The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 31st August 2014

[Mr Pink]

The lack of news on Stambouli is certainly interesting...

But then again JJ said MS is extremely unlikely so no point getting my hopes up.

That was before we got thumped today lol

 

[NickHSpurs]

I'm sure we can convince our 'triffic old gaffer to wind down his window and take a couple of the players we don't want tomorrow.

 

[SteveH]

This. I got a few bad reps for saying this was a transition season a month or so ago. I see this as being more like Brentons first year at Liverpool. Poch is laying the groundwork and slowly adding those players he needs for his system.

It was always going to be the case once Pochettino joined. The QPR result was great but not a trend..............yet

 

[DaSpurs]

I think it's possible, but only if we see serious movement. Movement as in offers for all of Sandro, Dembele, and Paulinho.

It's entirely my guess, but it's my belief that if Poch were given the choice of swapping those three out for Stambouli and Schneiderlin based on current form and fitness, he'd do it in a heartbeat.

 

[JAYSTAR]

No ones buying paulinho I will guarantee that, where are all these buyers coming from for our players as I've only heard about interest in holtby and maybe Sandro, just can't see us shifting many tomorrow !

I'm sorry Dwayne, but this kind of negativity is just not good enough. We have 24 hours to believe anything can happen and THEN at 11pm tomorrow night, and only then will we tolerate your realism. Kindly try to refrain from blowing people out of the water until then.


That was a joke mate Btw. As you were.

24 hours and this will all be over..... well i say over but maybe there'll be some late "signings going through the night" or whatever nonsense those cretins spout on SSN.

 

[SteveH]

Today's performance may have changed Levy and Mopo's thinking!

I very much doubt it! You dont plan like that. You just react like that. We cannot afford to do a City with likes of Negredo.

Exactly, but then we won 4 on the trot against a bunch of minnows and people expected us to be challenging for 4th again.

 

[Mr Pink]

@chrissivad your Levy time banner is a thing of beauty

Have to agree.

Its awesome - adds to the excitement. Deadline day really is becoming like xmas day in my house. I even suggested to the wife about cancelling xmas...and getting the Turkey out and sticking up the tree on deadline day lol

Did you know that Mr Pink believes that every time a positive ITK message is posted an angel gets his wings.

 

[JohnnyVivas]

I'd like Benny (victim of circumstance, actually decent before farmed out to QPR), Kaboul (poor today, unimpressive this term, walking sicknote, not getting younger), Naughton (upset he wears still our shirt), Townsend (impressively found wanting today) and Holtby (simply not dangerous enough to boss PL games in the near future) to be moved on to the highest bidders... An LWF, cover RB and another CB should be priorities for me. Maybe also a striker if we see a bid for bobby, but not sure we'll get one on terms Mr Levy will swallow. Given up on Schneiderlin now, Stambouli looks alright and seems to fancy a tackle from highlight reels but I think we've actually got decent players through the middle as is... Having said that, another creative middle-man wouldn't go a miss. After today I think it's clear we need the LWF to contribute goals asap though, here's hoping to a Van Der Vaart deadline day rather than another Jenas, Rasiak, Young-Pyo Lee deadline day

Remove that video mate for your own good. Not allowed here.

Goat:

The Goat has heard that QPR could play a prominent role in tomorrow's shenanigans.

Sandro - He's reluctant to go there, if it happens it'll probably be a loan
Townsend - But other clubs are ahead of the game on that one, namely Southampton and an unnamed club.
Lennon - They are pushing hard for him, the Goat's source says he can see it happening

The Goat says this VERY reluctantly, there were also two other players that QPR are interested in but names weren't offered up*

*And that isn't a cue for twenty six thousand guesses.

 

[Tit&Ham]

Thank you goat

Good start to an exciting day!

 

[Mr Pink]

Re Goat.

and Re Townsend bit....'but other Clubs are ahead of the game on that one'...

what does that mean?

 

[felmani26]

Goat:

Knew QPR and Harry wouldn't be able resist a splurge - hopefully Fernandes is feeling very benevolent and takes a few of our players off our hands for good money.

If the players decide to leave then it does allow flexibility in who we can target and I think we could move very quickly if necessary should a deal presents itself.

 

[Scott Spur]

I'd happily drive Townsend to Southampton or said unnamed club, if that helps....

 

[Scott Spur]

They saw him today, banged their heads against a wall and said....'what the hell were we thinking?'

 

[ParkySpur]

It would be nice if QPR made their moves swiftly tomorrow, so we can clear out before we bring in

Thank you please.
