Youri Tielemans

Get the distinct impression he has final say, too.

Maybe? Between the four of them though it's leaving plenty of fans frustrated. Thing is, like so many other things of this nature, we'll never know 100%

If Poch turns this guy down after Levy and Hitchen (who is literally a fucking Ligue 1 specialist and knows his shit) gave it the green light, I’ll fully start believing that Poch has totally thrown his toys out of the pram and is doing this to the detriment of the club.

He literally said he had to rest the likes of Toby and Eriksen because we couldn’t rotate and now he’s turning down players who are 10x better than what we already have in the squad.

How does selling GKN help in getting him. GKN isn't in the CL squads, so we would still have the same problem.

Dembele has left

 

[DFF]

Selling to buy is nothing to do with freeing up places and everything to do with Levy wanting to minimise spending.

Maybe @Trix or @Hercules or someone else can shed light (I'm sure it's been answered somewhere before), but a general question about our inner workings: Our transfer committee has 4 people, does it have to be unanimous to bring someone in? Or majority?

Edit: seems like Herc kind of answered it in his latest post in the ITK thread.

There was an article on f365 that suggested Poch was going to try and prove everyone wrong and that signings are not the be all and end all and that he could milk every last drop out of the squad.

Im a little concerned hes taking his pride too far.

This wouldn't be a bad Dembele replacement.

Young yet also experienced with a high ceiling. He would fit in with the Belgian boys in the team (although that number may diminish in the summer).

January signing would be ideal to give him the time to get used to our style of play and training methods before next season in our new stadium!

And Poch has said Foyth will get that spot. We need Llorente, Vic or Vorm to be sold before we can get a new foreign player

Nonsense. We could be out of the CL in a month. That’s no reason not to sign a player we need.

Think I'm right in saying that if the vote is tied it goes straight to a mankini clad tiddlywinks play-off.

Can't seem to find the link tho'.

just don't register one of them (should be vorm) FFS

 

[Duskwen]

I agree its stupid having Vorm as the 3rd choice and taking up a spot. But Poch has made it clear he won't leave them out of the squad.

 

[Mackan110]

Would be so good to get yuri and rabiot. But none will happen.

Poch probably don't want to but anyone so he later can say at a press that we tried but it's hard to find the right players

#bullshit

Excellent manger but he’s had a bit too much smoke blown up his arse, especially this season for obvious reasons

In my opinion I think it's only a go'er if Levy and Poch agree. Any other combination will not work because Levy and Poch both have to be happy for it to work.

But we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings!!

Except Janssen, fuck that guy.

Yes, like we tried but couldn't find one last summer. excuse excuse excuse...

 

[rossdapep]

It's pretty simple isn't it. Personally I'd just ditch GKN and tell Vorm he won't be in the CL squad but remain in the league, I think he will understand. Then let him leave in the summer.

 

[Japhet]

Leicester got 2 deals over the line for Pereira and Silva that we couldn't manage, so I wouldn't be surprised if they got Tielemans as well.

 

[Mr Pink]

With Poch saying he was optimistic the other day on signing someone, but not now, and Herc's little snippet - think we can firmly say, this ain't happening, nor is anything else ...

But we all knew that already, right?

Don't take ITk too seriously.

Things can change in an instant. Yes it's unlikely we'll make a signing but don't take every little snippet so seriously.

I doubt even Poch knows what's going to happen over the next three days. Transfers are fluid and complicated processes most of the time.
