The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY!

[Clark28]

Since the window opened, this is the day we've all been waiting for.

ITK all sounds very positive, lets hope we get our players.

Serge being announced early would make me very optimistic for later signings

 

[srups34]

Most worryingly he isn't dismissing Llorente!

I wouldn't mind Llorente as Kane back up.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

At least you're not asking for too much.

I dont think it is, but because we've left things so late it seems that way.

 

[thekneaf]

Hercules has been quite certain there's at least one WF coming in, with pace, so think we can rule our Aurier as the only addition.
There was ITK earlier in the week Poch wants a a versatile forward, someone capable of playing wider and up top, which to me rules out Llorente, doesn't look our type of signing.
As for Gomes, I'm wondering if that's just posturing from the club, rattle Everton that we can/will move on if they don't get real on Barkley considering his contract and injury situation.

For Llotente I think only in addition to the versatile forward. We could then loan out Vincent to get minutes and goals in a world cup year

 

[Hoopspur]

I wouldn't mind Llorente as Kane back up.

He could well be the player we're revisiting from the past.

 

[nedley]

If/when aurier is announced it will have been a good window imo! Another 1 is a bonus and losing barkley is meh

I don't get this.

We've sold our best right back, the best in the PL and granted we seemed to have replaced him with similar Ilk.

So one big defensive signing and another youngster doesn't make it a good window in my book. Onions.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

JJ's Twitter Q&A:

Q: Can you dismiss links to llorente and Gomes? We need pace!
JJ: No I cannot. We are getting pace

Llorente, Gomes + a pacy forward would be a great window. As long as that pacy forward isn't Demarai Gray...

 

[smudger]

I wouldn't mind llorente tbf. Better than Janssen at this time. Proven scorer Would've been better in 2012 but never mind lol and seems to be happy to be back up at a big club now. Would be happy with him sharing the load with Kane than janssen at the moment. Just need pace in midfield/wf more and seems like itk seems like we will get that from somewhere

 

[freeeki]

7 pages already? Safe to say I won't be doing any work today.

Much like every other day for the past three weeks.

We are going to bring in Gray and Gomes, and spend all our energy on trying to tie up Llorente aren't we...

Pessimist.

Don't worry, I'll be happy and believing in a world class WF again soon.

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

If it was Gray i am sure JJ MAY have said more. Seems to me the guy is still going to be a top player who we may get gazzumped for. Finally sounds like Levy has done what Pochettino really wanted and pulled it all off.

I don't get this point of view. No matter the quality of the player we're still talking about people's jobs being put at risk if the info comes out too early? If we get far enough down our list that we're working on finalising Gray, it's more important we get the transfer done than JJ leaking us info a few hours before we'd hear it anyway.

 

[The Long Suffering One]

JJ:

Enjoy today
Ps if you don't like the end result please don't include me in any moaning tweets as I don't care

 

[cabinfever]

Right. I'm going to the gym now. I expect at least one signing and some decent positive itk by the time I get back!!

Get working!!

 

[Stoof]

Can I just make it extremely clear that, on today of all days, posting questions like:

• Has there been ITK on [X]?
• What's the latest on [X]?
• Has JJ poo-pooed this/that/the other?

Not cool. Not ever. Especially not today when it'll be busy.

Just read the fucking thread.

Gray + Gomes would not be a bad window at all. Sure we'd all like that "household name" pacy WF, but those two plus the rest of our business would actually be ok.

Probably doing the much criticised thing of reading too much into something an ITK says, which isn't actually there..but.. I see that last line as a lot more negative than the weeks of positive ITK that we have received...

I think that's the most likely scenario now.

Don't think we're going to see something come out of left field at this stage.

 

[dondo]

Gray is 3rd choice wide forward we're after I believe

Is the general consensus that martins is 1st choice, gray 3rd, so who is 2nd choice???

Not sure Martins was ever remotely in the equation.

Would that positive ITK include JJ saying he was still calm and hopeful less than 12 hours ago? He's just saying he doesn't care about peoples' opinions lol. Remember there's still people that don't want Barkley.
