The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 24th June 2022

[SuperLuka]

If he isn't coming here I think we all agree, anywhere but there

I'd rather not see him at West ham or Newcastle

Me neither. Preference for me goes, Spurs, abroad, Brentford... Big gap... The rest... Chasm... Manure

From Ali Gold's latest video.

1. Spurs were kind of interested in Gabriel Jesus but not enough to make a move. Also talked about the toxicity from some of the fans for "missing out" on him.

2. Intention is to bring in as many faces as possible before Korea tour. But believes we wont be able to get everything done by then. Thinks 4-5 more signings with 1-2 coming before the Korea tour.

3. 100mn drawn by the club from the 150mn cash injection. Says the original shares were alloted on May 27th. We dont have to sell to buy this window.

4. A guess that club could be sold next season as our value is at the highest. ENIC's ownership of the club increases upto 87% should the club take all of the 150mn. Thus its in the best intention of ENIC to invest now and increase the value of the club.

4. Re-iterates that most transfer deals are paid in installments.

5. Paratici works 7 days a week with 3 days at Hotspur way and 4 days at Italy.

6. Seems its going to be Richarlison OR Raphinha. Paratici likes Richarlison and Richarlison wants to leave Everton. Richarlison's agency is very close to Spurs. Raphinha prefers Barcelona. Both are quoted 50mn plus with Raphinha commanding upto 65mn. Arsenal has an early bid for Raphinha rejected.

7. Gold prefers Raphinha as a player but thinks Richarlison is a better fit at Spurs. Spurs are fans of Richarlison's versatility. Conte wants 2 players at every position and thus Richarlison would save money for the club as he can compete for LW and ST. Perisic can also cover LW. We are not operating in a first team - backup mode now.

8. June 30 is when year ends for FFP concerns. Everton has troubles with it. Unclear what they should (or cant) do by June 30.

9. Talks of Lucas leaving but Lucas isnt keen. Bergwijn close to leaving

10. Arsenal and Tottenham will sign players that would fit them. Its mostly not a case of beating each other to a player.

11. We are looking at Paqueta and Antony. But Antony could be close to United. Also looked at Saint Maximin, Maddison, Traore and Brennan Johnson.

12. Gvardiol and Bastoni were top of the wishlist ahead of the likes of Bremer, Zabarniyi and Torres. Thinks if Spurs are to make a real statement signing, it could be Gvardiol. Already enquired. Probably 80mn. RBL aren't easy to negotiate with.

13. Not much progress on Spence. Expects the move to happen. Thinks Levy shouldn't be blamed for this. Also went over quotes from Chris Wilder.

14. Everton interested in Winks. Tangled with Everton's FFP problems.

15. Few clubs including Roma interested in Rodon. On the day Jose left Spurs he called in Lloris and asked to take care of Rodon as he thought Rodon will become a great player.

16. Talks about the news of Ndombele to Galatasaray. Feels it is a wierd move if true.

17. Talks about Bale to LAFC

18. Eriksen decision to come soon. Feels it could be Brentford. Leicester, Ajax, Newcastle, West Ham an unnamed La Liga club all looked at him. Does not appear to be coming to Tottenham.

19. Talks about Alfie Devine.

20. Pre season begins for Skipp, Tanganga and Doherty tomorrow. Doherty and Perisic has more recovery work to be done after their injuries.

I read 16. wrong; I thought it said Ndombele's gone to Glastonbury!

 

[Impspur1]

Hear me out...

Different pathways.
The door has opened.
Spurs distance themselves from Eriksen.

Ok Everton, we'll step back from CE, you sell us Richie...

#tenuous

I’m pretty sure CE might have something to say about that ?

 

[jbstarr14]

Erection on standby.

Isn’t he still on holiday?

 

[Mister Jez]

It sounded more like they’re going to actively try and sell

No it didn't, you're taken one line totally out of context. When you listen to it properly, it's totally different.

 

[Roynie]

One line I don’t particularly like
“There is talk that ENIC may potentially choose to sell the club within the next year.”

That's a double qualifier, as in "might possibly". So it's a guess with no real knowledge to support it. Nothing's changed then!

they do have a lot of burger stands..so makes sense

Must admit the days that are exciting is when there's no news from the ITK's in the morning because it usually means that the people behind the scenes are very busy and something is brewing and then the ITK gets unleashed

either that or there just isn't anything

It's called delusion you hairy bastard, try it sometime!

 

[kremlyn]

All our ITKs are French and they don't work on Mondays.

It would explain the spelling and the mardiness to answering questions.

 

[-Afri-Coy-]

Gvardiol would honestly be our Van Dijk level defensive signing.

He is going to be one of the top 5 cb’s in the world very soon.

Would be worth every penny.

Haven't seen enough of him myself, but why do you think he will be one of the best?

If this is the case then that's pretty exciting (providing we get him, of course). Especially as you could reasonably say similar about Romero.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I'm so so sorry that we've neglected to provide a thread in which you can discuss Gvardiol. I'll get right on to rectifying that glaring error, please bear with me.

Can you also add one where we discuss the writing ability of each ITK?! ??‍

You fancy a tilt for top spot, admit it.

As @Archibald&Crooks said above, better to discuss this in his player thread. There is plenty good info there on him already.
