The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Weekend of 19/20th January

[Archibald&Crooks]

This ones a long one - From Headscout - He seems a bit too clued up to be making this up... You make your own minds up... We will know Feb 1st where AVB/THFC stand.

Adding the stuff up that i've been told/seen posted, the Jasper stuff is believeable, but i'm not so sure about this 'Headscout' stuff. I get the Bale leaving bit and up to a point the AVB stuff, hell even the ade stuff. But on its own, I can't see it being as big an issue with Vert and Lloris (yet), unless he means the combination of losing all three/lack of investment would make them unhappy.

In which case he's taking a guess. Although TBF it might be a good guess and if he's right, the beginning of a painful slide. But overall, i'm not paying too much attention to what he's said just yet.

My main problem with all this is that the implication is that we have to spend massive money on Moutinho and Willian to keep AVB happy (I love AVB by the way). I find this hard to believe. He simply must have a list longer than 2 players that we could buy to keep him happy. Moreover, I'm sure that if he's done enough scouting, or if his employed scouts have done their job, he'll know of cheaper talents he might want and may even prefer 2 of the players lower in his list than one at the top, if that's all the club can give him right now.

I made this point earlier, but surely AVB has a list of at least 10 players he thinks will improve the team. Some of whom can be bought for far less than $20 -30m

We simply sing 'AVB's blue and white army' and get behind the team. No time for protests!

I agree, we do noy want to transmit our feelings to the players during this game, a game we need to win.

Summer 2010, when we qualified for the CL we were crying out for a striker. We ended up with just VDV.

We had to play that season with Crouch, Defoe and Pavlyuchenko up top.

We finished 5th that season.

So what was the reason last year when we had Defoe, VdV And Ade? Couldn't be that imbecile we had in charge could it?? So easy to say spend spend spend.

All this ITK is opinion-driven poop IMO. Unless their contact is Levy, AVB, Sherwood, Eales then they don't actually know what goes on in the committee. It's all conjecture and supposition.

 

[the yid]

Jasper has just described the last 4 years with Harry. Each and every transfer window (bar the one where if ENIC got it wrong, then their whole plan would be destroyed)

Times up levy and co. thanks for helping us grow but we've just outgrown you now

Cant see them selling! Not atleast til after the ground

This ones a long one - From Headscout - He seems a bit too clued up to be making this up... You make your own minds up... We will know Feb 1st where AVB/THFC stand.

So....we are either gonna spend £32m or Lloris, Vertonghen, Bale and Adebayor are gonna leave.

I'll give you option 3. Neither of the above!

 

[sam1972]

You go all day waiting for ITK and then it comes and you wish it hadn't.

I'd imagine that players like verts and lloris were sold the idea of living on the Maldives with world class players to follow and titles to compete for but won't hang around when they see levy on the 2p slots at kings club canvey island

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Sound like we can rule out Llorente, Juve seem close...

@tancredipalmeri: Two signings up front for Juventus. Juve manager Conte: "We will sign two forwards, this is what I dealt with the club"

 

[spursfan77]

There needs to be some knid of protest, a sit in at the stadium or something, banners even. I dont knwo, something that will let the board know at any rate. Let Levy know that the fans are on to him and we wont stand for it. Tomorrow, the biggest game of the year bar the scum would be the perfect time and place to let the board know they cant fuck around with OUR club. We are the only true constant in a clubs life. Owners managers, coaches players all come and go, not us.

This isn't right.

The majority of fans don't have a clue all this is going on in my opinion. It's only people like us who go on forums like here and COYS who get to be privy to a tiny bit more than the average fan and we don't know how much of that is true or correct or hidden behind a persons own agenda.

 

[Only 1 Spurs]

In a brighter note..... Cabaye could be the answer in the middle. Especially if Newcastle go down

Levy has a new transfer policy to save a few pennies we have now switched to Fun size mars bars i dont see Newcastle playing ball!!.

 

[RuskyM]

So basically Jasper's ITK shows we're a club at war.

Again.

I repeat: what the fuck was the point of replacing Redknapp if we're not going to support his successor?

 

[playboypaul]

This has upset me. Not happy at all. Want to have words with Levy.

You do wonder why the French No.1 would sign for us....

 

[stormfly]

The latest ITK doesn't look good but I'm not going to rant and rave until the window is over. It's obvious what kind of players we need to sign this month. If we don't get the players in, Levy will know he is the only one to blame. I can't see him not signing the players we need.

[Kalim]

It'll happen at some point. The fact that they have to gamble so much with our aspirations on the field for the good of the bank balance and club value says its now

I love the strides that this club has taken under levy and co. but we are talking about a guy who has made billions trying to penny pinch at our expense. Modric 34m berbatov 32m vdv 11m and soon to be bale 50m. You watch them reinvest 1/4 of that money on replacements

I'm just well and truly fucked off with his fake charades. His wheelbarrows and European scouting missions. It's all baloney unless he then backs the manager.
He didn't back Harry and it looks like he isn't backing AVB. It's just one big front

To be honest Ryan I have always thought your posts were to biased towards Harry and so anti Levy.
Jaspers posts have given us all food for thought.
I think Jan 31 will give us the info to reassess Levy.
Is he as good as most of us thought, or has he got his rep by lucking out?
11 days to prove your self Daniel visionary chairman or scrooge accountant?

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

A huge thanks to those who have been whoring tonight. I mean for ITK you perverts.

It needs to be like the domino effect, (I dont mean pizzas) Everyone tells their mates, and then the mates tell their mates, it won't take long for the fanbase to realise what is going on.
