The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 9th June 2019

[Ron Burgundy]

We’ve had ITK telling us that’s a bucket of turd

From who?

 

[Metalhead]

Don't take the two week timeline literally.

At this stage, I can't see too many people doing that.

 

[BENNO]

This is it. CDM, RB and CB. While he might not be master of any currently, his utility lies in his utility and that can often allow a club to invest in other more needy places in a squad

Yep, agree that Dier is useful as a versatile squad player (and on field leader). However, if he wasn't happy to be seen as a versatile squad player and wanted to be a starting midfielder, then i wouldn't be adverse to him leaving given the right sort of fee. He's one of those players that fans like and wouldn't want to see playing against us in the PL, but if we get the targets that are spoken about then he doesn't start many games and that would be tough at his age. He'd command quite a decent fee as well so given that he's not 'home grown' i'd be surprised if the idea of offloading him (if a big bid came in) wasn't given a lot of thought. In an ideal world where all our players are happy and we've shed loads of money, i'd rather have him with us than against us.

hertyid on dier to manu story: Every part of this story is fiction.

Thanks Dov, there’s a story?

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

From who?

Hercules has been vocal on Eriksen being set on Madrid but will more than likely sign a four year deal with us subject to ‘realistic clauses’. With Zidane being keen on Pogba, the pursuit of Eriksen has cooled and he’s not indicated a desire to play elsewhere

 

[Flashspur]

Realistic clauses? What is that a euphamism for? Like a 25m release clause?

 

[dovahkiin]

hertyid on ndom: This is not a done deal but it sounds close enough now.

I like that

You beat me to it by a minute you superwhore!!

 

[Clark28]

Until he's on the site holding our kit, it's not close enough for me

Nice, should keep people happy until parisnews8daysaweek tweet that madrid see him as 4th choice and might bid.

Based on that, this is really promising. It’s going to be so monumental, actually signing someone that I might need emotional coaching to help me manage my emotions

 

[Mattspurs1982]

Great update from HY. Must admit I have the twitches with the PSG rumours. Please let’s just get a big one done

 

[Primativ]

Great news.

Hertyid doesn't say much, but when he does....

 

[mark87]

I always breathe a sigh of relief when I see new RO entries has more likes than informative ratings.

Thanks for the whoring yet again, Dov.

 

[TEESSIDE1]

If and when we get the N’Dombele deal over the line it should be the catalyst for others to follow as it shows real intent to both target and obtain quality players.

My heart-rate actually went up reading that. Wish I wasn’t such a sad prick.

I wouldn't say you were sad.

From the sounds of that, maybe just clauses and a couple other details? Hopefully wrapped up soon

More like levy haggling over the payments of the deal. Probably wants to pay the 60m over 2-3 years
