The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 23rd August 2017

[Luka Van der Bale]

Should be noted that 'signs on the dotted line today' =/= announcement today. Even if he does sign today I'd expect the negotiations with City to go on longer than that. Even if not an announcement today is unrealistic.

Who is Jericho...

You're on the list.

A post from Ben was put in the RO yesterday to say that Balde was not happening.
Today he posted this
I was actually only on a wind up saying no to Jericho hopefully true as what we need but heard nowt

perhaps the post should be removed

Drink it in maaaaaaaaaaaaan

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

Think he may be referring to 1/4

Read the full post - goes on about how big a statement of intent it is and how it's incredible we're able to attract talent like this. It's definitely Sancho; possibly Sessegnon but not Foyth.

I can't really decipher what this means but JJ said it was dead days ago

So he's heard nothing? Meaning both were opinion. Saying hopefully true should have been a dead giveaway as well. Move along, nothing to see here

A&C promised a hard cryptic > Goat starts daily ITK thread 2 days in a row....

I can't find the clues tho!

Any sleuths in this thread ?

Edit: and Rob said we missed one reveal by A&C earlier in the window

yeah the cryptic is A&C on fucking holiday & Rob is using Goat to start the thread

 

[Riandor]

To where!

London! That much we know.

 

[wishkah]

well that was a good 9 mins of work. time to sit in this in thread for 8 hours

Didn't JJ also say that things can always change?

Who is Jericho...

I read on COYS that Jericho is another poster on FTL, who posted a positive update on Keita apparently. So basically BEN is saying that he hasn't heard Balde is a no-go, he hasn't heard anything regarding him.

Morning...

So around three and a half years ago I spent 3 weeks with my wife in an isolation room whilst she went through a stem cell transplant for cancer treatment. At the time, this forum was my escape. Fast forward to the past three weeks and I find myself again in the same room for the same reasons... and again spurs Community and esp. this forum, in all its craziness has kept me sane. So thank you to you all and 20 quid already donated...

 

[Rob]

Why was my original post just deleted?

To sum it up again, Twosips, a Man City ITK was linked an article saying that Jason Sancho going to us for £3 million, and he responded saying:

"He's already gone"

If he's considered ITK on there, I'd probably suggest sticking that in the Read Only forum just like we do with other established ITKs.

Sorry mods I know this is not the thread for it but I really hope all works out the best it can mate. I'm sure everyone will agree their thoughts are with you. Hope a signing or two roll in for you

Signing Sancho, widely regarded as a future star, from an oil club like City would be a huge statement from us. Not in a spunking £200m on players kind of way, just in a Spurs is the place to be for quality youngsters to be kind of way.

Done! Awaiting approval ATM.

You might want to add his follow up post:

Sancho to Spurs today. Bit gutted given his potential, but c'est la vie.

I posted the follow up but it was also deleted. You might want to delete that too before Rob deletes it.

Cheers.

We're currently trying to decide what to do about ITK from other (non-spurs) sites. I thought we'd previously allowed stuff from RAWK, etc in the RO but I think I was wrong and there's some concern we could end up with any old rubbish in there if we're not careful.
