The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 4th August 2015

[Amnesiac503]

Highly unlikely Levy would of sat in a public bar and said that aloud.

In Baltimore? It wasn't like he was shouting. Some random Yank Spurs fan just happened to be sitting directly next to his table. Also Under Armor headquarters is in Baltimore so he could very well have been having drinks with someone from there. I just looked at the thread again and he also mentioned Yedlin to Lyon. Yesterday Trix on the Yedlin thread said:

"Not in the Audi cup squad, coincidence? "

There was definitely a picture of Levy in the thread that but has since been deleted. I can post a link to the thread since it lines up with recent ITK if A&C is cool with that, otherwise you can find it by googling "reddit coys levy baltimore". I don't necessarily believe it I just think it would be awesome if it ended up being true, talk about a random encounter.

Perhaps now Rafael has gone to Lyon they won't take Yedlin as well.

Baltimore? Should have worn a wire.

I think you mean bulletproof vest.

 

[B.F.G]

Blimey! how long since there was last an uttering from Dragon before that!

Everyone commenting about levy being in jeans and tshirt in the picture makes me believe it. So yedlin to lyon (part ex for njie??) and fazio for cash?

Sounds good.

Dragon on FTL


told will be 2 strikers,mid and winger in


out ade,soldado,lennon and faz

I can't see us signing 2 forwards and a winger. Everything has been pointing towards 2 versatile LWFs/CFs.

Our squad is still too overloaded to bring in superfluous players.

Although I don't think Fazio has a long term future with us now, I think we'll keep him for another window or 2 while Wimmer is settling.

And we're not going to manage 8 major transfers in just 4 weeks.

 

[Lilbaz]

Perhaps now Rafael has gone to Lyon they won't take Yedlin as well.

I'm guessing everyone sees him as a winger now.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

No photos and no links please, we had ALL of this shit when it first broke and there's not much point in rehashing it now because the whole thread will just become a repeat of the first time.

Anyone who feels like it can obviously google it but we'd rather it all wasn't rehashed/discussed in here again for reasons given above. Lets concentrate on todays ITK not some from several weeks ago. I think we can all just accept that it ties in with the previous story and that should be enough.

 

[arunspurs]

Turn around of 8 players suggested (4 in 4 out) by ITK - looks like we will have a busy week. It would be awesome if we can at least get 2 in before weekend.

 

[spids]

I don't believe the waiting to buy before we announce ade stuff. The season starts in a few days, why would the buying / loaning club be cool with that?

It's also not like he has featured at all for us recently - so why would that matter?

I imagine it is because any club we're looking to buy a striker from will add money to their price if they know we've offloaded 2 of our 3 forwards and are desperate. Thus the club always say things like 'as of today xyz is still in our plans and can be an important player for us'. There is a difference between having to bring someone like Ade or Soldado back into the fold and motivating them (albeit very difficult once there head is out the door) and actually not even having them at the club at all.

Well played

 

[spids]

Maybe stones to chelsea fazio,lennon some cash to Everton for Mccarthy and Mirallas but we need to wait until chelsea bid what Everton wants first.

I like the idea of that. I think I am in a minority that rate Mirallas and he would be an upgrade on Lennon for a WF spot in terms of assists and goals.

 

[Twizzle]

Bit surprised to hear about Faz.

Ghostofarmo (on FTL via COYS)

I predict we will be spending 35-40million over the next few days.

Hmm wonder if that's enough to cover what we need.

Bargain at that price!

I predict we will be spending 35-40million over the next few days.

So that's 3 players in Levy's £10-15m bracket. Possibly 4 if it is net spend and we're selling Bobby. Amazing how all the ITK adds up this season compared to previous years.

That suggests 3 players. Berahino (£15-20m), Werner (£8m) and Bender (£12m)?

We are currently £15m in profit, which will go to £28m with Soldado, so that's feasible if we assume Lennon + say Carroll will make up the remaining £12m.

Sounds like opinion to me rather than ITK.
