Good morning ITK'ers. Nice to see you, to see you...........Fuck you then. Miseable bunch.

Thought i'd give the thread a long overdue refresh, which i'll carry on doing from time to time until we get into the full swing of things.

A few things to get out of the way

No Twitter in here. That and resulting discussion that it might generate can go into the player threads. No Tweets from Akqayid etc anywhere.

A&C Thinks that: We'll make one or two very quick signings once the season has ended. I'd say between mid June first week of July. This is the summer where a few questions get answered. Leandro. Moutinho. My brain hurts.

Anyway, i'll refresh again in a few days and i'll start refreshing this thread daily once it picks right up, with my Daily ITK updates getting into full swing soon after.

Hoping we may hear some more itk soon that will lift our spirits.

Hope for early signings - the season starts before transfer deadline day.
Levy's fence-sitting has cost us hugely in the past

Think Benteke would be a great signing but I suppose we'll see what happens!!

So Benteke then eh! I think he would be an excellent signing & has had a brilliant first season! Always will be the question marks regarding the "second season syndrome"!

Summer has begun....

1st test match of the summer and a shiney new ITK discussion forum.

Gentlemen (and ladies) start your meds for the rollercoaster ride that is a SC transfer window.

More fun than swapping your bi-polar girlfriends meds for Speed.

"You know this club is very active in the last weeks of the transfer window, so you can see that speculation is growing here and there, but at the moment we are focused on trying to get the fourth spot.”

That is all you need to know guys, our major business will not be done until the last week or so of the transfer window. That's straight from the horses mouth!!!

I like his refusal to confirm any rumours. Having been at Chelscum for those few months he has worked out that they will try and hijack any deal we are involved by just throwing more money at the target. Hence the variation of "I don't know about that one".

EDIT: IIRC AVB has denied a rumour the day before the signing took place, but my aching head can't dredge up the date or player!

The new itk doesn't really give a lot away.

We might be interested but he might be talking to someone else so who really knows.

I've missed you A&C, you old deviant! Pink handcuffs and a trip to your silk and leather cellar for the most foolish posters this window?

Um... gulp... [must discuss the ITK]. That's right, er... Villa... yes yes... Villa! Would be a sensational signing if AVB could pull it off. I really don't believe a word that comes out of AVB's mouth when it comes to transfers though. Good man.

potl on bale 170k/week story
Sounds like a confident POTL. £170k too little or too much I wonder? Would Levy ever pay anyone £170k per week? I suppose it's possible when Gareth is considered to be one of the three best players in the world these days. I wonder what sort of income such a high profile player generates?

"You know this club is very active in the last weeks of the transfer window, so you can see that speculation is growing here and there, but at the moment we are focused on trying to get the fourth spot.”

This is possibly one of the worst, if true, pieces of ITK news this summer. This strategy of buying late is just idiotic, ok VDV was great but a one off. The reality is that bringing in players late, disrupts the team, gives them no time to settle or learn the clubs playing ethos... All in all its bad news (if true). It's just not the way to build a team. If a VDV turns up on the last day/days that fantastic but you don't wait all summer to then run out of time and buy Dempsey if you want to move up in the world.

Too true, everyone loves a last minute VDV for peanuts, but I'd have to agree with you that some aspects of Levy's philosophy are wearing a wee bit thin.
