August?

Fucking August? So every bastard time there's ITK that might possibly fit people are going back to that? This place is for January's ITK, people do get that right? Or should we go back to the Torres 'done deal' ITK and start slinging his name in here too?

But thank you for letting me know :D

Sorry, November not August. Time is flying by at my advancing age.

Still, it was not January so I won't direct to the post.

All the ITK is suggesting something big is in the pipeline. Let's wait and see.

I hope it's not a sale to Qatar or such.

We have been very frugal for a while. Good solid finances. Hopefully we have saved well, built foundations, got the nee stadium and associated investment and are about to unleash hell under the best manager we have had in decades.

Pulisic. Can someone point me in the direction of the ITKabout him please?
What set people off today was the last bit of Herc's first post regarding something to do with commercial links.

Pulisic has a contract with Nike running through 2022 and obviously the club has made repeated efforts to court the American market under ENIC's leadership (look no further than doubling the cost of building the stadium in order to woo the NFL).

It's not hyperbole to say that Pulisic will be the biggest draw for the American market in the history of the sport, so all of this taken in conjunction with past ITK on him has led people to speculate that he might be a player that Herc is referring to.

The two big players discussed regards move this summer have so far have been Malcom and Lemar. We were keen on Lemar before throughout the summers ITK but don't think we have had any for a long time.

It amazes me how people can instantly recall and reference and then cross reference ITK from months ago, weeks ago and days ago, but when it comes to how this thread rolls they bumble about like a bunch of glue sniffing baboons.

I don't think they can find their arseholes with both hands so nah, as right as your theory sounds, there's no practical evidence to support it ;)

I agree, and there are countless reasons as to why he ticks all our normal and future boxes.

The thing that makes me pause on it though is JJ saying 'big time straight in'. Pulisic is still only a kid, and the Bundesliga is a whole different kettle of fish to the EPL for someone so young. Poch wouldn't throw him straight in and expect an immediate impact. I have my thoughts on who it could possibly be, but as it's not been mentioned I won't speculate.

Unless they are talking about two different players (not seen that confirmed or not).

It was an exciting bit of ITK tbf, particularly for those of us in the US.

Why are we not in the equation? We all know the truth;)

If we want a player, even if he wants us, please understand that it is not them preferencing the club to ours. Had to put that out there. Other irons may be in the fire-possibly?

Don’t buy the media trash that we are second cousins in our preferred target choices.

PS: Hope I did that right

Recent speculation that Malcom prefers Arsenal to us - that could be who's being referred to here I'd imagine.

Would be nice if Uncle Joe loosened the purse strings.

OK on reflection I was probably a bit OTT so I'll reverse the bans in 2022. Or tomorrow, who knows? It all depends on cake.

I must admit that despite having reread the forum rules again today i'm not entirely clear on what is allowed. This thread is for discussion of today's ITK. I get that. But as today's ITK didn't mention any player's names is it permissible to speculate on who those players may be?

That's where it becomes a bit grey and has the potential to piss A&C off. It's not like there is a massively tight link or cryptic to CP so prob best to take that sort of stuff to player thread. Herc's post could be any player?

I know, it's a bastard isn't it?

I don't know what's allowed myself, I just make it up as I go along.
