The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 10th September

[chrissivad]

Are we able to get an Edouard thread or do we wait for some more solid concrete info? Be interested to learn about him.

Pick any thread, I'm sure someone will be talking about him already...

Exciting ITK today, thanks all for sharing.

If we do get a promising striker in that's an unbelievable window.

As Jose alluded striker biggest priority

player I’ve hinted at is our main choice but there is ownership issues

back up are Jimenez and Milik and king , there are 4 clubs now in for king

if we can shift players once we have striker then we stil,want the lb



I have not heard the Zambian lad mention at all

 

[jurgen]

Ownership issues you say...

 

[JayB]

To me that seems like a reference to the 40% sell-on fee that PSG have for Edouard.

Lol I just said this in the Edouard thread. The way we seem to react with pantomime shock to any complexities in deals is hilariously predictable.

Whether this happens or not, and I’m not too confident, I’m willing to bet that next week we hear something about an “unexpected PSG fee” or “sell on clause issues holding this up”. I’d assume there actually are some issues, I just know the way we operate it’s like a wired-up kid studying for finals who does no preparation whatsoever on the type of deal needed.

sorry but who is the player he has hinted at? he's mentioned so many players ive lost track?

Levy special: Loan Fee of 15 m with buying clause of 5 m, that can leave Paris with 2m lol

They already loved our Lo Celso deal I guess.

Who the bloody hell is the Zambian lad

EDIT: Oh, he means Patson Daka. Got it

 

[wrd]

Who the bloody hell is the Zambian lad

Daka

I suspect it will be whoever we sign.

Who the bloody hell is the Zambian lad

Our former savior Daka

What do you mean by “we”?

 

[dagraham]

Yep.

Next.

Ali on COYS (he's had decent ITK in the past) is convinced that the striker in Edouard

Would be ‘under the radar’ hell of a player, would be a gamechanger if we signed him. Can also play out wide in 4-2-3-1 so would be absolutely ideal in so many ways BUT not particularly a ‘Jose style’ striker but he’s the one id want. Great that we’ve finally had ITK on him. ??????

I would not put it past Levy to suggest that, and Celtic would I imagine be more than willing to do it.

 

[PrettyColors]

Our ITKs and journalists mainly

I do realize Levy is not an idiot and they’ve had years of preparation for targets, it does however seem as if links have flitted from striker to striker until hitting a snag of resistance which to the untrained eye suggests a scatter brained approach - and one that is 100% not repeated in searches for other positions.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Such a slow day yesterday then this absolute stream of ITK today about trying for Bale and Edouard possibility and striker on track. Thanks to all you ITK’s amazing stuff!

I’m off for a cup for Horlicks and a lie-down, it feels like Dybala all over again ????

 

[SpartanSpur]

As much as I prefer Edouard, does a sell-on really equate to ownership issues?

I believe Rafael Leao also has some issues hanging over his head in relation to how he left Sporting for Lille. I imagine he's appealed but back in March he was ordered to pay Sporting 16.5m in compensation for terminating his contract. Now I imagine Milan and Leao want Lille to foot that bill as they had he benefit of getting him on a free, but I doubt they will be forthcoming!

Seems like the kind of ridiculous scenario we would get ourselves into.

Plus the Portuguese league is one of the biggest in europe for 3rd party ownership.

Was about to say the same thing, that isn't ownership issues. To me ownership issues is more like a 3rd party issue that owns the player or image rights (like Dybala)

I am not saying the player is Dybala, just used him as an example.
