The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 5 July 2011

[Archibald&Crooks]

Another quiet(ish) day on the ITK front. Yet still, we got to nearly 50 pages. And I noticed that Modric leaving talk YET AGAIN dominated the latter stages of the thread.

From now on, please take it to the Modric thread. It's the same faces saying the same things in the same place on different days. It's got boring now.

Oh and congratulations to the Beckhams on the imminent birth of their fourth child. Unconfirmed reports say Victoria Beckham gave birth to the Beckham's first daughter today weighing just 5lb 2 oz.

The weight of the baby is yet to be announced.

As for the eyeteekay...........

Who: Brownhead
When: 4th July
Where: SC

Will elborate some more tomorrow on Levy and how he works, in a rush

Rossi, Adebayor, Vuc, we are talking, optimistic on all. Only 2 of 3 tho.
Leandro, still done but Jan
After Hazard or Marin big time, if Modric goes, he will for big bid, guaranteed im told
Parker in soon
Villa have bid 5m for Hutton
Sunderland in for Jenas and Keane
QPR and Villareal in for Gio
Krancjar wants Zagreb, lots of offers in from others, but he digging heels in
We also want Sinclair
Jol wants Defoe
Still told R.Johnson as Cahill too pricey
Also arry wants Viera again

Fingers and Pies, Levy just wants the best deals possible. Dont expect all incomings mentioned

Levy and Arry are NOT seeing eye to eye, and it is tense. Basically, arry wants anyone and everyone, Levy will only do it if that player makes financial sense etc and only once squad is cleared.. Also arry does not give 2nd chances to anyone who pisses him off, i.e Gio, Bentley. Very ery stubborn

Mark Hughes has been sounded out as Arry's replacement btw

COYS

I love fingers and pies. Well, pies actually.

I was washing the car yesterday when my annoying neighbour pipes up, "You can clean mine next!"

"Ha ha!" I laughed.

Jesus, it's bad enough I have to fuck his wife for him.

Given past summers I can't see us signing two strikers, with leandro coming in jan, with our record. Still think we will see three new signings with them coming towards the end of the window. It's a shame we have went cold on llorente, he is what we need, not rossi.

 

[TheChosenOne]

Had to read the Beckham story twice. "Chuckles"

Am I right in thinking that if we sign anyone over say 15m, we'd announce it to the stock exchange first thing in the morning? If so, I could reduce the time spent on here refreshing every 5 minutes....

I haven't the foggiest. But what if we signed someone at lunchtime?

Sorry. You're hooked and you're here for life.

 

[luptic]

Or you could just revisit around the 26th of August.

Is that just a mod signed in with the wrong account or is it really ITK that we will sign somebody at lunch time!?!

We would anounce it as soon as the deal is complete, whatever the time I would think. Thing is we normally know we have signed a player before the deal is fully completed.

 

[Yid-ol]

Don't think its in the morning, thought it was just when its been done, do could be during the day?

 

[Bromavinci]

Certainly seems that Harry and Levy are struggling to agree on a few things. To me it's like Harry is like a big wolfhound or something and Levy has a big fist wrapped tightly around a leash struggling to hold him back.

I hold confidence that we will be ok come August, but it must be a hard job not having the resources to pay the wages. You can see Harry believes we are on the cusp, if only levy would take a gamble. But we all know (and I'm thankful for it) that levys prudence will win out...

hope we get Rossi.

 

[ackie]

Help!!! Are we really signing someone by midday today?

 

[blueant27]

hope we get Rossi.

:hump:

Nope someone was trying to find a logical reason not to live on this forum during the transfer window months. Logic didn't work though.

[andyp8080]

i told my Mrs last night that I really feel a big signing will happen in the next 3 days

 

[danielneeds]

hope we get Rossi.

I just get the feeling that he has no interest in coming to us, or England in general. Think his agent is just stringing us along to engender other bids.

 

[yozza]

Cheers for the round up A&C.

The Goat has just guaranteed that this thread will go into meltdown just around the time I tuck into my peanut butter and sardine sarnies!

 

[Clamour_Kid]

RE the latest info from The Goat, there is no way Drogba will be coming to Spurs.

 

[whitelightwhiteheat]

Don't think we'll get Drogba or Cahill. Parker seemed inevitable until we messed with their Olympic Stadium bid. Maybe they won't want to do business with us now? I wouldn't be that disappointed.
