The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 20th August 2017

[Jamturk]

So am I right in thinking the fee has been agreed with Fulham?

 

[rossdapep]

Or Fulham changed their minds and decided to cash in now to give them funds for 3 new signings

I reckon you could be right. I doubt very much he wanted to stay win the Championship, he would have wanted to stay purely for game time. However after Rose's public outburst, we have probably given him some assurances.

JJs ITK is a nice little booster before today's game. Hopefully we aren't too far away from completing all 3.

I don't see Sessengon as a Rose replacement. He has been playing as a part of Fulham's front 3 in recent weeks. Think we are buying him because we see his massive potential and we can't afford to let him go elsewhere

 

[Rob]

It should be noted that you slags have had two exceedingly easy cryptics to deal with from me this summer.

You're due a tough one.

They've still not spotted the one from a few weeks back that you slipped in...

And so the wild goose chase begins

Oh please Archie, slip it in again

Sessegnon, I suggest would be for the attacking midfield 3, not as a CF, ultimately a Sissoko replacement in the squad. I reckon we'll make do with Kane and Janssen up top, with Son as backup. As such, I'd expect Wimmer and Sissoko to be the only outgoings now.
We have the Walker money, plus Sigurdsson sell on, plus I'd assume Bentaleb, Fazio and Njie, added to potentially Wimmer and Sissoko money, which should just about cover what we pay on incomings. We know it's usually a zero net spend. Plus some of these are investments for the future, not just now.

As surely it's been alluded to, a transfer window of Sessegnon, Aurier, Barkley, Foyth and of course Sanchez with just one major departure of Walker (and likely Wimmer) I'd say that's absolutely fucking fantastic business.

Fingers crossed this comes to fruition.

Four defenders? Bit much, isn't it? That would sure hasten Rose's departure to help pay for them. And I still think Dier is in the balance. If Barkley comes then he'll be alongside Moussa and Victor (not to mention the occasional Other Harry) for those two midfield places, and adding four defenders while Eric, Toby and Jan are together means the bench will be getting mighty crowded.

I would usually agree, but the ITK has been saying that the Martial rumours have legs, which means there's a chance that Rose could be going to Man Utd

Obviously all speculation, but there's a possibility it might happen

 

[carpediem991]

28m for Sessegnon?

What have they done to DL?
Thats irritating given we still have Davies and Rose, haven't we?

Guys, why disagree? I haven't even said whether I like it or not . That is just not a normal Spurs move

 

[whatislifewithoutspurs]

Oh please Archie, slip it in again

 

[srups34]

We have been looking Levy/Spurs to spend big money on players for years, now they're doing it, some still think theres a hidden agenda. I see it as planning to win cups/titles in the near future, competing with the big boys so to speak. Our time has arrived. COYS

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Sessegon at 28 million isn't that much as it will be heavily reliant on clasuses I'd imagine?

Levy must be feeling unwell or another player is going .

Saying that we can afford to speculate to accumulate as we know we have players worth insane amounts to bail us out.

Maybe just maybe Danny Rose is comments made levy wake up.

 

[Baleismygod]

Said it before and I'll say it again, Sessegnon would be out signing of the summer. This boy is something special. He will be twice the player Rose is and although probably won't have a huge impact on the team this year, he will be one of our most important players in the coming seasons if we can get this over the line.

Noises coming out are all very positive. I'm not used to this as a Spurs fan....

 

[cockerel downunder]

Didnt he declare martial law at some point?

 

[wiggo24]

Perhaps Sessegnon is the pacey wing forward?

Who first mentioned the 'game changer' thing? I thought it was Hercules, but I can't find his post when I search for it. Or was it only Gyid who said it?

both, Herc first.

From what I remember, I think hercules put it as a hash tag and all one word which may have ruined your search. Both mentioned it
