The Weekend ITK Discussion Thread 1st September 2013

[sebcole]

It would be nice to have a striker with some height as well as poaching ability.

 

[Barry Mead]

FWIW Iker Muniain's buy out is 37.5 mill euros so it ain;t him

 

[HoltbiusMac]

El Shaarawy was on the bench tonight by the way with no apparent injury.

 

[WiganSpur]

A left back and a young striker please.

 

[morriss]

You can't screw up on a player if he doesn't want to join.

Perspective

 

[Parklane Block 34]

Two full backs and a striker please!

 

[punky]

The Goat's new cryptic is Hulk I reckon.

Didn't Hulk Hogan have a slogan like that?

 

[L-man]

One day we're title contenders, the next we're struggling for 4th. You lot

 

[Misfit]

Unfortunately if Ozil signs for Arsenal then 4th is suddenly looking like a pretty massive ask, though possible.

A big signing tomorrow could away things again, but I'm not optimistic on that front.

We had 4 draws to start last season and finished 6 pts off 2nd and 1 pt off 4th.

I get those people who are worried about assnal but please stop thinking we're in trouble 3 games into the season. We'll only get stronger.

Anyways, not the thread for it. We've got a £45m player we won't sign to think about!

 

[Maske2g]

Sales = 105 mil
Buys = 107 mil


Big time investment.....

I dislike it too.... truth hurts..

 

[Escher]

oh fucking hell, ITK's been great this summer but perhaps crossed wires with Spurs/Arse bids for RM players, Madrid taking revenge on Levy by not dislosing Arse bids until last moment - Wenger smiling like a prick when asked about transfers this evening

 

[klacey]

SO you are all saying 1 player to Arsenal and its game over for us for 4th. Please. They are very thin, a few injuries and they will be in trouble, its a long season. We will get better and better as it goes on. Calm down already.

 

[thinktank]

LB, RB, CF, CB please. Cheers Danny

 

[sebcole]

I will definitely be here tomorrow with all you long suffering souls. On this exact reincarnated thread.
Hit *friendly* if you'll be here to on Deadline day with me.

 

[wiggo24]

Where has all this Benzema stuff come from? Can't see a post saying anything about Benzema...???

 

[macrmm]

I for one am just going to be happy when tomorrow is over and the constant roller-coaster of emotions is gone.

Levy has done probably as well as he realistically could do with selling Bale and bringing in replacements, but at the same time have lost a world-class player and haven't replaced him with a world-class player (although hopefully in a year or two the new arrivals will give us more than one world-class player). If Spurs sell anyone tomorrow with no more buys, they will actually be looking at an overall profit on the window instead of a net spend and if Arsenal signs Ozil (world-class) and anyone else of his ilk, then they are still above Spurs and the window will end depressingly. Like I said, I will be happy when tomorrow is over one way or the other.

 

[AZ1974]

I think that's our incoming done tomorrow will be a quiet day.

 

[Misfit]

El Shaarawy was on the bench tonight by the way with no apparent injury.

Hell of a signing. Versatile, young, talented as hell. Ticks all the boxes. £45m is a lot of potatoes for him though. Like, rully a lot.

 

[easley91]

The Goat's new cryptic is Hulk I reckon.

Didn't Hulk Hogan have a slogan like that?

What cryptic is that?

Hogan's slogan was 'What you gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild on youuuuuuuuuu!' Nothing to do with 'are you sure you can handle it?'.

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

I can't see how it's Suarez, because people were convinced it was him from Jaws, so what's the point in giving a cryptic for a player that was already guessed

 

[RuskyM]

We didn't sign Soldado for £26m to make him compete with Benzema, let alone it's impossible he'd come here. Good lord.

If Ozil goes to Arsenal I hope we sever the Madrid partnership next morning. Clearly means fuck all.

 

[nssmuckers]

There are 35 fucking games left and in here the apocalypse is nigh? Did we already turn on Soldado after 3 games as well?

 

[elDiablo]

I reckon its hulk too, which would be mental.

Why is everyone shitting about Ozil? Its not what the scum need imo. The have always been creative, so they can have another creative players as far as im concerned. Plus, doesn't he lack stamina? Wondered how he would have played in today's end to end game.

 

[ravo]

I feckin hope not!

Could it be two players from one team? Like Benzema plus Ozil?

Liking part of my guess from earlier !!!

Agree - its like a Bipolar board on here.

Arse are exactly our level. They have not won anything for 8 years ffs
