The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - THE LAST DAY! 1st September 2014

[LexingtonSpurs]

Regarding the regular deadine day facility in place making it easier to make signings, what in the hell does that mean? The funds are all on 1 bank and we dont need to move it frombank to bank in order to make a signing?

think of it like a home equity loan - its available for you to spend if you need it any time, without having to go borrow anywhere at 10:00 at night.

Nobody really keeps that kind of cash lying around.

Would love JR over DW.

 

[Jospur]

I think it was his mentioning that TS wouldn't be in charge next season, prior to TS actually getting sacked that was the problem.

Sherwood was running down Sandro's ability to play. Sandro simply expressed what I'm sure many players felt and what knowledgeable fans knew to be inevitable. He's a fighter. I'll be following QPR games with much more interest this season.

get the stamp ready

 

[RobjDerby]

If those Stambouli pics are true then I cant see us going for MS too, we'd have so many CM's.

Need someone up top.

 

[felmani26]

Rodriquez can wait as far as I'm concerned.

Its MS we should be going balls deep for.

Perhaps but then it's imperative we beef up our attack - particularly in the wide areas so we need to conclude a deal for either Welbeck or J-Rod today IMO.

 

[WalkerboyUK]

This site's going to be an absolute shit-storm in 7 hours time if Levy hasn't adequately splashed the cash...

 

[thejames]

If we've gonna back in for J-Rod, makes me think we've missed out on D-Well.

Who buys a Kane shirt?

Yeah I think its safe to say that Schneiderlin won't happen as well.

 

[Kane99]

lineker also claims stambouli has signed

 

[Jospur]

Even so. With a LWF and Striker possibly coming in it still leaves our squad overstocked.

Levy's scattergun approach to acquiring talent coming back to haunt the Club.

 

[Ossie85]

We still have Stambouli, Paulinho, Dembele, Bentaleb, Capoue for 2 central midfield spots. Unless one of them goes I don't see us trying again for Schneiderlin. Especially as Poch has already apparently said he wants to trim down the squad.

I think Paulinho is no longer for the CM role, but for the AM role

 

[SHaRD]

Can't see Southampton selling both MS and Rodriguez today.

Townsend + Dembele + £10m might do it?

 

[felmani26]

If we've gonna back in for J-Rod, makes me think we've missed out on D-Well.

Doubt that.

Welbeck's future won't be resolved until later when Falcao signs you'd imagine.

 

[easley91]

Jay Rodriguez is an improvement on Lennon/Townsend. Holtby's medical completed, so expect a domino of confirmations soon.

Who buys a Kane shirt?

why??

 

[Mr Pink]

Think Welbeck is independent to whether we get MS or not.

J Rod could be months away before he's back to where he was - if he ever gets back to where he was that is.

Don't forget we're on the brink of selling our most popular player, with the fans, probably because we're not convinced he's ever going to get back to where he was.

I know every case is unique to the individual though.

Who buys a Kane shirt?

Kane's mum?

 

[BPR_U16]

Against the village team from Cyprus Sandro did stand out and was our second best player behind Paulinho. However even in that game he stood out for his tackling and pressing. If you watch his use of the ball you will see it is quite poor and he actually looks uncomfortable in possesion which is not good for the Poch system. I love Sandro and it's sad to see him going to such a poor club (if to be believed) but i can see why we would move him out if the likes of Stambouli are a better fit for the tactics we intend to play.

At least I saw his last game for the club.

As you say, he broke their game down in that destroyer way of his - and how we could have done with some of that on Sunday! Still didn't look as fit as he used to be, but true game time changes that.

On the ball he isn't the greatest, but if you have someone alongside him who can use it, then it's not a problem.

Will be sadly missed - and a real gain for QPR if he has gone there.
