The Daily ITK Discussion Thread DEADLINE DAY!

[Hakkz]

They've got Busquets, Vidal, Rakitic, Coutinho, Arthur, Rafinha, Denis Suarez plus two youngsters to bring through in Carles Alena and Sergi Samper, not to mention the Riqui Puig kid we were after early this summer a little further down the line.

Weird squad. Lots of players but I don't think they will be close to winning CL this year.

Barcelona fire sale continuing with Paco Alcacer leaving for Dortmund today. Could be possibilities there in January if we're looking at midfielders in Rafinha & Denis Suarez if we deem that as a need at that point.

For a second there I thought you were going to suggest that Sissoko could be off to Barcelona .

They've done a pretty poor job upgrading and adding to that squad over time. I like the additions the've made in the past year but not sure if it'll be enough.

I'm buzzing we didn't sell Toby to a rival. At least we put down a marker there. I know we would of had they offered a huge sum, but I'm glad we gave them no encouragement and acted like a big Club.

The market is fucking daft, levy getting slated but he's a genius. Keeping all our key players, and getting most of them on improved contracts was the most important thing.

I'm sure we would of liked Martial, but we're obviously somewhat restricted given the larger picture concerning the stadium.

Fuck wasting money on players we don't really want just to appease a bunch of fucking babies on here who want some instant gratification around deadline day - and I include myself in that, but I'm standing back and appreciating the bigger picture now.

All the more sweet when we rip it up this season without spending wildly in the transfer market. We'll have that little gem to throw at the rest of them now!

Just reading that again on deadline day makes me incredibly proud ?

If Paulinho was good enough for them.....

Even though you wrote “Would Of” ?

Terrible grammar, I'll edit that basic mistake!
