The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 7th January

[Archibald&Crooks]

​

Here's another thread for discussion of ITK

I'm off to watch a John Wayne movie, practise walking like him and talking to Mrs A&C in his voice until she snaps and hits me over the head with a saucepan. At least that's what happened when I went all Humphrey Bogart on her.

Back soon pilgrims

Obviously we all are aware of Werner and hopefully Dragusin. This ITK got posted yesterday and is probably worth noting:

Nusa would be for the future and not related to this signing btw like sarr and destiny that deal if happens will be a buy to loan back for the season he’s got so many suitors . Jota was only linked from ange he wasn’t a major target on the list compiled he may have been later in the window if we failed for targets. The one ange wanted if gettable was the lad in Holland but don’t think the budget was there this month with a cb signing too . If Pierre goes we will get a cm. We like fofana at Monaco and Connor at Chelsea. However Phillips is probably the most achievable right now as of today that could change as always .

Interesting. That all sounds good and sensible, though I’m slightly surprised Ange likes Giminez (if that’s who it is).

A window of Drag, Werner in, Eric out would be great.

PEH out too would make sense for all parties. And a loan option for someone like KP would make a lot of sense in that scenario, though I wouldn’t die in a ditch if it didn’t happen given the players we have coming back.

This was also relevant I feel…

In Werner thread. (Holland based CF is Gimenez)

He wanted yeh cf from Holland but money wasn’t there this month !

Werner was won a list with 6 others he approved and it was about getting one in asap with son gone !

the others where all of similar level one from dortmund and another from another German club but more of a striker.

Werner, Dragusin and a buy and loan back for the future would be a brilliant window. Think an upgrade on Hojbjerg is pretty unlikely from the ITK

They'd have to be quality to be an upgrade on Hojbjerg, an alternative to fit the system maybe but that's not necessarily the same thing.

Who is the Dutch lad that WLB referred to?

 

[Hotspur88]

Who is the Dutch lad?

Santiago Giménez.

If PEH happens it'll be late and dependant on a replacement. Talks are ongoing between clubs and whilst everyone would like it to happen it's dependant on a few things falling into place.

Santiago Giménez.

Lovely Dutch name there (full on Al Murray voice).

 

[Locotoro]

Is there any news on departures, other than Dier and PEH? Seen some information on Rodon, Spence and Reguilon but nothing from our in house sources on these players

Would be very happy with a Phillips for PEH swap but think Phillips is unlikely.

No information on any of them. Outside of the two FBs returning. Unclear on if rules forbid them from going to a third club in January! But one can safely assume if there is no ITK, there ain’t nothing goin’ on.

He's Mexican and born in Argentina

Why would you say Phillips is unlikely?

 

[talkshowhost86]

Why would you say Phillips is unlikely?

It's purely based on opinion but I think with the other options for him and the fact City would want a big fee even as an option, it'll be too hard a deal to do in January.

 

[Thenewcat]

Why would you say Phillips is unlikely?

Wages, transfer fees and the fact he may well not start are 3 potential reasons

 

[Led Revolver]

Please, please don’t get this thread locked. Debates over the benefits of one player over another goes in the relevant player threads.

I’d suggest to those above to consider deleting your off topic posts.

This thread is to discuss ITK only!

Santiago Giménez.

Why doesn't he have his own thread?

Why doesn't he have his own thread?

Because we aren’t signing him, we have gone with Werner…
