The Daily ITK and Transfer Discussion Thread - 12th August

Spurs might have set the bid in Euros as most of our shopping seems to be in Europe right now. Or he just couldn't find the £ symbol

 

[fredejohs]

I'm of the opinion that you get your replacement sorted before you sign off on Kane leaving. Otherwise letting him go is a massive gamble.

I agree. Act instead of React.

 

[freeeki]

IMO he’s just a walking news aggregator who gets bits of info, usually at the very end when the deals are done, but most of it is waffle and guess work with lots of “maybe possibles”

Romano is clearly a very reliable source for Spurs right now.

It’s more than obvious at this point that Paratici and Romano are closely connected.

From a Mancity focussed reporter...

 

[silveraeon]

I may be over reacting but it's not Pep Vs Levy is it. Pep Vs Nuno? Perhaps. Or the Sheikh or the Spanish backroom chaps Vs Levy. Weird take.

 

[dtxspurs]

The dominos begin...

 

[Guntz]

This guy was one of the first people to call the Romero deal iirc

 

[synththfc]

romano said yesterday we’d know more about the kane situation today.

think it’s clear he’s going to be gone now

 

[SpartanSpur]

No chance of £120m. Like Trix said this morning there seems to be a lot of misplaced optimism at City currently. They may well get to where they need to be in the end as they have plenty of oil/blood money but they seem keen on getting Kane on the cheap which does not mesh well with Levy.

Maybe £120m with hefty add ons that could take it to the £150-160m range.

For 70m it should be for someone with a much more proven track record.

I don't think anything is clear re. Kane exiting or staying, but what is clear is that Paratici and the club are making moves to cover every eventuality. We don't Kane money sat in the bank if we sell him nor for the squad to be left short of strikers.

 

[Guntz]

That 70m is about Martinez I'm guessing, not Vlahovic.

City have come back again for HK and will be back again. More ITK to come on that.

Certain fundamental truths at play. Levy always has a number. If you are not close to the number, the answer is no. City always has money and will continue to make a mockery of FFPR. They can afford whatever the number is that Levy has. There will be more salvos as Kane wants to go, City wants him and it is just money. Also, as ever, Spurs only become the destination of choice for most CL level players, when the CL teams they want become impossible. Thus, deals will, as ever, go down to the last.

Current truths at play too. We play City at the weekend. No way we sell HK before that game. I would be shocked if he played any part (get ready for not match fit or Modric not mentally fit). It is a buyers market. Lots of teams in a world of financial hurt. All ITK I have read and heard suggests that Spurs are fine and have money to spend (not just Hercules). Nuno and FP are new too. We are in a state of transition. HK sale can (and I'll say will) permit 2-3 quality purchases that immediately improve the first team without going in to a deep hole.

Cannot wait to get beyond the HK ITK and see ITK about all of the players that need to be gone. Crickets.

The new squad numbers have just been announced and numbers 9 & 13 are still open now if we only had two forwards we are looking to bring in I think those numbers will suit them perfectly.
I know I know but every little helps.

I think the number 10 will be available too if we were to get both forwards

I think the two numbers are particularly relevant but I don't want to take the discussion further in here. Going by the post above mine you may well be right.

Crickets?

Crickets?

Help - I’ve no idea why you said that; you either ITK or I as a KiTe

Is this ITK or opinion? Not heard of you getting info before.

I think it was a response to the post from @peterballb
