The Weekend ITK Discussion Thread - 15th/16th August 2015

While berahino being the target is pretty clear, cm has largely been cool with bender off for quite a while, Illaramendi not being spoken about and kramer possibility dead before it started? Any specific ITKs on the midfield front?

 

[Gedson100]

All N'Jie video stuff was blatantly done yesterday at the earliest, no way it's this morning then edited and put together in an hour, so anybody who was tweeting or panicking last night clearly doesn't know a thing. Should help prune a few of the half baked twitter sources from that.

Tenner donated. I'm not ashamed to say I had a whinge at Levy last night and probably not for the last time this window. We're all Spurs fans in here, we all want to see our club be great again.

Anyway the meltdown was fun, let's do it again sometime!

Good points!
I think the general consensus is that the lack of news on the Bender front is actually good for us, as it means we're still working on it whilst also keeping it very quiet.
Kramer unfortunately doesn't look like it's going to happen (or was ever going to happen).
Illaramendi is an outside shot at this point - and i'm not convinced he's the player we need right now either.

 

[goughmeister]

But will we have anyone with true leadership qualities?

Yes

 

[slartibartfast]

It would micturate all over last year's window

Thats what I thought.

Then I thought 'what does micturate mean?'


No seriously, I don't know lol.

 

[gibbospurs]

If we do get Beharino and Illarimendi then we have quite some squad - including the youngsters - to take on all competitions this season. EL could be interesting with fringe players looking to stake claims.

Why do you think irrarimendi is a target? Nailed on for Liverpool by all accounts. Would be a great signing if he is the one we are trying for under the radar.

Alex Song hasn't gone anywhere yet? Possible we'll fill that gap with a loan.

Great news on N'Jie. Hopefully an upgrade on Lamela, Townsend and Lennon.
Berahino next would be great. Pacey wide men may bring out the best in Eriksen who's vision and passing is a weapon we need to utilise more.

Better late than never but we finally have the IN and OUT we were promised so £10 donation made!

On another note I am concerned that we won't be signing a CM. We can't have another season without a quality CM who can take control of the the big games. We've been lucky to have Bentaleb and Mason plus Winks come through, but we need a real strong CM with experience.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

The Goat hears that N'jie completed an important formality yesterday and this must now be very close to being tied up.

Superb signing. Definitely an upgrade and will add pace and creativity to the team which at the moment is badly missing.

It means piss- just thought I'd add a bit of class to the forum

Don't worry. Urine good company.

However, wee'd better stop before A&C wizzes in and slashes your access.

Sorry. To bring us back on topic, I wonder if there have been any fresh leaks from ITK.

 

[SonicSarr]

CM being Illaremendi and competition being Liverpuddle would make a lot of sense if you take grey fox latest and the bits hoopspur stuck in the berahino thread. Berahino and a good cm would be a cracking window. Still need to shift lennon and ade though and possibly Fazio and Townsend. Looking good with over 2 weeks of window left

 

[RuskyM]

hang on, maybe a central midfielder?

maybe?

 

[Singh_Yid]

How about Lyall Thomas' (tweet) and immediate removal.....what was that all about?

What did he say?

At this stage of the game who? Dont you think they had tried with others who chose to go somewhere else? While it would be good, I for one wouldn't lose any sleep if we didn't sign anyone else as I have faith that who we have can be developed. This player with experience jargon is unproven and just reaching

 

[amathews3416]

Berahino starting today for West Brom.

 

[Derryank]

What did he say?

Aulaus saying deal is not complete... Blah blah blah....he did however delete it within minutes. Tip top journalism!

I rather our ITK's...what a blessing to have found this site and read insight from those who are grateful enough to share their information.

Reaching for what? There's lots of names been thrown out there. Season after season we've not signed a CM who has been any good. Rather we've taken punts on second choice options.

Maybe you're not concerned, doesn't mean your right so I don't know why you've decided to write such a dismissive, arrogant response.
