    Match Threads Spurs vs Palace

    Even if Palace do low block us, they wont have the unique option of rapid pace on the counter in the same way that Wolves did. I had concerns about that Wolves game because they are uniquely setup for that low block, counter style, particularly when a team pushes up so high like we do. Palace...

    He wont feature vs Brighton, I doubt. Maybe on the bench but I'd be amazed to see him start. Particularly given Werner's good play

    Conor Gallagher

    Hhmm, I dunno. I like Skipp but I just think he's always going to be a bit of a limited player. He came off at HT last night and certainly doesn't offer anywhere near the level of play that Sarr does, who is younger than him. We have missed Sarr and I feel that Skipp isn't quite the right fit...

    Conor Gallagher

    My expectation is that if a club offers to buy (or loan with obligation) for PEH before deadline, and he accepts to go, then we would see that as the green light to go for Gallagher before the end of the window. At this point though, I doubt that happens.

    Conor Gallagher

    That's fair and I tend to agree, but I'm honestly just such a fan of his that all sense and reason is going out the window. Every time I watch him he has hugely impressed me. I realise I'm being a bit of a fan boy right now but I just see so much in him. He carries the ball superbly well...

    Conor Gallagher

    I was coming here in the hope that this was posted somewhere. I'm such a big fan of Jacob Ramsey. That kid is awesome IMO and I'm baffled as to why he's not getting played. He's been a bit injury prone but man, I would be ecstatic if we signed him. Can someone post what Ornstein said about him?

    Antonio Nusa

    Can't see how this makes any sense. Why sell a prem proven winger to sign a younger, unproven winger? Surely Newcastle are begrudgingly looking at selling Almiron (and Trippier) to balance the books a bit, not to go out and splash it immediately.

    Player Watch: Ivan Perisic

    Can't help but wonder what might have been this season and how Ivan might have impacted some of our results. He was becoming a valuable contributor before he got injured. Just typical really. Didn't utilise him properly for most of his time with us, only to figure it out and then lose him.

    Mid-window review: ins/outs?

    Know very little about him and this felt like a good place for this but please delete if not

    Conor Gallagher

    I feel like everyone has forgotten how good Phillips was at Leeds and for England. He was outplaying Rice IMO and that's not a dig at the latter just cos of who he plays for. I would be happy with either Gallagher or Phillips. Very different players obviously but Kalvin is presumably much...

    Conor Gallagher

    Whether you rate Gallagher or not (I do, FWIW) we have some issues to iron out in our midfield first IMO: 1. Is Bentancur best for us in the 6 or the 8 role? 2. Is Lo Celso reliable enough to keep and would he even sign a contract extension? (has 18 months left IIRC) 3. Is Kulu going to become...

    I honestly can't believe that people are having meltdowns already. I mean, I can, cos it's people and people are largely stupid but still. We are truly are in a world of instant gratification and if things don't happen immediately, there is simply not patience whatsoever. I'm an impatient man...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 27th December 2023

    Jota on loan seems like a no brainer to me. There's no downside to bringing him in loan in the same way we did with Danjuma last season. He didn't feature much and then went back in the summer but he gave us cover, scored a couple times too. Jota could do at least that if not more. If it doesn't...
