
Putting peters at the end of one.
Byern in for...
Blue and yellow...
Making an answer to a cryptic absurd in order to get the name of a really great/shit player.

Can we add Danny Rose google jokes to that list?

 

[Lilbaz]

So far i've got

Gray
Martins
Gomes

Anyone else? This is assuming that aurier is done and barkley is off.
