The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 22nd May

Well...
My £1125 Season ticket says I am financing 1/62,222th of him, so YES I AM.

So if we can get him for 50m I will be financing 1/44,444th of him, which I two toenails instead of one.

Bigger piece of the pie!

Christian Pulisic plays as No.22 for BD

Apart from the hint was "age of 22" and Pulisic is 19 years old

Considering the new stadum capacity is 62,062 we just need David to make Ajax accept £69.819.750 instead of 70 mil and the transfer is done.

Bollocks, you're right, he said age

170m on Pascal Gross? Get a grip mate.

If it stops him scoring a pen against us itd money well spent

First message here after spying now and again for a few weeks. The daily ITK has certainly offered an interesting respite to say the least, and it is all appreciated immensely.

From what it seems, though of course this is all speculative, it looks like we may well be spending between 150-200, though that might depend somewhat on the players we can shift and what price we eventually get for them. If we are looking to sign four players say, that gives an average of around 40-50 per player, which seems decent. This leaves wriggle room for a 70mill player, though one of the other players would then have to be a 20-30 bargain. Or even two 70mill approx. players, though both the others players would then have to be sneaky bargains. It is interesting either way, even if I fear some of the players we may have assumed were safe 40-50 range players are now slipping out of our reach and might be forcing us to re-evaluate. This is the usual situation basically, but perhaps on a grander scale. In regards to Bale, I would not be surprised if there is additional money set aside for a potential return, considering it might even financially benefit us, and that this always has been the case. That might explain why there has been certain rumblings on that front and these rumblings appear to go against any supposed budget, but I don’t suspect this will become an eventuality.

Hopefully it all pans out well, and we can come out winning, without sacrificing too many players who have/will meaningfully contribute to the success of the squad.

Just sieved through 8 pages of an ITK thread to read some dodgy team selections, people getting told umpteen times that we won’t spend 70m on a CB and guesses on a CM we’ve not been linked with. 10 mins of toilet time I won’t get back.. lovely

What have things come to when 20-30 million is considered bargain money.

So you’re poo pooing it then?

Indeed, though I think if the exact scenario played out that I was talking about, at least one of those bargains might have to be under twenty. And it is all relative of course. Though yeah, it's all bonkers.

Time to shit or get off the pot.

 

[Hans Gruber]

I think de Ligt is a once-a-generation type player - came up through Ajax as a midfielder, grew into a CB - that kind of technical skill in a CB is priceless - add in his maturity, and mental make-up, I think if we can get him, we have to make every effort.

I think that's how Ajax bring through most of their centre backs. Pretty sure Toby was a MF.

 

[GobbyJJ]

70 million?

 

[SdB]

Martial would be my main target.
Need some umphh and pace wide up top

 

[nailsy]

A&C's going to be very busy tonight at this rate.

 

[eddiev14]

The pre-window optimism of a few weeks ago was always going to give way, at some point, to the horrible, looming reality of Spurs having to actually conclude deals for top players in the current market.

So I see that moment is here...

And I for one welcome our new overlord.

I bet hes feeling a little moist in anticipation

Which thread is the one where you can discuss/guess about the players without getting banned or posts deleted?sorry if it's a dumb ques.

Any player thread that you consider relevant.

 

[mil1lion]

70m is a lot but that's the way the market is now. It must depend on what we get for player sales. If we get an over inflated price for selling players then it wont seem so bad.
