The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Billy Joel Edition 21st August 2013

[Bulletspur]

It's like we've been taken over and gone absolutely nuts!

I don't think we'll top this window for activity in a long while mind you and you know the same people will be crawling out to have a pop at Levy for not spending in January time!

Sad but true.

Last season we didnt have Baldini - this year we do! You do the maths! He has been a massive success. Sherwood out?

Sherwood is part of the team, part of the team Levy et al put together. He is part of Spurs. Why the fcuk would we want rid?

 

[base615]

Can somebody summarise today for me? The Essenden doping scandal over here is taking all my time away from rumours of Willian, Lamela etc. As big as this year's transfers are this AFL crisis has suddenly become bigger

 

[Riandor]

Anyone think if Friday is a deadline and Bale is told he is definitely not leaving; we will give him a new bumper contract? Not something I necessarily agree with but something that might happen.

I am assuming there is one on the table already for him to sign if he chooses.

 

[Rob]

Oh and donate to the wonderful SC of course

I just heard from A&C and he said we'd rather the photos

Not in the ITK thread though, rules are rules!! We would have to open a new thread just for the occasion.

I want to donate, I am on a computer, but not getting the front page. When I enter the site it goes straight to Forums. No yellow donation key. Help.

It should be on every page that has a sidebar, so click Forums for example and it should be there on the right. You need to be using the correct site design though "SC2012 - no background". A few people are using the older one "SC2012". If you change that (link in the footer) then you'll be on the correct design and should see the link.

The Goat provided us w/ a nice update that there has been no deal for Bale and it doesn't look like Madrid have the $$$ to pull one off in the immediate future.

An updated that there will be a press conference this morning, but, like all press conference rumors, it didn't come off.

POTL and Grey Fox saying Willian is done and dusted, expect announcement sometime today hopefully.

Baldini is supposedly on a flight on Madrid. Not for Bale, but assumed it is for Coentrao, who Ryan mentioned wants to join but is asking top dollar on his salary.

 

[markieboy]

Baldini must be knackered with the huge amount of work Levy has given him.
Holy shit,what an introduction to your new job!
I think HE will definitely be glad when the Transfer window closes so he can catch up on some sleep.

 

[Blackrat1299]

Coentrao wants to join but wants and expects top dollar. he will need persuading I believe

He will get it the £ is greater than the euro

It seems like Levy, Baldini, AVB and Sherwood sound like the best team we've ever had when it comes to transfer dealings. So there's no need to get rid of anyone.

 

[onthetwo]

Just been chatting to a couple of Gooners and asked them how all their new signings were bedding in...all I got back was have you signed Bales leaving card yet. I said I had to sign all the welcome ones first.
Left feeling smug

remind them that we're about to break out transfer record for the third time this summer and ask them if theirs was AC or BC!

I never would have believed Bale has been injured for so long in the run up and until now, but I guess this can be true? He was so fit last season...hmmm.

 

[patrickcoys]

I just dont see the need for him. Plus I didnt like the way it seemed he undermined AVB when he first came in (Based on ITK) I dont trust the fella personally. Thats why the Fcuk!

 

[mil1lion]

If Bale were to end up staying, surely our aggression in the transfer market, which has demonstrated huge ambition, would soften the blow for him - if he doesn't get the move this summer.

I mean the thought of Willian, Soldado and Bale ahead of three out of the four beasts we have is frigging insane. Mouth watering stuff.

If Bale stays he may not even get a game at this rate

I kid I kid. But I doubt he would moan too much. He'll be disappointed no doubt but he loves his football too much to sulk through the season. He would thrive with these new signings and the quality we already have around him. In fact it will also take the pressure off him to be the main man.

 

[EastLondonYid]

After a cracking day yesterday.....just donated as promised...

I think we could do better than Sherwood personally! He seemed to undermine and leak info re AVB when he commenced the role.

 

[Sally_G]

This window has been totally ridiculous, and this forum has been incredible. Well done everyone, and i'll be sticking a little donation in at the end of the month.

I'm naturally pessimistic about anything Spurs related, and even though we're losing our talismanic football machine (probably), it doesn't seem so bad. Levy, Baldini, AVB and A&C have got everything right so far.

Amazing.

 

[Misfit]

If we sign Will AND Lemela, I'm going run round the outside of my house, wearing only a spurs scarf and hat

Oh and donate to the wonderful SC of course, without it, it would not be half as exciting.

Heh, I've just donated without that. I guess that makes me a better person.

I think my best quality is modesty though. I don't like to blow my own trumpet.

Loooooooooooooooooooove meeeeeeee everyone.
