Good morning ITK freaks, welcome to the latest instalment of the 'this is the week' or 'today's the day' or even 'if we don't sign someone soon i'm going to hang myself' thread.

Apologies for the delay, earlier the wife threw a bottle of Omega 3 pills at me. Don't worry, I only suffered super fish oil injuries.

On with the ITK.............First up Noodles, Crouch and Toffee.

The thread is titled ...

Crouch can score for toffee?

[Some theorise possible exchange for Rodwell - nothing confirmed from noodles yet though]
Then Gobshite of...........sorry I mean POTL switched from bashing other ITK's and cryptics to sarcasm.

Yes were going to sell our only right midfielder at the club and one of the brightest young players in the country to our rivals.
If only he could stick to good plain ITK.

From FTL we had Samba news..........

BRFC are one of my customers and deal with people quite high up in the IT dept there
Told me we've offered £5m plus Hutton & Keane for Samba
No idea if they're entertaining the thought or if it's been rejected
On a seperate note was told a rumour of Leicester putting an offer in for Keane this morning dont know if it meets valuation, if it's a loan deal or if he's even interested in going either way.

Then Shanks with some office gossip..........

Crouch to sunderland apparently.
Samba in.
Llorente replacement for Crouch (have no idea what this llorente is or plays like or whether its a like for like replacement).
Just on the phone getting some info now, I'll post it as I hear it, do what the hell you like with it.
So whilst it may differ from other ITK information, take my info as office gossip amongst the small fry, so to speak.
Much more interesting than the topic of conversation in my office yesterday. We never did decide on the best sexual use of a plunger.....

They seek him here, they seek him there, they seek the Grey Fox everywhere..........He's on SC you mugs.

I know from my source we were talking to Bilbao and llorente as far back as January and are continuing to talk perhaps the weekend will allow those talks to blossom.
Samba has been on our radar all summer.
Hate to go against the mighty POTL, but told and posted in May that We were not to be suprised if Lennon was to move if the right offer came in, haven't got any info regarding city though.
Interesting stuff.

Our final snippet comes from Akqayid, regarding Shank's info.....

The recent stuff of office gossip, isn't too far from the truth guys - so whatever he said before, add salt here, but it isn't a million miles away.

Blackburn want £10+ for Samba and were trying to get rid some of ours instead plus cash, not sure how much they are up for that, but the Venkys haven't a clue supposedly so maybe DL can bend them over a little?

Crouch to Everton, Sunderland ( swap maybe!!) and also QPR are all in the realms of possibility.

As you know with stuff it's pretty good and from both agent and players. And bar Diarra, the only incoming I know about that could/might happen was samba.
I'd love to say 'Llorente will sign on the pitch after the game saturday', or 'It Benzema boys!!' but I can't. I don't honestly know.

What I do know is that if we get rid off the keanes, defoes and Crouchs of the world we'd have two world class replacements and the kids of corblimy and Kane and of course pav would be the bench boys.

That's how I've been told it. Maybe we get rid of one or two and get one in, all three and two in.
Nice one :up:

Me and my wife were watching a film starring Jennifer Aniston last night.

About half way through she said to me, "That woman is absolutely stunning for her age. What's she doing that I'm not?"

"Exercising?"

Why are you so late this morning fella, did you ruin that tasty bird in your office last night then? You gotta keep focused during the transfer window, you've plenty of time for shenanigans once we sign a striker... Unless you've been holding something back from us in which case I'll twitter a reward of £40,000 for someone to break both your arms a la ballantyne style my son, cough up what do you know you fucker... sorry it's just I need a itk fix I'm a nice guy really

That has to be my first mention on your daily Archie.

You turn me on a little.

Hope we'll see some movement over the next few days now.

Maybe I'm simple but that cracked me up.


Which was quite painful as I had my Gall bladder removed yesterday!


Nice round up A&C but you'll be hearing from my people.

A&C there was also bugsdad's bet with BC. They had a wager of £100 donation to SC late last night because bugsdad heard some info that made him certain Adebayor would be signing on loan.

I actually have quite a bit of work to do today so it would be typical if it all kicked off.

However I STILL don't see much happening on the horizon. Other than maybe Friedel I think it's pretty clear we won't see any new players in the starting XI for the Everton game now which is disappointing but possibly to be expected.

I was there, it was very exciting! Bugsdad had some information which although he couldn't share he was very confident. He accepted the £100 sc contrubution wager with BC extremly quickly, not an onuce of hesitation which suggest he knows something very good (or high)

I believe he said it would be an intial one year loan which would also tie in with POTLs info earlier in the week that we were working very hard on securing BLUE on loan for a year - that is of courcse if Adebayor is indeed the infamous Blue...heres hoping

Likewise, will check back at lunch to see hissy fits, suicidal tendencies and perhaps one piece of ITK. Love it! (that wasn't Pottle sarcasm)

They're finally bringing you down aren't they. It's pretty clear that there's no way we can know if they'll be new players or not by the Everton game. It's still 9 days away and much like it only takes a second to score a goal, it also only takes a second to complete a transfer if we've been working on one for X amount of time over the last few weeks.

Keep the faith. But by all means kill Bon Jovi.

Today's the day. I can feel it in my misguided sense of blind optimism.

If I had a pound for everytime I hsave read that I would have at least £118 by now! Fingers crossed your right - if we some outgoing s that would be really encouraging I think. There has been links to Dos Santos, Hutton, Palicios, and Crouch so hopefully some of these may come to fruition, maybe even today if were really really good and eat all our vegatables.

I don't really feel that way. We're as likely to sign someone today as I am of being productive. Which is not very likely at all.
