The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - Hello

The key really is in the timing. We sort our business early and before pre-season, then next season can start on a positive foot. If we delay, delay, and delay as usual, then expect fan patience with Ange (right or wrong) to be short.

Laporte would be a perfect signing, but we need multiple CBS. Anyone else worried Dier will hoodwink another manager into thinking he’s a starting level CB? He’s done it to the last 3 managers despite a wealth of evidence to the contrary

Trix said:

Keeper and CB are the main priorities. It then depends on who we move out and AP's assessment of the squad.

Raya is definitely one we are trying for. The CB though is under discussion as they'll now need to fit what AP requires which may mean adding to, and/or crossing off some of those we had already identified as possible targets.

Less worried as he's awful under pressure and slow and this system will expose both.

I think the Penny has finally dropped with most at the club Re Dier. The fact Mason benched him speaks volumes. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him shipped out this summer for a very low fee just to get rid.

Presumably Mason took him out of the team because he had surgery to correct an injury that’s been plaguing him all season.

That all sounded like damage control to me, to protect his value somewhat when we (hopefully) sell him. There was no reason for him to have been playing if he was injured at any point of the season

Dragon with an info dump on COYS.…

The main things I am hearing is he wants fast ,high energy mobile players and they have bought him in to find value / unearthed potential in the market place rather than buy established 40-50 million players

I still think Raya will happen but I think a lot of our other signings will be off the radar and south of 15 million

I found Daniels comments re our academy interesting yesterday as with the exception of Devine none of our other top kids are likely to be ready for a couple of years

the cream of our academy are in the under 17 and 16 teams

Regarding some of the speculation on wages on here

Lori’s is on 100k a week , Tanguy 200k , Peresic is on 60 a week

the only player who is on mega bucks is harry

regarding maddison , last summer when Daniel was trying to convince conte to take eriksen who wanted to return we then looked at maddison who was available for 50 and passed , for it to happen leicster would have to come off on price

No way are we only buying players south of 15 million.

I can certainly see a mixture though which would be interesting. Hopefully we target players like Scott and other youngsters

A return to buying young hungry players would be a good thing. But I think dragon is showing his age slightly when he assumes we could buy anyone for south of £15 million. That doesn’t get you anything these days.
