The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 24th July 2015

= Supporters not turning up in their droves. So many empty seats in so many games last season

Have to agree our average attendance was down by 80 last year. You could almost fill a pub with that many people.

Would be very happy with Berahino. Could be a risk but I've wanted him for 18 months now.

 

[PT]

im guessing its based on what he knows, but not sure how much is his opinion

And that's the grey line - opinion vs fact or personal spin on fact. What's what?

Agree berahino would be a good little coup, fast, defoe-eesque finishing, grear foil for kane and will link in well wwith ericwon as berahinos movement is gòod. Also if he forms a partnerahip with kane then it will improves his england chances no end.

JJ on the stories on SB currently circulating

@therealnellio: all these stories about berahino true mate?
@jetsetyid: Not sure what the stories are but definitely a possibility

JJ on whether he will sign in the next 48 hours

@therealnellio: a few stories going about he's signing in the next 48 hours
@jetsetyid: maybe

side note - give up twitter JJ and just check in with us here!!
side-side note - seems like this has some serious legs.
side-side-side note - only give up twitter if it makes you happy. whatever makes you happy JJ. Don't mean to impose. whatever makes you happy. happy. happy.

Hi Twlurk, like everyone else in here I like ITK and JJ Jetset, seems to get great fairly reliable info. I hope I don't offend you too much by saying this, but that section at the bottom of your post reads in a very embarrassing and cringe worthy way. I'm sure you are a great guy, so why undersell yourself in this way. Anyway as I mentioned before, I don't mean to offend.

I don't know what's more surprising, the fact that we may actually be signing Berahino, or that the Express may actually have got something right.

Side-note - it's technically 24 hours because that article was published last night

Must be some legs in it, as you'd expect 110% that West Brom would have had a story out with Pulis/Peace denying the transfer plausibility in some way. There was an article written by Neil Fissler in the Express regarding the transfer, which the WBA fans have had a moan about, and he's made a bold statement regarding it. Any more detail would be down to the Berahino thread though.

I think the ITK suggests enough that we'll make it a deal - fits into the long term too.

Looks like there's not really any other team left that'd be bigger than WBA that would be interested, tbh.

 

[TWLURK]

and here is why JJ should leave twitter and make A&C a happy man......

In reference to JJ saying SB as "maybe" signing in 48 hours

@rich20101982: ha same Jetsetyid that said TA wasn't signing
@jetsetyid: seriously?

 

[Blackrat1299]

im guessing its based on what he knows, but not sure how much is his opinion

I can see why we are going for the 'Younger' player, this is for the long haul, not a quick fix.

 

[Hoopspur]

I've held my tongue for long enough.

Can the ITKs stop being selfish and tell us who we're signing so I can sign them of FIFA.

I'm trying to be as realistic as possible on it, for example I'm putting Adebayor on the transfer list but also increased his contract to £400k a week and ignoring all transfers, so he picks up his wages for free just like in real life the ****

Oi, get back to the mop....

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Seems to me that Berahino will come in just as Bobby is heading out.

 

[millsey]

Agreed. Everyone seems to jizz themselves over a younger player, but I want to be good next season . And if we aren't good next season, it's likely we will have another manager the next season and the overhaul begins again. Young players are good if they are good enough now.

 

[Jonesywasbestever]

Would much rather have someone who knows the league than an unproven player, certainly for a substantial fee...what's the big deal with Germany? I'm still wary after Kevin Prince Boateng!

Been burnt too many times with 'talented' imports! Even the good ones took time to acclimatize, think we need additions that are ready to hit the ground running this time around.

I think a certain Jurgen Klinsmann was quite useful, wasn't he?

If true, I can see Kane/Berahino/Shaq being our three options. Something tells me Poch is keen on Shaq, or is at least willing to give him the chance to do a kane

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Possibly, although I guess you could add Werner to that list - if he signs.

so stick to the policy that has failed us last few seasons? or go back to the tried and tested one that our best teams have come from?, we are trying to build a team for the future not quick fixing things, the most successful teams are generally built and grow together and not thrown together

think this is one of the most exciting and optimistic times i felt as a spurs fan. finally feel like we have a game plan and sticking to it

 

[millsey]

Only problem with that, is if we do play Kane and berahino on the left in games, shaq is only option on bench. Still need another one I think

Just a joke pal. Relax. The only substance and point of your post was to point out that you weren't trying to offend - I'd like to acknowledge that I wasn't offended.

Anyway - best for the both of us to move on and not clog up this forum with this tripe. Enjoy your day. Try to stay happy

 

[rossdapep]

I guess Atlanta yid's update rules out a lot of players we've been linked to such as cambiasso etc

The young guys in our team are from the academy and only got a chance because of our expensive flops. I'm all for young exciting talent, my point is they have to be ready for the first team this season, as we need to be a lot stronger than last season. The like of berahino are that
