The Daily ITK and Transfer Discussion Thread - 12th August

Stale mate with Kane and City. Nothing seemingly progressing on what we would deem 'deadwood'. And a real slowing down of tangible links to players that improve us.

Really hoping clubs start blinking soon and we see some movement. Starting to get concerned again that we have another window where we won't deal satisfactorily with our issues.

I think this will continue to be the case until the Kane situation is resolved. Up until that point, Paratici is stuck between two stalls.

Presumably we have two lists of transfer targets:

List A - based on our current budget, subject to departures.
List B - much more ambitious and based on us getting the Kane money.

We won't want to rush to sign the players on List A until we know for sure we won't have the money sign the players on List B, so we're essentially in transfer limbo until City pay up for Kane or we slam the door on them for good.

In order for us to get anything done, there must be a deadline in place beyond which we simply refuse to negotiate with City at all. I expect as soon as that deadline passes there will be a sudden surge in transfer activity as we'll have clarity on which list to pursue. Until then, though, it's going to feel very slow.

We won't want to rush to sign the players on List A until we know for sure we won't have the money sign the better players in the same positions on List B, so we're essentially in transfer limbo until City pay up for Kane or we slam the door on them for good.

And this is why Hercs update yesterday is so frustrating. I really wanted Levy to make things really painful for City/Kane but now it’s time to conclude that situation and release Paratici from the current paralysis.

Hanging onto previous info that said when things go quiet it means Paratici is near closing deals

on a bit of anti levy stuff: Dont worry too much…as soon as Levy has an acceptable bid for the club he will be off…and thats another reason why CL qualification and on field success is so important to Levy…
on kane replacements/time running out: Plans are in place….the Kane game will finish playing out, which is imminent….
so that means kane is staying?: I wouldnt bet on it….
