The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 31st August 2020

Jose wants a striker, we are 100% looking to get this done. King is doable, but other more preferable options are being explored.

Plenty of time left to make sure we get the biggest bang for our buck. Not all of them have to be in by the start of the season.

Whilst I appreciate we have plenty of options to explore on the striker front, we simply can not afford to let this drag till deadline day, the fixture pile up speaks for itself.

I’m pissed and I have no idea what’s going on

 

[spud]

this is honestly one of the most ridiculous statements I’ve ever read

You can't get out much then. He's no where near the position of a striker.

You're both right, depending upon your definition of 'striker'. I suggest you drop it there before you get the thread closed.

Can't believe you all missed this cryptic

Can't believe you all missed this cryptic

You mean when Trix says not all of them’ meaning could be more than 1 striker?

 

[Cinemattis]

What is meant by a 'big striker?

Big money I guess. If that is meant to refer to Woods or Ings, surely we'd prefer the risk that comes with an overseas player than blowing all of our savings on 28 year olds.

I thought most people had got this by now:

We don´t have room in our squad for yet another foreign player. The foreign player quota is full. We need players that qualify for the HG-quota, i.e. players that have been under a contract with a club within the English FA for at least three years before they turned 21. Regardless of how you interpret the different ITKs´ "one out - one in", this is definitely the case with players that are not considered HG. It´s very simple logic, really: knowing how tight Levy is when it comes to transfers - why should or would he spend money on a player that can´t be named in the squad?

How hard can it be to understand this?

Thanks to the staff and all the ITKs: you´re doing a fab job! ? I believe we´ll sort the striker option one way or the other. Be exciting to see who it turns out to be - all of the mentioned possibilities can do a job for us I think.

 

[JacoZA]

How about 5 leopards? (assuming you're paying in Randelas)

EDIT: donation incoming soon as I get paid. Love the site, love the people.

Done. 10 GBP in the swear jar... errr, donation box. Thanks for the all the effort with the site.

 

[yolo_bear]

Long time lurker. Occasional donator. £40 in the SC fund. Big thanks to Rob, A&C. All the ITK and everyone else who makes this forum a fun place to visit <3

 

[sbrustad]

Put £10 in the pot because I thought I had a running donation but wanted to chip in a bit extra for the donation run... Turns out I didn't have a subscription, so I've set up a monthly recurring one for £5 as well.

Thanks Rob and the moderator team for keeping us entertained.

 

[Peters]

£20 donated. The efforts that go into making this a great site are much appreciated!

 

[jonnyrotten]

Didn't realise Rob was having to dip into his pockets regularly to pay for a site that we all get so much from.. that's shite. Small monthly donation set up, thank you for the laughs and distraction, its like a big family on here!

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

its like a big family on here!

You're welcome. Son

This.

We can add a homegrown player and it not effect anything, as we have space in our squad to do so without the need to sell. Also, as unflattering a signing to some it may seem (King, Wilson, Woods), why would we take up a non-homegrown spot for a player that will also be 2nd choice when Kane is fit.

Players we are interested in that are (Non-Homegrown) are always going to be completed once we sell a player from our existing Non-homegrown list.

 

[GetKaned]

Wasn't sure about his age but I think we should steer clear if that's accurate.

That Chris Woods geezer is 60. Better than him I guess.

BEN: we 100% do (want to get rid of ndom)
on finding a buyer: we have one i believe

 

[Tucker]

Good news if we have a buyer, will hopefully free up funds for the players Jose wants.

Should the infrequency of Bens posts suggest he only posts when he’s certain, or that his info isn’t what it used to be? Either way, always worth paying attention given his past successes. Cheers for the whore Dov.

Thanks Dov

Glad to read that we have a buyer, but these deals are tricky so I'll celebrate when it happens.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Definitely seems like we need to accept the loss of Ndombele. The key is getting the deal done and getting a quality replacement this window. He'll probably go on to be a top player and missed opportunity but we clearly can't afford passengers on £200k a week.

Personally, I’m suspicious that is the real Ben as I was able to understand what he said on the first read .
