The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 7th December 2012

[SugarRay]

I take you are taking the piss, right?

Nah, it's in the metro. Bound to be true obviously!

 

[beats1]

As said in the Negredo thread no way is he worth £17million, there are better option imo at that price, he is a £12 million player tops imo

 

[SugarRay]

I think he is better than Damiao and well suited to the lone front role. I think he would be a hit in the English game too.

Spursinsider done nothing but badger me for info last summer. He pmed me every hour it drove me potty.

Anyone get on Keane for QPR?

 

[Snarfalicious]

I wish we could pry away Philippe Coutinho from Inter Milan. I absolutely love that kid's talent.

I've seen no odds - and you wouldn't get a bet on a loan anyhow... It will be a loan tho right? Cos I don't see RK moving from LA...

Great on FM. What more does Levy need to know?

Wether or not he'll cost a half a packet of woodbines, three polo mints, an elastic band and some bellyfluff. He might haggle on the bellyfluff

Woodbines. Showing your age there.

 

[Beni]

Mountinho and an 'Isco or Willian' type of player, and we'll look really strong in the new year, and easily be in top 4 if not higher.

I think Isco would play in the central 3 of a 4-3-3, so really it's Moutinho or Isco (paired with Dembele and Parker/Sandro).

For the AMR we'd need someone with a goal threat. I think Willian could do it, but I am concerned he doesnt score enough.

We'd control the crap out of games with those players on the team sheet though!

Some ITK of TFC:

Who: NewMate
When: 28th November
Where: The Fighting Cock

He's rated 7/10 in reliability.

• • • They'll be NO last minute madness this January. All tied up early doors I think
    • Erikson is a REAL option if Moutinho deal breaks down again
    • Ince - Sherwood/Rosenthal rates him highly
    • Mountinho is 50/50. Levy pissed of Porto by sodding about over €2M up front

 

[KaribYid]

Who: NewMate
When: 3rd December
Where: The Fighting Cock

• Info: Moutinho isn't happening. We are going in with an offer but think he wants 'Bigger' club.
• So Erikson is next on list.
• As for goals from the side... Willian looks good to go
  
  Tom Ince, don't think we'll land him. Utd, city, and Chelsea all in front of us

Info: Livermore on loan to France or USA, so has to be someone coming in

 

[KaribYid]

And finally:

Who: NewMate
When: 7th December
Where: TFC

Info:

• Zaha - Watching heavily. Between us and goons

• With everything there at the moment going on, we're quite strong. Also AvB is very very well respected inside the club and has a few players outside the club wanting to be part of this because of the positive stuff coming from our players.

• Links to anyone are hard to come by now compared to Harry's days. Much more tight lipped inside the club, they're wont be a huge amount of itk coming out and if there is, it'll be guesswork or just BS - we're very different now it seems.

 

[Montasura]

Just wondering what we are allowed to do, if anything, with the journo type tweets, the likes of Roger Morgan etc?

 

[beats1]

It winds me up when we are interested in signing a player who has got outperformed for the U21's by someone already on our books who isnt getting a look in and as for Zaha, I cant see him leaving Palace he is worth £60mill if he is the difference to getting them up

The same went for Adel with QPR they may not get that money again but the lure of the PL is worth more than earning a quick pay check

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

Personally, I think that over the last couple of transfer windows (or since the advent of Twitter), there's been a blurring of what we used to call 'ITK' and journalistic utterings. For me, ITK is the stuff we get from the usual suspects like BEN, Noodles etc etc and not what Gimme a Ballbag or some chimpanzee who works for the Daily Mail might say. Perhaps it should go into the players threads rather than in here.

I dont recall ever seeing NewMate's name before, what's his record like?

I like the sounds of the Eriksen stuff

I can't remember ever seeing the name before. I guess we'll wait and see how his stuff pans out and maybe start adding him to the RO once we get an idea of how solid his info may or may not be.

Am I right in thinking that he basically says we will be getting Willian and we also want to land Eriksen?
