    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The ITK makes me moist edition 16th September

    Levy has to be positioning the club for a sale. However much we can convince ourselves of Levy’s emotions or nostalgia, he simply never would’ve splurged this kind of cash on a 31 y/o AND agreed to a player with a buyback clause a season or two ago. But for the short-term they’re a fantastic...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 20th August

    For years I’ve wanted Rakitić...his vision, passing, movement—gliding through defenses to deliver the perfect ball. I don’t have many kits but I’ve got a Crotia one with his name on it. But after his last season and in our financial situation? No way. As sad as it is, the 32 y/o is declining...

    Of course. As we're seeing, it's incredibly difficult to sign any willing player that would improve our squad, let alone fit into Poch's system in character, mind, and talent. But it still stands that nearly 5 years in at a now consistently top-4 club in the EPL (thanks to him), he (and Hitchen...

    I agree with the sentiment, but it assumes that Poch's choices actually do improve the first team. As ITKs have expressed, his choices haven't always done that.

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all wonder what's going on at United?

    I don’t think he’ll go, and you’re right that there are many things to consider at United but a squad that finished second in the league just months ago, is in the UCL knockouts, and has been sitting out their £100m midfielder is hardly a “huge rebuilding job.”

    "Dier: Tottenham will shut up transfer critics" -- yeah Eric, because if we had signed any Fifa-registered CM available, you wouldn't have seen a minute this season

    How he doesn't see that it's Winks OR Dembele, Dier OR Wanyama, is beyond me. Without clear roles, how can they expect to know what in the world to do.

    If Poch were to ever throw a game, his management from 70' on is exactly what it would look like

    The Summer Transfer Window POST MORTEM THREAD

    I'll try to keep this as objective as possible, mostly to use this as a time capsule to reflect on come May. Our transfer system is broken. Not only because we didn't sign anyone, but because it's an inefficient business model for an organization of this size. Our youth system is struggling...

    Wilfried Zaha

    Yeah, wasn't there ITK early on in the summer about how Poch was going to set up differently this season?

    Wilfried Zaha

    More than wages, transfer fee, or fan appreciation, etc. the biggest roadblock I see is promised playing time. We know that historically, Chelsea are the worst with this (see: Drinkwater, all of their loans, etc.) but if they actually end up selling Willian and/or Hazard (which may be agreed...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 16th July

    Is it possible we may have made a bit too much of "being brave" this window? Or perhaps it really will be the defining comment of this window? It's just that other than the Kane contract (which IS massive) it seems misaligned with our window thus far.

    Jack Grealish

    This talk about "being on England in a year"—it seems like a strange barometer to be measuring Grealish by. Euro qualifiers don't start until March and England has one game scheduled before that vs. the US in November. It's not like he's going to have loads of opportunities in the next year. I...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 13th July

    Wow, I don’t know much about him at all but looking at the other England starters they are either consistent starters for their PL club or have been such in the recent past (e.g. Rose). Does this mean the expectations on Grealish are to usurp one of Eriksen, Alli, Dier, Wanyama, Winks, or...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 3rd July

    I think this is right. I don’t know anyone here who became a Spurs fan after Dempsey or Yedlin joined, and I think this forum may overweight the commercial potential of American players BUT it certainly wouldn’t hurt to sign a player who may be the highest potential star of one of the largest...
