The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 25th January 2022

Yeah, A&Cs post is literally only one page back. They can't help themselves can they.


They do. They have to replace Mane eventually so he would fit right in there.

And when Mana is looking to leave I'm sure they'll replace him but I can't see them doing it now. He's still there!
Makes no sense unless it's a leak by Porto to bump the price up.

Tell me you don’t know the first thing about business without telling me you don’t know about business.

Regardless of what you’re buying the first offer,, unless there is a price stuck to it, will always be too low.

That is a seriously simplistic view of negotiations.

There ain't no saving this window now. Until we start behaving like a big club we not gonna be one...Conte situation will be on a knife edge come the summer.

Bedwetting the truth

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Liverpool don’t even need him lol

Apparently Sarah would not extend his contract. Mane contract also ends at 2023 too. But tbh you can always have improvement with great players

 

[Ossie'sAardvark]

It's a shame Trix has decided not to post until the window closes, as aside from the ITK and interesting snippets of how things work behind the scenes, he is also a good level headed poster who doesn't go off the deep end at the slightest murmur of news good or bad. The like of which are seriously dwindling with each passing window.

TBH mate I think they'd posted what they knew and nothing has changed much.

These things happen, if we pushed 2 weeks earlier the same outcome was probably likely, just hope that we’ve got others in line because time is of the essence

Isn't everyone jumping the gun here?
He hasn't signed for Liverpool as far as I know and we dont even know they've put a bid in do we?
Apologies if I'm missing something.
Just woke up to a shit storm.

Sell Mane this summer or next, you already have successer bedded into new country and with team. It's what we should've done 4 years go. its smart and sensible

I think its the journos it's coming from, Ornstein, James Pearce, sky and others have all picked up on it ans are saying he is choosing them.

We know how this story ends.

Cue loads of smarmy one liners from people who either delight in the failure or take supporting spurs more serious than their real life...

Diaz picking liverpool over spurs (why wouldnt he - without spurs blinkers on they are a bigger draw), traore picking barca over spurs (why wouldnt he...etc etc)... vlahovic picking juve.. (why w...)....

Getting into a frenzy over a possible signing, talking yourself into nirvana assuming its like buying a bottle of milk (in this case theres one bottle of milk and it has a choice of fridges all over the world- does it wanna sit in your plucky beko or does it wanna sit in one of those fancy ones with ice makers and recent champions league trophys)..

The ITK guys do a great job of feeding us titbits of what may happen..... that may is underlined several times, highlighted and has flashing lights around it, but bejebus christ dont autocorrect it into will.

We will sign players but we are maybe guilty of chasing the dream signings .. hopefully we will now point the crosshairs at ones that want us.

 

[daryl hannah]

Bbc gossip relay a report from Ojogo in Portugal saying he’s signed for Liverpool.

you can say Portuguese media etc. etc. but that’s pretty bold.

Ornstein said liverpool on course to sign him

 

[kremlyn]

Ornstein?

He of Arsenal knowledge and F all else?

 

[Trees]

Those rumours will start on 1st Feb and not stop until he goes or is finally backed eith a lot of money.

The outcome of this window really could affect Conte's longevity at the club. Thats why its so saddening and frustrating whats going on rn.

At least with Conte we know that he will not be pissballed about for more than one window.

Faacking Sarah, I can’t stand her

 

[leray]

I don't like that smug bastard with his stupid gunner smile as much as anybody here, but all the usual Liverpool journos are also reporting this plus he called many things right last summer.

 

[heinsmit]

Ornstein, Portuguese press, the head football writer for the BBC, Kilpatrick. No point being in denial
