The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 16th May 2019

[WalkerboyUK]

Can’t say I’m surprised at the Poch news. My concern isn’t about him going, it’s about who would replace him.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

Eriksen is very obviously gone and honestly I think he checked out mentally months ago. He's been a shadow of his true self. I just hope we totally revamp our midfield and attack, because too often this season we look absolutely turgid going forward.

I’m sure that’s the plan with N’dombele and Lo Celso being priority targets

 

[Haddock]

I'm not going to worry about Poch moving to Germany unless Bayern sack they're manager. I'm just pleased that the ITK didn't mention Italy as a possible destination.

If Eriksen has sold his house does that mean that a transfer has already been agreed?

Maybe he has already signed a a new mega-contract with us and therefore can afford a brand new house.

Yeah, let the optimistic rainbows rain.

Huge ITK this morning.
Liverpool responded to their CL defeat by seriously upgrading their weakest position.
We really need to get better from here, but it sounds like our first steps will be to put out some CE and MP fires
I’m slightly worried this could unravel quickly.
New stadium, best facilities, first CL final. Sure Levy won’t let this slide.
We must come back stronger.

With or without Poch and Eriksen, i don't care, I just want something fresh. Bar few results, I wasn't enjoying this season at all. So tense.

 

[ajspurs]

I've come around to Eriksen leaving for quite a while now and even though what we've been getting from him for the last few months has been important, he hasn't been the same for maybe the 2nd half of the season IMO. I also just feel like this team needs fresh blood now and if that comes at the cost of Eriksen leaving I'm all for it.

Regarding Poch, I can't see him leaving before having at least one full season at the new stadium he's been waiting so long for, but the worrying thing would be why he would leave and that it would suggest we wouldn't be planning to be as active in the market as we should be.

I've been googling "Eriksen House" in the hope that he's currently living in a one bedroom flat in Basildon.

 

[hellava_tough]

I'm not all that fussed if Eriksen goes to Madrid and we get £80m or whatever it will be.

I do, however, think that it is far from a done-deal.

Madrid have been strongly linked with Hazard, Pogba, Neymar, and Mbeppe.

And that's even before you factor in the 'lesser' £40m to £60m players, which they'll be looking to sign to bolster their squad.

They can't sign them all, which begs the question; how far down the pecking order is Eriksen on Real's wish-list?

The Goat has turned into Lord Haw Haw...Germany Calling Germany Calling!

True, take away CL run and it's the worse football I've seen under poch, Inc his Southampton stint.

I really like eriksen but if you're gonna leave then that's the way to do it, be an ozil for a season then you end up not being too fussed and forgetting what he's capable of and welcoming change.

On Germany, I don't imagine poch leaving unless levy says there won't be major investment. He said something to the effect last week that spurs were the best club in the world in terms of best stadium, best training facilities, best league, and best city.
With all that If we still act like we're a west ham level club then I can see poch thinking what's the point

 

[For the love of Spurs]

Rob said last night that now the ITK would start to come out after the match as it had been held back and things would be moving and was very happy, hadn’t envisioned it would be Poch maybe going. ?

Can only hope the next is more positive, fingers crossed. ?

 

[Japhet]

The ball is in Levy's court now. I can't imagine Poch bailing out now with a whole season at our new home approaching, but Levy needs to give him the players he wants so that we can keep our squad fresh and fit for whatever presents itself.

 

[Nav420]

Bit of perspective today guys, I know its the day after and all but 95% of the ITK received on poch so far has been very positive and that he is staying.
As soon as we receive one bit of ITK we don't want to hear lets just not lose our shit because of the emotions of last night.
I have full faith in Poch he's a man of his word and I'm really looking forward to seeing what the summer unfolds in terms of signings.

And now lets all enjoy a summer break from football as I think its much needed for us the fans and our players.
COYS

 

[blackburn]

Let's put things into perspective, it says "should Poch leave". We can read anything into that.

I said months ago Eriksen was done with us he's been going through the motions for months, last night the way a player went past him was embarrassing.

 

[daryl hannah]

Might be able to live with Poch going and Jesus becoming manager... continuation.

 

[KILLA_SIN]

Maybe poch is keeping Levy guessing so he backs him. He doesn't want the little big man getting too comfortable everything I heard from Poch so far suggests he wants real backing

 

[absolute bobbins]

The thing I don’t get is where the fuck is Eriksen going because Madrid and Barca are seemingly not interested right now.

If Eriksen ends up as the marque signing at Madrid there will be a lot of very angry fans after being in for Hazard, Mbappe, Pogba and flirting with Neymar in the last few months.

China?

 

[Yiddo100]

China?

Lol not a chance

 

[Haddock]

China?

Hamlet in Beijing.

"There's something rotten in the state of China" has a certain ring to it though.
