The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 29 August 2011

I think it's time that all those holier than thow posters who use the moral high ground saying that theyre happy we are a sensibly run club, living within our means and would never be happy with foriegn billionaires running our club take stock.

We and dare I say Arsenal are well run clubs sitting at the bottom of the EPL having been thrashed by to incredibly in debt clubs sitting at the top of the league.

If were talking my family finances I agree with you, but when were talking about my club. I want to be up there at the top table.

 

[Twizzle]

Bellamy

 

[Snuzzy]

BELLAMY?!

ok disregard rest of that post.

how are so many people forgetting that he was most recently a Championship player and didn't look like he didn't belong there?

This is so ridiculously naive it's ridiculous.

You're aware we're about to sign a Championship player and quite a few of our players were bought from the Championship?

Just checking.

We're above Leeds :shrug:

Unless we sit around and wait for our lump of oil money then running the club in a responsible manner is the only option when it comes to doing the best for my club.

D day tomorrow on what we do with signings and Harry is absolutely off his head about the lack of transfer activity both ways.
Once you know or undertsand how the club runs' I for one cant blame him at all as he is not allowed to do the deals. His plan for the future direction of the team has been completely undermined by the chairmans lack of dealings.
Yes he gets called a wheeler dealer and he has sent his previous club bankrupt but by not being active to date in the window it has cost us big time on many fronts.
That was my last comment before i say too much (if i havent already)!!


So Redknapp takes no blame for saddling us with 60+ million pounds worth of footballer that Levy should "give away" ?

Crouch and Wilson apart how many of the players we all think dont cut it are down to Harry. Crouch for cant help being slow and imobile, but still helped get us out of relegation and up to 4th as did Wilson. They both did the job Harry bought them for but are now surplus as we need better to kick on, but thet did their job and did it well.

Can anyone really blame Harry for Bentley, Hutton, Gio, JJ and Pav [althoughthe last 2 have made a contribution whenever they are in the mood, just not often enough].

- Scott Parker was a Premiership player most recently

- They were bought young to improve, not at 32 with their best days behind them and their max level well established

Fair enough but we turned down Abramovic.

 

[mill]

Think I'd keep Gio over Lennon, can't any less productive

 

[Sputic]

For the record, JJ isn't pro/anti Levy or Harry.

I didn't say he was, I just question whether his source is.

 

[Nathan_McCoy]

who's JJset, then? seems to know a lot of stuff.

 

[Teegart]

Just checking.

You're aware Parker was voted player of the year in the Premiership last season, while Bellamy was only average in the Championship?

Just checking.

Another day on the ITK rollercoaster. Today looks like being a down day.

 

[moomin]

what team was he playing against, and in what competition?

the wales australia friendly. yeah yeah it was a friendly but it was recent. he didnt score but he made some good runs

 

[Nathan_McCoy]

is it gonna be worth even turning SSN on on wednesday? Should we all just go live in a cave for a few days, come back Thursday and see that it's business as usual and our club hasn't bought any players?

Harry's right when he says the place needs freshening up a bit, besides Sandro and VdV, we've had the same squad for 3-4 years really. We're like Everton.

Should have signed Barton, I think we should have signed Stephen Ireland too when he was on his way out of City. Bellamy will do ok, but come on...is that all we've got?

 

[Nathan_McCoy]

We are a well run club, but nobody wants an open top bus parade down Tottenham High Road, where the players can proudly show off our Financial End-of-Year Results

 

[Mr Pink]

I didn't say he was, I just question whether his source is.

go ahead and question :wink:
