The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 3rd June 2013

[Archibald&Crooks]

​

Good morning ITK'ers. A pretty quiet weekend for ITK or should that be eyeteekayinho? Everyone seem to be catching the Brazilian bug. Even the mrs got inflicted, but it all went pear shaped for her when the strimmer ran out of petrol.

We had some late night ITK from The Goat last night which ought to keep us occupied for a while. Here it is.

The Goat has some broadly un-surprising ITK from what he considers a reliable source. Most of it just confirms what is being said by others: The Goat's source said...............

• Bale will not be sold this Summer under any circumstances and hasn't been agitating to leave. His young baby is a factor in this.
• Huddlestone, Livermore and possibly Parker (if we get a good offer) are expected to depart, leaving Sandro as the only remaining defensive midfielder.
• Rose and Townsend will be in the first team squad next season.
• He doesn't think anyone will be interested in buying Adebayor because of his wages.
• Levy is a nightmare to do business with (surprise) and his habit of dragging deals out to the last minute aggravates the other directors as well as the fans. I didn't get the impression that he expects this to change.
• The decision to remove Redknapp was motivated by a wide variety of factors, not just last season's slump in form. Quite a lot of it had to do with the club rule on public statements that "everything goes through Donna [Cullen]", a rule that Harry was obviously unable to follow whenever he was confronted with a microphone and a reporter.

We are still trying to sign Damiao and also Paulinho

Ooooh.

Morning. Wonder how much hudd and livermore would be let go for? Paulinho to replace them would be nice.

happy birthday mate, but unless you want to get the boot from the thread on this most magical of all days I'd get rid of the huge picture in your post - cos it's against the rules and you'll get told off, or worse...

Morning all. Great to have yet another itk saying that bale is staying. Just this fact if true has to mean he's happy with our transfer targets.
Don't know much about paulinho but hoping it's a screen for Bernard. He's going to be very special.

Fuck the itks, rather see us actually releasing information that we have sold or bought someone.

Well I gave him an 8.5 for the dive

LD did as well as Andy Carroll last night.

F### the itks, rather see us actually releasing information that we have sold or bought someone.

I'd agree wholeheartedly on this... Still no Damiao after the Bra vs Eng game!

 

[solohero]

Damiao - didn't do much. Some might think "didn't do much" is an understatement
Bernard - looks decent

 

[Rob]

All we know from the Bale ITK is that Levy's telling everyone we won't sell...

 

[Mer fantastik]

Damiao - didn't do much. Some might think "didn't do much" is an understatement
Bernard - looks decent

I think Damiao did great for the 15 minutes he got. For the Bra second goal he held up the England line so Paulhino get the free space to score. He had a couple of runs which almost resulted him to get free and as said occupied the the England cb.

It doesn't have to mean he's happy with our transfer targets at all

Just means Levy isn't selling him this summer

erk! what you talking 'bout Rob? No-one needs that kinda talk this morning! It'll be awful moany in here now...

 

[Booney]

If Bale and family don't fancy moving with a young baby then we'd better start praying that Mrs Bale gets pregnant again soon. And if Gareth can't step up to the plate and deliver the goods then someone on here is going to have to....

 

[rawhide]

It'll be awful moany in here now...

As opposed to the bright and optimistic tone we usually have?
