    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 8th August

    This. This is what we all should have done today instead of checking this thread for 14 hours - I suspect Gav knows as much as all of us right now!

    Ryan Sessegnon

    I do wonder if some of the values being touted for players in this window bring us back to bidding for Sessegnon. What was expensive earlier in the window look like more reasonable fees now.

    Jack Grealish

    Happy to admit that I didn’t consider that angle, but I still think they either want to keep him (so should offer him something now, so he can decide to accept or not) or they are happy to sell at the right price (which everything points towards). If they wait until after the window and he...

    Jack Grealish

    I think your suspicions that this isn’t actual ITK would be right. Any of us could have written this (did one of you mad lads do it?!). The telling thing for me is that the owners will apparently offer him a contract after the window...why wait if they want to keep him? Make him your best...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 6th August

    It was a tenuous link in the local Burnley paper I think (naming us as one of 6 clubs interested). Luckily we don’t have to worry about it now with two ITKs ruling it out ??

    Dani Ceballos

    We’d all probably take one of the 3 Madrid midfielders being linked with moves away but that’s what makes this unlikely IMO. As soon as one of the 3 leaves they probably won’t let another go, not sure we’ll secure one ahead of other European clubs

    Player watch: Danny Rose

    It’s been a while since we’ve had any real info on replacement defenders. I really can’t see us letting Rose or Toby go without definitely replacing them. If we’re signing at least 3, I hope it’s 3 plus replacements if either go. On a separate note, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Rose go to...

    Jack Grealish

    In no way, at this time, can not signing Grealish be seen as a failure. If we weren’t all so desperate for a signing this would be a very ‘meh’ moment (to steal Hercs phrase from earlier in the window). We had ITK from both sides saying it was all but done (didn’t The Journalist say it was as...

    Wilfried Zaha

    Ok so what’s his value? It’s obviousjy subjective but comparing with other transfers, Richarlison, Mahrez, Fabinho Ronaldo even...is Zaha a £50m, £60m, £70m player based on his contract, HG, importance to Palace etc? I think Palace could name a price anywhere from £50m plus, what do you value...

    Wilfried Zaha

    In a world where Richarlison is £50m, Zaha is probably correctly valued at £75m. I know that £60m plus signings have been ruled out but the market’s evolving and we’re going to have to pay up if we want him. Let’s get it done!

    Wilfried Zaha

    I agree those would be my top 3 generally. BUT they all offer something different, for example Lamela’s defensive work would put him ahead of Moura for certain games. I think all would get plenty of game time, and it would be fantastic to have some real threat from the bench

    Wilfried Zaha

    There’s no way we just gave Son a five year contract if there’s any chance of him having to do military service in that time IMO. Zaha would be a great addition, hope we progress this deal.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 11th July

    Waiting and not waiting are not mutually exclusive, depending on the source. As Herc said we’re not waiting for outgoings first...signings like Graelish will be done at the opportune moment (whenever that might be). We can at the same time also be waiting to see who’s going (Toby, Moose)...
