The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 7th July

[Hoopspur]

Not quite sure how to read it! Not commenting because it's bull or because it's true

How about right down the middle, maybe hasn't heard anything or he doesn't know?

So many questions....

 

[Lilbaz]

Jj would poo poo it if it wasn't true

Think jj is pissed off with being bombarded everytime there is itk.

 

[widmerpool]

The original JJetset‏@jetsetyid To answer all the DM's in 1 go ffs I'm not the

Hieroglyphics? What next, ITK tweeted in cuneiform?

He said he was going to stop doing that.

 

[justinj]

Tbh look at Chelsea, I bet Conte is pissed off he isn't getting Lukaku.
It happens in all clubs, not sure there isn't a manager/chairman across the country who don't have issues.
Levy knows that Poch is the main part of the jigsaw, of that I'm sure.

He dismisse media rumours iirc, nothing more.

I mean just look at last yr transfer when we spent 30m on Sissoko instead of Batshit.... we might had won the league. Just saying.

If Levy continues without adapting the new reality, we are not going to see a promising start with the new stadium. ENIC could clearly get new investors in if they want to..... I still don't understand why they keep it so tight.

 

[DiscoD1882]

Can we get The Goat effect. trending on twitter?

 

[Deleted member 27995]

I want to see if any of the redtops or the broadsheets pick up on the Goat and quote him directly, anything after that will be gravy.

 

[dagraham]

He didnt spunk anywhere near £30m on Sissoko. Its a structured payment, of which has probably cost below £10m so far

Oh fuck me not this again.

 

[Spurrific]

Willian definitely can't be blamed on Levy. A deal was agreed and he decided to fuck off to Chelsea instead, he was about to have a medical so not sure how we can blame Levy for the little shite's decision to stab us in the back.

 

[Lilbaz]

Think levy's transfer tactics seem to be.
- enquire about player.
- get given a price.
- if he thinks it's a bargain sign them up. If he thinks it's steep say ok i'll get back to you.
- waits for other clubs to spend their money. If player is still available go back and make a counter offer.
- if agreed then comes up with a unique payment method.

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Can understand a manager being frustrated. Also understand that levy is doing what he thinks is best for the club.

What i do know is that by the end of the transfer window we will have signed someone. Whether or not it's poch's first choice is debatable. But after the last couple of transfer windows it will be someone poch wants or he wont give them the time of day. We will probably try to sign a young wildcard that may or may not work out but will be little risk (we could get most of our money back).

Also if I'm not mistaken we matched West Broms asking price for Berahino

Did you read ANY of what The Goat posted? Of course a deal was agreed. Then last minute-itus stepped in. Fuck my old boots, some people are so far into the great Egyptian river they'd need the cast of Baywatch to pull them out

 

[felmani26]

Sounds like a person with an axe to grind against Levy than a matter of fact considering the lack of corroborative ITK backing this up from the perceived 'big hitters'.

I don't think it was Willian's decision it was an oligarch stitch up after Abramovich called his fellow oligarch and told him not to sell to us.

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

All I can do is laugh. I for one am not going to distrust the goat only because of this or that. All highly plausible and utterly exasperating.

 

[kremlyn]

The goat sounds a bit like Harry Hotspur today.

 

[Kaboul'sForehead]

Poch is going to leave sooner or later, that's what managers do. Why is that so shocking to everyone?

 

[KirstyG]

Sigh...just when we think things are rosy, they turn out to be not quite that.

For me, the goat's itk seems very believable. For fans, we love watching the new stadium coming together etc but for players, they want to see silverware in their homes (tbf we want to celebrate silverware too). Poch will be the same. Yes he wants to build something but he won't be prepared to wait forever as there are no guarantees in this life. I'm not entirely anti-Levy as I know someone who knows him and says he is indeed passionate about the club even if he doesn't always show it. Levy has done some great things but that is certainly not to say that in some instances progress and success on the pitch has been put behind profit.

Let's hope that things and be turned around, promises made are not broken and perhaps our owners will realise that they may have to put some pressure on Levy in order to secure long term financial success.
