The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY!

[lgsbigal]

Getting worrying close to Demarai Gray panic-buy time

that is claimed not to be a panic buy and was in the works for weeks. i.e our 5th choice

SSN linking him to Bournemouth ATM - relax.

Not questioning the legitimacy of the ITK, i just find it surprising that its nearly 5pm and there hasnt been even a whisper on a pacy WF. Then again stranger things have happened.

 

[talkshowhost86]

How much time left? 5 or 6 hours? The fact that all we have heard about right now except for Llorente is a possible loan for Gomes is not worrisome???

Are ITKs not commenting because they aren't heating anything? Or because we aren't doing anything and their optimism from yesterday is gone???

Who or what the ITKs are heating is neither here nor there.

Unless it's spaghetti hoops.

I love spaghetti hoops.

Anyway....Llorente and Gomes it is by the sounds of things. Too late now for a surprise.

Sky sports say permanent deal but I don't know how reliable that is

A permanent deal to transfer his registration but if the kid hasn't signed a professional contract, what is that worth exactly?

 

[Indisguise]

Where is our winger?

It is pretty much the law that we leave at least one key position unfilled every year. I'm really hoping this is the year we break with that tradition.

Perhaps it's fallen through

With the sudden crazy money being thrown around in an effort to steal deals today, I wouldn't want anyone leaking anything until the deal is done and dusted for the pacey WF at this point. I'd rather all the ITKs go have a few drinks and take a nap rather than leak something that might cause us to lose someone.

Silence is silver, or golden, or however that phrase goes.

Maybe they don't want to flap their gums to all and sundry and they're not performing monkeys here for our amusement.

If a deal is kept quiet, it means few people know. The fewer people that know, the easier it is to identify the leaker. The easier it is to identify the leaker, the easier it is to fire them. If they're fired, SC is down a source and the ITK has probably lost a friendship

 

[SpartanSpur]

If I remember correctly the Sissoko news didn't gather pace until around 6pm last summer.

 

[DanielCHillier]

So how do loans for academy players work?

He's not signed professional forms yet has he?

So is the loan agreement between City and a Dortmund or the player himself and Dortmund?

I'd have thought we could still agree a contract with him in January regardless of where he is.

It's not a loan is it ?

 

[dimiSpur]

Isn't it funny how the signing of pace is proving to be so slow?

 

[Stoof]

Wheres the ITK's today? Nobody called Llorente at all did they?

I really thought we'd be hearing lots of info about the wingers and the pace all day.

Worryingly its all gone very quiet indeed.

Despite the main source of stuff in the last few days - @Hercules - explicitly saying he's not going to post much today. And despite JJ tweeting that he hopes you "enjoy the ride", I think it was fairly obvious that we weren't going to be chockablock full of updates.

I think we just need to chill a bit.

All the reports on Llorente suggest we've literally moved today.

You're right: there's still time for this to get much, much worse.

 

[arunspurs]

Dominic King (DailyMail) now saying 'Gomes deal is almost done. Poch influence crucial in signing player'

 

[dimiSpur]

Are you trying to put us off making further signings? Daniel? Is that you?

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

It's "silence means your mouth has been stuffed full of Levy's sex wig"

 

[luRRka]

Assume that's now saying rather than not saying?

That makes sense i suppose, i really do hope thats the case. A pacey WF would turn this from a good TW to an amazing one.
