The Daily ITK and Transfer Discussion Thread - 12th August

[crazyguitarman]

You may dislike or disagree to your woke heart's content but over a period of 10 years in the Gulf, I saw first-hand their arrogance in believing everyone or everything has a price and can be bought.

You could say it's almost as arrogant as thinking your 10 years in the Gulf amounts to anything more than an anecdote.

The only reason I'm replying to this is because I was going to post it anyway. Please don't @ me asking questions as 99% of the time I'll just put you on ignore. Nothing personal but if it's easier than getting caught up in the shit storm that asking questions can cause........


That said he wants to go, I've said that before. He's very close to Serge and Sissoko and we are actively trying to shift both. He's very sulky and lazy when things aren't going his way. We are happy if he goes, but it's not easy because no one has any money and he's on pretty high wages. My guess would be he goes out on loan or we can shoe horn him into a deal for a striker coming the other way. The latter preferable.

Wasn’t going to @ you at first just been waiting to hear something for ages, peace and love ?? And as always Cheers for the info

If this is the case with him he’s just got to go. I love the guys quality but if he’s still unfit and sulking what’s the point, nuno is his third manager and still no improvement on his fitness or mentality… mad ?‍

It's gotten to the point where i'd be happy to see the back of all 3, for differing reasons. Sissoko has been a great squad player but he's not at the quality we need going forward. Aurier just isn't reliable enough and Tanganga has pecked him now. Tanguy just doesn't seem to be able to get on with any manager as this is his 3rd with us.

If we can get rid of all 3 and generate £60m from them all i'd take that deal all day long and invest it into one decent CM.

I hope we go all in for Kulusevski as the option to Support/to play with/rotate. Everyone is talking about Isak but here in sweden most sees Kulusevski as the bigger talent. Now with Dybala back as a starter for Juve i really hope Paratici brings him in and if Kane goes Vlahovic joins. Kulu would be perfect to play alongside son in a 2 or on right in a 3. If we can get him in for around 50m it would be the best signing in my opinion.

Have we been linked with him by either reputable media or itk?

Do you guys like bbq? Cos A&C is gonna spit roast you with his ban stick if this UN conference continues..

Yes there where news about him when Paratici joined us that he wanted to bring Dejan, both from swedish sources and Italian, but they cooled of.

Per trix info feels realistic that Ndombele could be offered to Inter on loan and we get Martinez in first as the more ideal support striker per Herc info. Then we go all in for Vlahovic when we know what City are doing.

Martinez' agent has publicly stated that he wants to stay at Inter.

So while Inter might be interested in selling him, I'm not really sure he'd be interested in coming. Inter are the reigning champions of Italy, and a very prestigious club, so you could understand him wanting to stay. Vlahovic would seem more realistic, as he plays for a much smaller club in Fiorentina.

I'll call Daniel so he can let you know personally.

Problem is it always goes straight to voicemail

If it's true that Ndombele could also be on his way out, potentially along with Aurier, Sissoko, Winks and Kane, then the next two weeks are going to be absolutely mental

If this is the painful rebuild, then hook it to my veins because I'm enjoying the pain

Aurier, Sissoko & Winks can be sold and we wouldn't miss them much, I doubt they would get in a starting line up much and could easily find someone else to put on bench if they were gone.

Ndombele is he could be bothered would be a player who starts, but that's looking unlikely so again with Skipp and Højbjerg with Ali or Lol Celso again no huge loss, just need another squad player at worse to come in.

Kane is the only one, but with the money we want, we could get a couple of strikers in and hopefully one will work, or give time for one of the youngsters.

So I think it's a slight overall bit not a huge task for the first team, just get rid of the deadwood we don't need mostly.

 

[Nanky_1988]

Yep, and I fully agree with Herc.

Good to know we have a clear number one target! There was ITK earlier this month that said LM was our top target but that seems to have died down!

His agent stated in no uncertain terms that he wants to stay at Inter

I feel like agents are full of shit, its just mindgames all round

“If you are offering more than £160m for Harry Kane, press one…”

 

[freeeki]

Fabrizio Romano has just said on Sky Sports that Paratici wants another CB, another midfielder, and a back-up striker.

"Back up" is an interesting term at this point, suggests that Kane would be staying if that's the case.

 

[Vwbottom]

Like the one we have every year?

and with another midfielder would mean we want Tanguy out ?

 

[septicsac]

Vlahovic, Kane and Son would be crazy strong going forward. Best in the league, arguably best 2nd striker in the league and one of Europe's potentially best young strikers.

 

[CockOnBall]

So if I am understanding the ITK correctly, sorry I haven’t read through the entire thread, but if we sign Vlahovic, then chances are Kane is going. If we sign someone like Martinez then he will be expected to support Harry?
