The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 20th August 2021

I don't know that much about either player, but from what I've read on here him for around £25m and Sarr for £10m sorts out our midfield for years along with Hojbjerg and Skipp.

Sounds like an absolute no-brainer.

 

[SuperLuka]

You’re the BEST! Man

Someone needs to usher you away from this conversation

 

[Kuryakin]

As an American, I desperately want Weston in our squad.

We need another God Damn American Hero ever since Dempsey left us.

 

[Ricky_Yid]

Kane "I need to agitate for a move"
TND "Hold my beer"

I really shouldn't laugh.. ?

I imagine A&C will have some unbridled joy when he finds out we've turned this thread into a pun train

That midfield is severely lacking in creativity.

I still think we need an Aouar/Eriksen type to help break down the bus parkers.

We all hoped Ndombele/Lo Celso would be that player, but it's clear that they both can't be relied upon yet.

 

[Cheds]

Looking back at a few of the ITK info, it looks like a few players we want out are not wanting to go.

Sanchez and winks both want to stay and fight for places, I just hope Nuno tells them straight if they will get near the team or not before the window closes, even if we can get them out on loan (last ITK info in the read only bit) it's better than nothing. Would have thought we would have seen more moving out by now.

Thats my biggest worry...none of those players who have not been good enough for both Poch and Jose have left. Can see the same outcome and frustration this season. Do hope Im wrong.

I suspect Tanguy falls into that category of footballer that doesnt really like football - his main motivations and ambitions have been to build a better life for himself and his family - now he has achieved that there is no ambition left

agree - im reading a book about how being paid to do something you love can produce the wrong effect i.e sometimes doing something for the joy of its is much more gratifying than being paid to do it. Tanguy looks like he may be struggling with something along those lines.

Traore, Aouar and McKennie I still think is so so possible. Would be really happy with that.

 

[StanSpur]

Sissoko + 15m would be a good bit of business for us and not much of a risk if he doesnt work out at that price

 

[Quiffco]

Can we not offer a player silly wages as a way to get them to sign please. Tanguy is the perfect example of someone who only came because we offered 200k a week. Now we're stuck with him. It's funny that we have Kane wanting a move to City and we're holding him to his contract. Tanguy is rightfully holding us to his so can't really complain. The only way I see him going is on loan with us paying some of his wages.

And then some people are complaining we didn't offer Ings the huge wages he's on at Villa...

 

[robspur]

So how does this work- is it like asking someone out?

FP- do you want to swap Sissoko for McKennie?

Juve DoF - no, do you?

FP - no, me neither, was just asking to see if you wanted to.

Juve DoF - ok, do you want to leak it to Romano that we’re not keen on swapping?

FP - yep, will do- anyone else you’re not keen on swapping for someone that we’re keen to keep?

Fabian Ruiz...one year left of contract

We should be all over him

Same for Kessie.

 

[Fredo]

Jokes aside, I very much doubt Fab will disrespect his former club Juve with a shit offer. What Romano said too which I found slightly interesting on his Twitch/live with a youtube account the other day was that apparently, DoF's, when they move club they prefer not to deal with their former club at least immediately to avoid the impression that they cannot deal elsewhere. Obviously that doesn't mean we won't deal with Juve, but found it interesting nevertheless. Think we can get McKennie done if we really want him personally. Suspect Juve relations are good too with the obvious link with Fab and involvement in the Romero transfer via Demiral

Romano has said zero interest in Mckennie.

 

[Russ1201]

As an Englishman, I desperately wanted Sissoko out of our squad too.

I raise your sissoko for winks ?

 

[Fredo]

Romano has said zero interest in Mckennie.

If you're just going off the tweet, to me that just sounds like regarding the swap deal in particular? Unless he has actually has said Spurs have zero interest somewhere else, my bad.

 

[Gspurs11]

There is more rumours to McKennie, besides Fab. Can I post direct links from Italian sources? This new format confuses me. Maybe set up a thread for him?

 

[DenverSpur]

Dragon:

Plan for Metz kid is he is going back on loan

I cannot see anyway Kane goes now both Martínez and Florentina striker went up massively in price even if city wen to 150 it’s a terrible deal for us

re Tanguy he just does not care we cannot get him motivated , getting our money back and finding someone to pay him 200k a week is not going to be easy but that’s what we are trying to do

The NDombele situation makes me wish we had something like they have in the NFL where you’re contract is only good if you make the squad after preseason training.If you don’t you’re out on your ear. More complicated here because of transfers but still the principle is sound. It would stop people taking the piss, taking the money for doing nothing
