The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 26th May 2015

How sad is it that you got disagree's for that? Some people would rather support our arch rivals than an ex player/manager who didn't actually do bad for us.

Or maybe some don't give a fuck and aren't going to be watching or take an interest and will not become either "Villa fans" or "Arsenal fans"

 

[Wellspurs]

I disagree. As a strict rule, two whores are always better than one.

And better than 72 virgins as Billy Connolly once pointed out?

We'll all be Villa fans on Saturday

Interestingly enough, if Villa win the FA Cup, they'll go ahead of us (24) for Domestic honours won (25) and equal on FA Cups won (8)

Take that any day over Arse winning two FA Cups in a row.

Trippier will be 25 in September. Where was he at 22?

nearly, nut not quite still signed to Man City

 

[Audere_est_Facere]

Trippier will be 25 in September. Where was he at 22?

Trippier age 22 in the 2012/13 Championship season played 45 times for Burnley and got 12 assists.
Fredericks age 22 in the 2014/15 Championship season played 17 times for Middlesbrough and got 0 assists.

A little surprising yes but I'm not going to get upset about a few disagrees to one of my posts.

Neither am I going to be sat wearing Claret and Blue, I'll just be watching the final with a preference of a villa win. Might even put a few quid on the upset for shits and giggles.

Anyway..... back to ITK shall we

I don't see how assists are ever relevant in judging a player, never mind a left back/wing back.

An assist is a measure of whether or not a goal was scored by the recipient, not by any means an accurate measure of the player himself (or the quality of his pass) - not to mention the floppy nature of the definition of an 'assist' by different observers.

Most of it is on point - there's a question around the suitability of Trippier, Ings and Berahino, as it seems some don't see them as a definite improvement over what we already have in our ranks.

Ings and Berahino look like no-goes anyway, and I can't say I'm too disappointed. I'd still like us to sign a more senior striker, as I think it's important to the development of Kane.

The most interesting aspect of the summer will be Tim's interaction with ourselves. I wonder if there'll be the chance of him providing first-team football to Pritchard in the same way that Walker had at Villa.

Part of me would like to see a Benteke link, but I'm worried that Sherwood gets performances out of players that aren't indicative of their "normal" ability. I can see us offloading some players to Villa if we went for any of their players, though.

 

[Bulletspur]

Possibly you're right but we'll see if pritchard makes it im pleased dont get me wrong but I just think that Grealish is more likely to thrive in the prem!!

If it was not for Pritchard's Spurs connection most would agree with you

 

[Lo Amo Speroni]

I maintain that if Pritchard leaves this summer I will be sodomizing a crocodile.

Out of interest, does anyone know where a crocodile's arse is?

 

[DaSpurs]

Nah, but with enough rage and margarine I'm sure I could make it work.

 

[neilp]

I think he is managing Villa now?

Lennon, Ade, Kaboul, Carroll. Capoue, Townsend... for Benteke. Would solve a lot of problems for both of us.

I'd offer Ade, Kaboul, Capoue, Chiriches and Carroll.

I think Townsend has value still.

 

[CowInAComa]

What FA cup final? And who the fuck is trippier?

Am I in the twilight zone or something. You're all speaking nonsense.

Or, you know, we just don't give a sweet fuck about Villa.

I'd say my backup team is Swansea anyway. Everyone else can screw off.

I won't be cheering either of them on. Probably won't even watch it to be honest.
