The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 16th May

[nicdic]

Can we not do stadium stuff in here please. Can we direct that to the Stadium thread.

Since i am sitting here in Auckland with all this ITK ready to post, I was just wondering why it matters where it goes except the RO just means you dont have to read all the posts. I am sure this a dumb question

Not dumb. The RO makes it easier to find ITK which means it’s easier for journalists and others (twitter trolls/those who claim the ITK as their own) to find and publicise. Some ITK is particularly sensitive and some ITK providers don’t want the “publicity” in case their sources are outed/discovered.

It’s also time consuming to trawl these daily threads, if you’ve a deadline to meet.

BEN also thinks rose if he goes to the wc and proves his fitness is still off to manu, otherwise he stays

Well, we'll find out this afternoon if he's going! The problem will be deciding what to do if he doesn't go, in respect of replacing him or taking a chance on not replacing him!

 

[Roynie]

We are very in! Aggressively! BEN is correct in all. Germany looking very promising, along with our 1st choices, in the departments we have earmarked. If Germany does not happen at least once, don’t be sad, as 2nd choice is very good.

There is a snippet in another post which is correct. I will say no more.

People! People! Peoples! No questions in any form. I don’t want you to loose access

Ooooooooo, you tease!

Ooooooooo, you tease!

*Trawls back over the pages of today’s thread*

Edit: finds mention of Jonny Evans and stops as feeling queasy...

 

[gazzeh]

Ooooooooo, you tease!

I think I know which one... Commercially

 

[Roynie]

Yes, I saw that link. He seems to be highly regarded, despite his age. I just hope we get more of our 1st choices than we usually seem to get, allegedly!

Because it's impossible to catch up on a 100 page thread every day. Having it all summarised is much easier. It also goes to Twitter and brings us in more users, etc.

Didnt we have ITK in the past from Herc suggesting we were after Jonathan Tah if Toby left, I wonder if he could be one of the two. Surely tho that would mean no Ligt.

Love the positivity Herc. If we get some in before June (or honestly, if Poch just signs a new contract at all) will donate 50 to the pot!

 

[U.S. Spurs Fan]

Herc has consistently mentioned DeLigt in previous snippets so when he says “very promising, along with our 1st choices” I’m guessing that he is one of them which is great to hear.

Really intrigued by the Germany mention, especially the “at least once” part. I don’t think we have had a really solid link there yet, at least one that was figured out by everyone. There is a player that would be commercially huge but I won’t mention his name.

CM is still the spot I have no idea about. Gomes and Cristante are only names I remember being mentioned by ITK but neither are German.

For the Germany links, I think that a couple of Dortmund players would fit into our pressing style of play and you'd have to think that the major ones would be Reus and Pulisic. Pulisic's US nationality would be another nod to the links we are setting up with Nike, the NFL, etc. Timo Werner would also fit with our buying in younger players policy.

 

[Univarn]

If we're going to be getting back into the guess every player from or with a connection to X country game I am pretty sure A&C is going to just nuke this site from orbit so maybe can we not? I like the ITK.

 

[archiewasking]

Herc, you're absolutely right.

De Ligt would score more goals...

You can forget a Christmas card this year buddy

I may be dim, but I couldn't find the "good news" solution from igijedi's itk. Can anyone tell me what it was?

Davinson Sanchez contract extension

Sanchez extended his contract until 2024.

 

[Spursinmyhart]

Has anyone read Roses comments? It doesn’t sound like he is planning on leaving anytime soon

Or Pulisic and Sancho ?

 

[Benny Boy]

If I recall correctly, someone who'd never had ITK before claimed this last summer as well (not this guy), so everyone calm down lol.

That was me mate, a friend of Mawson's Dad said we had made a bid and it was being considered - A&C validated
