The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 6th January

[chilespurs]

The Goat said: Juan Fernandez and John Philip Sousa would lead you to the conclusion

Juan Fernandez = Robinson Crusoe = Daniel Defoe
Sousa = March
Conclusion?

We're back in for Kaka, surely.

 

[Dirty Ewok]

David Pleat: Peter Parcheesi.

Probably more like

David Pleat: Steven Adams (with the entire audience confused who the hell he was talking about)

I'm of the opinion that Levy over the years has often done business with agents/agencies repeatedly.
We shouldn't underestimate the role of agents in modern transfers; 'you should look at player X i'm representing.' and so on.

So I though that I'd do a bit of research.

Hugo Lloris' & Etienne Capoue's agency is massive, they've got Messi to start. Anyway they also represent Bruno Uvini (who loaned/trialled here for 3 months in 2012), Chicarito (who we're always linked with), Andreas Cornelius & Gary Hooper (got ITKed in the summer before other moves). They clearly like getting their players names out there.

And lo and behold, given Ryantegan mentioned him earlier, they represent Piotr Parzyszek.

Pretty sure Benfica did actually buy him...

They didn't.

I'm hoping for Davy Klaassen!

 

[felmani26]

Never heard of this Polish kid before so any info (TheAmerican/Snarf) would be greatly appreciated

 

[Gedson100]

It's not just them.

Vertonghen shares an agency with legendary non-signing Leandro Damaio.
And Kyle Walker, Jake Livermore, Sebastian Bassong, Jamie O'Hara, Iago Falque.

And... er... Shane Long ! (And Adam Maher & Alvaro Morata )

 

[Gedson100]

It goes on:

Lamela and Assou Ekotto (?!)
Villas Boas & Dembele (!?)
Lennon, Huddlestone, Naughton, & loads of other ex players
Sigurdsson, Caulker Bale et al

As a contrast Levy also seems to deal with a lot of players who are either the sole or one of very few who are represented by an agent. [Easier to deal with/ offer incentives etc?] Defoe, Eriksen, Lamela, Chadli, Holtby are all the stars of their agency and in the case of Kaboul and Dawson, they are their only clients.

Rose, Townsend & Fryers have no agency listed.

Play along at home! http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/tottenham-hotspur/startseite/verein_148.html

David Pleat will be livid if we sign him, even I'd be a little miffed.... Par-zy-szek? I don't know.


All jokes aside great post Jar, know nothing about the kid but he's smashing them in in the second Dutch division, not sure if that's around league one standard.

 

[Parkie]

Can you imagine Sherwood trying to pronounce that?

It's pronounced "Piotr Parzyszek".
Glad to help.

Probably half the Eredivisie's League One standard.

Couldn't someone just make a list of every U-21 striker in the Eredivisie? Seems we've made a pretty good start as it is.

Passing the buck, or delegating? Perhaps you could do it?

 

[Gedson100]

A & C has 'winnered' my elaborate Piotr Parzyszek post, plus Ryantegan said him.

I think our search is over.

I look forward to us not signing him by 2017.

19 FW Jody Lukoki

I so hope it's this boy. Who else comes with a ready made chant and goal celebration.

Oh, Jody Lukoki
Oh, Jody Lukoki
Oh, Jody Lukoki,
Knees bent, Arms stretch, ra ra ra

I'd be too tempted to make names up, just like in the days when we tried to get imaginary players on Football Rumours. 'Swedish starlet Bengt Persson will sign for Arsenal today!"

Pretty interesting. I don't know much about him. Makes him all the more intriguing (for me at least).

~no videos in here please~

Have to be done

A mighty load of tap ins, for a compilation it's not exactly inspiring excitement.

It was made half a year ago however. A player at that age could improve greatly, with regular first team football, in that amount of time.
