The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 12th August 2014

He refused to name the transfer target, a Premier League midfielder, but did admit the club had been given permission to discuss personal terms with the player, who is expected to arrive in south London this week for a medical.

Palace will table a bid for another player in the next few days as they attempt to strengthen Tony Pulis’ squad.

“Hopefully we have got another one nearly done today,” said Parish. “That should be in the public domain tomorrow or the day after.

“We’ve got a bid going in on another player in the next day or so. We’re confident we’ll be more or less where we want to be by kick-off time, maybe a little bit behind, but by the time the window closes… exactly what we want to achieve.”

When asked about the mystery midfielder, Parish added: “We have a bid in for a player tonight.

“We’ve had permission to talk to the player. We are very close to personals with the player. Hopefully he will be down for a medical tomorrow and with any luck we’ll get him in the squad for Saturday.

The first bolded part suggests to me that one more player and that's it. the second part (He will be down) suggests that he (the current one) isn't a Spurs player at all but a player from a more northerly location.

That could be Martin Kelly, they've had a £2m bid accepted for him

All the speculation on the Palace forums about this midfielder is about Cork, Shelvey, Nzonzi or Yacob.

You mean the defender, Martin Kelly

Logically Pulis would be looking for experienced players to help keep them up. Maybe Benny or Dawson? I remember reading about them being interested in Daws earlier this summer, was that ITK or just paper talk?

Edit: *Hides*

 

[Mr Pink]

Said it'll be in the public domain "today or tomorrow." A quick look at media links shows Zaha on a 2m loan move. Makes sense. I think we can comfortably state that those midfielder comments are in regards to Zaha.

I think our whole squad, from defense to attack, has players that would interest them that we would sell, so it's incredibly difficult to pinpoint one without more information at this time.

Its not Zaha, that was a separate conversation.

Would Dawson be classified as midfield in a Pulis side?

Midfield playmaker.

Must be Carroll if it's a midfielder. Palace couldn't afford Levy's asking price for Holtby- they'd surely be quoted in excess of £10m.

 

[Spurger King]

If you hadn't shit out of tagging him you'd have found out by reply.

I thought about tagging him for a reply, but I just don't have that kind of time.

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

But how do we know it's a Spurs player?

we don't other than a guess from what the goat said

 

[Hoopspur]

Fuck a duck. We are going round in circles. In fact like a one legged duck on a duck pond round.

 

[RJ1882]

Zaha?

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

I hope its Eriksen tbh

 

[bigpalacios]

Pin the tail on the donkey thread....
My fucking favourite of all time.

 

[St José Dominguez]

Freund?

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Are you privy to the alleged negotiations?

Yes.....i am super-duper-whoopa ITK.

Privy enough?

 

[dirtyh]

Lmfao. Some of you need a wank break. Boy are we desperate for positive itk, it's like world war Z in here.

 

[Norvern Munkey]

Is it gomes? Or steve sedgeley? Or hotshot fucking hamish?

 

[topper]

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how to slueth the facts and not come up with BAfuckingE as the answer

You 'slueth' away, you'd have the facts nailed on when you actually start proper sleuthing!

 

[spursfan77]

I'm just glad that there's teams out there that want the players we have that we don't want.
