The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 16th July

[Ghost Hardware]

Wonder if Pjaca is available after Juve buying Douglas Costa & Schick

Was out pretty much all of last season with a torn ACL, he is still out. Very unlikely to be him. Although apparently Fiorentina want him as part of the Bernardeschi deal

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

JJ also poo poo'd Pjanic.

Hopefully he drops by now the thread is open.

So everyone remain calm, and don't Pjanic!

 

[Tyler24durden]

Not keen on buying anyone from Italy.

Would prefer to concentrate on the German league; far easier for players to adapt.

 

[phieffect]

Pjanic on the streets of London?

 

[LexingtonSpurs]

Agree, although he hasn't actually said we are signing anyone. Just made some comment about Italy being nice lol

he is probably on holiday...

 

[The Swellhead Spur]

Could be anyone, my gut feeling is its Foyth getting a passport via his father's ancestry

 

[Derryank]

Trying to narrow down the unattainable players... therefore, think like DL. Young, declining contract, and highly resellable if all else goes south. Oh, and must be able to run up and down a football pitch for our Morrie......to be continued. This approach certainly rules more out than in.

The way JJ has eluded I doubt it would be Foyth. Also breezer previous ITK suggests otherwise

Is Berardi any good?! His stats don't make fantastic reading (I know they're not the be all, but it's all I've got to go by...). Can someone enlighten me as I've never seen him play.

 

[DanielCHillier]

He's close to signing for Inter Milan, reportedly.

Transfer, hijack, late swoop etc.

 

[WiganSpur]

Gut feeling its berardi. Been strongly linked for a few years. We know we need pace and he offers that as a striker or out wide - 2 positions we are looking to add to. Young with sell on value too.

Just seems to fit with what we are looking for.

Berardi, Barkley and Peraira = Excellent window

Those three would transform our window but very optimistic to expect that at this stage.

43 goals and 33 assists in 111 serie a games from right wing don't make fantastic reading?

 

[Hot Spur]

JJ didn't say the location is Italy, just the player is Italian. Are there any Italian players playing for Nice? (France)

Possibly. Sassulo will have been softened up, we would know the terms, what offer could be accepted etc.

He is that good, I think. Not the finished product, loads to go yet. But what a player. Besides, about stats, 40 + goals and 30 + assists over around 100 matches in Serie A ... Not too shabby. And he already has years of experience from Serie A.

 

[shelfmonkey]

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.

Berardi? Where's Breezer?!!!

Could be Marcel from Nice.
No problem with Marcel or Foyth, good foundations for the future but we really need to strengthen the first team squad

Where is the Italian link though? Or are you saying Marcel = Nice + Foyth = Italy?

 

[EJWTartanSpur]

Think he was referring to Keita
