The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 26th August 2015

I can see people really get pissed off if we sign Bolassie.

 

[RobjDerby]

Bolasie = we have enough predictably unpredictable wingers. Can't see it actually happening.

Good to hear that we expect more out goings too.

Poch wanted a trimmed squad and I want what Poch wants!!

Bolasie for me really depends on how much the transfer would actually be for. I mean, 20m is definitely a no-go in every sense of the word but for something like £12m it could actually turn out to be a good deal if all other targets become inavailable. He's not as bad as a lot of people make him out to be.

I'm watching you all.

I just made a chocolate blancmange. #coys

Bloody hell you lot, you've made PT shit himself.

 

[wiggo24]

Ade, Lennon, Fazio off. Lamela/Townsend possibly leaving also, depending on interest.

That's what I'd guess. Hopefully Townsend gets an offer from a team like S'ton. Genuinely feel that, with the proposed increased pace and movement in the front 4 (if we get our signings), a creative player like Lamela will thrive.

I think Bolasie is London roadman dialect for "scapegoat"

Not a chance we close 4 deals in 5 days. 2 deals would be par, 3 would be excellent, 4 would be erotic.

In the real scheme of things, if the way Spurs conduct their business effects your life to the extent where you're losing your mind like you are, find another hobby.

Realistic expectations give you the ability to consider that the ITK has been positive and accurate because Spurs are changing things. The amount of legwork it takes to get a player and a fee that is best for the club is such a tough task. I still can't fathom the idea that many users have an expectation that this team has oil money or the power to just buy without caution or concern. More importantly, if Spurs ever were to perform or conduct that way, you would see a team that conducts poor business.

Onward and upward, as long as the ITK is positive and the whole group of the information whores continues to provide great info, you have to ride it out. If things were that and you'd be seeing and hearing different things from the ITK lords about Poch and the squad. And say what you will, but NONE of us know how Illaramendi, Son, Kramer, or Bender would translate to our team or the game. That's not saying they would be anything short of fanastic but it's not saying they are a shoe in for gold (Paulinho). Prime example of that is 2013.

If anything, you should be excited we are gearing up for a levy time that should be memorable. All signs are pointing to positive endings and a best case scenario out of a marginal situation.

I'm wondering where we are going with this window. We seem to be running out of players to buy, scrambling around, and now we are going back on ourselves.
We had all all the time in the world and its nearly all gone.

 

[Parkie]

Maybe Spurs and United should start charging commission on all renegotiated transfers.

Living in Manchester has been quite funny laughing at United's bid for Ramos. A lot of them really thought they were in with a chance. Seriously deluded.

Still, signing Pedro will soften the blow for them...

We do like a good scapegoat, but I was purely speaking from a POV where he wont have a big enough profile to satisfy people [if they ever can be] after we have been linked with a lot better player.

 

[glospur]

Pinch of salt and all but Bolasie? Really? Ugh, gross.

 

[Lou3000]

This week could get hectic. Fazio, Ade and Lennon all seem to be very likely to go. I still believe Berahino to be a deadline day deal (and those three deals should give us the capital to cover it). But the Lamela/Townsend potential outs and this new ITK are what really make it interesting. If you could unload Townsend for 15m and pick up Bolasie for 12m, I don't think it would be considered a bad bit of business (even if you don't particularly rate Bolasie). Lamela cash hopefully just makes all these deals more likely.

I still think Austin (though we aren't linked) being out there creates an interesting deadline day. Will QPR bargain price him that we'd pick him up in a Levy Deadline Day Deal (in addition to Bera, Unnamed wiinger, and CM)?

Next Tuesday can't get here fast enough

2013 says hello.

 

[WiganSpur]

Would not go a penny higher than £8m for Bolasie personally

Fixed that to reflect real value.

2013 says hello.

2014 says "hello" back.

2015 says, "you're so 2013 and 2014"

Monaco have just announced the sale of their left back to PSG, their greatest rivals in France

Al so up for sale is Moutino (their vice captain) and they now have 2 loanees in their first team squad.

This demonstrates they are trying to generate cash from selling players.

Are we in for Martial again - don't know
Do we stand a chance of landing him if we want him - yes if we bid a decent amount !

and Monaco have just taken LB Coentra on loan from RM.

So Monaco sell a LB to bitter rivals PSG and replace him with a LB loaned in.

Raising more money from playing squad

 

[Parkie]

You shouldn't take ANY of it as gospel.

Not even stories about Jesus
