The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 25 August 2011

What about if shitty decide they want him to go on a permanent move, not a loan?
Thats one of many many scenarios which could be the reason for a hold up. Are you serious, when you say you cant understand what the hold up could be?? thousands of little snags, and that'll be just in the contract...:duh:

Wasn't the ITK a couple of weeks ago saying it was a loan with a view to a permanent move (ie fee and wages already agreed)?

Yes, I am serious when I say I can't understand what the hold up would be. There's not "thousands" of little snags in a loan deal, however there are a few issues and scenarios that could happen in any protracted negotiations which a professional outfit should be able to anticipate and make contingencies for.

OK mr transfer expert I will spell it out for you.

6 days til the window closes.

Have we signed any strikers? No
Have we signed a much needed centre back? No
Have we signed any midfielders? No
Have we shifted much deadwood? No

+1

 

[kishman]

Have any ITKs responded to Diarra's comments?

 

[archiewasking]

We're gonna get Joe Cole and Scott Parker people. And that's it. And all the other clubs going for CL will go :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:at us. Again. :evil:

 

[steventhfc]

If he he decides to not invest in the areas this year, that we are crying out for the, ENIC then enjoy our foreseeable future battling for a spot in the top 8, let alone the top 4.

This is a fucking joke.

You not think Gyan will be in a helicopter come dead line day....Eek :grin:

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Just imagine we don't sign anyone, what will it do the fans let alone the players!. Its all good signing these youngsters but we need ready made players, its beggining to feel like the goons across the road!mg:

 

[Dan Ashcroft]

I don't really buy the Ade and Lass breakdown stories. I'm still pretty confident they'll go through ok.

My concern though if the longer we faff around with these, the less time we've got to go after a second striker and a CB. Especially with Levy distracted by all the NDP stuff (deadline for us to withdraw the JR also being 1 Sept)

 

[Paxtonite]

ARE.......WE......THERE......YET??????

Should have carried on posting :sleepy: until we bought someone :razz:

It is very scary that this looks very possible now! :bang: :violin:

I do find the end of a transfer window, and with spurs in particular to be a time in which there are several contradictions...for example

"The reason it hasnt been announced is because negotiations arent a quick process and they need to take time" - when we havent signed anyone yet

but by the same token it is also claimed that "we dont need to panic as there are still 6 days left"

I know things change and the whole waiting game etc but come on, what team in its right mind, unless badly needing money is going to sell its best players (in most cases these are the players within europe we need to improve us) with no time to replace? so far at least its a pretty huge fail. but i do have faith for some reason...maybe blind hope?

 

[Super Tottenham]

So glad I've got a busy bank holiday weekend planned, so I don't slowly lose the will to live reading the depressing comments here at times. If we are no better off by the Tuesday though surely everyone is justified to be a bit worried?

 

[talkshowhost86]

this

I wonder when the people telling everyone to calm down will actually start panicing

or maybe they are happy watching Crouch do sod all for the rest of the season

If the window closes and we haven't strengthened I'm sure 'they' will be as unhappy as everyone else.

As that hasn't happened yet, 'they' are keeping a clear head and an open mind and waiting to see what happens.

Frankly 'they' are alot more pleasant to deal with and I wish there was alot more of 'they'.

No point in complaining about reactions to ITK in an ITK thread, is there? Some people are more involved than others, is all.

One love etc.

 

[bubble07]

People have to realise that we are one of only 3 clubs to have a net profit from last window and this window. Maybe there really isn't any money in the system

 

[JJetset]

OK mr transfer expert I will spell it out for you.

6 days til the window closes.

Have we signed any strikers? No -or they have maybe Signed and not yet announced for other outgoing players reasons..... :wink:
Have we signed a much needed centre back? No But In deep talks with more than a few
Have we signed any midfielders? No Not quite yet but close.......
Have we shifted much deadwood? No Yes Keano is the first of many

Have we stopped our best player from going to Chelsea ... Yes
Did our team need a massive overhaul...No
Do you need a cup of herbal tea and some salt? yes
Do you understand what is going on at Tottenham..... NO ?

 

[WHLpoetry]

I'm not trying to stir here, but wern't the mods agreed that the Addy deal was 100% done a couple days ago? They even went into quite a bit of detail on how they wouldn't usually bother saying it, however the contact was of such high quality, that they could do so without risk?

Has this changed guys?

For my part, as long as your still confident, I'm still confident.

That must be why we bid for Aguero in January

 

[we_all_loved_freund]

What time does the transfer window shut on Tuesday?
