The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY!

[BedfordshireSpud]

Rob, I think the server is playing up, must be overloaded. I just read that Levy has spent £30m on Sissoko. Obviously wrong.

 

[JayB]

30M for a squad player......just let that sink in.

He's going to get a lot of games for us, 30m is just the reality of the market these days. Bolasie, a player of similar quality, went for roughly the same. Players are being traded between Championship clubs for 15m. Burke, a young talent with only a handful of Championship appearances just went for 13m. With exploding revenues come exploding transfer valuations.

I think we just need to trust the management on this one. Obviously they see something in him and Poch will have to get it out of him. There's no doubt he is talented.

 

[Roynie]

Yes, there was a bit on SSN about it. Its called a 'deal sheet', the player must undertake that he's agreed personal terms, it get signed by all the parties and as long as it arrived before 11pm they get a two hour extension. I think that's it anyway, I wasa still fantasising about Hayley McQueens norks at the time.

Come on @Archibald&Crooks, keep your mind on the job! ..... Oh wait ..... you are ..... just a different pair of jobs, OK!

 

[millsey]

Why does anyone care how much a multi billionaire just spent on a player?? You all wanted a dembele alternative, we've just got a very good one. Don't care if he was 3 or 30 million

 

[Spurs Lodge Kittens]

Perhaps if he wanted us so badly we could have stuck to our guns at a lower price. Particulalry if he was never going to speak to actually speak to Everton

Sky Sports: Everton withdraw interest in Sissoko

 

[brasil_spur]

Tied with Lamela

In GBP, don't forget that pound has slumped post Brexit, so doesn't look so bad when you look at EUR amounts.

 

[matty74]

Can play on the left side of midfield where eriksen is so ineffective. So he could easily play there.

 

[bubble07]

Can imagine porch went ape shit with baldy

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Guys get over it he is joining Everton. And at 30m I don't want him.

 

[stov]

hope we don't sign sissoko, not better than anyone in our first 11. Especially for 30m. Save the money for the right player at the right time

Looks like he's coming, hope we can't find a pen when it comes to signing the contract

 

[King of Otters]

surely 30 mill we could have done much better. lets act earlier next window

Don't worry dov. Lessons have surely been learned.

 

[GutBucket]

We can't fill all holes in the squad and leave me satisfied, I'm not used to it. So I'll hope we sign Lookman and get that spursy feeling in the end.

 

[DIEHARD]

Everton withdraw ineterest ... yeah right

You were gazumped

I also withdraw my interest in rachel riley

 

[WalkerboyUK]

Let's all just pretend it was £15m and our lives will be exactly the same. Deal?

It'd be more of a shitter if we sold someone from the first XI and then spunked £30m on Sissoko.

 

[Disconosebleed]

Lots of energy. Zero quality. Very similar

I'm not sure you know who Sissoko is. He's got loads of quality and an indifference to effort unless he feels like it, ie. the exact opposite of Zokora who worked his knackers off but couldn't play football. Are you talking about Momo Sissoko who used to play for Liverpool?

 

[Scott Spur]

Honestly, I've watched this guy a lot, absolute best of a player. If Poch taps in and gets his head right, this is a huge signing for us, huge.

Don't make the mistake of being underwhelmed because of the inconsistentcy at Newcastle, it was a mess.

This guy has the ability to pull defences all over the shop. What a signing to round out our midfield options.

We've seriously just upgraded our strength in depth if this goes through.

Gonna trust you on this one Pink......have to say you're in a small minority though.

 

[KingKay]

The bitter, bitter irony of Levy infuriating everyone with his frugality, only to confound and infuriate us further by spunking £30 million on a player worth a fraction of that.

Levys gonna Levy

 

[Trix]

He prob will play one in 5 so should be ok!

Don't know about that it seems Poch really wants him. No way Levy shells out that much cash at the death on a player who isn't going to play. I get the feeling Levy has had to back MP on this even at the high cost, perhaps because of others that have slipped through.
