The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 9th June 2019

[robin09]

ITK says N'Dom, Clarke and Sess bros. That's got to be the best part of 100m spend.

I don't see how we'd also sign Lo Celso, or anyone else, without first needing to sell someone, like Eriksen. A shame, but it's understandable given the outlay it looks like we're about to have.

'Cooling off' on LoCelso could well be a ploy to get them to reconsider their asking price. Fingers crossed.

Love love loving this summer

If we can get Ndombele, Clarke and Sessegnon done before preseason, that would be incredible work by Levy and his team.

Have to say I’m not as excited about Sess as I was a year ago. Not just because he made no impact last season either. I’m just not sure where he fits in?

He seemed a good fit on the left if we continued with 3 at the back, but I really don’t like it when we set up that way.

And I got about 6000 optimistic ratings when I said Levy and co would deliver this summer. Feels good to be proven right even though the doubters had 100% reason to think negatively.

Thanks all! Possibly the most positive morning of ITK ever?!

Hope Ndombele is very close albeit JJ has tempered my expectations a little.

Zaha wouldn’t surprise me but imagine that will require Eriksen and Lamela to leave?

Bale, would be unbelievable!

I think he's a great player to add to the squad. We need to keep picking up players with potential as our squad is starting to age. I think the long term aim is to make him a top attacking LB but he can also be a squad option in wide areas early on. He has pace and good movement so would suit us, and should improve with better team mates.

Yeah I’m not totally against signing him. I’m just not that fussed either way and hope it doesn’t stop us pursuing other signings in what I consider greater areas of need.

I think Ndombele medical tomorrow is unlikely if JJ is saying no fee yet agreed (ie that Sky Sports have jumped the gun)

That’s balls on the table stuff, I can’t remember what his track record is but I choose to believe this news.

Yeah I totally see that too. I remember in the past there was talk of money being set aside for development/prospects. I wonder if Sessegnon and Clarke fall into that territory. In which case it might not be as simple as saying 'leave those deals and use the money on Lo Celso instead'.

where has JJ said this?

I don't think we'll be able to use any RB money either as that will be pumped into a direct replacement by the sounds of it

 

[DONOS10]

where has JJ said this?

On his Twitter account, saying SSN have jumped the gun

 

[Lilbaz]

where has JJ said this?

He hasn't, just said that sky are premature in saying the deal is done.
We may have agreed the price but waiting on the medical or how it will be paid etc...
