The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 24 August 2010

[yido_number1]

All this talk of O'hara going the other way in transfers must be nonsense ... he's about to have back surgery that would mean he would fail a medical ... it seams pretty obvious...

 

[RBlanch]

It was reported they got 9 Million for McGeady from Spartak.

Celtic are massively in debt

they didn't sell to generate funds for Keane - just to stay afloat

 

[sunnydelight786]

These constand itk/links to Parker are just not funny anymore, seriously has the world gone mad with us wanting Scott Fucking Parker over Diarra?

 

[Scutch]

Archie when asked why Parker over Diarra :

Diarra has a bad attitude and a defect of some sort... Harry loves him but Parker is the one they want more as a leader

I can't remember names, but players have passed medicals with broken legs before. I think they assess the injury and speak to doctors to discuss recuperation and the success rate etc.

 

[$hoguN]

As people have pointed out, West Ham got in Dyer knowing his injuries. Tbh they may try to get O'Hara now as he will come at a lower premium then he would if fully fit

 

[PhilosoSPUR]

Does that mean he'll only be cup-tied for half the games? :rofl:

I thought so too, but I looked it up and it's only for Tuesday games that he won't be cup-tied.

:lol:

Will only be cup tied for the first half of the final too

f***in' hell :rofl::rofl:

 

[adiepf]

A mate has said that Fabiano won't be featuring for Sevilla tonight? Anyone else heard this? Accoring to SSN apparently

as far as i am aware he will deffo be in there 18.....

i expect him to play....

 

[StanSpur]

Re O'Hara, could do a deal with West Ham where Jamie goes as part of the Parker deal but if he doesn't prove his fitness in a given period we have to pay them an additional £5m or something. He could even stay with us until January to get fit then transfer to the Hammers for free in the next window. There are ways around the medical issues.

 

[PT]

The transfer fee will be structured to take in to account rehabilitation and recovery. If O'Hara gets back to normal bouncebackability, we get what we agreed on originally.

The way I see it, Parker would be obvious back up for our already talented and pretty complete midfield, whereas Diarra, who would command higher wages, would expect (as precedent suggests) to be first choice come what may.

 

[tommyt]

Hmmmm....

So if Celtic managed to sell another 50,000 shirts (which is being very optimistic)

and we assume they make a profit of £20 per shirt (again very optimistic)

then they've got an extra £1m

Don't see that really helping with a £5m - £8m transfer fee and wages of £65k per week

Celtic's owner, well part owner non-ex director, Dermot Desmond is one very rich Irish man. Keane could single handedly propel Celtic into the CL. Don't be surprised to see this move financed one way or t'other.

 

[racer]

SSN reporting he has a thigh injury and may not feature.

 

[Scutch]

Yeah, I'm still laughing at Diarra being referred to as kidney bean head. So apt.

Also, the condition he suffers from is sickle cell anemia, which causes stomach cramps and intestinal pains. Not good.

 

[jurgen]

SSN reporting he has a thigh injury and may not feature.

Is that a Keano style injury you reckon :wink:

Diarra is a upgrade on Wilson. Parker is a step back 10 years when we used to pay over the odds for has beens and injury prone players, besides he wont be cheap either and is on sky high waes already at west Ham....

 

[Dan Ashcroft]

As Far as i know..

we wont do anything on Fabiano until Thurs as i posted last week. he is our Number 1 target although itsall down to £s and we have taken the risk of him being cup tied which is a shame but we would spend the money on a player of his quality if not in the Champs league

Diarra is our choice AFTER Parker and we are trying to force West hams hand while leaking the Diarra interest. O hara and Hutton may go the other way but poss naughton/Walker on loan.. They want a full back.

We will im sure buy at least 2 players if we qualify or not but it depends on the quality and as always whom we can out.


Thats all i know however of course others may know different

That's absolute madness. Diarra is such a superior player to Parker.

It's like saying you'll keep an Audi TT as a back-up because you really want a Fiat Punto.
