The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 3rd June 2019

[THOWIG]

JJ previously mentioned a fans favourite. Would say Dier and Alli fit that category.

Lads, for your own asses

Where are we going with this thread?

I’d not expect Dele, he has a deal till 2024 like Harry and whenever he’s sold will be for a huge profit and at his age, with his gifts, he’s very likely to get better. Dier, however, only has two years. There’s also Vertonghen with one year remaining, at his age it would make sense, and he’s one of our least divisive, most popular players.

Personally, I would keep Dier - his versatility and capacity to fill in at CB or RB, as well as CM, is a real asset, as is his attitude. These types of players (think John O’Shea, Phil Neville etc) were v valuable for Ferguson during Utd’s best years.

It’s not the hope that kills you, it’s the guessing who the Fans’ Favourite is

Him replacing Alderwereld us comparable to Carrick being replaced by Zokora

A big drop in quality

Remembered some of you were entralled by this signing

How thy say the lords name in vain

All this wait after the exciting ITKs is killing me.

Current fans fav is Sissoko

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

To back this up JJ just confirmed on Twitter it's not Kane, Son or Winks.

It will be Lamela.

 

[eddiev14]

It will be Lamela.

Pretty sure he said fan favourite, not ‘Millenial vegan hipsters favourite’

 

[stonebrow]

Did JJ definitely say ‘fans favourite’ or a people coming to that conclusion when he said something on the lines of people would not expect these players to be sold?

 

[highpressmess]

JJ did confirm it's not Kane, Son, or Winks

When you couple JJs comments with Pochs comments, painful, etc... You would think it's Dier.

 

[Dirtysanchez6]

Could be sissoko considering his comments in the french media last month happy at spurs but if not in the bosses plans ....

Plus, Dier's so popular among the squad. He's a big character and would be missed.

Yeah exactly, pretty certain he's the one in question here.

Where did he say fan favourite as it wasn't on twitter?

It would certainly rankle feathers but I can see this. There probably won't ever be a time when we could sell him at a higher value, and with major changes in CM being planned for this window I could see it being the case that Poch sees a lessened role for him.

Same dynamic would apply to Lucas. Either one of those would be pretty unpopular given the past season but might make sense to Poch and Levy from a business perspective.

 

[Mr Pink]

And Dier was at heart of the battle of the Bridge....hence fan favourite.
