The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 19th May 2015

[Gaz_Gammon]

God please don't let us be one of the clubs who just goes out and buys players because they played well against us one time and avoid those who don't.

I can think of at least five players this season who have played breathtaking footie, but for whatever reason have been nothing more than ordinary against us. Would i want one or two of those in our starting eleven, hell yes!

Not ITK, but a nice stat from the bbc website:

Did you know? Only Burnley (4,297km) and Tottenham (4,219km) have covered more ground than Southampton's players in the Premier League this season. Between them, the Saints squad have run 4,181km, an average of 113km per game.

Wonder how much of that was schniederlin?

I know MS covers a fair bit of ground but I'm more impressed with his positioning. He knows his position inside out.
Yes Tottenham have covered a lot of ground but unfortunately some of our players have looked like headless chickens this season. At times very disjointed.

Anyway probably best we keep this to ITK talk.

I guess the point we are all looking at is that for the first time in fuck knows how long we want to see our dear barlhead leader buy the player/ players the coach wants, pure & simple, if he produces those players there can be no excuses then surely?

Strange WTF rating I received from @KaNoUtE9, hoping you were on your phone and meant to rate it creative!

There was a for context

sorry mate, that rating was a mistake.

 

[ardiles]

you want itk you say? ok! not the most exciting perhaps

jasper on so on poch being given 30 mill to spend this summer: Media bs (30m). All targets agreed from what I am aware of. Regardless if they all come in first will not determine how quick or slow the deals happen as we have to shift. Within the club staff are excited and confident by the deals themselves. Not long to wait.

How I see this is that
Poch has given Levy ( and the others) a list of targets which Levy has accepted subject to some of the outgoings being sold first.

So if Poch wants MS then the club will get him if we can offload some of the unwanted players to reduce the size of the squad.

No worries mate, thought as much. Cheers for removing it

Do we think this means that all targets are agreed by "the committee' as in we know who we want, ?

I would imagine so.

The second part about staff being excited and confident of the deals, leads one to believe that they are confident the deals will be made and we will get the player. With our past history of deals not going through, i would think it would be a factor that the source wanted to clarify.

Lloris and McGee are both 6ft 2 in (188 cm).

McGee is a lot taller than loris he is easily 6-4

 

[samsonlevi]

Out of the wide forwards potentially available Pedro is the player we should be going all out for......if he's available!

Has any ITK either stated he's a target or ruled him out?

On this subject what players has JJ ruled out so far? (Hopefully not Pedro)

Just Lavezzi. Jasper and Trix have also attested to this, and Trix also says he hears we've no interest in Konoplyanka.

JJ has ruled out Kono in the past I believe as well.

 

[Sweech]

JJ has ruled out Kono in the past I believe as well.

I would've been more impressed if he did so in the future.

 

[DaSpurs]

True, but he's yet to recently, which I take to be a bit more "relevant" as I've no doubt at least some new transfer planning has been undertaken in the last few weeks ago, as all clubs do.

Early business and get the team playing a system. That's the dream. Hit the first game on a charge.

..and then we can get back to hitting the red wine around game 25

 

[Parkie]

Would be the biggest turnaround of all time if he's becomes a top player for us

Bigger than Bale's?

 

[gibbospurs]

No change then! "We've learnt our lesson" rumour shock.

 

[Flynn]

Early business and get the team playing a system. That's the dream. Hit the first game on a charge.

Come on, even if we got rid of all the dead wood, filled all the holes in the first team with top notch players and bought a couple of decent prospects for the future we'd all be sat here August 31st hoping for a VDV moment.

Bigger than Bale's?

Bale was far far far better than Lamela is
