The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 20th July 2015

What boxes does he tick ? He's not the type to play the drop deep, hold up, lone 9 like Kane does in Poch's system. He's not a wide forward. His all round play is pretty one dimensional. He's basically Defoe with 3 more touches a game and 3 less offsides.

The only box I see him ticking is the one many of our targets this summer seem to be ticking. The half decent but limited box. And again, I think we players here - even Chadli could play the role better and has a similar scoring record per 90 min - who can fill the remit better.

Also like Defoe, he has long periods of goal draughts and not scoring at all. And when he doesn't score, he doesn't do much else. Like Defoe.

Not that he's shit exactly, not was Defoe, but both are/were very limited and neither really fit whatever system it is Poch is trying to implement.

Would be a 'for the sake of it' signing in my book. But then what do I know, I got negged into oblivion for saying I didn't want James McCarthy because he's a bit limited and only a 'quite decent' player. People just want signings, no matter how well they fit us.

How reliable is Jasper?

Brecciated or orbicular?

Don't understand people saying SB wouldn't be a good fit. The Jay Rodriguez role is playing to all his strengths and that is the type of player we've been missing in the attack.

I'd take him, but not for the £20m+ WBA probably want. He needs to mature. Too much risk there to pay that kind of money, IMO.

He could be our Nacer Chadli

Sounds like PSG might have confirmed Stambouli.

Only a kit photo and a pic of him signing the contract? Pretty tenuous if you ask me.

One word: Smokescreen.

 

[yankspurs]

Never got a shot here. Think Poch should have played him more. Hope he plays some for PSG and is successful.

PSG, you've got your man. Now give us Motta or Rabiot.

C'mon Stoof! Get that stamp out....make it official.

 

[Twizzle]

good luck to him, at least he wasn't a dickhead like Ade and co

 

[CanberraSpur]

Seriously what do our Comms team do?

I wonder if Ade goes it might be the first time the club use "We're delighted to announce the sale of..."

I notice you disagreed with my post, Atarrier. Do you mean to say that you don't think the photos of Stambouli wearing a PSG shirt and signing a contract on the official PSG website, accompanied by the quote "I am delighted and very proud to become a member of the Paris Saint-Germain family." are part of an elaborate smokescreen???


God, some people will believe anything...
