The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 9th July 2015

[mikeeegreen]

Personally I'd like to see a back up striker to Kane (also to provide competition for our golden boy in case the inevitable happens and he has a rough patch) a wing forward who could also be used as an out and out striker if needs be, making him the third choice striker (although I think Chadli could also do a job up top when needs be too). Finally a DM to partner Nabil that will fit perfectly and offer balance to the side. Job done.

 

[SamR]

He would have no interest in coming here and sitting on the bench

Plus he would not gel with Kane no way, we need a striker that can work with Kane, Austin is a throwback to the 80s

Who could we attract though that's real competition to Kane and happy to sit on bench? I guess a WF who can play through the middle but i think we need both - Replace Ade, Lennon and Townsend with a CF and WF.

I've always liked Benteke but again he won't want to be second fiddle and I prefer Kane through the middle.

3 names I'd consider are Timo Werner, Paul-Georges Ntep and Wissam Ben Yedder. I have no idea if we are in for any of them though.

I'll be dissapointed if we don't bring in any experienced players. Still think Palace have pulled off a massive coup in signing Cabaye.

Also, I think it would be a mistake only buying forward players with raw potential. Fine for a third striker, but I want our alternative/competition to Kane to be someone ready now, not in a year/2 years time.

We are desperate for someone with real pace, someone with potential or experienced. We have to offer an alternative or an addition to work alongside Kane.

 

[Gaz_Gammon]

Donated, not much but I hope it helps.

Is that you George?

 

[Sweech]

So I added up my pledges. $10 each for Trippier, Wimmier, and Alderweireld plus $5 each for selling Paulinho and Capoue.

Converting $40 Canadian to Sterling...carry the four...lemme grab my calculator...hm...it seems it comes out tooooo

Sweet fuck all. Or otherwise known as
£20.51

 

[Sweech]

Actually my conversion messed up and I payed $41.70, this better buy a lot of cabbages.

 

[DiamondLites]

£10 thrown in to the wishing well. If I don't wake up tomorrow as Yanet Garcia's g-string, OFCOM will be getting a sternly worded email

Agree. We are desperately short of pace in all areas of our attack, unless you count Townsend, who I don't consider good enough anyway.

I'm all for pressing the opposition in their half, but you need to be able to counter attack effectively and we haven't done that in a long time.

ASide from some really awesome donations coming through for the greater cause type posts, this is surprisingly quiet in here considering yesterday will go down as a history defining day for Spurs.
ITKs need to get back on the ball and qualify why Mr Levy was open to answering positively about any further forthcoming transfers in.

 

[TaoistMonkey]

getting Charlie Austin would make my day.

My 5 year old son is called Austin and he thinks it's the best thing every hearing his name when the football is on. Now if he was playing for us I would be less at risk at him supporting another team.

So yeah...this needs to happen for my son's future loyalty.

I'd like us to sign Austin, think he'd be a quality signing, can score all types of goals.

also I hope your son was name after Stone Cold..!

Agree on pace. All 3 players I mentioned above are very quick, pacey players. I think Timo Werner would be an excellent buy personally. His game is very similar to J-Rod from what I've seen.

You could always rename your son, it's never too late. I personally think Alcácer TaoistMonkey and Werner TaoistMonkey have a nice ring to them.

I'm a lurker & I don't post often but, after yesterday. I just had to donate to this awesome site.. £15 on its way

 

[rawhide]

Cabbage = Cole Crop

Big Cabbage = Carlton Cole?

Little Cabbage = Joe Cole?

Good job I just chucked in a few quid...

Don't. Even. Fucking. Joke.

 

[yankspurs]

What the hell is this Charlie Austin thing now? Has there been ITK on him or did we go off the rails again?

I dont want him and neither do my children Ibrahimovich, Bale and Messi

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

Good stuff from grey fox!

I dont like the MS situation, his heart is for united, if he joins he will always be looking to go at the first chance, not a player to build a team with.
