The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 3rd August 2019

[GetSpurredOn]

Trying to read into the past/present tense of the wording there.
“Fee agreed in principle for the third time and again they want to change the structure”, note the term ‘want’ not did or have.
Is this saying we have gone back in again now?

 

[ValenciaYid]

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.

In fairness you are not going to know that youre being messed about till the third time really....you defo wont see it the first time goal posts were moved, second time you start to think, third time your fears are starting to be confirmed....

 

[the yid]

They've shot themselves in foot then. Move on to Fernandes and Dybala

 

[FibreOpticJesus]

Wtf are they doing?

But you're exactly right. If they were pissing us about we should have walked away weeks ago. Pity there's no time for a plan B now, this is why leaving it late makes no sense.

This is what probably pissed Poch off...amongst other things?

 

[Primativ]

The thing is, the players wants to leave so surely they have to sell....doesn't make sense for Betis to play silly buggers.

I think you reading way to much into one word

 

[Japhet]

He hasn't got long left to wait, we should just move onto other targets instead of risking being left short again

Probably why we're apparently moving quickly on Fernandes. I'd love both, prefer LoCelso but also be pretty pleased with Fernandes. We could then scupper Eriksen leaving and try again for GLC in January.

 

[eddiev14]

Obviously Lo Celso is Poch’s main target after Tanguy. We’d not still be in for him if he wasn’t deemed fundamental by the boss.

I think we’ll sign the guy but will have to put up with Betis playing silly buggers until Thursday.

thanks. this is now on the player. if he wants to come it is time to pull a Bale. if not, we move on.
And to be clear i don't usually condone that for contracted players but the club is seemingly acting in bad faith.

You're reading WAY too much into this stuff

I reckon we should only be caught out one time.

Fool me once and all that.

hard because we want the boss to be backed and if GLC is his top target, Levy has to do all he can to get it done.
Good thing is Levy will surely be briefing Poch in detail so he will know that the issue is with RB and that Levy is doing all he can.

Hate to condone it, but it's time for LoCelso to pull a Berbatov/Modric/Bale type strop.

I wouldn't hate to condone it if it turns out there was an agreement and that was not met. A man's word is his bond. You break your word, the original agreement is off. The rules have changed. And that assumes there was an agreement which we obviously don't know but suspect given all the ITK.

Unbelievable. There's four days left, I hope we've got a plan B.

We do. B is for Bruno. Bruno Fernandez. ?

As for this Lo Celso faffing... kinda hard to see this getting done now. Very frustrating.

Replacing Dembele (late) with Ndombele and Eriksen with GLC (both newcomers to the EPL and hence risks) doesn’t move us forward from where we were - it would be £100m to stay current. Now if we want to push on, we’d need BF as well!

Id also be happy if lo selso turns to complete shit, and is worthless in 12 months, just like fekir. I'd definitely prefer him throwing a tantrum though, and him not turning to shit.

I think we're trying. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Not going to happen.

The conformation of Betis fucking us around is obviously why we’ve moved for Fernandes. Either push hard to sign Fernandes or get Betis to come back to us.

No way we’re signing both imo.
