The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - Hello

[Archibald&Crooks]

Ok il have a good think on it

You do that. And while you’re at it, seeing as it’s so funny, have a ponder as to why your access has taken a long walk off a short plank.

 

[Mackan110]

Thanks for all the info guys, just like always!
I somehow always get pulled in and believe Levy has changed and now it seems like he has but it always turn around and end up the same... I hope it doesn't do that this time!

Thanks again and please no itk bashing for you guys!

He had a thrumming banstick as well.

Sure, and if Ange and the club think that then i have no problem with that decision.

Just bored of people trying to make out that he's a terrible defender when he clearly isn't.

Are you his brother that got into a little barny in the stands that day?

It's so refreshing to have a manager who trusts scouted recommendations.

Dragon is in a talkative mood today on COYS.

On Postecoglou’s hiring:

Two of the reasons he was bought in were neither Jose or conte promoted youth , he will , as well as Devine and Spence we have four or five exceptional kids in under 17s and club want them integrated

another reason is he is decisive , the squad needed a large overhaul , past coaches were not strong and himmed and hared the club needed someone strong at the helm to guide the board and as you are seeing he is doing that and we are getting things done.

On who we will be bringing in:

Will not be a left back , we have udogie coming in , two center half’s , two midfielders , winger/ forward

Plus Vicario, that's a hell of a refresh if we can get it all in. A crazy one, really, but sorely needed.

Those potential ins look like exactly what we need.

Presume they are they 5 positions we are targeting on top of Vicario and Maddison.

No point speculating but it's certainly an ambitious summer's recruitment drive and thoroughly looking forward to seeing what transpires!

I do not believe that Conte and Jose were indecisive. The pair of them would have definitely told the senior staff which players they wanted gone, but we've heard enough how they were expected to get more from those players already at the club. If anything I think it's the change in our fortunes (no Europe) that has allowed Ange's decisions to be taken on board and not treated like his predecessors.

Edit: 100% on the youth though. Conte was not good at giving the youth a chance, Jose would at least use players like Devine and White in cup games and gave Tanganga his senior debut where he pocketed Mane.

Most of the people in the decision-making process very highly rate Taps. The data team, some of our scouts (unfortunately we still have some scouts - for now - who haven’t bought into this new way of thinking and working), and especially the two people who aren’t yet employees of the club believe he’d be a great fit for our plans. Having said that, we feel we’ve offered a very fair price and if Leverkusen are good to go at that price, we do it. If not, we’ll spend the money on other targets. For the first time that many of us can remember we’re not messing other clubs around by nickel and dimeing them, and we’re not allowing ourselves to be messed around by other clubs. Feels both weird and wonderful to be working this way. We’re moving with speed and purpose. Surreal. Hoping DL has the spheres to stay the course.

This is all very encouraging I gotta say.

Regardless of whether we are successful in securing Tapsoba, this is still very positive news operationally speaking and bodes really well for the future.

Time will tell but he's on the money here. Very refreshing and hopefully we can maintain it. I said we would be ruthless with outgoings and I still believe that will be the case where we take a few hits instead of trying to fuck clubs around for a few extra £££. Heard the same my end re incomings. We do of course need to get rid of quite a few but we're certainly moving with purpose

It almost feels as if Daniel Levy has stepped back from footballing decisions… Can it be?

 

[tottenhamlad]

Romano and POK have been very good for info this year. Seem to have a good source.

Christ, we're really not fucking around are we?
