The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 20th June 2013

When does the blasted Confederations Cup finish? Reckon that the end of that is the earliest we'll hear anything concrete on anyone who's playing in it, and as our targets all seem to be there I don't expect much to happen until then.

S'only 10 days...

And then i'd imagine they'll be on holiday for a couple of weeks thereafter so might have to wait that bit longer.

A&C, I'd be very wary of continually masking jokes at POTL's expense. They are fiercely proud and protective of him so I can't imagine it fostering good relations between the 2 sites.

 

[Breezer]

Not sure why people think we would have to for the Confederations cup to finish. If we agree a fee with his Club and agree terms with his agent, then that can happen today, tomorrow or maybe it's already happened! I'm sure Paulinho would squeeze in some time to sign the paperwork.

Yeah you tell that mod what to do!

And didn't Livermore say he had signed for QPR but deal was called off after Parkers injury? I might just be making that up but I vaguely remember it.

Then they should think about that themselves before allowing it. JJ is an SC'er and it works both ways.

Who cares really

 

[ealingspur]

Yeah you tell that mod what to do!

a) he didnt tell the mod to do, he suggested something.
b) the mods aren't gods. the rules to not insult ITK is to not discourage the ITK from divulging info. If a mod insulting an ITK will prevent the thousands of people on this site from access to ITK, I think it's only fair that the rule extends to them too.

Ah I was unaware they were insulting ours!

Certainly my recollection of events last window - or as we are led to believe the ever changing world of ITK

As we all want something to believe in, not sure why we have to continually knock the messenger on this one

It's more the fact that agents will be aware that the Confederations Cup, for all its pointlessness, is putting these players in the shop window so they'll want to wait until the end to see if more bidders come in.

I'm wondering if the news that we are planning to keep Defoe has been leaked just to keep his value up so that we can get maximum value if/when we sell him?

Devious but plausible?

Personally I would guess that POTL has the highest success rate by miles. Even with the 'Yellow' it is obvious we must have been chasing him the whole time with Internacional changing their requests each time. I can't remember POTL ever being completely wrong like the others and is always spot on with injury news. Might be a sixth sense but he and Archibald are the only ones where I really feel they know a lot

Nope but we are damn well the next best thing

All hail me

Agreed! But i'm fairly confident we will sign Paulinho pretty soon. Let hope it won't take another 3 years for a striker!

 

[Ionman34]

His agent and club will be working hard to ensure that someone does 'a Chelsea on us' as they want to make the maximum amount of money possible.

Isn't that idea negated by the buy out clause?

'Micah Richards will be a Spurs player.'

'Eden Hazard is joining Man City'

'Lassana Diarra - Deal'

'Dark Blue - M'Vila'

Yeah he's never got anything wrong...
