The Daily ITK Discussion Thread DEADLINE DAY!

[Achap]

Well, I would throw that same question back to the club: what open and hounest information did they give us?

I certainly have been given information about us being interested in Martial and Zaha among others. Poch himself has said we are hoping/expecting to do something.

At least if they communicated to us: we will try for some top targets - if not succesful then we don’t bother with any.
I would be fine with that and don’t think we are in a bad shape. Moura, Lamela, Rose and Toby could be like new signings to us.

I love Poch, Levy and everyone at the club - but I feel they had a bad strategi for this window ... at least communication-wise.

This was by an employee of the club, was it?

Rubbish comment. We are the first club since 2003 not to make a summer signing.
I'm ok if the reason for that is severe privation of funds owing to the new stadium. But I feel that we as fans deserve a response to our worries considering the gargantuan outlay we are expected to make to support our team. We all know that we fell short last year owing to significant gaps in the squad and I'm not sure how we're expecting to improve this year with no signings.
Again, considering we're one of the most expensive clubs in the world to support, I for one am not prepared to put up with pootling about in fourth or fifth and occasional semi finals. Only cups and titles will do know.
Expecting dohs and dislikes but couldn't care less.

Why are you bothered about ratings, are you a teenager?



We've also finished 3rd, 2nd and 3rd pretty recently, pootling ...

As far as getting a response from the high ups ... Well.

Be angry but christ ...

I come on here and know what to expect , the transfer windows are ALWAYS a rollercoaster,if you don’t know that you now maybe people should look elsewhere. I’m very appreciative of ALL th ITK information, just add bucket loads of salt and enjoy the ride .
Thanks to all the mods for there patience with us .
At the end of the day if we had signed Grealish he wouldn’t have made the difference between us finishing in th stop four or not .
The team we have is excellent, been together now for a few seasons ,other teams ie: Chelsea new manager , Arsenal new manager, ManU in disarray.
We have a collective team , now that Tobyand Rose are staying can only bode well for new the season
We have Moura he’s like a new signing , expect big thing from home season.
Anyway I digress , when we finish in the top four again at the end of the season , we will wonder what was all the fuss about.
( also there is some decent youth just waiting to take there chances )

COYS ??

Thank fuck that is all over now.

I decided back when the new stadium first became a realistic prospect that my hopes for any seasons we spent away and the first couple in the new stadium was top half of the table and that I'd settle for not getting relegated. This has made all this sort of shit bearable.

Strange reply as I also refered to Poch in my post. I an not looking to condemn the club or anybody - just dating this was (in my opinion) a very strange window and a bog miss for me...

 

[Dirtysanchez6]

Well what a way to kill the excitement of the new season ?? anyway once the dust settles we are all COYS ! Still have a great squad Daniel has let us and ooh down though but anyway time to get behind the team #COYS

Agree with this to an extent but i am at the point where i want new owners to come in pay off the stadium allowing us to invest in the team.
Wouldn't mind levy staying if we brought in a dof that will do negotiations.

 

[vuzp]

just think we always needed at least one new face in too just added something to each season and Grealish would have been prefect and that deal should have been done long ago really, but whats done is done or as in our case not done ))

(You idiot).

@Archibald&Crooks - another one for the list pal.

He accepted the ban by creating another account. What a dick. Now he's banned twice.

Not strange at all.

Stoof asked you “...what expectations did the club itself give you?”

You replied, “I certainly have been given information about us being interested in Martial and Zaha among others.”

I was naturally interested in clarifying if an employee of the club had given you that information.

What's strange about that?

I think you are blurring the lines between issues here.

You're annoyed at the price of the ticket you chose to buy. Fair enough, i suppose - you didn't have to, but you did. An expected increase in prices though, would you agree?
Its not often you get upgraded to state-of-the-art facilities without a little extra outlay...

You are making a very foolish assumption that adding a couple of players automatically equates trophies. Where exactly have you got that assumption from?
Were you expecting Bale, Pele and Pirlo?

Your final statement - well, this is where the lolz be at!

" I for one am not prepared to put up with pootling about in fourth or fifth and occasional semi finals. Only cups and titles will do know."


Or what?

Where is this sense of entitlement coming from?

No, you don't seem to understand what I'm saying. ..
We're the most expensive club in world football to support.

The sense of entitlement comes from the fact that we're the most expensive club in world football.
And, btw, I've been a supporter of the club since early eighties, have stuck by us during the most miserable times, and have seen very little in the way of trophies, so to considered that fans like me considered ourselves 'entitled' is a laugh....

 

[FibreOpticJesus]

Wait, are you saying you're annoyed at not signing anyone, or relieved we didn't sign anyone, just for the sake of it?

I am annoyed that he is still trying to play the same game on a different table. Clubs have the money so will hold out for the value they want. You have to adjust your playing style. Also for the top players you very rarely get a blinding deal. You have to bite the bullet and buy the player at the top price to make your first 11 better. ITKs said we had identified who we wanted. But it is evident we wanted them well below market rates. Well he got what he wanted to pay for. Anyway we are where we are. Bring on Saturday COYS

 

[andyp8080]

i worry about Stoof..........he is putting on a brave face but i can just imagine this lonely man walking with an unused stamp flung over his shoulder

we are here for you mate

 

[Martin91]

(Fact) As of Tuesday we was expecting 2 players in. Only this morning did we pull out of all deals.

(Opinion) I believe DL will clear the decks with VJ, GKN and whoever else by the end of this month. Then try to make a signing in Jan. not ideal but financially probably realistic based on not being stuck with players who won’t be part of the squad yet still earning wages burning down their contracts.

Any info to why we pulled out of these deals breezer?
Also what now happens to Toby does he sign a new deal and all is forgotten???

So what the fuck are you actually saying?

You feel entitled because you are paying more for your ticket now.
Then in the very next sentence, you're laughing at the idea of you being entitled...

Like i said, get a grip...

I think once the dust has settled, you are going to enjoy an amazing experience at the new stadium - which i am incredibly jealous of - and hopefully with a few results under our belt and the new gaff bedded in nicely, we'll be back at the real action - football!

Chin-up my Spurs brother, lets fucking have it!

 

[Jocke W]

Who was the 2 players that we had deals in place for this morning, but we decided to walk away from?
