The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 10th August

[RobjDerby]

I joked this morning that Chelsea would take Orban just so we can’t have him. (And whilst we dither)

missed Opportunity FC

 

[srups34]

Unfortunately its the same old shit.

 

[Boots22]

Same old same old

 

[EastUpperDK82]

I better go to bed now cheers

 

[Mr Pink]

Ah well.

Expect another underwhelming climax to the window.

AC Milan and Chelsea have both expressed significant interest in acquiring Gift Orban. While the terms with the player are agreeable, we're still deliberating on whether to proceed with the deal, given his popularity within the club's hierarchy — a likelihood that's heightened. Additionally, we're actively considering alternatives for the same position, particularly two other players whom we're very enthusiastic about for the forward role; however, it's worth noting that these alternatives might come with higher transfer fees compared to Orban.

Navigating player departures is proving to be a challenge, as there's substantial interest in our players. However, the transfer fees being offered are falling short of the club's expectations, particularly in cases where Daniel Levy is involved, or players themselves are not inclined towards a move.

This part is so frustrating. It's why we're stuck with certain players for years.

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

What happened to Levy taking a step back, literally lasted a few weeks. Fuck me.

Thanks WLB.

The bold bit is no surprise. Levy has always had a high valuation of his own players, which is why we always always struggle to shift them. Furthermore, the reverse is true when it comes to buying.

Ah ground hog day.

His DOF resigned.

Not counting Orban out. Can't see AC Milan salary being comparable. Chelsea probably comes down to what he thinks he'll get for playing time with them vs us (we probably offer a better path).

WLB says "and proceed with the deal given his popularity within the hierarchy of the club a liklihood that's heightened"
I read that positively I'm not sure why others aren't.

The only way you break this cycle is to accept what you can get and bring in the players you need. Those players who don't want to move soon will when they realise they'll be out of the core 22 in a season without European football.

 

[KingNick]

If the alternatives to Orban are better and/or more experienced players (hence the higher price) then I’d be more inclined to look to that anyway. I think we need to mitigate risk as far as possible for our strike force is concerned and we have Veliz as a young’un to come in once he’s settled.

 

[lukadownthelane]

It’s almost as if lesson have not been learned….

He also said in the Orban thread that we need to move players on first.

That sounds unlikely to me.

 

[daveduvet]

Fucking Chelsea!

Need to report them to the monopolies commission

Passing along the latest updates, I believe that at this moment, we have the edge as favourites for gift . For now, there's no immediate cause for concern.

However, it's crucial to acknowledge that Tottenham Hotspur needs to confront the issue of our sizable squad by successfully bringing in new players and efficiently moving players on. This is an area where we've encountered challenges in the past.

But he didn't link that directly with the Orban deal.

I think I’m more annoyed about the outgoings than the incomings.

These players aren’t going to go up in value. They’ll sit there, blocking incomings and taking up wages.

Just take the hit and get rid FFS
