The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 2nd August 2016

So there was no fee problem with Levy and Norwich.... This would have been agreed days ago

Levy was more than likely playing hardball with how it was paid, rather than the amount.

 

[millsey]

..:and Mason....

Funny how we all want these new youth players to play, yet the likes of Mason and Carroll people can't wait to get rid of. In short, doesn't matter if you are from the youth teams, just matters that you are a damn good player

Not necessarily - Brighton sources reckon Norwich ended up paying a lot more than they had agreed

They don't have vowels at the end of their names, so can't therefore be cool enough.

Masonnotgoodenoughio and Carrolloutofhisdepthio. There fixed, they can still leave.

Kind of disrespectful to 2 of 'our own' current players, both of who would come in and do a decent job when needed. The qualities of these guys has been done to death in the various threads. They are though Spurs through and through.

Maybe just trying to make the Brighton fans feel better.

Totally irrelevant. There is no room for sentiment if you want to win things.

Good for them but it doesn't change the fact that they're not good enough and ITK's have lead us to believe that they're for sale.

Obviously we have a difference of opinion in the qualities of the players which is what I was primarily talking about and not based upon pure sentiment. I don't consider either to be first team players all the time, but if you did read my post I said 'decent job' if and when needed. I don't though want to further this any more in this thread so won't pursue it.

TEESSIDE1 - I honestly don't recall any ITK about Mason - was there any? and have probably missed the TC stuff.

Edit - ah yes, the Bournemouth Mason ITK from May. Forgot that.

Agreed. In short, looking over recent development for several academy player, no SC user truly knows which youth player will make it to the starting 11 before the player is there, playing week in week out.

Yep, it said Carroll, Mason and Chadli are all available if an acceptable offer comes.

There are very recent itk from JJset and Trix that mason is for sale. Only mason's auntie think otherwise.
Saying they are not good enough is not disrespectful, it is simply stating a fact or opinion.

 

[Stoof]

Zero mentions of Silva.

Not sure why that's being discussed here ...

Oh this works both ways. It works both ways. When a star player wants to leave, then the same supporters brand them traitors/judas etc. They too want to win things. No room for sentiment in their books Ala Bale. Berbatov. Modric Campbell etc.

No ITK for nearly 2 weeks. The lock down is real!

Certainly a lot less info about, bit then we are doing far less business than usual.

 

[Speedy]

We really did. Four years ago.

Are we not allowed to reference 4 year old itk? :-D

 

[Pat Rice Spurs fan]

Sorry for being a tw@ but did we find out who the Goat was referring to as, "a player from Spain that Poch really likes"?

Putting 2+2 together and given that he worked with him at Espanyol, it could well be this Pau Lopez keeper kid that the Barcelona press have linked us with...

It was a lot more entertaining when we left our business until late, and all the rumours were flying, but I think getting Wanyama and Janssen in early will work out just fine for us.
