The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 16th July

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Don't really keep up to date with Italian football so I hope it's either Zidane, Batistuta or Weah.

Or the divine ponytail.

 

[Spurrific]

Signed for A.C.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Bonucci (somehow?)

 

[Shadydan]

Balotelli

 

[FreddieYid]

Weren't we linked to a right back from Torino

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

I reckon it's Berardi, we've been linked to him for the last year, and reading between the lines we might have even put a bid for him last summer. He basically plays like a left footed Son and is most comfortable on the right but can operate in all attacking positions - definitely the kind of flexibility Poch likes.

Interesting

Seems to have a fair bit of work ethic about him too which is another tick in the Poch approval box.

 

[Derryank]

Does the Italian flag mean an Italian born player or a player currently playing in Italy?
Did he expand at all?

He did not... someone suggested Nice, as in Person. He replied, did you skip geography class. Pretty damn funny.

 

[Duskwen]

Could it be Foyth, using a Italian Passport to complete the move

 

[arunspurs]

It has to be a Juve player... @Breezer indicated we are in talks with Juve player, isnt it ?
And its not Cuadrado as well

 

[handinho]

Can't stand Mandzukic, would hate to have him at Spurs. Ever since we have been linked to a Juve player by ITK I was worried it would be him.

No news about it in Croatia so don't worry.

 

[GeorgeTink]

Signed a new contract recently but rumours for a couple of seasons that Insigne is Poch's dream signing..

In other news, the PlayStation 2 is available from all good outlets on Monday

 

[rawhide]

I reckon it's *random player in Italy* cause I want/don't want them to sign for us...

We've definitely had several reports of interest in Italy, particularly in the North and Juventus was mentioned but was this more in relation to the 'experienced South American'?

 

[lukadownthelane]

Must be an Italian with that comment. I'd go along with Berardi

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Nice is translated in Italian as simpatico........but also as Bello. What player has bello in their name?

Juan Guillermo Cuadrado Bello

Carino, Piacevole, Buono

Berardi?

I reckon it's Berardi, we've been linked to him for the last year, and reading between the lines we might have even put a bid for him last summer. He basically plays like a left footed Son and is most comfortable on the right but can operate in all attacking positions - definitely the kind of flexibility Poch likes.

Would be way crazy if it were to be Berardi. Way crazy.

As you say, would be a signing that "makes sense" and Sassuolo is in northan Italy per ITK. But according to other ITK it's a Juve player and Berardi's co ownership ended in 2015 suggesting it isn't him. Depends how much we trust in the ITK. Oh and Berardi apparently has a €40 mil price tag on him which seems a little to much for our dear leader.

Would be a dream signing but can't see it. Napoli would want mega bucks for him.

 

[EJWTartanSpur]

Yeah it doesn't have to be a Juve player. What we have.......

- we have people in Northern Italy
- we made a bid for a Juve player that Breezer couldn't believe we'd get ( Breezer )
- Italy is nice this time of year ( JJ )

The first two tally up with JJ's comment and would indicate northern Italy/Juve, however, JJ's comment could be completely unconnected to these bits of info, so

Likely from a northern Italian club and could be a Juve player

But possibly

A player from anywhere in Italy

No indication as to nationality

Another player we were linked with a good while back before he moved was Candreva, he is now of course at Inter in Northern Italy. I'd doubt it though because he is now 30
