Great read, been here for since near the beginning 2004 if I remember rightly don't post much but generally enjoy the site but preferred it a few years ago, hats off to all those who keep it running though.
In the Next Instalment maybe we could have a Future of ITK basically where we just go and steal all the ITKs off RAWK as we only sign people they scouted first

can't believe I wasted 6 years on COYS before they booted me out and I found my way here. Best signing of the summer for me was SC. Do remember all these guys though, great ITK times.
One thing I've often wondered is if we genuinely have more people claiming ITK than other clubs or it just seems so because I don't go on other clubs message boards. Also is the term ITK a spurs term or generally accepted internet parlance?

In Summer 2006, one that got away was Martin Petrov. The prevailing view amongst, well everyone really, was he would join his mate Berbatov. Petrov and his agent were put up in a hotel in London for two days (IMissTheWaddler called it!), but still the deal wasn't done. As we now know, he took newly-rich Mansour City's shilling and that was that.
From my archive, here are some other ITK tips for that window...
Aguero, Kuyt, Owen, Aurelio, Simao, Morientes, TORRES!, Carlton Cole, Duff, Bellamy, Seedorf (replacing Davids), Downing (!), Babel, Ribery, Pedersen, Richards, Aimar, Trabelsi, Assamoah Gyan, David Silva, Bridge, Yaya Toure, Thomas Vermaelan, Denilson...
To add balance, other players tipped to join were Ekotto, Bent, Bale, Reid, Zokora, Chimbonda and Bale.
Top cryptic ITK post came from JurgenTheGerman on COYS:
Look out the left the Captain said.......
it wasn t the one that you gave to me
that night down south between the trailers
not the early one that you wish upon
not the northern one that guides in the sailors...
( April 25)
This is the lyric from "This Flight Tonight" by Joni Mitchell, a 70s hit in the UK for Scottish rock band Nazareth. What the reader was supposed to deduce from this that in France there are two large caravan parks outside of Lyon. And that the player was Hatem Ben Arfa.

What about the perpetual links to "Dave", window after window? Or was that more the press?
Anyway, great read Happy!

*please read this in a withered old man voice*
There were whores before then. In a time before Twitter, there were but a few who roamed the other forums, avoiding bans from COYS and FTL, forgetting passwords for Spurs Odyssey ...
They shall be written into the coding of SC for ever and shall be remembered as Immortal Heroes of the blah blah blah, whatever my profile thing says.
Booya.
(Maybe don't read that last part in the old man voice, not sure how many old men say "Booya". Withered or not)

There was once a time when Stoof, TSH and A&C roamed free, ripping it out of the ITK's until one by one, 'the man' made us mods and forever silenced us. Oh and Nicdic and Flatters, but that was more out of an attempt to stop them sleeping with eachother.

That was History Witnessed. @HappySpur much appreciated mate.
The rise and fall of POTL, 100% record father and son (lol), bizness getting offended by ITK bashing (he still frequents SC, may be this is why he doesn't get a mention)
The rumour that Paul Kemsley himself posted on SC...
adiepf, lordy
@HappySpur so who you were back in 2005? Was your nick the same?
Goodnight.
Er, when did I get offended?

I think he's got his wires crossed, I don't remember you getting offended, more got the camel with those who were being allowed to post ITK...? Which a few of us did.

Probably mistaken. Too long on SC, too many names, too much info.

Oh that. Yes, certain posters on FTL asked their info didn't get brought across so I stopped doing it. Dovakiin does it anyway though.

Ah, Dave. He's been linked so much we might as well make him an honorary player.
Along with Anton Ferdinand and Carlton Cole.
Maybe not
Why do they care if their info is brought across. If they don't want their info shared they should be posting it on an internet forum.

Here we go. For a number of reasons
1) they ask it's not shared
2) it's a closed forum
3) it will affect people's livelihood if it appears in the SC ITK and twitter
Let's not let number 3 get in the way of you finding out info though shall we?
