Living in Dublin and following football here, can tell you all this would be a great signing.
Bazunu impressed in Europa League just recently and has a great record in the league having shown outstanding ability having been thrown into the first team in the last 2 months or so.
The kid, in...
Apologies for returning to the topic of ITK news.......!
But is Grey Fox's info of "FFS BALE is not going this season just relax and breathe people" the last ITK news of the day so far?!
Coentrao would add another dimension to our attacking play if signed, like others have said. Hopefully Goat's info comes good, but if not, I wouldn't be too unhappy with Danny Rose getting a fair crack at LB.
One weakness with Coentrao would be physically standing up to any aerial threat - I...
McCarthy is pure class - the team that picks him up will not regret it.
If it's us who sign him, we should be delighted as he would be a great signing for us. He can do the Box to box job, and equally is comfortable playing in either a holding role or playing as an advanced midfielder. One of...
Really hope we see a Walker/Dawson/Caulker/Verts back 4 - more of a goal threat on set pieces!
Fingers crossed we raise the performance levels for what is a big game.
3points today and it will send a message to Arsenal and Chelsea: We're up for the battle from now till the end of the season!

In an ideal world, I'd love to see this too, but Holtby's current form compared to that of Sigurdsson, isn't up to scratch. To be honest, even the Clint has shown he works harder than Holtby when he plays and has a greater goalscoring record! Bale in the middle works brilliantly at the moment...
You reckon Cabral will come back into the Basel team Strikeb4ck? Worried he could go through Dembélé and especially Parker - seemed to be a very impressive physical presence in midfield last year.
Who is the creative replacement for Shaqiri (and to an extent Xhaka as well) from last year?
Don't expect Holtby to play a major part in our remaining games, maybe a handful of starts depending on our Europa progress and if we badly need to rotate, but otherwise, expect him to mostly play coming off the bench in our games left.
Needs to channel that initial burst of energy of being...
Lads Holtby can't tackle - he runs around and fouls people and gives away stupid frees. For now, he can't be given any responsibility of playing in the middle of midfield - would be a liability. In the future though, perhaps
Couple of things to note!
Gallas has played in all our Europa games since he's been demoted to back-up and Dawson has become first team regular, so AVB is likely to pick him on Thursday - he's played in our last 32 & last 16 games and if I'd the choice, I'd pick him too.
Basel play tomorrow so...

Lloris
Walker Dawson Vertonghen Assou-Ekotto
Parker Dembélé
Lennon Bale Sigurdsson
Adebayor
Subs: Friedel, Naughton, Caulker, Livermore, Holtby, Carroll, Defoe.
I think Sigurdsson deserves his chance now to start, plus I feel the best we've seen of Holtby is when he comes in for a...
Great signing, always love watching someone who will give you everything and he does that every time he puts on that jersey we all love!
Has popped up on several occasions to make the difference in matches and I'm 100% sure he'll do so again a few more times between now and the end of the season!
yes - Ade will come good now.
This mightn't mean that he'll score tonnes of goals (ie score a high amount like 10-15 goals between now and the end of the season), but we need performances from the big man, and if he is bringing other people into the game, Lennon/Bale/Holtby, we will hopefully...
