The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 23 June 2011

[Archibald&Crooks]

Only a few bits of ITK yesterday and seeing as I have a busy day in front of me it'll only take you a couple of minute to catch up on it.

Thread refreshed.

Have you donated to SC yet?
No? Then clicky!

Busy day yesterday, hopefully more involved and contributing with some decent info today.

 

[Gary-22]

Today is the day

 

[Lo Amo Speroni]

Today is the day

According to that guy on Twitter it is :grin:

Let's see if the guy on twitter was right

Highly unlikely we'd sign someone out of the blue. If we were close to a transfer then someone would have picked up on it so if there is a transfer today I can only see it being Leandro.

This. That being said, I'll still spend all day shitting myself.

Rossi or Ade please!!


































Scott Parker isn't it :lol:

I'd desperately be hoping for some kind of movement before the beginning of July. It just seems that already everyone else is buying early to prepare for the season ahead, and we're stalling because we still have the likes of Bentley, Keane, Gio and Jenas on our books.


Can't see us buying before we sell, despite what the ITK's suggest.

Agree Hughy, yet the best way to show Modric that we mean business and it's worth him staying another season, is to make some quality signings - obviously in the striker department.

Unfortunately the ones we really want are waiting on Barca, United, Chelsea etc to sort themselves out. It is sickening because if we'd won a few soft games last season we'd have so much more pulling power.

 

[Twizzle]

To be honest I dont expect us to sign anyone until the last few weeks

So why am I here ?

Us ITK junkies need our daily fix.

Oh.............and its a nice sunny day here in Gods country

I know it's all done and dusted but I still can't quite get over the fact that we got 4 points out of 18 against West Brom, Blackpool and West Ham.

I know that if we were to sign some one today it will have to be from our shores.

 

[Hot-Spur]

Morning people, nice sunny today, I sense something good happening

The only name that we have been vaguely linked with that will show a statment of intent needed to show Modric we mean business is ETO. The others we have been linked in Damao, Rossi, Vucinivic, Adebayor, Parker, etc are not big names currently and certainly wont excite us fans and show Modric we truly mean business.

If we could pull off Eto some how the whole place will be lifted. Add a young striker like Damiao, and bring in Parker to replace the outgoing dead wood in midfield. O Hara, Palacios, Jenas (hopefully!) and also sign Adebayor (Dont like him as a person but think hes an absolute handful!) to replace Keane, Defoe, and Crouch, and Pav.

We will have a strike force of Eto,, Damiao, and Adebayor.

Could you imagine the excitement going to the Lane for the first game against Everton. The place will be buzzing and it will be a happy place once again! Modric will definately feel that we have the ambition needed and you know what? We would be a very good outside bet for the title.

Of course it wont happen, what do I know? I am just a fan!

Unfortunately we're not a big enough draw yet for a player like Eto'o.

Interesting to see if we make a move for wickham today. I'd imagine That if we did, then it would suggest problems with the leandro deal.
Although as I was told earlier in the summer, it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility to sign two from leandro wickham and lukaku, if it looked as though we could bring in a lead striker also. We have to raise the profile of the club, would a Rossi do that? All I know is that we are gonna be bold and aggressive, given the opportunity to sell the club, Harry believes we could persuade anyone. We're a massive club in a great city.

There are players at the club who are actively seeking pastures new. I don't think we will have too much of a problem shifting them.

I don't think they are though. Yes there's been a few transfers but it's hardly been wall to wall signings has it? In fact other than Man Utd I'm not sure anyone has significantly strengthened yet.

I just think it's easy to look at our reams and reams of ITK and ask why we haven't signed anybody but I suspect it's the same with every team at the moment.

You are probably right. I just remember the times when we signed Klinsmann out of the blue when we were a mid table club. Maybe I am deluded!
