    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 30th August

    We need to get rid of four foreign players before bringing in another foreign player. Post in thread 'The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 28th August' https://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/index.php?threads/the-daily-itk-discussion-thread-28th-august.154135/post-8505364

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 28th August

    I did a write up on this. I hope this helps. It also should add context to what ITK like WLB, Trix, Herc, and HS88 are saying. (Mods feel free to move this elsewhere or suggest where it belongs if this isn't appropriate for this forum, but I do think it helps add context to the discussion.)...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 28th August

    Yes, we currently have Skipp, Maddison, Forster, Davies, and Sessegnon as likely HG to be rostered this year and you have to figure that Sessegnon, Forster, and Davies are not here for the long-term. Add to that Sarr and Udogie as U21, and Sarr ages out next year, so we need to start planning...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY!

    This is a great post that demonstrates the importance of patience. By City waiting they ARGUABLY got a younger MORE talented player for less money. Every year we get excited to jump at the targets we want at high prices. "Just pay for Traore" (at 50M and this year for pennies comparatively)...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY!

    But we were still actively looking for the right deals throughout, so why say that? From the club's perspective I think you talk about the window to the fans after it is over, but as much as we all like to see how the sauce is made and know every detail, I don't think it is the clubs...

    How does the club set expectations? They are generally silent on transfer business. Do you mean media, the Twitter sphere, message boards and our own desires?

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY!

    I think the business we did to date was great and the team is much better positioned for success this year. The idea that there was a one window solution to win the league is kind of crazy to me. I am super optimistic that Conte appears to be happy and that we are looking at this with some...

    Nicolò Zaniolo

    T To add to that, it’s clear things have changed since Conte arrived, which was after last Summers window. It’s hard to not see that we have done things differently and we are going to have to wait to see if Paratici with Conte is different than he was with Nuno. Anecdotally it feels very...

    Player Watch: Clément Lenglet

    I don't think anyone is confident of that. The idea is that if there isn't a long-term target available to spend on this year that we are better off waiting until one is available. It may not be either of those two when that happens, because one thing that I noticed quite a lot this window is...

    Piero Hincapie

    I don’t think I saw this discussed yet, but perhaps Hincapie’s age is one of the important factors as to why he is a target now? If he is under 21 he wouldn’t count towards this years international player roster limit. In other words, maybe it is about fitting all the other pieces together in...

    Player Gleison Bremer

    Agreed, and another hidden point in there with all the worrying about exact fit. Both Dier and Davies played other positions before they settled into their current roles. I would like to think most players are a little more adaptable than only one very specific role in one specific system.

    I understood. I was just messing with you, because nothing you say gets taken quietly.

    LOL, this post won't be taken as quiet.
