The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY 31st August 2021

Sky are reporting Arsenal have agreed to sign Tomiyasu, so I expect that one definitely isn't happening for us.

 

[rossdapep]

Okay I'm heading to the gym to become swole like our next (hopeful) signing

keep arguing about the right backs and traore's finishing please

Don't forget the baby oil!

I always said he was rubbish

 

[oohaahedgar]

Emerson is a brilliant signing stop worrying about how many fricking right backs we have. If Aurier doesn’t leave then he doesn’t play simple. Emerson improves the first 11 without a doubt

Exactly, it’s been our weakest position since Walker left.

 

[Pebble Dash]

In the last hour we’ve had:

1) We’re still in for Traore and our chances are greater than 50%
2) We have the money should we decide to pay the asking fee
3) We’re still in for a CM
4) Emerson looks as good as done
5) Ignore the press, they don’t have a clue what is going on

That’s pretty positive news yet a lot of the recent comments are focusing on point 5 (believing the press guess work) and moaning that Emerson = no forward, again ignoring the fact we’ve been told the money is there if we want to spend it.

 

[HotSprut]

A bit worried about our goal scoring capabilities this season..

 

[rebrab]

I think (guess) we’re trying for a surprise late one. Our typical behaviour is to hijack others deals that have fallen down in other ways but the price is “out there”, or to pick up players that are easily to acquire late in the market.

 

[Colonel_Klinck]

A big meltdown by the looks of things ?

Standard Spurs then ? The internet gods promised something big, they didn't say I'd like it.

I wouldn't say the press have no idea what's going on(with the exception of JPB). I'd say Ally's tweet was where we were last night if that makes sense.

 

[Roberts84]

We are also still looking at possibly bringing in another CM. No names given but we are still in the mix.

That’s good news. There must be a few loans from Spanish and Italian clubs being offered today that may not have been available previously. I assuming we will be looking to loan a CM.

If only we had the PL's golden boot winner from last season in our team

 

[Only 1 Spurs]

A bit worried about our goal scoring capabilities this season..

Absolutely.... if a striker doesn't materialise today we better pray Kane has an injury free season and Sonny keeps scoring consistantly all season. Or else we are going to be pretty dry on the goals front.

 

[RobjDerby]

If only we had the PL's golden boot winner from last season in our team

AND Number 4 too.

Which is exactly what i thought when i read his article. Thanks for confirming.

Yep, if our two best players and highest goal scorers, worth a combined £200m+ don't score any goals this season we're fucked. This story is also true for every other football team.

 

[JaySpur]

I was just about to ask about JPB. Thanks for pre-empting my question

 

[Church]

Whenever Nuno is asked about transfers he talks about the team needing balance.
We are certainly not balanced currently

 

[Tiffers]

Whats this got to do with Paratici ?
We were unbalanced even before he came in.
To me, it looks like Nuno said he wanted a new RB - Paratici delivered with Emerson. If we cant move 1 player on, why is that on him ?
Tanganga became a RB because Nuno been playing him there - its not by design we have him as RB

Jose also identified him as a RB rather than a CB.

 

[Spurs Lodge Kittens]

To me it looks like we need to be ready to accept that there will be squad members left out in the cold, collecting wages but not registered. A la Aurier. If Levy is prepared to do that then I'm sure another deal or two will happen.

Maybe even some quick late loans in and out will be options

 

[ProfCalculus]

Jose couldn’t identify his reflection.
