    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 28th August 2021

    Couldn’t agree more. Rebuilds take multiple windows, this is just the start. Also too much change too soon can lead to instability negatively impacting results. Players like Winks, Sanchez, Doherty… clearly back themselves to find form and play their way into the new managers plans, rather than...

    Harry Kane

    Given Kane’s recent comments (which aren’t new, just now mean something different giving our faltering progress) and growing news from ITK and media, you would suspect they’re trying to position Kane to have an option to exit next summer if no progress is made. Especially given it takes...

    The Transfer Wishlist Thread

    The fallout from COVID19 will have considerable impact on our transfer targets and expenditure. As stated above there will be clubs needing to sell creating opportunity and economic uncertainty will reduce the likelihood of bigger money offers for star players (i.e. Kane) - Levy has no need to...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 3rd August 2019

    So if I understand correctly the latest ITK suggests... 1) Eriksen now won’t sign the verbally agreed deal, so we have no choice but to sell, but Madrid aren’t following up their earlier rumblings so Levy is pushing him north to Utd who will pay 2) We now want/need 2 of Fernandes, Lo Celso and...

    Best XI 2019/2020

    Agree with LexingtonSpurs largely, although still wonder/hope Dier will be moved back to CB, where his passing and mobility limitations are less exposed. Particularly as I see less of a need for a traditional DM with the likes of Sissoko, Ndombele and Winks in midfield. Half expect Wanyama to be...

    Complete Our Squad: 3 Players

    CM - Rabiot Rumour that won't go away, can see us really pushing for this. CF - Berahino Very much a Levy signing, concerns over his attitude. CF - Ricky Lambert Surprised there hasn't been more talk of him as Kane's backup - knows Poch and the system and cheap. *Agree that Carrick isn't a...

    Your realistic squad for next season

    Squad & Transfers Assessment

    With a week to go until the close of the transfer window, looking at our squad what business are we likely to conclude before it closes and in what position will that leave us. Goalkeeper Lloris Friedel Gomes Lloris is obviously our undisputed number 1 with Friedel as back up. Likely to...

    Your REALISTIC First XI 2013/2014 season

    GK: Lloris/Friedel/Archer Need to look at a replacement for Friedel (2014 contract) in January, unless Archer is considered able to make the step up RB: Walker/Naugthon AVB seems to rate Naughton, whose improved as the season has gone on, providing additional cover at LB LB:Rose/(Fryers) BAE...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 31 August 2011

    With Bassong, Hutton, Palacios, Jenas, Bentley (completed), Dos Santos and Crouch seemingly likely departures. That leaves us with a first team squad of 21 (including Parker). Presuming Cahill is completed that leaves 3 spaces, which I can't imagine us not filling, or close to filling at least...

    Looking for help, delayed stream?

    I've got the same problem, I'm not going to be out of meetings until late tonight (don't ask, epic failure all round). Going to turn off my phone and watch it when i get back to the hotel room. Is there any chance someone could PM a link, so i don't end up finding out the score when i try find...

    All I want for 'January' is...

    Kranjcar will probably be on his way too, although we can't loose him and Bentley without suitable replacement being bought in. Diarra/Parker, Benzema/Carroll and Young would make us serious title contenders.

    All I want for 'January' is...

    What would you like to see happen in the January transfer window? (Couldn't see a thread on this already, but if there is please feel free to move/delete this) In: CM - Diarra or Parker - we can't always play Modric and Huddlestone away from home, need a more combative option Diarra -...
