The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 21st May

[Archibald&Crooks]

If there are others (and there probably are) that a I've missed feel free to PM me, but the PM you send MUST have "A&C You have a 12 inch chopper" as the title otherwise I won't read it. Don't clog up the thread. PM me.

So people post in the thread. I'm not sure who is the bigger ****. Probably me for expecting anything else. Yeah, I'll run with that.

But yeah, Fazza and David Villa, thanks!

Now if someone can let me know who said bap bap americano....

Poll is up and running.

Poll is up and running.

we are signing Lewandowski?

 

[dagraham]

Would hate (HATE) to lose Victor. Not had the best season but hasn't been long back from injury and is an absolute monster when on form. Please NO!

Have to say the Wanyama stuff concerns me. Unless we feel his knee injury has screwed him completeky, you don’t go from being one of our best performers and first name on the team sheet in a season we finished 2nd to being surplus in one year.

He is simply a better midfielder than Dier.

 

[dagraham]

ali z on bale: we have talked to club and Bale (rep) possible but more a levy thing IMO, not that Poch said no, do i think it will happen 30/70 imo, a lot of cards need to fall our way for this to come off.

One of the only times I’m hoping Levy interferes and gets his own way.

Anyone else slightly concerned that we seem willing to rip our squad up the squad thats helped us to our best premier league finishes?

Theres no guarantee that the players we replace them with will settle or be better?

Not really. Speculate to accumulate, got to take risks.

Squad definetely needs a bit of a freshen up, but there is a fine line between that and tearing it apart! The Wanyama info is a bit of a surprise, he would be someway down my list of players to sell!

We are not going to sell all of the players that we are willing to listen to offers for, and out of the players listed only Dembele was actually a starter. I think it just means we will sell if the price is right a couple of fringe, in and around the first team, players. Not the core of the team. We are not going to rip that.

No, what we are doing is trying to maintain our core and improve whats around it, if that means selling very good players for good money that can be seen to help the squad as a whole then so be it.

I wasn’t sure where I stood, but underlining that text really made it hit home with me

I think he is though, Herc said yesterday he thought we would only sell him for a very good offer.

Defn POTL and the consensus was it was Rossi - cant remember whether it was ever confirmed.

Yes and no. As per the ITK, the biggest loss would be Alderweireld and even he hasn't played much this year. Wanyama hasn't played much either and I'm wondering if he's concerned that Dier is first choice for the DM role - he's certainly one you'd keep unless there's something that we don't know about though.

Dembele always needed replacing due to his injury problems and age anyway, so now is as good a time as any provided that we can get a quality replacement.

In terms of a lot of the incoming player ITK we've had, Bale is almost less of a risk than most because he knows the league and the club, and isn't at the World Cup so would have a full pre-season with Poch.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Wasn't that about rossi?

what? bap bap americano? Blue & Yellow?

Who knows?

That's why it's so infamous/notorious. It could have been anybody.

 

[Sweetsman]

I can understand Victor not being happy. Can’t really play him and Dier in the same team, and they’re first team players. IF we’re interested in Wilmar (whatever) then that puts that issue onto the back burner for another season.

We might be thinking of getting Wilmar, but has anyone asked Fred? He'll have to look after Pebbles by himself, and we all know his attitudes are a bit Stone Age.

 

[WiganSpur]

If Wanyama and Dembele go, am I confident that we'll get 3 CMs of sufficient quality in? Nope.
