The Weekend ITK Discussion Thread 27/28 July 2013

I just hope Billy White didn't get his bracket the wrong way around, lol.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

I can't stop laughing at what a twat I just looked asking for it to be posted in our Soldado thread. Didn't spot the mid sentence smiley. As the kids say, sozlol.

 

[Garyspurs]

I haven't heard of him before. Any others he got right? Any errors?

He posted yesterday just saying that Levy was back in the UK. He's a new ITK who doesn't frequently post but when he does it seems to be right.

Impossible. The grammar cozzers would have laid a hand on his shoulder.

 

[Francis Gibbs]

We clearly enjoy different ITKs. It shouldn't really be a problem though should it.

We do however both support the same football team so lets just get along.

Over analysing any ITK will be the death of people - just enjoy the ride and keep the salt handy

haha join the club mate

 

[Drexl]

Not getting excited till any official announcement but if he signs it will be the best striker signing since Klinsmann, bring it on

 

[Lilbaz]

Then it wouldn't be "in the know" now would it it would be called " already known" surely?

Great news today with what amounts to a double confirmation that the goal machine that is known as Soldado is a dead cert to make all our dreams (wet or dry) come true next season.

Rejoice i say!......break out the bubbly and go get pissed as a racehorse!

Never been happier since Klinsmann signed.

Think it's in the know. On the know makes them sound like information prostitutes.

Yeah that jjs on the know, he's been on the know for years.

Klinsmann's signed?!

 

[ParkySpur]

Thanks wpd.

It sounds like that deal suits everyone, as you say. It will also help us send out a message. If it looks like we have paid close to €30m on a striker, it will tell everyone we are serious players this summer.

But no doubt people will instead presume we are spending Bale money!

Since Crouch*

Dunno about you, but my hand's going to be salty if we keep getting juicy positive info.

 

[BC11]

Only has 12 posts on COYS but all of the ITK he's posted has been proved to be correct.
Fuck he's just posted in the Bale thread

 

[worcestersauce]

Cheers WPD' so can we just set up a sort of holding account into which Real Madrid can pay the Modric installments and out of which we can pay the Soldado installments, Spanish Euros in and out no exchange rate nonsense
Ok a little bit jokey but I wouldn't be surprised if the Modric installments had a bearing on our Soldado installments leaving our capital pile looking very healthy.

 

[Mullers]

and i'll never get to ride a unicorn.

We'll end up chasing one until deadline day though.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

I may be wrong but didn't an ITK say Franco agreed personal terms with Soldado when he was is Spain? If so then us agreeing a fee means he's ours

I thought it was confirmed that he wanted to come to Spurs as we had tried last season to get him and that he didn't want a move to the Bin Dippers?

Anyway done deal and now i guess the next question is who's next?

 

[Pringle]

There's your problem. Believe nothing. Take it ALL with a pinch of salt. I'm not sure how many times it needs saying. Nobody pretends this thread is a perfect place and we do look into everything once the window closes and have lost several ITK's in the past who we feel aren't right. If you're not happy then i'm sorry about that, but for now, if I were you, i'd leave it there.

I agree with you generally but the part I have highlighted is a strange comment - if posters say that they dont believe something then they can be banned for "ITK bashing"!

 

[ParkySpur]

U

Use a tissue.

 

[nailsy]

What? How does that work? You can't judge someone of they say we're close on people that we're at least linked with, but he used to call people done that we weren't even linked with! How can you not judge that!?

Every ITK has said that a deal is done and got it wrong at some stage. I can't remember specific details about stuff the Journo has posted but I don't think he is a WUM.Chances are that he has more than one source and some of his info may be more informed than some of his other stuff. I do know that his presence here makes the site a better place though and that slating him isn't at all helpful.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Hmm but he can't play every game and there is no ITK about a second striker.

Shit, shit, shit......................i was just about to log off as well................
