The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY

[Ghost Hardware]

Coentrao apparently wanted £120k a week to play for us. It's understandable why we didn't go for it.

I don't know of many LBs who were available for a reasonable price who also would've improved us sufficiently.

BAE shouldn't really have been loaned though.

If Utd are trying to loan him, surely we could have as well. If Rose gets injured we will be spread very thin.

 

[DFF]

We were obviously spending the Bale money. Rich people don't get rich or stay rich by giving out £50m interest free loans.

I would love someone to ask Joe Lewis this and film his reaction. He'd probably laugh his moobs off.

 

[sebcole]

I'm sure plenty will disagree with me but I think it's great that we've kept Adebayor, Townsend, Lennon, and Siggy. I thought all four might be sold.

Shame there isn't a disagree button.

 

[Tyler24durden]

Yeah well done for keeping the server working, top job

 

[SlunkSoma]

I think it is would pretty certain to be Ozil

Agree, also interesting that Gards said Chelsea quoted us £45m, everyone else £30-35m

Think Ozil was offered but player wouldn't entertain us.

 

[Kirito]

O.K.

Food for thought for all those "we haven't signed anyone" brigade.

2010 Team (MOST appearances)

Gomes
Corluka
Dawson
Bassong
BAE
Lennon
Palacios
Huddlestone
Modric
Defoe
Crouch

Someone please explain to me how in three short years we have gone from the team above to the present day proposed starting eleven of:

Lloris
Walker
Verts
Chiriches
Rose
Eriksen
Paulinho
Sandro
Chadli
Lamela
Soldado

Please explain why we are so FUCKED after this transfer window!

I'd still have BAE in the team, not sure what we've done there.

 

[Sandro30]

Top window overall, 7 exciting top quality players have joined the ranks and we haven't destroyed the bank to do so. Hopefully a stadium announcement isn't too far away and we can get this show on the road.

Onwards and upwards as we have been in every window generally.

COYS

 

[Ossie85]

So I'm the only one that thinks there wasn't any loan from Joe Lewis? Struck me as BS at the time, still does.

I'm thoroughly satisfied with this window. Sad to see Bale go but excited about those we've brought in and hopefully Sandro and Kaboul getting back to full fitness.

I believe it was true, but it was just to sign the players before selling bale.

I we didn't have that loan, we couldn't have spent 100m on players before selling Bale

 

[Blackcanary]

27.5 Mil for Fellaini?

That's a hell of a lot, that's close to Andy Carrol levels of ridiculousness

That's OUTRAGEOUS. Man U fans must be furious.

Everton have done well today though - Lukaku in on a loan and Barry and McCarthy.

 

[spurs9]

Danny Rose is our starting Left Back. We bombed out BAE. Why do we do this to ourselves?

So he can get match fit and his form back. If he does well and Rose doesn't or if Rose gets injured, we recall him.

 

[yido_number1]

Can't believe benny has gone on loan that is dumb...

 

[wiggo24]

Man Utd about to get Coentrao. That annoys me.

 

[sebcole]

Lol, Harry driving without his seatbelt on SSN

 

[dedend]

looks like coentrao has gone on loan to united

 

[Spawn]

Why do people keep going on about our special relationship with Madrid. After the way daniel got every cent out of Perez they wouldn't give us the sweat off their brow.

 

[TheAmerican]

The only thing that disappoints me is Carrol going to QPR over Ajax. I think Ajax would have done him a world of good.

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

Harry: 'we're gonna play through Tom'

Like!

 

[Francis Gibbs]

Fucking contreau confirmed to utd - ffs

 

[talkshowhost86]

The REALLY stupid thing about most of the posts in this thread is that people aren't even thinking about our transfers. They are just shitting their knickers because Arsenal have signed someone.

That is the sort of ridiculous fandom that makes me wonder whether some people enjoy Arsenal's pain more than they enjoy our success.

 

[hodsgod]

Thanks to Rob/A&C and the mods for their excellent work.

Was a pleasure mixing it on here with fellow yids as the madness played out over the last few weeks. Best window ever!

Fingers crossed the team gels asap and our front men do the business and score like the wind and our midfield protect our defenders and our defenders protect our beloved hugo.

Bye bye Bale, thanks for the great memories, but kissing that badge was fuckery. Bad taste indeed, but good luck chasing your dream and good luck with CR's ego

Laters LOL man - LEGEND. Nuff said. One player I will definitely keep tabs on throughout the rest of his career.

Brave new spurs, brave new season.

Dare to Believe.

Dare to do.

I'm off for a quick close of window wank.

Bale was asked to kiss the badge by the press, he could hardly refuse.
