The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 7th August 2012

[McFlash]

I REALLY want Leandro now.

 

[etchedchaos]

Here's the thing to those thinking this game will make the whole football world go crazy for him, if they're not interested already they're not going to suddenly bid £30million on the back of one game. Not to mention Llorente wants out and that will catch the attention of the big clubs, more than Leandro scoring twice.

What about claiming we were after a bundesliga player with the initials BM. JJ saying he had the initials wrong, Akqavid claiming he had made a typo, then a couple of weeks later saying he in fact meant BM as Bayern Munich and the player was Muller??

I'm not doubting Akqavid hears stuff but that was a f*ck up IMO

But doesn't that suggest that Akqayid was on the right track with a bit of unusual ITK (if JJ was conforming it but correcting the detail), even if he'd got his wires a little crossed.

We all fuck up sometimes.
Manners usually dictate that one shouldn't point and laugh.

Shame on you justinsignal, shame on you.

And that in a game against what many would describe as a fairly average opponent

I'm glad we don't do all our deals at the beginning of this window. This thread is far more exciting a read than 50 shades of blue and yellow.... I mean grey.
We have the highs, lows and now the dumb. We do need a rating for "chill, we've got this".
All we need now is for bayern to make a bid for ade.
thanks all you itk, without you we'd have to do some work.

Got a bit of ITK I thought I would share as I'm new to the community... Make of what you wish lads.

I work with a brother of a Swansea player and he was told a few things about Caulker...

Apparently he has a huge attitude problem and has really poor discipline in terms of drinking, all that on top of a gambling problem.

Like I said make of it what you wish but will be interesting to see if this will hinder his progress into our first team or will he be another GDS

I think this day and age it's going to happen. The kind of money these young men earn is going to have an affect on them.

Imagine what previous generations of footballers would have been like if they had been earning this sort of money!

Gazza would have been sat by the corner flag rocking away with tears rolling down his face and a bottle of JD in one hand.

Ziege would have had skin laser treatment to clear up his face.

Linekar would have had his ears pinned back so he wouldn't have blown away when there was a gust of wind.

Ginola would have had the fluffiest, bounciest hair in all the land. Oh no wait, he did!

If llorente is up for grabs unfortunately there will be too many big cats prowling around for us to even get close, great great player, him and falcao would be the dream signing, think the club will do well to secure Leandro, that is unless levy decides to through some serious cash around!!

 

[Blake Griffin]

we can't afford llorente, maybe if he was 3 or 4 years younger it might be a goer, not at 27 though.

JJ just pooh-poohed interest in Cesar on twitter

 

[gibbospurs]

I REALLY want Leandro now.

Someone else will snap him up! We are spurs. We fuck about too much. I will donate a tenner if we sign him. Money safe.

Just a random quote I found from a site about Damiao (It helped me with clarification on the two guys who reported Damiao to Spurs as I wasn't familiar with Lopes really):

Link: http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/t...scores-twice-for-brazil-v-south-korea-video/?

The rumours have been rife for years now but it finally looks like Tottenham will sign Leandro Damiao in the coming weeks.
Having been linked with the Internacional striker for two years, reports in recent days suggest a Spurs deal is closer with Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas keen to tie up a striker before the Premier League season kicks off.
Reports in the Sunday Mirror and Daily Mail over recent days were supplemented this evening by respected journalist Duncan Castles and Goncalo Lopes, a Portuguese reporter known to be close to AVB, claiming Tottenham’s deal for Damiao is almost done.

i really really do hope we sign this fella up.

 

[Qualsonic]

Our hounding Of him over the last few years must count for something, must've had an effect on him. Now, with a Portuguese manager, perhaps we are an even more appealing prospect.

I've always liked the sound of him, and his current prominence and some (cautiously) optimistic itk make me think that this could just be a great coup for us this time round...

 

[Qualsonic]

How come Akqayid's lengthy post from earlier isn't in the RO?

 

[Stoof]

Akqa asked it not to be put there.

 

[Qualsonic]

Akqa asked it not to be put there.

In the last paragraph isn't he asking the mods to post his post as "itk"?

 

[Indisguise]

Don't know about anyone else, but I'm relieved to read this!

Evs79 ‏@ChrisEvs79 as damiao scores and impresses more, are our chances of gettin him reducing??

The original JJetset ‏@jetsetyid Not really

 

[SpunkyBackpack]

How come Akqayid's lengthy post from earlier isn't in the RO?

There wasn't any new information in it, it was just his list of 'things i got right' as far as i could see. No need to put that in the RO.

 

[Indisguise]

No so relieved to read this one however.

GazzehCOYS ‏@GazzehCOYS how likely IS Ade to sign for us? Are we looking elsewhere?

The original JJetset ‏@jetsetyid Up in the air and yes
