The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 14th June 2013

[Hoopspur]

I'm hoping for a calmer day in here and a decent bit of juicy ITK today! No chance of either I suppose!


Love you all.

Edit - Oh, and no ITK on it, but I'd love some goals from the wing...

 

[WestBelfast Spurs]

IF (massive if) we sell Bale to RM we should put a clause in that if Ron should leave we get 1st craic for 60 million

 

[Yid-ol]

Man Utd want to spend, according to BBC Gossip, £85M for Bale AND £34M for Cesc, and hinting that C Ronaldo on his way there too

so close to £150M spend then

Wasnt it they will go for Bale if they cant get Ronaldo, and not want both?

 

[ohwhenthespurs]

The 'other one' clearly means that Rivaldo is back on and the delay is due to he and Levy conversing via letter.

On a serious note, little B needs tying up before the conf cup otherwise we'll have another Oscar on our hands.

Quite. Which I imagine is why Bernard is saying he won't agree to go anywhere until after the Libertadores. Waiting for the bigger, and better paying, fishies methinks

I know for sure where the "Spurs dont want Leandro anymore" story comes from.

Its THFC publicity machine. I know a Journo who said he was told this by someone at the club without even asking.

Anyone else think it may be Levy playing Inter at their own game?

Be just about right for Levy to sign the boy for £12m, less that 6 months after agreeing to pay £17m

We're signing Leandro for £5m

Yep, definitely - think it was highly suspicious that all the journos seemed to bring out the 'no more interest' line from us at the same time as if it had been fed to them. Well, the 'devoted stalker' tactic hasn't worked for us...maybe playing hard to get will?

I do hope this thread develops into a lengthy list of Brazilians who aren't Leandro.

That would make excellent reading for everyone.

Think it is just one of those places where a comma is very important.

You mean it isn't already?

I think you have to mention a Brazillian for the site to let you post today.

Fred.

He must be out if contract soon, we'll get him for free!!

the concern is that if, and I repeat if, this is Levys approach all that is likely to happen is that it will drag on and on until the close of the window with us facing the real prospect of being left high and dry again without a striker after having played 3 games of the new season and dropping another 7 or so points - if he is the main target then stop facking about and do a deal

 

[michaelden]

I think we all know that it's silly buggers being played at the moment. But he does seem short of suitors and, if that is the case, they don't really have a lot of ammo to bargain with

 

[mark87]

Maybe its just Levy trying to drive the price down a bit so we can fund for both Leandro and Bernard.

That's of course assuming they wish/want/need to sell. At a certain figure you keep don't you?

Last nights ITK from the Goat about Baldini is good to hear. Hopefully he will be announced soon.

Maybe he hasn't been announced yet as he is looking at some players and while he is unattached from a club it just looks like he is watching the football and not actually scouting for a club. If other teams knew he was working for us then they might step up their interest in the players as well.

Just a thought

 

[The Goat]

Good moaning
