The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 10 August 2011

[kdspur]

with all the shit over luka over summer and lack of signings and just the general negativity around spurs wouldnt it be great to wake up on friday and get a few new wow signings to really lift mood and enthuasium in and around spurs and really give whole club an air of antisapation

i think freshening up things more than fact it has to be a big name is just as important.

 

[Mr Pink]

Spanish media I heard are saying it, and they and french media also reported diarra was close to psg and attended a game last week v lorient i think (either before or durin talks)

surprised then the British media havn't been reporting it....apart from talkshite :wink:

Let's face facts diarra will not be signing for us if he has sense he will go to psg as they are an ambitious club with a chairman who can get a deal over the line quickly, our chairman runs us like a corner shop.
Our itks have got nothing right so far so why change now, we need new investment and then we can get back amongst it until then we will be lucky to finish top 6.
It's our way to let deals slip away and diarra is a perfect example of bungling incompetence so let's move on and forget anything about him coming or any quality coming with 3 weeks left we will end up with 2 nd class players.

 

[Hot-Spur]

Except it would take us 2 years to get an adequate replacement in...

Good point, we aren't the quickest movers really are we :razz:

£31.5 Mill is a bargain

Not arsed in the slightest about Diarra. Sign a striker Levy.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

this is turning out to be one of the most depressing transfer window in years!, both incoming and outgoing!, I just hope we can offload some of our fringe players ASAP!

 

[bubble07]

Daily fail say 15m bid rejected for lass

 

[Spurs1960]

Joey Barton talking to Arsenal. 7/1 him joining. Scum talking to scum, how appropriate.

so for first few months of season u are quite happy with thudd or jenas to play with modric against all our main rivals in first 7 games. our central midfield options need strengthening up big time

Stop exaggerating, still had a long way to go before it beats the selling of berb in the last few hours and getting Frazer Campbell :wink:

£31.5 Mill is a bargain

Not when Adebayor is available for £15m. Guess the trade off is that Llorente's wages are affordable.

Also, as has been said many times before, buy-out clauses don't apply outside of Iberia.

 

[Mr Pink]

What people have to remember is that there are vulchers circling hoping to pick up a bargain in the knowledge that they know we need to sell to free up space to bring players in. Of course they need to address their own needs but they know they have plenty of time to be speculative hoping for a knock down fee the more time edges on.

We have a bloated squad and buyers know this full well and Levy wont be held to randsom.

The problem as far as I can see it is that we dont have the power in these circumstances given that we need to be bringing in what we need but cant really until we know we have reasonable deals in place for those going out.

Throw in the external forces regarding the market and planning for new regulations and all of a sudden we have an incredibily difficult balancing act to coordinate.

That said Levy is probably relishing the challenge of it all.

ok, as much as it seems "our chairman is running us like a corner shop" do you have any FACTS to back this up? what exactly is happening behind the scenes?

lucky to finish top 6? like the last couple of years yeah?

define 2nd class players? as i can only assume 1st class would have to be messi, ronaldo etc. are these the players we should be signing then?
