The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 6th May 2014

[millsey]

After continually playing behind an absolutely appalling back line, I think we have a moral obligation to let Lloris leave.

Loathe to see him go but deserves better.

Or buy some new defenders

 

[Gedson100]

Should have said "no, stay where you are." then. This is all on Conehead I'm afraid.

Yeah.
I'm concerned?

That there could be such a disconnect between Levy and Sherwood is nuts, but you read between the lines and it seems there is very much a boss/employee relationship. Sherwood resembles a downtrodden partner, with no power to bite back, who them takes out his frustrations on his underlings.

Media management at all levels is at an all time low too.

Regarding Levy, the whole manager thing repeating again makes me think of this:

One day, if you find that everyone you meet is irritating you and acting like arseholes, then maybe it's you that's the irritating arsehole.

 

[Barry Mead]

I think so. From what we've been told, the majority of the squad liked avb and enjoyed his training.

I'm not so sure, they certainly didn't play like a team that liked him and enjoyed his training. It looks to me like a team that were unhappy with AVB who then got a replacement that they were just as unhappy with, making them doubly unhappy by the frustration of a poor change and a sense of a club floundering

 

[Kiedis]

Levy will need to show balls this summer. If we refuse our best players to leave and appoint a good manager, then we can bounce back and look like a sane club again.

With the club looking like this, we will never be able to attract players as good as the ones that people speculate may be leaving.

No, DL has an obligation to sort this mess out pronto. To get a manager and players in who inspire keeping some of the best talent in world football as and when we get them.

Don't sell Lloris, have we learnt nothing from us selling Bale and Liverpool keeping Suarez?! I despair.

Daniel, sort it the feck out. I was once a BSoDL, but I am veering hard towards being a dissenter. Sad sad year for the club.

I want my tottenham back.

 

[duffster]

all being said and done though, it's not like they can just leave can they?

I believe they are under good contracts etc..

Levy appoints the right man it will all settle down.

If someone made a good enough offer Levy would sell his Mum.

Lloris will go if PSG want him.

 

[CowInAComa]

PSG v Levy.

= The first £40m keeper.

Buffon went for a little more than £42m

I agree with the sentiment, and it's about time we stuck to our guns, however of all the big names we have lost I'd imagine Lloris would be a much more manageable loss than Carrick, Berbatov, Keane (1st time), and current world superstars Modric and Bale. Most of which we still haven't replaced years on.

GKs are vital but the difference in returns between and worldy and a very solid one are probably a lot smaller than other positions.

Do love everything about Hugo and would love him to stay but if we got a cracking offer £25m+ and he really wanted to go I think he's earned it after the way he's carried himself this year.

If we really wanted to live up to your statement last year with Bale was the time to do it.

 

[Sum Monsterism]

Buffon went for a little more than £42m

not sure that's correct; wiki might say Euros but am sure his transfer was before the currency became a hard currency, iirc it was £30m or thereabouts - the new (wiki) figure might be converted to what he'd have cost at today's exchange...


but I could be wrong. It is possible.

 

[Marcus_spur]

Hugo... For once I have no hard feelings towards a player leaving, even if he hands in a transfer request. He really deserves to play with a better team than the one we can supply him. And now I choke up every time I hear that annoying imagine dragons song (Found it

Spoiler

Edit: No, I still think it was the right decision, but look at all those people who might be gone. AVB, Defoe, BAE, Bale, Lennon, Verts, Lloris, Holtby... Shit, this spiral won´t end well, will it.

[only1waddle]

I despair, if our only world class player in Lloris goes were left with much of a muchness...

 

[only1waddle]

@Marcus_spur

For the safety of your anal passage i would remove that

 

[Joeyboey]

Re Goat info

Tim and Levy barely speaking - was this not the same with Arry, AvB, etc etc

Lol

There's a common denominator in all of these equations...

The avb or the lloris bit?

Maybe but replacing him with someone like sherwood was madness. A sackable offense really.

Lying to avb about selling bale followed by appointing sherwood really is amazingly bad judgement.
