The Deadline Day ITK Discussion Thread - 1st September

[wrd]

Goalies are a different breed. Friedel etc.

Not many keepers go that far. Friedel is the exception not the rule.

 

[THOWIG]

That’s on them? What are you on about? They literally can’t be registered because we have too many players. They haven’t made any match day squad so far. It’s horrendous management that they’re still at the club.

It’s not. There’s no point debating it. They have no obligation to leave or to up route their families to a country they don’t want to go too. Some will
still probably leave or have contracts terminated etc…

 

[DiVaio]

What are the odds on Romero NOT getting a red card or accumulating yellows for a ban?

Considering he missed only one game as a result of a red card or accumulating yellows in his Spurs career and didn't get any yellow this season yet, I would say pretty high.

 

[Cornpattbuck]

I don't disagree on the Udogie factor. But honestly Ben would be fine in a high line.

Behave. Can't tell if you're on the wind up now?!

 

[Stoof]

It’s even shitter when you don’t even make an attempt to replace the best goal scorer in your clubs history. Unforgivable really.

Manager has said that’s not what he wanted though. So do you do what the fans want or what the manager wants? Tbh I’m even surprised we sanctioned the Johnson deal. It’s a massive premium and one we don’t usually pay.

CB is a worry.

 

[ToDarrenIsToDo]

No CB is unbelievable

Tapsoba should be a Spurs player, Eze should become one also.

Maddison, Johnson, Tapsoba and Eze are the kind of signings a big team makes when losing a player like Harry....we pulled off half of what was needed

 

[Joely]

Sanchez and Højbjerg will be in the squad, the other three won't be registered.

Appears there is space to name one of Dier, Lloris and Ndombele. Think Lloris goes one way or another even if it means paying his contract up and think Ndombele ends up on loan in Turkey or outside chance Saudi so imagine Dier gets named even though he is a horrible fit in this system and will be 4th choice (who knows, Ange may even decide to opt for Davies ahead of him)

 

[ReadieSpur]

Decent window. Remember this is a rebuild under Ange, it won't all be done in his first window.

I personally think we'll be looking for a striker in Jan, but I guess it's right that we give Richarlison a propper chance.

It would have been amazing to replace Sanchez, but life isn't perfect.

Now let's go.. One game a week, no distractions. COYS.

 

[GarlicBread]

Remember a few weeks back when everyone was complaining we’d probably only get VdV and Tosin?

 

[Stoof]

We failed to sell any of our fringe players, but Utd are looking as though they've shifted Greenwood.

On loan, whilst paying most of his wages.

 

[THOWIG]

Can't actually register them all though

I understand that, but lots can still happen and the major factor is it shows how poor our recruitment has been for years that no one wants our players. That needs to change and think since Paratici coming in it has changed. Long may it continue.

 

[Joshua]

It’s not. There’s no point debating it. They have no obligation to leave or to up route their families to a country they don’t want to go too. Some will

Hot air. No other club has this problem. We’ve sold two players on permanent deals one of them being our greatest ever goal scorer. That is terrible however you want to spin it or whatever excuses you want to make.

 

[freeeki]

Lloris, Dier, Sanchez, Hojbjerg, Ndombele are hardly bad players to have around.
We were never going to solve everything this one window. We have no Europe and we’ve managed to bring in some decent players.

At least three of those you listed know they’re not in the manager’s plans, but chose to stay here and rot on nice wages, than take opportunities to extend their careers elsewhere.

I can’t think of worse types of characters to have around a young, hungry, developing squad.

Why you’d want them anywhere near our first team is beyond me.

 

[mackelman]

That’s on them.

Also to add everyone we’ve signed is young and have good character and are hungry. I get the frustration, but we have a great manager in charge. We need to be patient.

And that patience will be rewarded with what exactly? There is enough evidence over two decades to confidently say nada, zilch. That's the unfortunate reality until this lot are gone.

CB is a worry.

I didn’t mean we had to sign a world class striker.

but a couple of attackers that were better than what we had would have been good. Not a free transfer because it was a good deal.

maybe a back up striker could have worked too.

or cover for our attacking midfielder. Our CB. Or the one fit midfielder we have that can beat a press.

Which is fine if you get the manager what he does want, and he desperately wanted another CB.

 

[Cornpattbuck]

He's been told he's not going to play. So unless things have changed I doubt he will be registered. Dav and Davies will be the back ups.

Fuck. Me. I shouldn't be surprised anymore. No wonder Ange is pissed off.

 

[Stoof]

Where is my CB Trix eh? Where is he? Do you have him?

 

[Trix]

Where is my CB Trix eh? Where is he? Do you have him?

I wish I did mate.

 

[Cult of Ange High Priest]

This is the last window, and I mean the last window I get sucked in (regardless of what I'm told) until we get new owners! Levy can fuck off!

See you in January!
