The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 19 August 2011

[hardcorepman]

Sky sports news just reported diarra for in excess of 10 million euros will complete tonight

 

[kieron91]

Breaking news on SSN that we are closing in on Lass

 

[Dare!]

Finally we're gonna get a signing. Then we move onto Ade. :dance:

 

[morriss]

Come on Peanut!!!

 

[beats1]

Crouchie is perfect for Europa League.

Is this the competition where we play the kids, once the season starts

When Peanut tells me, I'll believe it.

did peanut say apple and pairs?

Who asked about formations?

Vdv is key. In the biggest games it's likely to remain rafa + ade, but like I was told today, we have arguably the best wingers in European football for finding the byline. There will still be many games where you'll see a 4-4-2. We are playing lots of games so I'd imagine we will see many systems.

Not groundbreaking I know but that's what I was told

And to be fair I reckon there is a bit of opinion from my boss in there

Have you heard anything about rossi and marin or another, also the guy who represents eto'o and ferdinand has said something special might be in the next couple of weeks and we all know harry would love ferdinand, Ferdinand + Rossi + Marin=title challengers

Also harry mentioned hazard as possible target at the beginning, did you hear anything

Harry went to watch Hazrad and Gervinho, Thats for certain. I think we would have brought gervinho if Arsenal hadnt have come in so that gives us a clue over type of player we were after. Marin is\was an option. From what I was told, it would be at the end of the window if ever on that one.

Everyone knows my stance on Rossi. I dont beleive that after chasing the boy for over a year, that we would just give up. It might be a case of waiting for Villereal to have a reason to sell (this was taken i think when they sold Cazorla) How about CL exit?

Either way, Harry is working on the training ground now. Like I said before, the leg work is done pretty much like last summer. Its over to Daniel Levy now to finish the deals. I have faith that he will

 

[Snuzzy]

I know this is ridiculous speculation but

in 3 languages = tri-lingual country = Switzerland (French, German, Italian) = Xerdan Shaqiri?

 

[Gbspurs]

Nearly stamp time!!!

 

[stevenurse]

Its a real shame it looks like Ade won't be signed in time for Monday, even if coming off the bench as jones and Evans, despite being good young players are really there for the taking.

Thanks for that, one question, in harry's interview he acts like he has no clue how far a deal is, is that him keeping quiet or does he know and he also said yesterday he hadn't spoke to adebayor which is quiet strange considering or is he fibbing again

This also ties in with wanting a midfielder.

he's a triffic player IMO.

No. They have 4 official languages, Romansh being the other.

 

[Gbspurs]

SSN saying fee around 9m!!!!!! Bargain if true

 

[Brewster]

SSN saying fee around 9m!!!!!! Bargain if true

Yeah then wait for the 'and an agreed fee for Bale if we don't make the CL' :razz:

Or maybe unlike certain ITK's he waits for the deal to be done before saying done. Cut's out confusion.

 

[crazyteknohed]

Is that another name for Helvetian? 'Cause I was gonna chime in about that being the fourth language.

Spain is tri-lingual... back in for Mata, then?

 

[Bofbro]

VDV,Bale,Diarra,Modric and lennon for nearly the same money Carroll cost.

LOL.

Amazing when you look at it like that.

Helvetian just refers to the Swiss people doesn't it? I don't think it's an actual language. Romansh is definitely an official language there though although only about 0.5% of the people speak it.

 

[sweyid]

Might be a long shot, but can you see the strike in Spain being beneficial for us regarding transfers from Spain? Thinking about the likes of Rossi and Mata. If the strike would continue we might have a pretty good chance signing them if they want to play regular football.

Just a thought.
