The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - GOING UNDERGROUND 3rd August

[SonicSarr]

Are not the only two relevant current pieces of ITK these:

1) JJ is happier with developments than he was the day before.
2) The club is on a lockdown.

Basically we are working on stuff and we will probably only find out when it is done. The rest is pure speculation. I for one am none the wiser as whether we have ever had any interest in Lloris or contact with his club, the same goes for all of the other names mentioned despite weeks of titbits and endless discussions in here. Thankfully Goodwood has provided a welcome distraction from the ITK as there has basically been nothing concrete and everyone is going nuts.

Weird I know but my mate is a Liverpool fan that's just got back from holland talk is Ajax are looking at bassong?

 

[Gardham90]

Hopefully things progress over the weekend

Bassong would be a good signing for Ajax, they won't be looking to spend much on him though,I feel

Right lads,ive got the crappiest piece of itk in the history of itk,whilst passing the entrance to the new training ground,i noticed two official looking blokes in suits waiting by the main gates.remembering i should be paying attention to driving, I looked back to the road and very nearly crashed into the back of a blacked out people carrier that was reversing the wrong way down the road,having clearly missed the entrance.it was chauffeur driven as the driver(moron) had his window down ,i could only see silhouettes in the back, but I think it's fair to say that someone important is getting a guided tour of the new training ground as we speak.
I told u it was crap.

Probably that prince the other ITK mentioned earlier on? I've forgotton what he was the prince of, some arabic country?


EDIT:

Right, it wasn't on this site, I read it over on the Fighting Cock, this must be like 3rd hand ITK so take it with a maaahhhhhoooosive grain of salt.

ITK POSTED ON DML:

Not sure why but a post I sent earlier didn't appear to make it through, but below is basically what I said at the time (around 2.30pm)

Nipped to the Spurs store at WHL where I used to work and so I managed to catch up with a few old colleague who still work there. In amongst all the chat I got a few snippets of info about the what's going on (i.e. the third kit is definitely that black-and-grey kit we've all seen leaked) but there was one bit that really intrigued me. When talking about our the reported new-found money I told them a couple of rumours I had heard which could account for this (1. that Joe Lewis has apparently decided to pay for the new stadium out of his own money, and 2. the naming rights have already been agreed etc.). One of my friends then told me that the Prince of Brunei was scheduled to arrive at WHl at 3pm and be shown round. Now of course this could mean absolutely nothing, but at the same time I found it quite interesting and felt that I should pass this on. Like I said, I sent this message (albeit slightly more condensed as I didn't have much time) earlier but having checked back here just now I can't see it anywhere...

I had heard the investment was possibly coming from Qatar Airlines and was going to be something to do with the new stadium. Can't remember where I'd heard that though.

I think we could facilitate a straight swap and help them out, Bassong for Eriksen!!

 

[HappySpur]

Well the crown prince Al-Muhtadee Billah was a goalkeeper, so maybe there's a reason Lloris fell through

Weird. I thought Amsterdam had tightened up on its cannabis laws.

Next time just crash into them if they look important, they will probably get out to shout and thus reveal their identity! Would be glourious ITK! I'm sure you can do without your no claims bonus!

Gb 160, I like what you've posted purely coz of the reponse kythg gave. Added a bit of, I don't know, je ne sais quoi to your "shit I nearly crashed"story

 

[cockeral]

Do all twitter itk feed posts go in here now that the other thread is now closed for business?

Usually it's just akqa or JJ tweets, unless it's corroborated in a really thorough fashion I assume?

 

[HappySpur]

personally i think its fairly easy to see the items that have been copied and pasted from the t*****t site directly. So even if there is chat about its easy to skim read to the juicy stuff

Please don't. They honestly will shut this down. All twitter can go in individual player threads or the Summer Transfer Roundup in General Football if it doesn't have anything to do with us.
