The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 26th August 2013

ricky alvarez is rubbish.

 

[beast89]

He was charging all over the place several times. Had a terrible afternoon by his standards though. Didn't see anything to say he's proper screwed.

Not proper screwed he just looke a bit stiff imo

 

[ohh Teddy Teddy]

Interesting, that agent made 12.5m euro on the Pastore transfer to PSG as he part owned Pastore. (according to wiki)

 

[TheAmerican]

I made a Banega thread, as it turns out we have been linked pretty well with him in Valencian press in the last day-or-so.

Dunno, I'll take your word for it. Might not be at full fitness is all. We've covered ourselves at least if the worst does happen wrt his condition. I'm expecting Sandro to start our next game to get some proper minutes after his little lay-off.

 

[thejames]

Ever Banega please! Exactly what we need.

 

[Rooga]

Ever Banega on there as well....solid little playmaker.

Would be good to link him up with Soldado again.

Having done a bit of a scout around, none of Simonian's players interest me and i'd be surprised if we were in for any of them.
Banega's alright but Pastore would be daft money considering what he's actually done recently, if ever.

 

[wpd659]

Just a bit had to have another lay down

Lol know how u feel mate!!

 

[Dirty Ewok]

Would be good to link him up with Soldado again.

A bit deeper laying CM than i would have expected though, but he can make a nice pass.

 

[beast89]

Dembele has looked a little more lost with the rampant Paulinho popping up everywhere, difficult to tell if thats to do with the ITK on injury or just a readjustment of role in the team.

Yea I can see that, your probably right

Haven't seen much of him. What's he like? Creative?

Pretty amazing deal - in a year and a half his value went up from £6 mil to £36 mil.

 

[Nanky_1988]

It will be for pastore we have enough cm so it wouldn't be for Banega!! Pastores been out of form but he'd be good in the number 10 role i thinkk!

 

[VegasII]

Could be the agent knows we have cash and wants to help us buy a player...cough cough.

 

[EJWTartanSpur]

Irregardless of price or whatever, I could see Pastore fitting in. He's not really that different at all from the likes of Eriksen and Willian - he can play all across the AMs, has a bit of guile vision and craft and likes a flairy pass or two. The form at PSG is a worry though - there may be some issues with fitting in to their tactics and the big influx of superstars over a short period of time making things disjointed, but the French league is not anywhere near as strong as the PL and you'd expect him to have done more.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

Banega is a good player but not what we need tbh.

 

[KILLA_SIN]

Somone, somewhere mentioned Baldini may have enquired about pastore after Williangate I remember reading that.

 

[Grey Fox]

The Journalist's stuff links to a name I was given last night

 

[phieffect]

must be Pastore....doubt Valencia would sell us Banega a month after selling Soldado

their fans would riot
