The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 14th May 2016

[PhezTHFC]

Schneiderlin is out of favour at united and also unhappy about playing time. LVG not his biggest fan either. Would love him over anyone as a dm

 

[pallettWHL]

Zabaleta? Past his prime but has got experience and a winning attitude

I personally would be chuffed with Zabaleta. But I won't discuss any further until there's an ITK link out of fear of getting in trouble

I'd rather not have any player Poch has worked with tbh

What is ftl?

Hertyid's recent info is the same as mine about Wembley and that Poch went ape shit yesterday. Been told expect most of our business done before the Euros start and Incomings not reliant on sales. I was told last Sunday to expect 3 "first teamers" but this morning was told it could be as many as 5.
Poch was really hurt yesterday and shocked players he thought he could rely on didn't turn up he may now go for a couple of players that he has worked with before. Calum Wilson was mentioned last summer and may be on the cards again. Eriksen will have competition next season.
Players will be fearful of preseason after yesterday apparently Poch has got a very unforgiving memory

I swear to god that brought me close to tears.

Great news.

Oh, FFS Rose... That´s a stab in the back on Poch after the trust he put in Danny. Or am I overdramatic?

When your team conspires to lose 5-1 to a championship team you have every right to be dramatic, least We gave all our rivals and neighbours a good laugh again.

Always said this we need atleast 4 or 5 new players. people saying we only need 2 or 3 quality additions are not looking at the bigger picture and the situation of EPL from the next season. So I am really pleased to see that ITK's are now saying we will sign 5 new players in the summer. We need to replace caroll, mason, bentaleb, chadli. We have not replaced townsend yet.
So already there's 5 players who we are going to sell and need 5 new players to replace them. Add fazio and yedlin in the list as well.. Hopefully we can coup atleast 30m by selling those 7 players.

 

[Chris12]

@mark_2017 I think he's worked with average players. The only one I'd take is Schniederlin

 

[Lenny Leonard]

That was my first thought. But where does he fit when dier and dembele are the two in midfield? I doubt he'd come to be backup to them.

Moose is having to sit out 4 games at the start of next season, plenty of time for someone to stake a claim for a 1st XI place. I would guess we'll have to rotate more next season as well

Just nowhere near as good!!

Leics_Spur on ftl: Reason for Danny Rose's omission
From a source very close to some of the Sunderland players, apols if already posted:
Rose traveled to Sunderland on Wednesday with the club's permission to watch their match against Everton. He was a guest of Defoe and Kaboul, and was due to stay the night at Defoe's gaff before flying back to London early on Thursday morning.
After the game he went to Sunderland players' celebration at Fabio Borini's house. Got pissed with them and missed his flight to London, and so was either late or missed training. Apparently that is why he was left out yesterday.

Utterly speechless.

 

[thinktank]

Idiot. How to undo all the good work he has done this season both in the yes of the fans but more dramatically Poch.

He will feel betrayed and I understand even more why he was so angry now.

For all poch has done with/for rose - developing his game, loving him up and bigging him up, rebuilding his confidence and improving his game to get him into the England squad - this is how he repays him. This is the level of respect he shows him.

Just...wow.

Yep. And the CL isn't the same for bleeding in youth as the Europa League. With the high intensity game we play we need to rotate without dropping in quality. We havent been good when a couple of players are missing as our back up isnt good enough

 

[HoltbiusMac]

Thats so disappointing from Rose if true. Going to have to work his bollocks off to demonstrate to Poch that he's worth keeping now surely. With City being linked with him I wonder if a decent offer comes in if we might see him move on. Would be a shame because he's improved in the exact ways needed for Poch's system but no time for that behaviour at all.

 

[HildoSpur]

If that is true about Rose then his days may be numbered here - what a total idiot and he really has shown a lack of respect to Poch and the club. So disappointed in him.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

The fact that Rose was on the bench (when he could've picked Trippier) leads me to believe that Poch has no intention of wielding the axe like he did with Townsend.

 

[whitelanefever]

If Rose got p*ssed & missed training.. why was he on the bench against Newcastle.. was Trippier injured?.. if not he should of been on bench instead of Rose... The other thing I'll say is as soon as any pressure came on in run-in Walker & Rose returned to stupidville.. it's so easy for teams to crowd the central areas & let our full-backs have the ball.. there crossing is so erratic & there's no consistency in there delivery.. we are lucky if 1 in 5 crosses are close to one of our own players.
