The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 31st August 2015 THE CLOCK IS TICKING!

[Gb160]

Massively agree. There's no benefit at all if we are after top players. That's why I think our business is done this window. We've broken even on sales, maybe a few loans out, can't sell Lamela. That's it chaps

End of?

 

[DCSPUR]

Hugo will not be sold. Everyone at the club knows how important he is to us. Even if DDG was sold a month ago, Hugo wouldn't be going anywhere. He wants to win trophies and play champions league, yes. But he want's to do that with Spurs, and Spurs only. He's the most passionate player at the club, and he loves playing for us, even if he does have dodgy Walker in front of him making things hard.

hoping, really hoping, you are right!!!

 

[the lad]

Irrespective of how this all pans out. I still fail to see the benefits of waiting so late.

From a business point of view it seems flawed. From a footballing point of view its actually negligent

Totally agree.Especially when for the first window ever we got the deadwood shifted in plenty of time to get who we wanted one. At this stage of the window you have to be offering exactly what the selling club wants of more than they expect not 25 to 50 percent less as is Levy style !

If Hugo wants to go then let him go, he deserves to be playing at a major club and providing United stump up £40 million, take the money and sign Berahino and Wanyama.

Definitely not in need of prozac..

It shouldn't be mixed with acid

There are a handful of goalkeepers who I would consider world class and we have one of them. Would be disgusted and devastated if we were to lose Hugo at this stage even if it meant we brought it in a couple more players.

 

[Gb160]

We've entered the panic phase of deadline day meltdown.

The impressive part being its not even deadline day.

 

[monkeynick]

I genuinely enjoy and appreciate the info from those ITK.

The fawning over every stroke of JJ's keyboard however is a little sickening.

I'm pretty sure he isn't a god and twice as sure that he doesn't want some of you lot snuffling around his nut bag

Last 24h now!

Last 24h now!

Lloris was supposedly a surprise 'gift' from Lewis,
(where 'gift' probably means more like a loan.)
If Lewis feels the time is right to cash in, then he will, and that is that really.

Well it's not "that is that" is it because you don't actually know do you. If you want to have a bit of a negative outlook on a situation fine, but it always annoys me when the posters who do think like this have to post it as if it's fact.

 

[Trix]

Beginning to worry now

Nothing to worry about regarding Hugo, but for other reasons than have already been posted.

 

[Ionman34]

And further to post 370, in response to whoever it was asking if i'd join the BSoDL, if we DO sign Berahino and Witsel then yeah, the blood tests will be in the post, i'll go bald, somehow reduce my height by about 4ft and learn how to imitate Levy's voice, which I imagine to be somewhere between Joe Pasquale and Julian Clary.

It's more like a cross between Barry White and Hagrid...


Deep lungs.

 

[Doctor Dinkey]

I would not put it past levy at all to sell Hugo if the price was right and I've always thought this would be a likely deadline day event. This close though, not sure now and hoping we will hang onto him as vorm is not good. Sure to happen in the next couple of windows though.

It's a fact they're negative in their outlook

 

[RJ1882]

I fully expect us to sell Lloris and sign Austin at best. The fact that we have again left it so late in the window and are well into a poor start to the season and have only one Centre Forward in the squad and a Centre Back starting at centre mid despite having a fully fit squad, shows that Levy has already failed...again. Even if we manage to sign a few worldies at the death, by the time they are up to speed the season will already be half gone. We keep being told lessons have been learned, clearly they haven't, Axel Witsel and Pato are both average players and if that is the best out new super scouting system can come up with I am frankly astounded. Pathetic management from top to bottom a manager playing boring football, a team with no creativity. He is having one hand tied behind his back with transfers. If we could't sign another striker, we should have kept Soldado rather than sell him for a nominal fee. Really don't know what to make of all this.

I've rated this friendly for no other reason than you are now just a 'like' away from a full house. Good luck!

 

[mil1lion]

Surprised by the sudden mention of Lloris. We're not going to sell him on the final day without time to replace him, I don't need to read the ITK thread to know that.

A late striker signing if Berahino doesn't come off could be just about anything from good to bad. You never know what will come up in the countdown. I very much doubt a VDV like signing will be available tomorrow though.

If Hugo wants to go then let him go, he deserves to be playing at a major club and providing United stump up £40 million, take the money and sign Berahino and Wanyama.

Not sure either would make good keepers to be honest

If I hadn't seen you posting on here for a while I would struggle to believe you weren't a complete WUM. Hugo does deserve to be at a top club, but if we let him go to sign Berahino and Wanyame it would be the most ridiculous thing ever. Going into a season with Vorm and a Youth Keeper would be absolute suicide. The logic you've displayed is one of the reasons we no longer have a team challenging top 4. That mentality saw us swap Bale for Paolinho, Chiriches, Lamela etc... Never in our history has that method worked well.

Carrick> Zokora
Berbatov > Frazier Campbell and Pav
Keane > See above
Modric> Dembele
Bale> Lamela
Lloris> Vorm

Says it all

No SB , NO WITSEL RIGHT ?
