The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - MORE MADNESS! 15th August 2012

Great stuff stoof, quality read, appreciate that.
sounds accurate to me.

haha i said to Stoof that you might have some critiquing, your prior words on LOCs was pretty in depth.

 

[wpd659]

It's increasingly hard to take an ITK seriously when they refer to their source as their biatch ITK and substitute the word really with rele

TBF the reason i use biatch is coz there was a vote a while back and the outcome of the vote was to refer to my source as "my biatch ITK"
Sorry about that!

And for the spelling i was just being lazy tbh! No excuse! I will try harder in future just for you

 

[TOPHOTSPUR]

So, Leandro to assnal then. You. Just. Know. It.

Or Llorente

 

[beats1]

The truth is since JJ has been on twitter he has actually posted fuck all. He has shared privately and trust me he has got a lot right if you then beleive the media.

Potl's post today is spot on. But bar the modric DONE its not new to me.

JJ and Potl clearly both have excellent links. I'm certain that as soon as modric completes his move and all is in fact agreed, we will see JJ actually post

I asked JJ this question but since he didnt reply you might as well tell me, who do you think I should put in fantasy football team for this weekend, Kane or Defoe?

 

[RuskyM]

Arsenal won't sign any other strikes - that's why they've bought in Giroud & Podolski.

Now that United have 5 strikers...#hernandez4spurs

 

[etchedchaos]

Or Llorente

They bought Podolski and Giroud for this exact reason.

 

[Spursare]

Goal and out injured for Damiao...



Edit: he's back again

Apart from the names in the press has he named any other players?

I would fricking love that. Fergie would never sell us a good player though. He even loans us scrubbers.

 

[Misfit]

Or Llorente

Maybe. They do offer outrageous wages.

As for assnal not signing another striker - well Podolski plays wide, maybe he gets shifted centrally but eh. 2 strikers is hardly stacked and they have £20m to play with. Let's hope they don't fuck up any of our potential signings.

 

[Wellspurs]

I asked JJ this question but since he didnt reply you might as well tell me, who do you think I should put in fantasy football team for this weekend, Kane or Defoe?

I'm wondering what combination, Kaboom, Verts, Daws or Gallas?

If we get~ £30m for Luka to go with £12m for the other two Croats + £4m for Peanut= £46m - £16m for Sig+Verts.
Means we have £30m to add to any war chest, can we afford Ade, LD and a midfielder?

Thought it was a good read : )

All what I mentioned was by memory, but thought as I knew what was being said, it would help clarity wise to everyone reading, hope it did!

So good news then, re: what you was saying being drawn up, you are our newest ITK ; )

 

[paulcumpstone]

I wouldn't, he was no more than average at best last season, hence why they have signed RVP.

Podolski played striker, not wide for Köln.

 

[spursirish]

with LD injured now how does that lie

 

[Indisguise]

I absolutely cannot bear the idea of Leandro being a Gooner.

i sit on the FX side of a deal team. So i get cc'd into "Credit Meetings" and other stuff. I don't get to see a lot of stuff as a) not my business and b) might be a chinese wall. but i know a LOC was being discussed in the meeting and was issued / prepared so as you pointed out a bid was made / accepted. my role will be when the gbp is converted into whatever it may be.

someone stated it could have been for training facilities etc. but its 100% for players as it went through the transfers team (yup, we have a special footie trade team).

an ITK would say something like, "big bid placed, expect an imminent signing, wooow this is a biggie". as i don't know any of the details or timings i'm not that stupid. What i've quite enjoyed doing is talking Stoof through how some of the finance aspects fit together to help people form ideas. aka if modric loc goes through does that mean we can now re-issue the flow for new incomings. you'll know from reading the piece there are other aspects to consider and other financy bits. but its good to be able to provide some insight. at least i know when some of the ITKs are lying....

Fair enough. I wonder if they go after Sahin then. They seem to have cooled on M'vila. Either way. Damn them having money to spend.

 

[Spurger King]

Badly?

 

[Misfit]

He might not be good enough for Yanited but neither was Berbatov. The guy scores 1 in 3 after going in and out of the team and you write him off? Not even worth considering as a second striker?
