This thread has been ruined by the other thread and I'm not impressed.

However I suppose it stops all of the spam in it

I just got a text from my source and he said it's 1000000% because the pre contract was done last week!
"Akqayid and JJ have started a new Spurs forum and took 80% of SC members with them!"

Sorry but my source asked not to be named ;)

No it was ruined by ITKs no longer posting on SC.
Ironic isn't it. All of that effort expended by the mods into trying to keep Twitter out of the ITK thread and now it is the ITK thread... It's a funny old ball game innit? ;)

Dont know if this has been picked up yet.

England striker Jermain Defoe, 29, has been told he cannot leave Tottenham by new manager Andre Villas-Boas.

Full story: Daily Mail

found these on there also -

Tottenham are set to battle rivals Arsenal for Italian keeper Emiliano Viviano, 26, who is co-owned by Serie A sides Inter Milan and Palermo.

Full story: Daily Star

Spurs are set to make a third bid for Internacional striker Leandro Damiao, 22, after seeing the Brazilian side sign a potential replacement in Uruguay's Diego Forlan.

Full story: Daily Mirror

But his Internacional team-mate Oscar , 20, has revealed he has no plans to quit the Brazilian club, despite Tottenham lodging a £10m bid for the midfielder.

The problem is/was, that JJ wanted to be able to talk and have banter as he always had, plus be able to do Q & A's, though as A & C/Rob say, it makes this thread a nightmare for them. Now he's got it how he wants it, but the downside is that he doesn't post here. Could a twitter exception be made in this case so that his info could be posted/discussed here?

Please don't let this start a big discussion on JJ again though as it's been done to death

There was other ITK before JJ posted it on here and there will be other ITK now too. Patience. (y)

Tho the twitter thread is now the conversation thread...;)

Ladies and Gentleman. We are gathered here today to celebrate the life of our beloved friend, "the ITK Discussion Thread". At times he made us laugh. At times he made us cry. Many times his rights and laws were abused, with some of the most shocking, pointless, verbal diarrhea ever seen.... since someone gave Kerry Katona a microphone. But with each death comes the promise of a new life and I'm afraid to say he's got a cooler, funkier brother across the street called the "Twitter Thread". Get dooooooown with the Twitter Thread!!

Stort's ITK in the RO about Freyers was spot on yesterday! Didn't realise he was one of the sharper ITK'S, Akqayid said he was well informed, with contacts to the club.

The only thing i would say about last nights madness is this...........

Some people have mentioned a press embargo, which on the face of it seems unlikely. However we know that journo's trawl through forums and have many times seen ITK from here suddenly appear as an article in one of the rags or on line

So given all the excitement and rumours last night where are the stories from the press? Surely one of them at least would have wanted to write a quoteless article with little foundation? They normally do

Why is it so quite from the press? Perhaps there is something in this press embargo..............
The press aren't interested in the idea of Modric staying. They only care about reports about him leaving. It's one of their big transfers of this window. I don't expect them to report otherwise.

We've already had plenty of media coverage about potential takeover etc as well in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if we get some more soon too. I think the club has does exceptionally well to keep their card close to their chest.

No more Harry running his mouth off helps.

Storts has been a well respected ITK as long as i've followed these forums on here. He doesn't post often and doesn;t tend to give a lot away when he does. But when he does he is usually bang on the money.
