The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 19th May 2015

[ryantegan]

I watched Matty Ryan in the game we played against Southend. I have followed him since and think he is turning into a top drawer keeper

Although this morning:

From Coys:

...maybe we should be looking at Gladbach players...

TRIX: Perhaps we already are

Later on:


They have a few very good players, Kramer is a player that has been mentioned.
---------------------------------------------------

I know it is Spurs, so this is stupid- but i've started getting very excited and optimistic for the summer with MS as a first option but players with the ability of Kramer being sounded out for second options,rather than having lack of thought and rushed plan Bs....

Yeah..i know...don't speak too soon....

 

[Spurger King]

@SpurgerKing we are signing you?

Too expensive

 

[Chris12]

Would be odd if we got Matt Ryan, would must mean either Lloris would be off or Vorm, no way would we have a world class GK and then 2 very good GK as 2nd and 3rd choice

You do have an eye for this things Jay, I'll grant you that.

I remember commenting there were a lot of goalies in a recent training video. Maybe MoPo was not impressed by any.

There's 6 GKs in the academy (as well as the 3 senior ones) - Archer, McGee, Miles, Voss, Glover and McDermott.

Archer has been out-on-loan this season, while McGee and Miles made EL benches (oddly one match (Asteras away) both were on the bench

I think McGee might become our #3 next season, with Archer being sold and Miles released.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

No one knew Mason would take to the EPL, so we can't judge how Pritchard will do.

We all thought Tom Carroll would make it and he had a few EPL loans? such a shame, but hopefully all fingers crossed he makes the step up and comes good for us

Not all of us did. I assumed he would become a decent mid-table player, and I'm not surprised that ITK expect him to leave. He can make a living in the PL, though. Maybe for Aston Villa?

trix: Kramer is a player that has been mentioned.

£12m Kramer over £25m Schneiderlin is an absolute no brainer for me.

I really like Kramer's aggressive passing and energy - he'd be a good like-for-like option to mix up (any 2 from 3) with Bentaleb and Mason (assuming he'd be replacing Stambouli)

Who said Kramer was £12m ??

 

[guy]

It's mat with one t!

You're welcome

 

[Chris12]

Kramer looks slow as fucks, give Stambouli run for his money

 

[dwaynedibley]

We've got enough players for the future at the moment and what we need now is guaranteed starters this summer or we will fall further behind the big boys and those behind will close the gap.

 

[Twizzle]

Kramer is 24 and has represented Germany, I'd say he's about the right age

 

[guy]

Hold up, Kramer is on loan at BMG? Would leverkusen sell him?

 

[not_tenth-again]

Wait, so what nationality is this Matt Ryan guy?

Austrian.... what's with you? can't you read properly?

 

[Danners9]

Hold up, Kramer is on loan at BMG? Would leverkusen sell him?

I'd be surprised. He has been at BMG for 2yrs and recently signed a new contract with Leverkusen until 2019. They have stated he is due back with them for next season.

Archer will go! Mentioned his poor attitude for the last 2-3 seasons.

It's the price Leverkusen have been talking about with Arsenal

Kramer is only a year younger than Schneiderlin and has started the world cup final.

Unless we go for a Davids type signing, like say Cambiasso, Kramer is exactly the type of player in our market.

 

[mikeeegreen]

I have a feeling the two MS alternatives are Kramer and Lars Bender. I can't see Kramer being sold though if he's just signed a new contract. He would be expensive.
