    Loan Watch Joe Rodon -Leeds United

    A bit like Dybala last year, I think Skriniar was an option that materialised through circumstances and like Dybala, I don't think it necessarily will be available in the next window, so IMO that ship has sailed. Given the rest of our business this window, this doesn't strike me as a panic buy...

    Dele Alli at Everton

    Would love to have the Dele from a couple of years back, but barring a handful of games when Jose first arrived, we haven't seen it on a consistent basis for a long time. Love the guy, but he doesn't seem to be able to contribute in the way we need him to on a regular basis and I now can't work...

    Thanks for the updates @Hercules Doesn't sound like I'm getting a cheeky Birthday signing today, but sounds like our strategy and targets are still sound (y)

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 10th September

    I don't necessarily read that as "we need to sell before we can buy", more that "the books (specifically around wages) need to be balanced by the end of the window". Provided we have deals in the pipeline to shift players out then I think we'll press ahead. Would be excited to upgrade the left...

    Matt Doherty @ Atletico Madrid

    Jose has always bought finished article players rather than projects for the future. He wants to win now, not in 3 years, so this makes perfect sense to me. Given Jose’s liking for one fullback to hold whilst the other pushes forward, Doherty fits that roll and has been pretty effective at...

    Player Paulo Dybala

    All indications from itk’s etc indicate that he’s only coming if Eriksen or A N Other leave for what we can only assume is a substantial figure. Would love to see him in addition to the existing squad + GLC and Sess, it’d be a real statement of intent, especially since the wages for once don’t...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 28th June 2019

    Ok, perennial lurker here, but today is the kinda day where you just have to say something. Sorry to hear the news @Mr Pink, thoughts are with you bud. @Vics Donation made to the run, such a great cause and as we’ve seen today, affects so many. And in other news, such a massive statement...

    Lewis Cook

    Would love to see Lewis come to Spurs, great work ethic, can see a pass, instinct is to go forward rather than back. Seems like an ideal Poch signing. Biggest concern would be we buy and then don’t play which stalls his development.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 30th August 2017

    All our info still looking promising, going to be a massively distracting couple of days!! Would like to see the two defenders announced today though, would give optimism that the ducks are genuinely in a row and that the burn down list for tomorrow is manageable. Massive thanks to all the...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 20th July

    Not sure the financials stack up around Mahrez, but would love that signing. Gives us something different to what we have. Missed the end of yesterday's thread so not sure what the latest on Barkley is, but Mahrez, Barkley and a new RB would IMO be a great window. Course saying all that, at...

    Illaramendi looks exactly like the kind of player Poch wants in MF. Will be interesting to see the sort of money we're talking about though, sure Madrid paid something in the region of €30m to get him from Sociadad! Really hope one of the "Ins" this week in the Goats info is a striker though...
