The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Twitterati - 10th January

[gazzeh]

There's the RO forum itself where all actual ITK should be as well as A&Cs "live" thread for the important stuff. If I were you I'd give them a quick glance first if you want a roundup.

If we could get someone to do a twice daily roundup that'd be superb (I think steve (?) did a great job of that a few windows ago) but it's a lot of effort.

I don't mind doing it. I'm on here ALL DAY

I had a dream last night that the wife bought me a new Spurs shirt, the home one, I lifted it out of the bag and it had Damião 9 on the back of it!! Woke up in a cold sweat!! Oh and I never remmeber my dreams, all probably BS from reading the shit on here but I also woke up with an erection this morning.... coincidence? Well probably as I usually wake up with at least a semi but I am taking this as ITK, do with it as you please .

Cool, it might take a few of you to keep it updated but start a thread in here (I guess around lunchtime) and give it a go

A&C absolutely is not SpiggyTope. Or me, for that matter. It shouldn't be too difficult to work out though. Practically Told you himself.

Are we that desperate that we are getting cryptics for members of SC rather than transfer targets?





Oh, we are?! Ok, carry on.

 

[Riandor]

I guess that signing holtby in jan would probably mean that dempsey will be used as a forward in Ade absence. And we won't sign a striker this month.

It could be precautionary...
Our other dealings might not be progressing as planned and to ensure we don't get caught out we might decide to take a small hit and bring Holtby in earlier to ensure we have adequate players for all positions (such as keeping Dempsey as a striker).

It could also be for other reasons, like Schalke not wanting to keep a player who is leaving anyway and thus concluding a deal with us that suits all parties (us having a player earlier, and for them a little cash).

I do hope that a few of other players are loaned or sold out too as a result (and the cash for Holtby might well be raised by loans or selling fees, thus meaning a net spend of 0).

I'm not too happy about transfers being done by committee especially when it's only going to be AVB that suffers if they don't work out.

Jasper is spot on

Chaps, i realise im probably missing someone super obvious, but who is TS? (Please be Tony Soprano... Please be Tony Soprano...)

Ahh, I see what you did there. Practically Told = practically old without a T. A&C is practically old and if he doesn't get his daily T-bagging he gets really friggin' grumpy.





Yeah it's PT.

I don't really see the point in you spending ages on that. Anything relevant gets put into the Ticker. You'd just be summarising the drivel. Until the ITK picks up that is. Thanks though

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Oh and yeah Tim Sherwood.

 

[Insomnia]

we've all got onions some my onion rings truer than most though
hmmm onion rings

duly noted, I'll keep working on it.

Yeah, that's what I do, I put it at the bottom of my post. Still had to read thru lots of crap in here tho.

Anyhoo, Holtby now would be great for us, we need to add a new dimension so we don't get easy to figure out, I think he'd give us a few different options.

 

[Cloudio Brown]

AVB always said Dempsey was seen as a striker when he signed.

so that means 1 thing , he won't buy a striker ?

Some say he's an admin on spurscommunity, all we know is he's called the spig...

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

We've tried several ways of modding this thread, ranging from heavy handed to no handed and a little in between and no matter which way we do it, we either get (valid) complaints about too much drivel/off topic stuff or people telling us that we're too iron fisted. I think there will always be drivel, but in between there's some really funny banter to lighten things up so it isn't all bad.

 

[gazzeh]

Who are you asking that question? In fairness, I think Daniel is the only person that knows the answer.

Couple of Snippets from SO last night.

Archibald on Holtby


Jasper on who conducts our transfers



(CR is Chris Ramsey)

Re Holtby, I think we can put to bed us signing Moutinho then. I know they play different posiitions in midfield but I cant see both coming into the 25 man squad. Not that I believe we are really in for Moutinho anyway.
