The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 20th August

Interesting and strange info.

Yah. The problem is that: We all know that CF is our first priority. But if we wait until selling TN to buy a 50m striker, then this would definitely not happen very soon.

Don’t like the CM will be Hojbjerg and one of glc or winks. We need a new CM - how can Jose not see winks isn’t good enough to start. GLC is class but he can’t get us top four on his own he needs someone of similar quality and mr sideways/backward 5yd pass isn’t that man

Absolutely.

We've lost Eriksen creativity and it's a big ask for GLC to have that on his shoulders.

Player is not zaha , not a London based club and player is a number 9

Striker Dragon is talking about is Clearly Ings imo.

If Dragon is referring to Ings - and it is a big if - I'm not sure that we'd get him.

Ings had a very hard time at Liverpool. Couldn't establish himself. Got very few opportunities (not helped by injuries). He's now at a good club, that also happens to be his boyhood club (both as a fan and youth team player), where he is the main man and where the team was in top four form during the second half of the season. I'm not sure that he'd want to go back to being potentially a backup striker at a club - Spurs - for which he has no particular affinity. I doubt he'd even get much of a pay rise by moving to us.

The itk about Wilson seems much more credible.

Latest ITK does not have me brooming with confidence? Seems we again play a waiting game at risk of finishing empty handed??‍

That's a bit of a sweeping statement.

Hopefully Calvert-Lewin, I like him as a Centre Forward, but would he be worth as much as £50m?

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

I expect the RB situation to be resolved before the season but relying on selling TN to acquire the ‘better’ striker on our shopping list could be a real grind

Very interesting info.

Hopefully we can drum up some interest in the likes of Lamela etc.

Going against the grain slightly here but my first thought at the Striker was Jimenez.

He does wear a 9 so you might not be wide of the mark

I wouldn't be surprised is that's what everton were asking for.

 

[mill]

only way I can see us spending £50m on a striker is if we know kane is leaving next summer

 

[GutBucket]

Rakitic will probably go back to Sevilla, even if we sold Ndombele for 100m no way Levy would spend 50m on a striker when we still need another CM and least one RB. Could also use more HG players and they are rarely cheap.

Can we not get sucked into guessing who the £50million man is please lads. I’ve got a long shift today and it’s gonna be way worse if I can’t check this thread every 30 seconds.

 

[DiVaio]

Waiting for the moment when Dragon realise the fact we didn't paid 42m but 60m eur(55m gbp) for Ndombele

 

[DannyNZ]

Sounds like he’s gonna be the next Adel Taarabt, except fatter and richer

Or Bentley perhaps!

We probably didnt reach the 55 due to certain things not being met.

 

[Yid121]

£50m on a back up striker ?

Players not in the in the bottom 3 or top 4: Jimenez, Ings, Wood, Calvert-Lewin, Joelinton, McBurnie, J.Hernandez

I don't get the secret. It can only be 1 or 2 players.

That 60m euro was base with 10m in addons.
