The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 8th August

[mil1lion]

It only makes sense to sell Dembele if we have another foreign signing coming in (and a bloody good one at that).

I actually wouldn't mind if he goes to Fulham and we keep them sweet for when we come in for Sessegnon next summer. It will be tough to see him in opposition colours though.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Few folk elsewhere claiming it could be City in for Moose.

Would find that very strange. Although would make more sense about why he would be willing to go. He'd only be bit part there surely.

I'd hate it if he went there. Seeing another long term team mate leave and win things is not ideal unless we start picking up pots too.

 

[RobjDerby]

If this is City then people will go mad.

 

[Ghost Hardware]

The scenes in here if we sell Toby to Utd and Dembele to City and only bring in Berge and Grealish.

No wonder we are leaving the sale of Sissoko till the last day.

Meaning he wouldn’t push for a move to a Prem club... but if Spurs tell him we’re not offering a new contract and have accepted a bid from City (example). You think he wouldn’t consider?

Absolutely. This kind of loyality does not really exist anymore (99%) and no one can fault Dembele. His last chance to grab big money out of this business as a player. And for players its just that....business

Who: The Goat
When: 8th of August

We’ve accepted a bid from a Premier League club for Dembele.

Wow wasn't expecting that :-(

 

[SdB]

Dembele said himself he would not consider an offer from another PL club. No better ITK than that.

No other acceptable offers can change that quite quickly.

 

[Clamour_Kid]

If it is City, then even better. Non HG sold and for good money. Let's get this transfer train moving! Even though there's only 31 hours left.

 

[belsunz]

I know I probably shouldn't do it to myself, but that Dembele ITK (gutted to see him go though) sort of raises my expectations regarding an incoming CM.

Agreed, if we sell Dembele to City we better be bringing in a quality CM in.

 

[Spurs_Bear]

It'll be City 100%. Pep loves the Mousse.

 

[Cinemattis]

Hmmm... what if the guys at Manure found it impossible to spell "Tobias Albertine Maurits Alderweireld", stroke out the attempts on his name and wrote "Dembele" and offered us 60mill?

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

This would be the last season in which we could demand a decent for Dembele, and it has become evident that he probably can't cope for a whole season, week in week out, in a Pochettino styled team. So logically it makes sense to sell now.

But it only continues being logical if we have someone of an equal ability (at least) ready to come in by the end of tomorrow.

 

[GetSpurredOn]

Hasn't it been stated multiple times by Herc, Trix etc, that a bid going in is one of the last things to happen, most of the work has been done by then, all the behind the scenes talks with agents, players etc, after permission is sought from the club obviously. Once all the pieces are in place, the bid goes in. So on that assumption, Dembele must be fairly open to it.

 

[samspurs92]

Stop guessing the team ffs, how do people not understand the rules after all the locks and rants from the mods?

 

[Charlie.W]

Anyway, we should probably stop guessing the what team etc, a lot can happen or change but the last thing we want is this thread to be locked

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Does it not please you to have your chairman compared to a strong, sinewy and heroic figure with long lustrous hair?

Yes, yes it does

 

[Zaoppy]

And it makes sense. They need rotation for Fernandinho. While he's no a typical DM, under Guardiola he'd fit the role really well. The only issue is the fact they should be looking for someone younger

I was told 2 in & 2 out. One was Grealish in (today), the medical that was planned. I quietly confident we will do 2 deals, as per Trix’s information. Just to add to that. We really are serious about Martial, and will hold our main funds for that, and this window.

If we cannot do that deal, we will not waste it on same area, lesser player. In the last 48 hours, some very good names in desperation being put to us. But! Also to our rivals. Some we were interested before, but they through their agents, was hedging their bets. Today’s work is about finding out if we will be wasting our time, our selling clubs playing games on price and structure.

If this is the case, we will hold out on just the 2 players. Poch berry happy with that.
