The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 28 July 2011

[venablesphil]

I knew it was only a matter of time before we had our first SC ITK related suicide, seems a few have had the blades ready for awhile!

On a more related to ITK note Brownheads stuff looks positve - ecspecially the fire sale from DL if it needs it (Hint - It needs it!) However I really think we will get some triffic new players before the window is out - we have had so much ITK saying how HR and DL are desperate to get top quality in and push the club forward.

I'm a believer - we will sign a top quality striker!! COYS

Probably not worth RO section, but if anyone is following the Under 20's at the moment, keep an eye out for Saido Berahino. We are having a good look, but we're probably not the only ones

and the name is slightly mis-leading

After reading Brownheads itk, it got me thinking about Barrios. Not a marquee signing perhaps but well known and fairly young I think. Is this who you were referring to a couple of days ago (I think it was you)

Barrios or saido?

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Barrios would be awesome. If he and Vucinic are what we're after then we're finally looking at thebright fit for our forward needs.

 

[Hot-Spur]

Who's bogof? He a Russian player? :razz:

Yes he plays in the blue and yellow league :wink:


Seriously though Barrios is interesting, I mentioned him ages ago, thought he was pretty good but now apparently he is no better than Pav? :???:

 

[ryantegan]

We have a long term interest in Barrios. I dont imagine that we are doing anything unless we have been knocked back for certain on Rossi at least

35 goals in 69 games for Boruissa Dortmund is better in my eyes that Pavs 20 goals in 73 games.

Yes I know wiki stats dont prove he is a good player but I think he could do a decent job for us and a better one than some of our current crop!

You obviously prefered the days under Irving Scholar and Alan Sugar where we were on the brink of going out of business and then scrapping with the FA on this that and all the other? Sugar saved the club and then decided it was taking too much of his own wealth. ENIC and Levy have grown our club to its greatest foundation EVER.

:clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

 

[Mr Pink]

I would of thought Diarra is likely, surprised he wasn't mentioned in the latest ITK.

Would love Rossi I just cant see it happening (not that Barrios is any more likely in my eyes - why leave German champs and CL for us)

Would love to be proved wrong though!

"Germany 3 Spain 2"
"All Deals will come from Germany and Spain"

Then Brownhead posts that, The Journalist, sir. I salute you. Bang on the money.

 

[bubble07]

If the Vucinic info is true at least we are going for the right type of striker. But I find it a bit strange how the Roma owner doesn't mention us considering we have agreed a fee with both the club and the player

Vucinic??

 

[L-man]

Didnt Barrios come on late in the Copa America final and had a really nasty off the ball injury in the last few minutes? Looked painful like a torn hamstring. Said he was doubtful before the match and thats why he didnt start.

Or am i going crazy and thinking of someone else, and no, I can't be arsed to look

Hold your horses for a bit

I appreciate the info no doubt, but lets face it, its only bang on the money if something actually materialises.

Until then, thankyou for the info, adds to all the fun :beer:

He has a thigh injury yes but only 2/3 weeks apparently

 

[ryantegan]

I get the feeling that this could be Suarez all over again.

I have not heard a peep regarding Vucinec. I'm not saying it aint happening, just wondering whether this is something Levy is setting up that maybe Harry isnt keen on.

I'll dig again tomorrow

 

[SpurinChicago]

I really like Barrios. Would be an excellent signing imho.

 

[Hot-Spur]

So are Vucinec and Barrios quite similer players?

 

[L-man]

Oh ok, when it happened they said he would probably miss the start of the season so i wasn't sure how long he'd be out for and whether we'd go and bid for an injured player
