ITK Thread

Not that surprising. When we extender Kane's deal we had the upper hand - he'd only recently signed a new contract IIRC and it was more a reward than anything. With Bentaleb, his contract was running out and it was a case of pay up or sell him.

Bentaleb's old contract was until 2018 iirc. I just think we paid him enough to get him to sign a new deal because the club believe he is the real deal. I also fully expect Kane to be offered a new contract within the next year which will be more than Bentaleb's

I should really have changed my location by now, given I left Uni 3 years ago!

do you know why the Soton player was at the party and not out in Austria with the rest of the squad? injured or not due back yet because his season finished late and he has an extended break?
 
All this kind of thing is of course hearsay. Just a slightly better informed opinion. Hopefully DL can get a deal done before a bigger club blows us away with their financial leverage.
 
Cheers Aber. At least unlike some of the more annoying ITKs you're giving us a credible story. I don't care much if it's true or not, but some youth player being under the impression that Schneiderlin wants to join us is at least more likely than someone spilling details about our entire transfer strategy for the summer online.
 
I want to believe. Especially the Schneiderlin thing. But it makes me wonder why he gave that very specific quote about moving to a CL club - unless he really expected Arsenal to bid.

The comment about Yedlin rings true as does the one about Stambouli. Just makes sense.
I wonder how the club have gone about dealing with Soldado, given the support infrastructure that players have these days - psychological factors may be involved but don't know how much the club could get involved there.
 
the news is spreading :).....the harryhotspur blog is running with Aber's itk.

I don't especially want to reveal names but I'm fairly decent mates with a footballer in a Premier League squad.

That player had some friends around his pad last night, and I was one of them. There were 7 other well known footballers there, one of whom plays for Spurs.

We all talked and a lot of interesting things were said, but obviously I was interested in what the Spurs player knew.

So, here are some tidbits.

Lloris, Kane and Vertonghen will be our captains next season.
Nabil Bentaleb is unreal in training and is now better paid than Kane, Vertonghen, and a few other big names.
DeAndre Yedlin is actually quite good in training, but it took him 3 months or so to get used to the pace as apparently Sounders training was tinkle poor by comparison.
Stambouli wasn't actually part of a clique causing trouble. He hung out with them because he's French and Hugo is a bit insular.
Jesus Perez and Poch are a hilarious double act, and D'Agostino is a bit of a tough bastard with the players.
No-one at the club likes Kaboul, but they all respectED him hence electing him captain last season.
Everyone knows the club want Schneiderlin. This is why Dembele wants reassurances.
Soldado is an absolute beast in training and never misses. The club are desperate for him to succeed - and noone can figure out what's wrong.
Jan Vertonghen is the most popular player in the squad - the Alderweireld deal was in part to improve the club and in part to keep Vertonghen happy (he's not been happy with his CB partners)

And one of the players there is a Soton player, who said that Schneiderlin doesn't want to move to United: because he wants to play 38 games in a season, not be one of 6 or 7 top class midfielders.
He misses Pochettino and his training methods, and he wants to move to London.
The Soton player told me that Schneiderlin will be a Spurs player.

I have no reason to disbelieve you, other than being a care worn Spurs Fan. So I have to say I was will only believe that we will get schneiderlin when I see him line up for us.
 
Personally think that all sounds believable but probably won't happen. I think we should all do what they do on SC and hero worship AberYid for the rest of the summer. If none of the info comes true then we can just say "things change"!

Nonetheless thanks AberYid it was an interesting read

That's the thing though, a lot of what is classed as ITK is probably legitimate info passed on through decent sources but is essentially just an opinion...and in football, things actually do change and quickly. I'm not talking about those ITKs spouting info every other day of course. But AberYids info, is essentially a youth team players take on things, doesn't mean it will happen and if it doesn't happen doesn't mean the Soton player or AberYid were lying. But that's how ITK is judged, if a player doesn't sign then the info must of been nonsense...
