The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 3rd August 2019

Not bothered by Eriksen potentially going Utd. Not sure how he'd survive if he thinks Spurs doesn't have the quality, then he realises United's team. So personally I think he would be shit if he went there, at least until they properly fix up as a club. So as long we get GLC and BF I couldn't care less if Eriksen goes Utd.

I'd prefer he didn't but I agree if that's the option I'm ok with it and at least we won't have to face him in the CL.
There does seem to be a fair bit of activity today which is extremely rare for a Sunday so definitely stuff happening.

Well, I mean, we've got a deadline in 4 days, if we're still taking weekends off, I wouldn't know anymore.

So if I understand correctly the latest ITK suggests...

1) Eriksen now won’t sign the verbally agreed deal, so we have no choice but to sell, but Madrid aren’t following up their earlier rumblings so Levy is pushing him north to Utd who will pay

2) We now want/need 2 of Fernandes, Lo Celso and Dybala

3) Goat expects Sessegnon and Onamh to Fulham to now happen

4) With us looking for buyers for Wanyama, Nkoudou, maybe Rose depending on 3) and I’d assume CCV (not sure if that’s been mentioned though)

... by Thursday

Some of the guys u listed for sale can be sold after Thursday as they may go to overseas clubs

Hive mind: how many players have run down their contracts and left for free under Levy's stewardship?

Campbell only although he inherited that issue from Sugar.

However optimistic the ITK seems, my feeling is we will get one of GLC and BF with RS coming late in the day and CE going up to Utd.

At the start of the window, Most of us would have been happy with getting TN, GLC/BF and RS with only CE of our main players going out. Keeping Toby and Danny is a big bonus and means we’ve not have to had to recruit where we’d thought we would.

Yeah I definitely feel like it’s either/or instead of both/and with Lo Celso and Fernandes. We’re running out of time.

I definitely wouldn't have been happy with losing one of our best players to a rival and only strengthening one area at the start of the window, and I won't be too pleased if that's how it ends up.

I think we'd be fine but we do need both of GLC/BF to come in should CE go. If not I don't expect any title challenge or being able to be consistent on all fronts.

We need to be able to go into any game with a starting 11 that has minimum holes in it. I think not having two AM of quality like BF/GLC means we won't be able to have the rotation and variables that City have

I'd agree, we knew we would lose Eriksen. Either he signs or we get rid to whoever we can make money to buy a replacement from.

We are and we aren't, only 4 days left, but a deal CAN be done in hours, it's all the posturing and dick measuring that takes months, when it comes to the crunch it's not that difficult to agree on a fee and get it done when everyone realises that time is of the essence.

Or we need peak Alli back

ITK has got me weirdly calm and confident. It does feel like there’s a log jam so it adds up - needs a catalyst

If Eriksen goes to Man Utd I'll lose all respect for him. It's not his 'dream move' to Spain. Utd are a shambles right now, regardless of how big they are and how much they pay. Dropping down to Europa and playing for smeagle.

I don’t think any of us would have been happy seeing Levy sell one of our best players to Man United!!

Here's the thing about Eriksen. I love him as a player. His name is on my kit, for God's sake, But...

It seems to be that we've bent over backwards to try to accomodate his wishes. We are trying to get him to Real which is where he really wants to go (obviously) but they're lukewarm on the idea. We are doing EVERYTHING we can to make him happy...its time for him to return the favor. Im not saying he has to just accept a transfer anywhere, but he needs to read the writing on the wall and stop holding the team over a barrel.

Just got this.....


We should have walked away from the Lo Celso deal weeks ago. Fee agreed in principle for the third time and again they want to change the structure. Everything else has been agreed for over a month.

Agree, all the talk of just wanting the one move to Spain and Madrid or Barcelona, then him messing us about with a new contract and now going to United, ok maybe his getting pushed a little for Levy but I think we should get rid for what we can get for him.

That's depressing. Levy has his work cut out for him during these next few days.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

Oh dear, very worrying to say the least, especially given how little time left there is in the window, looks like all our eggs are in the bruno basket now & thats not even taking eriksen's situation into consideration, massive few days coming up for levy, he has to deliver, set backs are bound to happen but he has known for the whole whole summer that he has to deliver for poch

I'll cling onto the word 'should' and hope this means it's still got a chance.

Disheartening to say the least.
