The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - Not more Repeats! 5th June 2014

[Chris12]

rebrab tweeted something earlier today. No actual player info but just thought it was somewhat interesting. Could possibly be cryptic, more probably just a tweet of the throwaway variety. I know he has ITK status and his info is allowed in this thread/RO but what about his tweets. Probably doesn't deserve to go in the RO but could I post the tweet here???

I wouldn't if I was you

Yeah do it, we either get something to discuss or get to watch you get the bumming of a lifetime that Boy George would be jealous of

I was hoping for permission from a member of staff.

I could take the bumming of a lifetime, I could not take getting banned from the ITK forum.

The suspense is killing me

Twitter you say?

No.

It's probably nothing in all honesty, just thought it would be worth posting as it is from a verified ITK-er.

So regarding the mathematical facts that ITK is not as aplenty as it once was, let me ask. Is this a situation where once Mo arrives we will see more stories? Or is that Levy has really closed up a lot of leaks (which may have been leaks he wanted at the time)? Or is it just the World Cup?

Ut oh, shall I delete my post?

If you value your life

 

[JonnySpurs]

Been done for me, haha! apologies.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I must have been one great big **** in a former life.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

There's new ITK. At last.

trix on coys, from his agent friend (wasnt it?):

Been told again, Lovren is without doubt interested and he is the most likely from Southampton depending on how many other players they let go before we can agree a price. They have set a limit on how many they will let go numbers wise, and are trying to stall everyone until they name their manager. We also want J Rod but his injury makes things difficult unless he comes very cheap. As far as my guy has been told they are the only two we are looking at as of this window, and the guy that has told him works at Lovren's Agency. He was bang on with all the Poch stuff very early on, so no reason to doubt this either.

A combination of things.

Every time we change manager/coaching staff etc etc, we lose some. Then it takes time for new ones to filter through, if indeed they do at all. Then we have the WC. As you say, a combination of things.

 

[indianspurs]

Along with having played for Pochttino, Lovren has also played with Lloris so that will be a bonus if we do eventually get him. Their understanding will be important if we are to have a better defense next year.

Only in ITK land would the term "whore" be used with respect

But keep up the great work

The world cup tends to increase rumours....It is THE event in the footballing world, managers, players, club execs, agents, media and hangers-on all pour into one place and socialize.

The littlest thing tends to kick up a rumour.....Baldini at lunch with an agent, well Spurs are obviously interested in the biggest name the agent represents. Poch happens to be at a match and his ticket is next to Zidane, well shit...Real and Spurs are talking about someone because it can't have to do with high profile people getting preferred seating at a match. Someone has a friend who is an agent and that agent had dinner with an agent for another player and.....rumour

Problem is that because much information gets tossed up in the air that it becomes difficult to tell what is what remotely true and what is a blatant pile of BS because so much is similar either way. New legitimate ITKs may appear but with so much floating around some "ITKs" (not to mention journos) are bound to get something right if they throw enough a stories out, but becomes difficult to figure out which ones are legit ITK and which ones are posting a pile of crap that they heard from someone.

Smelling of piss? That's a bit harsh.

I'm pleased with the Lovren news and intrigued by Rodriguez too
