The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 25th August 2015

If we get Embolo, I shall shit the bed with happiness. Bus Conductor has done a great job of pimping him out this summer.

He does look like the better player anyway.
Maybe a bit young but in a few years he could be leaving us for another world record fee.
I'm in.

i wonder how basel's champions league qualifier today will effect our chances with embolo.

 

[millsey]

If we go for players like embolo, we will have to be cer patient as fans that we aren't going to be a very good team for a while. All these raw young players coming in means rails like we have had this season will be frequent

 

[KirstyG]

I really hope we have back up plans for up front if Brom are playing silly f@!kers. Leave them with too many strikers, a higher wage bill and a player that is p!ssed at them for not letting him go...but we can only do that if we have some decent other options...

 

[Spurger King]

At this stage I suspect our backup plan is...

"I'm berry berry habby with the players we have."

We aren't a very good team at the moment so I don't think that will matter.

I suspect the line we will get is that they won't sell now because it's too late to buy a replacement. That's the usual line trotted out round about now, isn't it?

We all know the "back up" is Charlie Austin despite the ITKs saying otherwise, most likely he was our target all along, the entire charade with Berahino was just to play us fans along yet again.

But we will still be expected to challenge 4th and finish in top 6

Where's a *rolls eyes* smilie when you need it? This forum is crying out for one.

From zero to zero in 90
Minutes

 

[TheVoiceofReason]

Either way, if we end up with none of our targets, we'll owe a formal apology to @mikeegreen.

He was right all along! We are indeed, truly fucked.

 

[chinaman]

Well at least, we've got only another 7 days of this nonsense to put up with.

And after that, 70 days of moaning and groaning.

 

[mpickard2087]

I hope we don't sign anyone else. But then I am a **** and would find it funny seeing some of you mentally disintegrate on deadline day

You mean player

The pessimism on here is suffocating.

Granted we aren't playing particularly well, but if you look at the equivalent fixtures from last year - loss to Stoke (H), thumped by United (A), narrowly beating Leicester (A) - we're 1 point worse off than we were. We should be doing better but in no way does it call for this level of negativity.

Oh.....we were this way back in June. The results have very little to do with it

One of our old left-field targets playing opposite him - Eran Zahavi, Tel Aviv's number 7. He's pretty good too...

I see many point to this, but i just don't get it. So next season we should be reasonably happy if we get a point or two from the same fixtures then? Afterall that's how many we got this year. right??

You should follow some infamous spurs fans on Twitter. Then you will know what suffocating pessimism is.
