The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 30th June 2022

The most important thing about a mass influx like this is to get them in before preseason training starts.
We even seem to have succeeded in doing that too.

Agreed. Albeit the core of the team is likely to be pretty similar, which will help integration

I think that was Conte's plan from the off to be fair.

Absolutely. That possible 4/5 In on top of Richarlison sounds great, but if they struggle to mould into the team, it could cause problems. Best to get them in early and allow them to gel.

Lurking in the shadows ?

Some would say, he’s ‘what lies beneath’?

 

[EQP]

Very very exciting times ahead ?

It was ALWAYS the plan to invest this summer.

Would honestly not be surprised to see another 4/5 on top of Richarlison.

With the amount of youth players that were released from the academy last month, I imagine/ I hope we'll see some more youth signings as well.

I’ll be honest, my head is totally spinning. Have been out all day and am just home and reading all of these updates and I seriously cannot compute. It feels like I’m in an alternative universe.
Also, I want to say, ‘Hats off, Levy.’

 

[Majick]

Good job we've got an NFL changing room we can move into.

Even just assuming Lenglet and Richarlison both join, we have a lot of players to move on - many more signings and the exit door at Hotspur Way is going to be banging off its hinges all August.

We thought we did well last summer moving on Sissoko, Lamela, Alderweireld, Foyth and Hart, but there's going to have to some very, very sharp moves to get out everyone. Fortunately all the rumours seem positive about outgoings as well as incomings.

Based on what Rob and the other ITKs were saying earlier in the thread I'm taking this as positive news.

 

[gibbospurs]

All sounding brilliant! stuck a bit in the coffers. COYS!!

In my opinion that would be too many for squad dynamics.

If this transpires I would expect Conte to extend his contract to reciprocate the commitment that the club have shown him.

Good thing he has confirmed the here we go, an unconfirmed here we go would have me worried...

Also is he implying his here we go is not trustworthy?!

 

[ExpatFan]

JJ probably knows where Lord Lucan is.

Unmarked grave in Switzerland, allegedly.

 

[CantSmileWithoutYou]

JJ or Lord Lucan?

 

[$hoguN]

Right lads, we have a shit ton of interesting ITK today. We appear to be on the verge of signing Richarlson, closing on Spence, and Lenglet’s loan looks like it’s a matter of time too. So can we stop with talk of JJ and the daft jokes.

there is plenty of actual ITK to discuss ffs

 

[Trent Crimm]

We are getting really spoiled this summer.

Like an ambassador drinks night with Ferrro Rocher ?

 

[Nerine]

Ooh, ITK ITK

Yo, Dawg….

Also because of World Cup am
I right in thinking that they are compressing more fixtures into a shorter time period at the start of the season than normal?

If that’s the case then teams that are well prepared and ready to hit the ground running are likely to have the more successful season I think. There are normally weird results at the start of a campaign and with games coming thick and fast it’s important to ready to go .

I believe after the first four weeks it's pretty much two matches a week for those in Europe between September and the WC.
