The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Gullible Man Edition 13th June 2013

[jayesar]

This is the "ITK discussion thread" not "Who should we replace that player with discussion thread", there are player threads for that kind of discussion.

Lesson learnt, but now I don't know what the purpose of this thread is. I imagined it would be to discuss impact on club/players if said ITK turned out to be true.

What is Holtby best position?? Box to Box or attacking midfield?

Last season when both Dembele and Holtby are on, they both tend to drift left and becomes predictable, coupled with a not so good left back, we keep losing the ball and hit a wall....... we need some drive from midfield down the right side and send accurate passes down the right flanks for Lennon and Walker to cross or run at defenders.

Without derailing this thread (perhaps we should move to Holtby thread). I think his best spot is behind the striker in a 4-2-3-1 but he could also play 4-3-3 CM well enough. He loves to do one touch flick ons and through balls to the flanks which is best seen on the counter. I personally think (Bale aside) it was the striking/wing options that caused impotence in attack last time around (and a lack of speed in transition).

I hope AVB stays but if PSG are getting rid of Ancelotti there is a decent replacement there for AVB

PSG aren't "getting rid" of Ancelotti - he's apparently going to Real Madrid.....

The irony in this thread is reaching Biblical proportions.

Parker, Dawson, Friedel, Dempsey. All past their very best, but all with great attitudes and IMO the kind of players that wont bitch if they dont start every game next year. Provided theyre still fit enough to play 30 games per season at full pelt, id rather keep these kind of players for the squad.

Read the earlier posts in this thread, mate. There's pretty clear instruction by multiple MODS, to take Parker 'discussion' to the Parker thread. Maybe you should suggest trying to do a deal that would involve Parker & Remy exchanging clubs, then that would allow you the opportunity to chat about that offensive player. ITK has suggested QPR would be interested in Parker, so you'd actually be sticking to an 'ITK discussion', rather than a 'Parker discussion'

Cheers for the info. I don't understand this thread I guess lol.

Oh, I see the "you're younger than me so your opinion can't possibly be valid even though Karren Brady was your age when she became chairman of a football club" brigade are out in full force.

Bore off.

What the fuck?

'You're dealing with a child', meaning they show little respect and also are young so haven't seen the shit that a lot of us have.

Don't use the term 'bore off'.

You melt.

Some little Goat popped up demanding money, so without question I gave him some! He better put it to good use.

Can we give some of the donation money to some of our ITK guys? Just so they can make some up for us to talk about?

They need to replace Ancelotti because he is wanted by (and wants to go to) Real Madrid.

and yet you go on to derail again.

I also remember earlier in this thread that A&C said as there was ITK about Parker possibly leaving then it was ok to discuss possible solutions etc....

possible solutions? nope. and defo not tactical changes.

"if there's chat about who might replace him or who might sign him even, then I don't see anything wrong with that."

 

[andyp8080]

is it itk? or itk related? no - it's you being willfully obtuse.



voxy - stfu mate. you're encouraging off topic posting. take it elsewhere you land lubbers.

A&C has you very well trained mate!

 

[codspur]

Congrats on your promotion to moderator mate

I'm sorry, I'm sure you are a lovely chap, and no offence, but you do have a habit of reminding me of the kids at school who actually wanted to be a prefect...

the lack of ITK makes the community a pack of moany bastards, can I say bastards without getting a ban???

 

[BillyWhizz]

Is there actually any point in having a daily ITK thread if there hasn't been any yet? They just go off topic everytime, 20/30 pages of nothing. If some ITK is posted today then yes lets create one, otherwise it just seems pointless and takes up the mods time.

 

[dirtyh]

donated quickly before this gets locked again. ffs.

Yep and the fact is, because its such a dry spell the chances of irrelevant discussion increasing - goes up exponentially lol
