The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 5 August 2011

[yido_number1]

Mods can we get the Blue and Yellow stuff cut again ... too much I think this I think that.... its spamming the thread again... POTL Confirmed who Blue is and people are still guessing...

 

[Supersi32]

Are Archibald & Archie one in the same, or are they two different ITKs...?

Thanks

 

[GoldstarYid]

Falcao and Adebayor or Llorente then Diarra and Samba.

That would be a vg window imo.

Do not think we need Llorente and Adebayor though. However if we did we should sign Delap and go for it.

Not 100% he hasn't?

Although it's fair to say it's Adebayor.

Interesting you bring up Wilson I hear villareal have ear marked him as sennas replacement and could be used by us in a deal for Rossi/nilmar

That's interesting and a deal I would advocate, begrudgingly though but if it meant a better way to securing a greater need in our side (Rossi in particular) then that could well be the way to go.

Would you like to clarify the point of this thread if not to discuss the ITK?

 

[Babylon22]

Who is blue?

 

[talkshowhost86]

It seems like Spurs have gone transfer rope-a-dope and the ITKs can't catch up with them. This is the first time i've seen all the big ITK guns have such divergent opinions on various players so someone somewhere is obviously throwing out info left right and centre.

Exciting times...hopefully.

 

[DiscoD1882]

Players we were linked with in Jan who could be yellow:

Rossi-obvious
Falcao-Columbia
Llorente-nickname the lion, lions are yellow (clutching at straws)
Hulk-Brazil

Straw is yellow too!!!Solved! Llorente it is!!! Woo hoo!

 

[THOWIG]

Why would you loan out a player to a potential challenger and pay a percentage of the wage? Doesn't make sense.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

I think Adebayor and Rossi have always been blue and yellow. Don't you lot remember the goat saying the important word was "and" meaning two players I believe, and we have been linked with those two since January (retrospectively in Adebayors case).

If we shipped Keane, Crouch and Defoe, Adebayor and Rossi would be the optimal replacements of who is available, but I worry it would mean VDV being played out of position most weeks.

As far as Jenas goes, many of you lot are stupid, blind or both to what this bloke actually contributes and has for 6 years consistently. No matter how many games like Bremen away, ManU home, Inter away, ARSENAL away, Villa home he puts in, or the great passes he can make like SToke away or Bremen away etc, his detractors are only stupid enough to notice that he's not world class - and most of those detractors are stupid enough to to sing the praises of players like Huddelstone, Ekotto and Dawson.

If used correctly and given license to go forward he is one of the best box to box midfielders in the EPL.

I hoped we'd upgrade him this year because then a) we'd have a fantastic player and b) we could stop listening to dimwits moaning about the bloke.

There actually aren't many players in our squad who have contributed as much to our most successful period as a club for 30 years. Over the last six years he's consistently contributed to two 5th place finishes, four european campaigns, one CL campaign, been a major factor in our one trophy win and getting to another final.

How shit.

I can see it now - Carlton Cole, his brother Joe and Upson scoop for Spurs

 

[danielneeds]

Would be more than satified with Abebayor, Diarra and Samba before Everton. Would add some real power and physicality to our squad.

 

[yawa]

Why would you loan out a player to a potential challenger and pay a percentage of the wage? Doesn't make sense.

Probably because they think they're above us now and are competing with Man U and Chelsea. Which they probably are.

 

[StanSpur]

Its been said before but Hutton doesn't count only English, Irish and Welsh as Scotland have a "strong" national league...

That doesn't change my point considering we are looking to sell him anyway. My point was there are worse players or players we could sell easier etc meaning JJ is worth keeping.

 

[danielneeds]

Because Mancini wants nothing to do with him, and at this point in time he won't make the 25 man squad, and then they will have to paying all his wage.

Agreed.

 

[McFlash]

Theres probably a eally obvious reason why it wouldnt be but i can't be asked to look it up.

Yellow - Fabiano?

Can you look it up please?!:wink:



On a more sensible note, I hope we don't stumble down that bloody Fabiano route again - surely we, as a club, have moved on from there now? ray:

 

[nailsy]

Interesting. I assume that a swap deal would reduce the amount of tax that we would have to pay?

Don't buy that. As I said yesterday they are worried about us and know we are only a couple of players away. Why help us? Plus pay for the
privelege?
