The Daily ITK Discussion Thread Aug 16 2012 - THE SMALL KNIGHT RISES

[sunnydelight786]

Ramirez and saldaldo have both said they turned us down, do they count as itk or does jj have to confirm?

According to Villas-Boas we never did bid for either of them.....

La Juventus se suma al interés por el delantero togolés del Tottenham, Emmanuel Adebayor.

Translates to- Juventus interest is added to the Togolese striker for Tottenham, Emmanuel Adebayor.
Seems like a scare tactic to me. But make of that what you will..

They can have Ade if we get Llorente.

Oh dear. What's the opposite of meltdown? Freeze-up?

If we're not careful we could really freeze up this window.

Lets forget about getting someone in before 12 tomorrow and to be honest Im quite embarrassed as spurs fan to be going into the first game of season in this situation yet again, there really is no excuse for this to happen 2 years running.

Any chance of a riot in Newcastle????

Cesar/Lloris M'Villa/Moutinho Adam Johnson Ade/Leandro/Llorente Seems the lines will go through some of them very very soon

  Seems like Adam Johnson is a cert then given the lack of / alternatives, then one of either of the others in each position. Or am I misreading this?

I think Adam Johnson is dependent on whether we have money left over from other transfer's as although we do need wing cover/competition it is by no means a priority compared to bringing in strikers and a luka''Doesnt deserve capitals''modric replacement

 

[ohh Teddy Teddy]

Isn't AJ very similar to Dos Santos though? but then again them 2 as competition for Bale and Lennon is very tasty indeed. Aslong as we get Dos Santos firing and into some good form.

If Juve wants Adebayor now then they might feel Llorente is going elsewhere. There's no chance Juve would divert attention away from Llorente for Adebayor unless they whiffed on him.

#Spurs want #Moutinho and Moutinho wants Spurs, but Porto must lower asking price. Potential deadline day deal.

Respect this guy, aways seems to come up with the goods. Dont like the word potential though, make of it what you will.

Careful posting that in here rather than the "Twitter" thread! A&C may still be wearing that large strap-on

 

[Indisguise]

I wonder whether JJ means Adebayor will happen in the near future and that someone else (Damiao I would think) will take a bit longer? That would fit in with some of the ITK we've had.

Slim Shainy on FTL re: Llorente (his friend knows the Bilbao chairman):

I think we are speaking to bilbao again regarding llorente. slim chance of us agreeing a price but fingers crossed

Dragon1 in response:

Slim we've been speaking to him on and off for two years his 120k a week wage demand have always been the issue

Dragon1 in response:

If we can make Ade's wages work, surely we can fit in Llorente's as they are fairly similar?

 

[Berbatonghen]

Listen if you was levy and hear that Llorente is available and mayyyybe just mayyyybe gettable would you want to try ? (knowing its just juve in for him with no other big clubs)
For sure i would and if we are offering adebayor along the lines of 100k a week with bonuses then i dont see why we cant go for FL. I got a feeling maybe this is why we been taking long with the striking situation.

(praying to the gods for Llorente)

Yet i know i am fooling myself ..

JJ please pooh pooh Llorente so we can move on from this dream ffs

 

[playboypaul]

Well, looks like its going to be all about dealine day signings at this rate.

Better get prepared....

I fear AVB's going to miss out on his No.1 target two years running.

Can't be arsed to explain the details but the answer to this is question begins in n and ends in o.

Dragon1 in response:

Haven't all the media reports pointed towards Llorente actually wanting a lot less than our ITKs keep suggesting? Reports have said he's on £40,000 a week.
