    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 5th August 2013

    All terribly interesting, but in fact presumption b) was incorrect. I have literally no desire to continue "posting or viewing this section" or the website generally in fact, in circumstances where I can be insulted for expressing a logical opinion, only for you to get all princessy when I...

    I think that this Bale story is really going to show who is ITK. Bale cannot be the following at the same time: 1. happy to stay / fuming; 2. not refusing to train / refusing to train; 3. not refusing to play / refusing to play; 4 not ready for move / desperate for move. I think that the...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Weekend Edition 3/4 August 2013

    I think that's the point, isn't it? We are scouting the wrong players - hence the reason we're not picking up the Michu's of this world for £2m. Also, we have signed a "European scout" that seemingly has a fear of flying any fucking where? Ok, a bit tongue in cheek, but as JJ has alluded to...

    Clint Dempsey sold

    I think this is a mistake. He scored some big goals for us last season. Great player off the bench and good for squad depth. We're looking paper-thin.

    Shane Long. Is this some kind of joke? I accept he is a 'decent' striker for WBA, but have you seen his scoring record? We are competing with 5 clubs for a top four finish. Can you imagine any of those 5 clubs signing Shane Long? We need to be signing players that take us forward like...

    100% agree. Then we all know where we stand and it ends all the constant speculation. Bale is then happy that we are not refusing to sell him and the ball is back in RM's court. The longer this goes on the worse it gets for us, particularly as the transfer window ridiculously doesn't close...

    I don't want to bombard you with questions, and hopefully this is not too invasive a question but do you know if the circa £50m we have spent is the Bale money, or just general transfer kitty? It occurs to me that this could either be: (i) a gamble based upon spending money this summer and...

    I disagree. I think selling him will set us a back quite a few years - perhaps not in footballing terms directly in the short term but definitely in terms of revenue and exposure which inevitably ultimately does affect our ability to compete on a football pitch. RM have made no secret that...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Hurt Feelings Edition 31st July 2013

    Ha! Me too - in fact, I was having this very conversation last week with a couple of trainees. They laughed it off. The public perception and the reality couldn't be further from the truth.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Hurt Feelings Edition 31st July 2013

    It would be marvellous if, somehow, we managed to win the league without him next year. Meanwhile, he flopped at RM and they won nothing - effectively meaning that he and Modric have won nothing, whilst we have won the league. Stranger things have happened...and irrespective of Bale, we do...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Hurt Feelings Edition 31st July 2013

    None of this seems right at all. 1. DL is surprisingly quiet unlike the Berbatov, Keane and Modric transfers. 2. RM have tapped up Bale far more that United and Liverpool did with Berbatov and Keane respectively - and yet no action, or threat of action by us. 3. AVB and the players have now...

    Gareth Bale (Rumour to Deal Done)

    I am starting to think that these minimum release clauses are a good idea. It seems to me that they stop players complaining about offers beings rejected. If you look at teams like Porto and Valencia they never say that the player is not for sale. They simple advise the purchasing club of the...

    The Weekend ITK Discussion Thread 27/28 July 2013 PART TWO

    All this Bale nonesense is really taking the shine off some great signings. I just checked Arsenal Mania - something I periodically do when we make a signing to gauge their reaction and to revel generally in their depression. BUT at the moment all they can say is Bale is off, so they don't...

    The Weekend ITK Discussion Thread 27/28 July 2013 PART TWO

    I suppose you could say that he did the same thing and exposed himself to similar risks leaving Southampton at 17. HOWEVER, if he thinks RM would put up with not winning in any of the first 20 odd games he plays for them, he is sorely mistaken.

    Spurs are not a big enough club to sell Bale

    I think it's a great article - perhaps a number of points could be articulated a bit better but on the whole a good read and I agree with the message behind the article. Bale is now considered alongside Messi and Ronaldo. He is a money making and profile raising machine, and worth a lot more...

    I used to think that but he really kicked on last season. I think he's a great player, bags of pace, bit of flair, good in the air and has excellent movement. His finishing could be improved but he's still young. I think he would be great signing, can play wide forward or through the centre -...
