The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 22nd August 2012

[faulks]

I think left back is a postion which we could do with strengthing really - not a fan of Ekotto - you always get a few mistakes from him in a game.

Stuggle to find a better replacement for BAE without spending alot of money, money that could be better used elsewhere.

Fresh ITK boys....

Who: Grey Fox
Where: SC
When: 22nd August

Get the Stoof stamp ready, very close to two incoming one up front one midfield. Last offer going in for Leandro, we will move on if not accepted. At least five more on the way out a mix of sales and loans most of the youngsters will now be kept for the new kiddies league.

Sad about Dawson, but was expected as i said last week and now excited and confident that we will see at least one if not two newbies paraded on Saturday.

How can we be close to signing one up front if we haven't even had the bid accepted?

Close has been an over used word this window.

 

[AX-Spur]

FIVE more on the way out???

Rose
Jenas
Bentley
GDS
Gomes

??

Close is the new done.

 

[thejames]

Wilian I reckon.

Willian has previously compared himself to Modric, FWIW...

This back when Chelsea were lubing both him and Oscar up simultaneously.

Unless it means we are close to another forward and we are still bidding for Leandro. That way we can then cash in on Defoe.

It does sound a bit strange, but at a guess terms already agreed with Leandro, so will go through if the final offer is accepted. Possibly already agreed fee & terms with the back-up option?

Perhaps the one up front is a Johnson/Willian-esque player... Ie. Not a striker per se.

 

[nedley]

Wilian I reckon.

But he's not really a midfielder in a midfield 3.

My thinking is Hudd out and M'Vila in.

Willian should be cover for the wings.

 

[nailsy]

BBC are saying Hudd to Stoke now.

Is Wilian not an attacking midfielder / winger though, hes not a striker I dont think?

Aye but I would still consider a 'winger' to be a midfielder.

 

[What Lies Beneath]

hes a forward player so was kinda going with that as he said one up front and one midfield well leandro isnt as close so must be willian

 

[joethfc]

Not so much in the system we want to play.

 

[tRiKS]

not wishing to sound greedy but are the mentions of 1 maybe 2 is that excluding Ade we think?

 

[tRiKS]

Willian is a wide forward in the formation we are looking to play. he's not off the front man centrally. sig, vdv and and hopefully a new signing are for that role.
