    Daniel James

    I think we’ve got so conditioned over the years to rushing around to sign a game-changing first team player on the last day of the window. this is just squad shuffling of fringe players.

    Daniel James

    So, we might be signing Dan James to replace Bryan Gil in the squad? Gil never gets a game, is depreciating on value rapidly and has a loan in place. James only comes on if Son comes off and we dont replace with Perisic, Sess or Richarlison in an advance role. james is lightening quick and...

    Not many sides can name their stadium after him if he signs...

    Never got his place back though

    Harry Kane

    I was devastated when Berbatov, Carrock and Keane left. it felt like the end of everything we’d built, but within a few years we were in the CL and had an amazing training ground. I was heartbroken when Modric and Bale left, (and more when we blew the money) but within a couple of years we...

    Lennon

    Won a place above Routledge too who was highly rated after a great run at Palace. Lennon was fantastic for us

    Player watch: Danny Rose

    If Rose wants to stay, is there any chance we don't take Sessengnon now and wait a year to get him for free?

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread DEADLINE DAY!

    Don't watch the one of him at Barcelona where he's so awful that Messi, Suarez, Busquets & co are visibly despairing every time he gets the ball

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread DEADLINE DAY!

    I'd think loans with options to buy are perfect for us...We have money, but are terrified of the risk of players that don't step up stuck on the wage bill (Sissoko)...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread DEADLINE DAY!

    Language in the announcement is interesting. Villa prepared to offer him a new contract IF HE DECIDES TO STAY. Like it's the players decision

    Liverpool Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    That was Jonathan Pearce, but couldn't agree with you more

    Liverpool Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Can't be as biased as Alan Green on radio 5

    Sherwood has gone!

    That's a problem he's inherited though. Yesterday we played against a side who've dominated possession in every game they've played, including against the scum, and even in the game they lost 4-0 at Liverpool. It's an unrealistic expectation for people to expect us to boss them.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread: LEVY TELLS ALL - 21st January 2014

    That might make sense if the DOF was indoctrinated into the fabric of the club, and was bringing continuity to the long term on-pitch philosophy, but in this situation, it could be argued that TS has a greater understanding of these things than Baldini. The one thing that TS has said that really...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread: LEVY TELLS ALL - 21st January 2014

    That does sound realistic though. The last thing they want is a fire-sale on Sherwood's say so after he's been in charge for 2 months, and then he's off again in the summer.

    Important (apparently) International Weekend

    Theo's face is an absolute picture. Gutted. Absolutely gutted

    Aston Villa Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    That's how to rotate the side. Changes without feeling like we've been greatly weakened and a strong bench. How Fergie used to do it, rather than HR running the first team into the ground in the league and playing genuine reserve teams in the cups. Feels like AVB has moved us on a long way...

    Who is our best player?

    If I was putting the current team into Sensible Soccer, I'd have Lloris, Vertongen and Soldado as the 3 stars, at this exact moment in time.

    How Good can Townsend become?

    Townsend at 22 is significantly better than Townsend at 21, and massively better than at 20. That's the important thing. Until we stop seeing that development, you cannot write him off. IMHO, I think he will prove to be a very good premiership player, but if he doesn't get to start 30 games...

    Spurs under 21, under 18 Leagues and other youth news

    I remember a story about SAF always working his backside off to find clubs or career opportunities for the players utd let go, and that it became a major selling point to parents when young talents were choosing which club to sign youth contracts with. I like the idea of us doing that kind of...
