Do i think we'd sign the Bale of today you ask? Well fuck me no....but why not ask the same about Messi?

"Oi Mr Messi come play for Spurs we have a shiny new training facility we call The Gin Palace and fuck all in the Trophy cabinet worth a shit since 1984. .....that"l really swing his decision......

Success breeds success on the pitch and not nice new shiny buildings that promise that quite possibly, maybe, a player worth a shit will roll off the production line.

You seem to be missing the point. We won't be able to attract to class talent at their peak without the best facilities.
I agree winning stuff is also important and once upon a time that was probably enough on its own. But now there's different tranches of clubs

There's the bottom feeders who might be able to get a top player on loan for a year. Think weedy Ham with Tevez.

There's the top dogs. The man uniteds and Barcelona's with vast wealth and history and current success.

Then there's us. Not huge funds. But the best of the rest. No real success to tempt the top class players nor the ability to pay them insane amounts of money to get them.
What we can offer them is state of the art training and medical facilities so they can go from wanna be players into top class athletes.

We need to have something as an alternative to money in order to appeal to players.

A new training ground would appeal to Higuain? Sign him up.

Transfer window has become so dull, can't wait for the first game of the season.

There really is so little ITK now, even though the start of the week was great!!!

I kept this lot on sky plus to help me get through the summer lol....United away, West Ham away, Arsenal home, City home....all full re runs :) (doubt the United one will ever leave my Sky plus)

If we're negotiating for Benteke I can imagine everything else is on hold for the time being as we wait to see how much we have available to spend on anyone else.

True enough dude. Just meant in a general sense I guess since the start of the season.

I think there has been a severe crackdown on ITK, a sort of Omerta. I think this is a sign of the future, dead bodies and no info! :eek:

Met my contacts tomight.

It's two for ten pumds at the bar.

Ill keep probing for info.


After seeing this, and knowing a few more drinks are sure to come, I am completely stoked for a potential update.

It will be an all new type of cryptic. The ITK-wrapped-in-a-drunken-slur-cryptic. Brilliant!
