The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 28th August 2012

Gonna dream the dream and start thinking about Witsel.

Witsel would almost certainly rule out Moutinho and possibly Dembele.

 

[WhiteHart4Ever]

Interesting from the Journalist and in fairness, he has championed the cause of Lloris as loudly as Aqkayid.

Player from Benfica eh? Would love Gaitan!

Certainly sounds like Lloris is done by the comments from their President. Great deal, IMO.

Yea, he's in the mold of the type of midfielder we could use, so wouldn't surprise me if we kicked the tires on it.

It would be a very good purchase, although John Chapman from Belgofoot says he isn't leaving this week and will possibly go to Real Madrid next season.

Re-watched the MOTD clips of ManU-Fulham yesterday, keeping an extra eye on dembele and i gotta say he really impresses me (tbf he has before too ) . Strength, pace and an abilty to go/wrestle past players and open play up. Anything below 15 mil sounds like a pretty good price to me. Hope we go for him irrespective of any Mouthinho deal.

Witsel's more expensive than Moutinho. The Benfica president wants 40 million euros. Never going to happen

Even after purchasing Modric?

Who knows. Their buying strategy seems haphazard at the best of times.

No Bojan please

Way too small for the Premiership, Tom Carroll looks like a brick shithouse compared with him, no way could he handle the premiership

What the Benfica president wants and what Levy will get him for are 2 different things.

 

[nailsy]

Can anyone remember which one of the ITK's called the Real partnership deal ages ago?

Levy and co. should go on the Porto/Benfica forums and buy up whoever their itk are linking them with, save us a huge amounts.

 

[brasil_spur]

Didn't JJ hint that LD could be a goer at the end of the Brazilian season?

As much as i'd like Leandro we simply HAVE TO GIVE UP on this deal now, for good.

 

[yido_number1]

Fair play to the journo he was one of the first to call up Lloris, after the Huntelaar debacle I was leaning towards WUM but he has faired better this window!

 

[brasil_spur]

Is the deadline 11pm or 12pm?

Hi Rob, has the server been struggling this morning - i've been having some weird stuff going on with the site - being logged out etc....

Good idea but most of them would never get a work permit for the UK.

Yea, their recent signing Jackson Martinez is one of those Falcao types. Porto bought him for what 7m pounds, bet he goes for 20+m in two years.

11pm No point in tuning into SSN until 10.50pm

Agreed, and it's the first time i've noticed the post written as if by a non-Spurs poster.. is the Journalist a neutral or a fan of any club in particular?

Indeed, and it's just as well there is a TV screen between you and Jim White as he spews 6 months worth of repressed climax at midnight.
