The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Get in There!/Oh Woe is Me Edition 28th August 2013

[devastated]

I saw that too. Just hope he hasn't been so indoctrinated to pass that he forgets to shoot.

he was in a classic jd position for a turn and shot-how many times have we seen him bury it from there...........so strange

 

[dangreen]

I can't bring myself to make any predictions on this transfer window for us.......my default Spurs pessimism - doom and gloom seems strangely misplaced. I need to find something new to moan about!!

The 3 could easily be lamela, vlad and eriksen.

It can't be Lamela. He was confirmed by Rome at least an hour before Atlanta posted.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Find it near impossible there is no chance of Ade going.

He is on big wages, isn't a 'squad' player and was off-form last season.

I'd be all for keeping him if it wasn't for those aforementioned reasons, especially the one in bold. If we're going to aim top 4 + we need great team spirit and togetherness.

But before he got the info?

It was everywhere by then. He must be talking about 3 other players. Which makes sense as Vlad and Erikesen are advanced and Coentrao is rumored to be part of the Bale transfer

That's probably why we can't get rid of him!

With regards to Siggy going and Eriksen coming, I wouldn't mind.

I was a staunch defender of Siggy all last season but I can't help feeling he's let his 'supporters' down in terms of justifying his place in the side.

There's no denying his talent but he can't seem to find a specific role in our team and just looks lost at times when he's out on the pitch.

If we can get £10 million roughly I'd take it.

However if we get Eriksen on top of Lamela, reckon it might be Lennon or Townsend leaving as Lamela will be playing on right be it 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1.

Now that's ITK. The best 'random fan meets player' kind.

With that haircut, Lamela looks like Tintin.

I know Lamela has played behind the striker before, I imagine that's not where AVB will want him but who knows. I hope they don't sell Townsend, he's so young and promising.

jd when he came on sunday took down a long ball brilliantly and instead of having a go laid it off, I was astonished to see it

is he finally learning to bring others into the game?

TBH I would have Defoe, someone who actually wants to wear the shirt in my squad other than that Petulant **** GB.

This is not sour grapes, I would have wished him well on his move before he started playing these chav antics

 

[Greenspur]

Is that no chance in him leaving or no chance he's staying? If it's the latter, a comma would come in handy there.

Commas, and other such punctuation marks, seem to be in short supply here. I often have to read posts several times, in order to understand them.
As for apostrophes!
Then there's: there/their, of/have, and so on.
Shaw, Wilde, Orwell, and all their ilk would turn in their graves - if they were dead, of course, which fortunately they aren't.
What? Oh, sorry everybody - continue as you were..

 

[Oshi]

I just worry about players kicking up a fuss about not getting playing time...........

Make a lovely change having quality whining and not dross

 

[EJWTartanSpur]

That'll teach me to not spend 4 hours blindly hacking my way round a golf course, been playing catch up for the entire rest of the day !

RM loan has to be Kaka. Ozil won't go he will rotate with Isco and easily get 30 plus games. I'm sure he also probably thinks he can win his place back if he plays to his potential and he also has the ability to fill more than one position

 

[HobbitSpur]

I have a feeling that we might be getting a more mature striker in, a class act looking for a swan song season or 2. Would fit well as a back up the the soldier!!

Oh that pic has to be fake! Terminal 5???? That's BA's terminal. No ***way*** DL would have sprung for that ticket!

Unless our transfer funds are now so full that we can fly everyone in on a real airline, but come on, how likely is that?

Right... 2 or 3 more. This is ridiculous!

Read the posts in a Kimi Raikkonen accent. Kimi doesn't like commas.

I think that deserves RO

Always love these kind of ITK
