The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 1 July 2011

[DoublePivot]

so you think that say O'shea, Nani, and the Raefael (sp) brothers are on te same money as Rooney, Vidic and Ferdinand?.....at every club as in daily life at companies you will have those on higher salaries than others.

Besides if we do sign better players then we should in theory be more competitive/successful and have an increase in revenue and afford to pay relatively higher wages to the 'lesser' squad members

Well considering I said quite clearly that's not the case, I can't understand why you are arguing such a stupid point with me. Kind of a straw man argument. I said they wouldn't expect to be paid like Modric and these two mythical superstars.

But if they see the ceiling has been increased, they are going to want a raise. If I'm Dawson and I'm making 30k and Modric is making 70k....okay. If Modric is suddenly on 120 and two new guys are on that as well, I might think I deserve 50k.

That's the domino effect.

And consistent Champions League appearance would allow for all salaries to be raised. But banking on that is stupid business and almost crushed a bigger team than us called Dortmund. 10 years later they have finally gotten back to where they belong and even so, they can't afford to buy players.

Good post again dp.

Yeah. It's not a bad post. But it's going to fall on a lot of deaf ears who only know that if you check a box when setting up your team in FM/CM, you can buy Ronaldo for Port Vale. :grin:

You say the same thing every transfer window and still they don't get it. But back to ITK. Have we signed anyone, are we looking likely and what happened to Minicab (Cebello?).

I would give him 7 days to decide if he wants to join Spurs after that we move on to other targets.

So, would you rather follow that route, and sign Can't Control on the eighth day (sounds Biblicalmg, or wait a month and sign Rossi?

And if you pay above your means, all you get is administration.

THIS

Please stop going on about throwing money at players - it is wholly unrealistic, and just makes you thnk you are right about something you don't control and if you did would probably destroy the club:bang:

Don't mention Can't Control, you'll start Hot-Spur off again.

Light claret and blue touch paper and retire to a safe distance...

 

[ryantegan]

So when do we use the word imminent?

That would be the key to this itk

 

[ryantegan]

For those who might be interested. It ended up being the harvester

 

[faze_coys]

imminent = deal is being done as we speak, should be announced tomorrow?

So we are assuming i's and t's have been dotted and crossed for an imminent signing.
