The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 12th July 2022

[Tucker]

This is what, like the 3rd, 4th breakthrough?

It’s this year’s “7-10 days.”

 

[Clockspur]

nah, it's the 4th medical...

More medicals than quincy

 

[dagraham]

Ah, the old “48 hrs”…. how we’ve missed you.

 

[muel]

So after Spence. For the first time this window there is no clear identified target

 

[Dakes]

On the verge sounds a lot like close

 

[kd2000]

So after Spence. For the first time this window there is no clear identified target

that you are aware of

 

[AJW]

Both Ali G and Paul O’Keefe suggest it’s an AM we want next. Shame we haven’t got a thread to discuss potential options in! Please direct me if I’ve missed one

 

[muel]

that you are aware of

well yeah

There are player threads for both Christian Eriksen and Lucas Paqueta. One of those would be the place to go for AM talk probably.

Think Maddison and Paquetta are the only two linked and at least with some ITK confirmation thus far and they both have player threads. I assume others may appear as and when the press or ITKs identify others in the mix

 

[djhotspur]

Herc in the maddison thread!

Except there is.

 

[lukadownthelane]

Except there is.

Exciting!

 

[taidgh]

Herc in the maddison thread!

Oh my!

 

[oohaahedgar]

We needed Spence , crucial position , once he’s in it will have been a fantastic window. Anyone else will be a massive bonus to what most of us could have dreamed of before it started.
Centre Half or an attacking midfielder would be nice. Being greedy I know but I’d rather spend whatever is left on one top player than fill both positions. ( I know money isn’t a guarantee of success but you know what I mean). Lump it all on somone from the top drawer.

I suspect it's selling/offloading time!

 

[LB Hotspurs]

Except there is.

Glad to see what are looking at further options to strengthen the squad for Conte. Exciting times ahead!

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

My daughter is headed off to James Madison University in the fall - so, this deal is pretty much as good as done!


Just needs a Stoof Stamp...

 

[NickHSpurs]

Maddison would be an exciting signing, our depth would be seriously impressive if we got him in!

Great positive ITK today on Spence and Maddison and it’s again so clear we have a very strong but fluid plan which is so refreshing.

Tbh I don’t think wanting or hoping for more signings after/if we finalise Spence is ‘greedy’ at all, the 6 we have made were completely needed if we wanted to have a squad to start to compete on 4 fronts which Conte will want to do asap however I’m not suprised in the slightest to see that we are still targeting at least a CB and AM on top of these 6 because again, Conte and FP don’t mess around!!

Conte wants squads to give him a chance in every competition he is in immediately and with the 5 sub rule as well the absolute minimum we need is top quality 2 in each position.

So far after Spence we will still have a gap in terms of a top 6th CB option and a top 6th attacking option and I don’t think Conte will rest or be happy until we have at least those 2 in place so 8 total.

THEN anything else can be a ‘bonus’ right now 5/6 is good but it’s actually still not where Conte will want the squad to be, the gap to City and Lpool in terms of our quality and depth was huge make no mistake about that, but luckily Conte & FP know a thing or two about building a title and trophy winning squad. Together they bought 10 players in Contes first summer at Juve, what happened? They went from 7th to 1st and then won about 10 titles in a row, not saying we will do that haha but just saying they have pedigree in building trophy capable winning squads.

Keep the good news ? rolling , enjoy the ride ? and thanks again to the great ITK updates today and throughout this brilliant very unspurslike transfer window ? ⚽️
