The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 9th July 2021

Always knew that Rob was a wrong'un and just out to piss off A&C

definitely likes stirring shit!

You might want to remove that quickly! @Bluto Blutarsky

One aspect with all of these current transfer rumours that needs to be firmly noted and taken into consideration is exactly what Paratici is using as bait to attract some of these players we are approaching. We finished in 7th spot last year and European glory next season lies in the newly formed Europa Conference League, hardly a huge juicy worm to dangle in front of the big fish. There is a possibility that our world class striker may be moving out and the club has brought in a new management team that is without any previous major success history. It will be testament to his DOF skills if he does manage to bring in some real quality over the next month.

Fabio is probably pitching his sales talk as high as he can at the moment when players such as Kounde and Romero are mentioned. What he is doing however is trying to establish a base line for the next window. Get these new guys in and hopefully Nuno and his staff can then do their bit by integrating everybody into a footballing squad that begins to show the media and rival clubs positive signs of being a re-awakening giant.

I am sure he will do everything he can to ensure that Spurs are a much more attractive proposition to the top players out there next time the window opens. I fully expect to hear about him still never being off his mobile phone then but maybe the majority of calls will be incoming enquiries about playing for Spurs rather than outgoing ones from Fabio.

We might have lost some of our glamour but the PL is a difficult league full of huge teams, someone big is going to finish 6th every year like it or not.

What we do still have is fantastic facilities and not forgetting we are a very good payer compared to many clubs.

Your points are very valid ones but quality players also seek trophy/title wins as well as financial reward. You have to remember that the players we are talking to have probably only ever heard of the club's facilities via online / news media articles. Fabio needs to prove to these guys that the Spurs 'star' is a rising one and this would be a wonderful opportunity for them to become part of a very special team and successful era at the club. Not an easy task but I'm sure he's up for the challenge.

We've had ITK saying that Bahamas trip was productive (or good or something, I forget the wording) so I don't think it's a forgone conclusion that Kane's gone. If anything, the sorts of signings we're (on the verge of) making might convince him that we're serious about creating a team that can win something (this time). And there's the stadium naming deal, that'll be incredible money.

Edit - fuck sake I've just seen the Kane thread.

 

[eddiev14]

3 little words to ruin it all...

The Kane money.

Well, this new group of Beatles better be good!

 

[Rob]

Rob may of heard, or read the sun. They say Kane going to City for £160m. Could be interesting, if that’s the word, if we announce the new “Fab Four” tomorrow.

There's at least one insult in there, maybe two

Pretty sure I posted before the Sun story broke but either way, I hadn't seen it.

 

[Jody]

I took @Rob s original post as a bit tounge in cheek and this was then followed up by the Sun story which I thought was a massive coincidence.

Anyway, I need to get to bed as the tooth fairy won’t be visiting later if I’m still up.

 

[snakehipsspurs]

If anyone has mentioned the press speculation in here, even as a joke, it's probably best to remove it or the big boss might swoop in here and f**k you up. You're all welcome in advance x

 

[Clive Wilson]

Thanks for all the ITK fellas. Lovely work

edit: deleted my Rob = mystic meg photo based on good advice

 

[mark87]

Need to delete that picture @Clive Wilson

None intended, and I did say "may". Timing is everything, as they say, and yours was spot on. It was only what many were thinking after ValanciaYids comments the other day.

Had id it not been for the blue background I would have said BS! I read your post and then literally a min later saw the Sun post.Spooky.

Please tell us you're yanking our chain ?????

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

OK, the second batch of amnesties for this transfer window has been done.

As of today, any bans are at least for the duration of this transfer window so do take care.

PS: I'll explain it again. The reason I don't respond to PM's when people have been banned has been touched on in a whingethread. It serves no purpose. Individual warnings or reasons aren't an entitlement, you get very very many warnings within this thread. If I were to respond to every PM I wouldn't have time to deal with it all, the inevitable to and fro of PM's arguing the toss is a grand waste of time for all concerned. You, me, them, everybody, everybody.......

Everybody needs somebody
Everybody needs somebody to love (Someone to love)
Sweetheart to miss (Sweetheart to miss)
Sugar to kiss (Sugar to kiss)

So, please do put some thought into this thread. We make it clear we moderate this thread differently, if i'm being honest, I don't like how this thread is now, we used to have a great laugh in here but some people rip the piss out of it and we've ended up like this

Fab(io) Friday has starred with Gollini all but confirmed

Got a feeling it’s going to be a good day

 

[Tucker]

Some defender related ITK from Dragon 1 on Coys. Nothing ground breaking, but this is in response to someone asking about what happened with the links to Kim Min Jae:

“The issue was more about the Korean fa wanting him for tons of games and after how much we’ve missed son it put us off

Romero , kounde , Anderson much higher up the list this window”

 

[whitechina]

It's a shame about the links to Kim Min Jae seeming to dry up- he's a powerhouse and would have been great.
The three alternatives look great thou- here's hoping for one+ of them
