    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 21st August 2015

    I guess that technically the fee will be unknown. It'll be used as a variable 'x' in the equation of £x = Fazio, therefore £y + £x = Berahino fee. They'll probably state the Berahino fee as significant but undisclosed, and we'll never know how much £x (faz) was so as to keep the illusion up...

    Poor old Faz - from Europa League winner to West Brom in just over 12 months space. The Levy sceptics surely must have been silence by his willingness to clear the decks at bargain prices. I'm sure that this must be the start of the closure of the SB deal. I don't see why we'd allow a player...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 20th August 2015

    For whatever reason I don't know, but my trail of thought in the "Plan B" (for want of a better phrase) striker has led me to a question I've never actually thought about before. Not sure if this is the kind of thing @Trix or @JJetset would know the answer to... Is there an actual transfer...

    Summer 2015 Non-Spurs Transfers

    I saw that as apparently a 'cheaper' option to Pedro. Hmmm....

    Summer 2015 Non-Spurs Transfers

    Great teams win honours with style and integrity - Chelsea have bought and cheated their way to a few trophies, but have next to no discernible history prior to Abramovich. Trying to insult someone to make your point speaks volumes.

    Summer 2015 Non-Spurs Transfers

    If you think you can, I'd self-evaluate the last half a dozen posts you've made. Like one of those people who go around telling people "You can't handle being wrong" in a desperate fever, so as to avoid being wrong about them. In an attempt to steer this weird little crusade back on topic...

    I've said it before, but I think Saha did a good job for us. He gets scapegoated imo because of what happened at that time of the season. So if Saha was still playing (and obviously the age he was then), I think he'd be a great backup option to Kane. Or at least a backup option for a backup...

    Summer 2015 Non-Spurs Transfers

    Because you're arguing about things which are completely unrelated to the point - spurs aren't a "lesser team" than Chelsea (or if you think so, you're probably 10 years old) and you are either a WUM or struggling to understand a basic concept - that of team tactics being more effective than the...

    Summer 2015 Non-Spurs Transfers

    They drop point versus teams with far smaller transfer budgets. When you look at the list of games they didn't win, it's not littered with CL sides - it's mostly mid table and relegation fodder. This is because the lesser teams tend to defend deep and counter attack against them. Hence, the...

    Summer 2015 Non-Spurs Transfers

    Last season Chelsea lost 3 PL games - these were vs Spurs, Newcastle and West Brom The season before, they lost 6 - Everton, Stoke, Newcastle, Villa, Palace and Sunderland Chelsea were losing games against teams who didn't spend big money. Look at the teams in the 6 they lose season before...

    But only if they can land it. Boxing clever is as much about defence as it is about attack. Chelsea are frequently undone by lesser teams who shut up shop, wait for them to get frustrated and counter attack or jump on a weakness.

    The window closed at 6pm, but VDV wasn't confirmed until noon the next day - the coverage stretched until late in the night partially due to the enormity of the VDV transfer itself, and whether we'd done it in time. 1755: You've got to love Tottenham on days like this, you just have to. They...
