The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 26 August 2010

[Archibald&Crooks]

Champions League here we come! I'm gonna be glued to SSN this afternoon when the CL draw takes place! Great night last night. Stoof even made it on the telly, waving his flag about......

Yesterday I opened my wheelie bin and a wasp flew out.
What kind of sick fucker would throw a wasp in a bin?

Right, on with the ITK......

Scutch whored this early doors from FTL.......

Looking forward to the responses to this.
Fabiano might not necessarily be cuptied in CL.
I know we've had it confirmed to the contrary but thought I would chuck it in the mix.
Nothing to back it up but apparently his illegibility could be challenged!
If I was a betting man, win tomorrow and hello fab.
Reckon levy will be all over it trying to find a loophole.

Been sent a photo of the ground, CL branding looks good. And not out of place.

Looking forward to the responses? Here's one......... :rofl:
All discussion on this one to the appropriate thread please.

adiepf then nailed his colours even more firmly to the mast when he gave us this......

hey peeps...
am once again informed that luis fabiano is our ONLY striker target & that robbie keane will be moved on before tuesday....even taking on board defoe & his injury...harry has come to the conclusion we are much better equiped for a 4-3-3, 4-5-1 formation....
its been burning under for weeks & weeks apparantley & sevilla were playing hard ball with us....using marseille & even offering him to real madrid but after a lower offer from the french side & a complete lack of interest from real they came back to us last week....harry was stoked, we have been constant in our interest & the boy is really up for the move, personal terms a formality as i was told before...
hence our recruitment drive of midfielders...i have nothing on diarra but just reading between the lines its easy to summise he will be here by the 31st (thats an opinion)
NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with champions league qualification...no need to even debate it...we want fabiano & thats it regards strikers...all our eggs are in, its beleived he is the next level striker who a) we can acheive & b) makes most financial sense....especially if the lad fires us to the champions league for 3 seasons....if he doesnt then its just the normal transfer budget thats been spent....

Thanks again adie, anyone giving you greif will be seen to by our 'enforcer', aka ever.

Then rebrab posted the longest snippet in history........:lol:

When: 25/08

Here’s my snippet for today:
1) Definitely definitely definitely interested in Diarra. People have said Parker is top target there, but I have heard that it is a matter of who we can get on cheaper wages... Parker would be more expensive at first but would have cheaper wages, Diarra cheaper at first but on quite bit wages (although not ‘big big’ like Harry said yesterday). We are trying to convince him to sign on cheaper wages, which looks like a possible. I reckon we could well have him by the end of the window, he wants to come here but his agent is trying to get more money for him. We haven’t agreed a fee yet with Madrid as we want to have agreed personal terms with Diarra so he can force a move, hence lowering the price.
2) Striker on his way out is Robbie. He is being picky about the clubs but he wants to play football so will eventually leave. I fully expect Pav to be here on September 1st
3) Fabiano we are definitely interested in. Not heard done deal yet, going against recent ITK. It could well be a done deal but I haven’t been told about it. Don’t think this means a deal hasn’t been done, all it means is that I haven’t been told (I am not told everything)
4) Everyone has heard Naughton to Middlesborough, they did express an interest but we want too much at the moment. Birmingham are interested. Still has a future at the club if he stays.
5) Hutton... burned his bridges at Rangers before he left so will not be going back there even if they could afford him. We want too much money, but will probably lower our demands if a bid comes in.
6) Pletsikosa. News really mixed here! Apparently he doesn’t have an injury, but is really lacking match fitness... we could sign him up on loan but he needs to get himself fit!
7) Danny Rose could go out on loan to a championship team (or hopefully a lower standard premiership team), but we want to see what else happens first.
8) We aren’t interested in Turan.
9) Pienaar we like but I don’t think we’ll sign, certainly not this summer. Liverpool are interested despite them having a few wingers already, I think there could be some competition next summer for his signature.
10) Krancjar has lost a lot of match fitness over the summer, really unfit apparently. Harry isn’t happy, but he is getting back to fitness now.
11) Regarding JD: I asked about his operation, and apparently he isn’t actually aggravating anything by playing tonight, it is just that it is an injury that has troubled him slightly for some time so he wants to get it sorted. The club has known for a while, but they weren't sure if an operation was required until last week.

:up: Some interesting stuff. Cheers!

Over on COYS, someone who isn't banned whispered.......

Who: Galahad The Gnome
When: 25/08/10
Site: COYS
"Fab further away than others are hearing. S still asking for much more than we'll pay. It may get done .... but not by Thursday morning."

Some conflicting stuff coming out about Fab.......

Then VY, taking a break from 606 was kind enough to post this.......

When: 25/08/10
Site: Spurs Community

Nothing news shattering....Hutton, Gio, Naughton, Keane (or maybe Jenas cant remember, blame the JD!!!) off...and CLOSE on Fabiano and Diarra...thats all, just relaying what I have heard...UP THE YIDS

:up: Cheers!

adiepf received a drunken text if I read it right.......

When: 25/08/10
Where: Spurs Community

"fabiano is on his way....lassana diarra is imminent...keano is gone...loooooooooooong gone...a few others leaving, nobody important....come on you fuckin spuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurs"

:lol:

Then CM posted late last night........

Pletikosa is done! Will be on the official site tomorrow or friday. We made an enquiry about Asmir Begovic after monitoring his situation at Stoke however they are not keen to sell and the player wants to go to Chelsea. Working on the Diarra deal. Levy prefers a loan but Harry wants to get him in permanently. Haven't heard anything new on Fabiano apart from what other itk's have already stated about him being the number one striker target. Keane is deffo off, trying to do a deal with celtic wages and transfer fee just need to be sorted. Thats all for now folks

And that was the ITK for yesterday..............A lot of people think it'll pick up now we're in the CL Group stages. Fingers crossed!

Nothing had made the papers at the time of writing but this caught my eye on the BBC News - "German plan to invade UK revealed". FFS how many more times?

And finally.........
World Cup final referee Howard Webb reveals how he wishes he had sent Dutch midfielder Nigel de Jong off for his high tackle on Spain's Xabi Alonso.
And we all wish you had the bottle not to keep giving United an easy ride. Bastard 'innit?

That's it. Until tomorrow................

quality round up to go with our champs league football

Hopefully an exciting end to the transfer window!

I posted this at the very end of the last discussion and it's just been closed so thought I'd copy it here for people who missed it today. Worth a giggle.

Right. Got a bit of minor spurs information. Nothing about transfers.

A mate of mine plays for crystal palace. Been charting to him obika. Says the boys got some good talent. Scored a hatrick for the reserves the other day and looks amazing in training. My mate says that once he settles he could perform very well in the palace first team. Just needs his confidence boosted.

Now to something funny. David's is installing alot of discipline at the club. During training if u are on the same team as him and u make a mistake, prepare to get bollocked. He has even picked up the ball and stopped the game to ask players what they were thinking and then tells them what they should b doing.

After the Pompey loss a few of the lads were laughing and joking in the changing room. David's then said to them," did we win or lose tonight?" one of them replied "lose" to which he then said " well shut up then and it isn't funny!"

My mate says try don't know what has hit them. Some other funny stuff is that they keep finding him doing kick ups in the shower and he spends an unusual amount of time soaping his arse. So much in fact it's like he's massaging it.

Thought I'd share this with u all for a giggle. When I speak to him next I'll update u!

Thanks for sharing that info, seems the palace boys are in for some good times. :rofl::rofl:

Mate, they are all bricking it. My mate says he now is worried everytime he gets the ball. The pressure can only be a good thing for these lads I suppose

This is brilliant - why can't all ITK be as interesting as this!

ITK on other teams is better because you can assume it's true without worrying too much.

More ITK I'd like to hear:

Joey Barton - loves reading Mills and Boon
Nani - been caught wearing Giggs' undies on more than one occasion
Ashley Cole - has been camping on the training ground in a kid's play tent since his split with Cheryl

Great round up A&C!

[Bromavinci]

More legs on Keane to Celtic.. does Des want to put his hand in his pocket? Either way its looking very likely

 

[PT]

I'd like to say I need my voice for work this afternoon but it was last heard at White Hart Lane.

 

[Original # 10]

things will pick up now one would imagine.... ins and outs

got absolutely soaked at the Lane last night, was well worth it though

coys

 

[mil1lion]

IN: Pletikosa, Diarra, Fabiano
OUT: Hutton, Naughton, Keane

That would make me very happy come Wednesday.

 

[ravo]

Good round as always A&C.

Lee that was brilliant! Keep it coming.

 

[InOffMeLeftShin]

IN: Pletikosa, Diarra, Fabiano
OUT: Hutton, Naughton, Keane

That would make me very happy come Wednesday.

I think that would give us an excellent squad. But I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Levy try and pull off one major coup that he didn't even think we possible before. Really I think that if we can get those three it will make us a serious threat and make other teams sit up and notice. Another striker of world class talent and with the ability to link up play/hold up the ball would push us into title contenders or Champions League outside shots.

That would be ideal

 

[spur_souljah]

I would love those three signings, but if keane is going i think we could also add gudjohnsen on loan but four might be too much..

Benzema ray:

he looks like the closest thing to Rooney, bar Rooney whenever I've seen him (admittedly not that much). So as long as Spurs don't get a world cup team we'll be fine!

 

[solohero]

Harry: Redknapp said he hoped to take his wife, Sandra, away next week to avoid the end of the transfer window and admitted he didn't see 'anything happening'.

Yeah right...
