The Daily ITK Discussion Thread DEADLINE DAY!

[Streetspur77]

Fork and done I reckon. Even for me I don't see us getting fuck all done now.

I think by 3 I’ll join you and revoke my BSoDL membership but I haven’t held the faith all summer to give up now

 

[samspurs92]

You know what, I am disappointed, but I also think that if we’ve looked at the market, looked at the squad, and thought ‘fuck this, we are not going to pander to the whims of whores’ then that’s fair enough.

Politely disagree.

We’re standing still which is a big risk and a bigger kick in the teeth because of being the most expensive club to go and watch in the whole of Europe.

U think Dele & Eriksen will be after new contracts given the shocking lack of ambition shown.. Hopeful

All will be announced Friday to calm everybody down imo

 

[SdB]

well at least we are not signing some future deadwood

Only because we can't shift the last lot

 

[Scot-Spur]

*await the positive ITK around 13:00, followed by a negative at around 14:30.

*Around 16:00 news will come through about potential for Martial.

* window close and we haven’t signed anyone.. but at least we tried.

Earlier in the week I mentioned that maybe it wasnt DL who didnt want to spend, I was also told that MP wants to promote/use more of the youth….

Of course he does...he has no choice now

 

[RuskyM]

So I’m thinking that super secret mystery signing that was nailed on but kept under wraps all window...never really existed.

He's waiting to be announced like all of the others. Probably should check they're okay, they've been under wraps for some years.

Because the options being presented are more cut price rubbish?

Fair play, I'm not going overboard, but this has properly taken the wind out of my sails. I know, it's just football. Fuck a doodle doo!

 

[Stoof]

REALLY NOT THE PLACE TO DISCUSS THE MERITS OR STRENGTHS OF OUR SQUAD LADS.

(Warning 1)

 

[YiddoInPoland]

Zero signings is not the end of the world, but the problem is if its about the state of the Market then this could be a big issue for us, becuase like it or not (i don't) this is the state of the market now and we will have to adapt to it.

Wait to see whats what at 5pm.

 

[WalkerboyUK]

City have an even stronger squad and have still added. Breezers ITK represents a complete lack of ambition.

EVERY team has added players except for us. We didn't have the squad depth/quality to challenge last season. We haven't improved that through the summer. How can we believe, honestly, that we can challenge this year??
We are in danger of replicating that other team which celebrated top four finishes...

 

[wrd]

Yeah I imagine poch said "Guess I'll fucking have to" and Levy took that as "see he's up for it lads, chuck us a wheel"

 

[JamieSpursCommunityUser]

I really don't think it's levy, if anything i think our scouts should be doing better.

Levy has had 18 years in which to build an organisation that can effectively scout and sign football players, and the 11th highest revenues in world football to make it happen.

The buck stops with him.

Of course they will if the money is right.
Contracts mean nothing nothing these days in terms of players being sold. They give the player a pay rise and the club a longer contract length that should translate into protection of the transfer value.

 

[hellava_tough]

Fuck it, I’ve ignored my missus for the past 5 days while I’ve been obsessing with you lot on this site. I’m going down to the beach where she’s trotted without me. I’ll check in occasionally for a laugh at the lunatics while sipping my bear with my feet in the sand and the sun on my back. It’s been real!

Conscious mind: everything's fine

Unconscious mind: growing sense of impending doom

And so it begins. The lines are already starting to get trotted out...

Love this! Looking forward to seeing who gets promoted and how they get on!

 

[Spunkmonkey]

Now Levy has his stadium, this window has proved it’s imperative that the club now has a Director of Football / Sporting Director.

Levy still lives off the reputation of the Van Der Vaart signing, which fell into his lap, it was not part of any expert negotiation.

 

[Streetspur77]

Fair play, I'm not going overboard, but this has properly taken the wind out of my sails. I know, it's just football. Fuck a doodle doo!

Yeah especially from Breezer but I still just can’t see Levy signing absolutely no one, maybe I’m just deluded.

If we don’t sign anyone though it will take A LOT of explaining tbh, I’m not in the “our squad is good enough” camp, you have to keep improving.
