The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 28th August 2014

[Farms14]

So the latest ITK about Daniel not being done yet is great. This is the Levy we know and occasionally love. He must of been so bored at the end of the January window when he was at home in his silk dressing gown sipping cognac in front of his fire with his Labradoodle curled up on him 2 hours before the window closed

Ali Z says that, but Storts thinks he's not coming (MS thread)

 

[RuskyM]

i really hope "daniel isn't done" means "daniel has sights on a player that will improve the team recommended from mauricio or baldini" and not "daniel spots an average player for a decent price" ala dempsey/saha/nelsen/pienaar because then we'll just have to struggle to get rid of them in two years

I'd quite like Palacio from inter, would be great at LWF and really does have incredible work rate, but thinking it might be that young striker from River.

I read that as Palacios

I can't see anything from Storts

I don't remember much of a struggle getting rid of any of these.

I think that'll be Wellbeck on 6-month loan while we wait for Rodriguez.

I think it's too late now for major business. All our energies this last month seem to have been spent on MM and MS. We'll just move on the likes of BAE, Fryers and Obika and that'll be it.

 

[RichieS]

Putting Trix' and Ali Z's updates together, it's got to be Lavezzi. I would be very happy with him if his World Cup performances were anything to go by.

 

[yankspurs]

No chance we're done. We got to ship some players out and bring in 1 or 2 more. Then if we get some moves done with time left, maybe Daniel will just get bored and bring in a Levy special at 10:59 pm.

 

[Qualsonic]

If true, that's two players signed this week who haven't even had their own thread.

I can't help thinking we've let things slip a bit this year.

Actually, I created the threads before both transfers (and the Vorm and Yedlin threads)

 

[HappySpur]

So Hertyid is saying that MoPo met Wellbeck after FC Franchise match and things seemed unlikely on that front.

I wonder if he didn't like him or Wellbeck's response was underwhelming?

 

[Jamturk]

We seem to be missing out on all our primary targets this window so we must have some proper wong burning a hole in our pocket right now.

Mustachio 17m > Fazio 8m

Schneiderlin 17m > Spag Bol 5m

34m>13m

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

And finally, to top it all off, we get Twitter.

Well played.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

For the squillionth time. NO TWITTER. I don't care who the 'source' is. There are two accounts whose Tweets we tolerate and that's it. Confirmations of signings from the Spurs OS are also tolerated. Through gritted teeth.

Twitter is a toilet inhabited by plankton.

Surely this isn't that hard to understand?

Funny part is that of the Dempsey/Saha/Nelsen/Pienaar group we didn't struggle to get rid of them...Dempsey we broke even on, Pienaar we actually made money on and Saha and Nelsen just walked at the end of the contract. Those were the easy ones to get settled for us.

Can see Welbeck saying he wants a guarantee to start and play up front and not on the wings. Otherwise he may as well stay where he is.

What above and ahead of Ade?

He can fuck the right off

He doesn't play at utd and van gaal has told him he isn't part of his plans. Why would he stay put ?

Seems harsh on plankton, who are necessary to the biosphere for their baseline part in the food chain. Haaaaarrrrrrsssshhhh!
