The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Wheels on the Bus

[Spurs 1961]

We have earmarked 5 key players, not necessarily the biggest names that we want by summer window. Anyone signed now either way would be on that list. They are RB/CB who can play across the back/2 midfielders of which one specialist DM/ Striker, who as well as playing if H rested etc, one who could also play with him, and versatile. Some of JM’s early targets deemed too expensive. But alternatives he is happy with. Aside from the obvious names out there, there is a list of players and their agents; more so we are engaged with the actual agents.

Thanks for the info. Looks like the usual case of not going for top targets but b or c options. Good maybe if we get them but our track record is not good.

So both the JJ and Dov posts refer to transfer activity and rebuilding. I think we need to stop moaning and be patient with things. There clearly is a plan and the fact Mourinho is keen to move on the peripheral players and/or loan the potentials like Foyth to free up space and money is promising.

I also like the information that most of the squad are on trial and need to earn their long term place. Finally, I’m assuming the Mendes connection with Mourinho might make our desirable targets easier to achieve, or at least harder to fuck up

Can’t bare the sight of the ban stick again so if anyone can suggest a thread where we can take our mad speculation, I’ll happily hobble over there

Everyone seems to be saying the same as we are all hearing. Dragon is nailed on!

 

[Japhet]

Lets try to not turn this thread into a 'guess the portuguese player' thread (even though the ITK seems to be begging us to do it .

 

[jondy1]

Ronaldo it is then?

 

[worcestersauce]

Some good ITK, certainly fits in with bringing in Mourinho, why would you do that if you weren't going to get players in.
Dragon is pretty definite so I'm happy to see us starting sooner rather than later and hopefully with Kane out effectively for the rest of the season we'll move our striker targets up the agenda for this window.

 

[tiger666]

I'm quite excited by the links personally. Thanks for the info.

It definitely seems that Mourinho and his super agent friends provide more leaks for 'ITK' than we have had over the last 5 years...

some stuff from dragon1, some itk some opinion probably
I did not know about Fernandez until yest , but it’s def happening (gedson)
we’re in talks with another Portuguese international I can’t say too much but much more experienced than Fernandez and I’m not referring to bf (not silva at milan, not moutinho, not renato sanches)
think Jose is going to totally rebuild us
we are in for eze and he is likely to join
I would say loris , Toby , son , Kane and Alli are immortal and sess and tanganga will be part of the new dawn , everyone else is on trial between now and may
Kwp , Ccv and foyth all will leave on loan or be sold this window as not in squads everyone else needs to perform , it will be one in one out starting with Eriksen out and gelson in this week , this may well take three to four windows , we will take a lot of Mendez players but he will not drive our transfer policy

eriksen out and gelson (martins) in? Or gedson

 

[ardiles]

Keeps me cumming

FYP

No mention of NDombele or GLC as part of the core is kind of alarming.

Gedson, I actually looked up Gelson Fernandes and was horrified until I twigged.

 

[luRRka]

JJ said Mourinho rates ndombele highly and wants to build team around him

 

[vicbob]

No mention of NDombele or GLC is kind of a bummer.

Herc mentioned earlier that NDombele was seen as a core player as well

Good. Must have missed that one overnight. Ta

Semedo !!!!

Page 15 if you wanted to check it out. He said not to post elsewhere so dont want to copy it

 

[carpediem991]

Gedson as a Eriksen replacement seems a bit bold. But well.

Hope Lamela and GLC are soon part of the core.
