The Deadline Day ITK Discussion Thread - 1st September

That back up CB was imperative though. If Dav goes we have Dier and Davies as back ups in a high line.

Dav is my fave back up. Feel his confidence has increased with a positivist approach from Ange

Surely Phillips would have to be picked ahead of them if that were to happen?

 

[LukaMotion]

Looking at this objectively, I would be happy to let Sanchez go on a perm if it get's him off the books. Reasons:

1. I don't rate Sanchez much higher as a CB than Davies.
2. We've got nothing but league games until Jan, so there's shouldn't be much need for rotation except in case of injury.
3. It's about time we got rid of someone.

Hopefully we’ll have a DOF in January so can actually act competently in the transfer market

And Scott Munn taking control of proceedings *fingers crossed

I saw that you don’t think he’s ready yet but I’d rather play Phillips than those 2. Chuck him in at the deep end like we did Dawson. He’ll either sink or swim but he’s 6’4 so if he’s struggling, at least he can smash the fanny out of someone on his way down.

Edited because I don’t even know his name. I still feel like he’s more of a Williams than a Phillips though.

 

[Trix]

He's a kid mate and he isn't ready.

 

[soflapaul]

If Dav goes, Mum ITK better be right

 

[LannerSpurs]

Is that a direct quote from Levy.... or just reported speech?

Clubs new motto

 

[nidge]

So we could be seeing Alfie Dorrington or Ashley Phillips get first team minutes if injuries happen because after Romero and VDV I really don't want to see Dier, Sanchez or Davies playing.

 

[GioW]

Continuing to pay the price for our poor recruitment/indecisiveness in the market over the last few years

 

[For the love of Spurs]

From what I understand we've set a price of PSV hit it he can go.

I'm hoping common sense prevails and Levy calls it off or he pulls a rabbit out of the hat. I'm not holding my breath though.

sorry that would be nuts like total nuts. That would make a at best less than good window into a disaster where we have to hope and pray every game Romero and VDV stay fit.

that would actually make the window a full on f*ck up.

And then he took a peno

 

[only1waddle]

If Sanchez out on a permanent deal, I will take it...even if it puts us in a bad situation if injuries happen.

Easy to say on the internet, you absolutely wouldn't do that in reality.

 

[Chris Flynn]

I don't think there's an unwillingness to spend money, we just have a massive problem of a lot of players we need to shift out.

two things can both be true

He's going to be putting Ange in a spot of bother for defensive options that's for sure and will need to reintegrate Dier back into the fold.

 

[arunspurs]

Yeah fuck the season as long as we make a quid or two.

People do really have short memories. Its almost as if Sanchez is being revered here ?
Every one here wants Sanchez sold -why ? Because he has been part of the calamitous defending

I dont care how many disagree with me on this 'hypothetical question'
If Sanchez is sold and not replaced...I am ok with it.
I would rather try Emerson as CB or give chance to Phillips, Dorrington and hope we replace him in Jan.

 

[nidge]

He's a kid mate and he isn't ready.

True but at this rate, with the system Ange likes to play our other options are completely unsuitable to that style of play. (Worse if Sanchez goes.)

 

[SDogg]

He's a kid mate and he isn't ready.

And his name is Phillips

 

[dj_stu]

He's going to be putting Ange in a spot of bother for defensive options that's for sure and will need to reintegrate Dier back into the fold.

If ever the phrase "round peg, square hole" was apt...

 

[Tucker]

Selling Sanchez without a replacement now would be beyond the pale.
