The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 26th August 2021

We’ve known he’s now involved since the manager search concluded though. Trix I believe said that things might look positive at the start but long-term didn’t like the outlook.

Have we used him much with the incomings so far?

Mendes is at the Wolves end for the most part.

I know we are panicking a bit. Told to hold tight, and don’t follow everything media saying, as they been fed a spin?

Even though our manager is a close friend/client (can’t remember which)

I really hope you mean “SC is panicking” and not “Spurs are panicking”!

His first client!

appreciate it herc. hard not to panic given the history of our transfer market habits, but i’ll try my best!

Wolves can whistle as much as they like. Speak to Mendez.

I think as soon as the Ronaldo situation gets cleared up this will be next on the agenda for him, I’d expect some more movement here when that happens

So now we're waiting for a transfer that has nothing to do with us to go though before we can complete a deal?

Spurs are going to make me watch SSN deadline day arent they, those shits

 

[dellybelly]

All these shenanigans by Mendez are making me feel very uneasy. If he's trying to move one of his players on so that he can replace him with another one of his own players, that's got to be very close to unethical.

I may be in the minority in that I am not panicking.

Any signings we make make won't be playing on Sunday anyway, so in my mind there's no need to rush them through. Patience is the key as clubs will begin to panic the closer the deadline approaches.

Monday and Tuesday are gonna be fun!!

Edit, not for this thread. Apologies

That’s literally his entire MO. Why do you think Doherty was replaced by Semedo?

Well is THFC footing the bill for all the pants that have been shit in this morning?

Bold of you to assume we all wearing pants.

Corriere della Serra reporting that Kessie's wage demand has shocked Milan, and keep an eye on PSG and Tottenham who could step in. Sounds more like Spurs are just being used for negotiating leverage, but thought I'd mention it.

We're at peak brinkmanship time. Keep squeezing as much out of a deal as possible, even if we know we'll ultimately do the deal at what is being asked if necessary.

Why rush? Literally no advantage to signing a player today v 11.59pm on deadline day. They won't play Sunday and it's an international break after that. Plenty of time to acclimatise before the next game. It's a buyers market and deadline day is like an additional card in the deck for the side with the upper hand as teams get desperate.

I'm as desperate as anyone for players but for completely irrelevant and irrational reasons.
