The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - OPEN

[allpaths]

Not this season in the league he hasn't (according to who scored website).
How many goals and assists would son have in a poor palace team?

You cant compare who scored ratings in general (the algorithm is flawed) and u also can't compare a starter Zaha to Son a substitute since son's ratings gets wrecked whenever he gets subbed on in the last minutes just to time waste. Plus while we have a lot more of the ball son is very rarely our main attacking focus, with Eriksen, Kane and Alli all a head of him. For Palace Zaha is all they got really, so he sees more of the ball and gets to make more of an impact. Zaha's a nice player, but son is still so much more reliable, clinical and consistent and people really take for granted what it's like to have a player of son's quality of the bench.

ITK talks of Levy not wishing to deal with Mendes.

I wonder why. Has something happened recently?

Who is Lamela's agent by the way?

How about Fazio? Was he or is he involved with Mendes? (The Fazio acquisition was a particularly poor one and I wouldn't be surprised if Levy had a bone to pick with whoever was involved in that deal).

Just a guess - but I assume it has to do with the manner in which Mendes operates - not anything specific to Spurs.

As I said before I like son and want zaha in addition.
Son has quality no doubt but to label him reliable and consistent is laughable there is a picture of him next to the word inconsistent in the dictionary

i was saying son is more reliable and consistent then compared to Zaha, and his inconsistency is much over blown, but it is an area he can work on. i wouldnt total be against zaha, i just think we can do much better.

No smoke without fire - I suspect that Mendes has indeed done something involving Spurs to lead Levy to indicate that he wants nothing to do with him. I wonder what.

On the other hand, you may be right. Perhaps the Costa incident has led to this supposed action by Levy.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there. The timing of the ITK and the lack of reported interest in any of Mendes' clients, suggests it's just a comment related to costa's behaviour.

The Zaha versus Son debate is getting tedious. I've genuinely been more excited reading about the digestive system of the earthworm

Is it true that if you cut them in half they turn into spiders? Or something.

Only if it's a full moon, or some sort of shit

Could also be a way of saying we are not in for Fonte

 

[Darrkespur]

Just a guess - but I assume it has to do with the manner in which Mendes operates - not anything specific to Spurs.

I suspect the bad blood between Levy and Mendes goes back as far as the window we tried to buy Moutinho for AVB, and Mendes reportedly kept renegotiating and going back on previously agreed points in the deal, to the point that the whole transfer collapsed on deadline day.

 

[Insomnia]

What does Mendes know about the Zaha/ Son debate , that's the real question here

Edit: was going to post that Mendes messed us about with Moutinho and left us high and dry. Somehow I just post nothing originally.

 

[Jospur]

In view of the Mendes ITK comment and Lamela being away for so long I checked to see who is Lamela's agent. It looks as though it's his father.

Lamela's absence may indeed be due to his injury and other family problems - but I also remember (correctly???) that Lamela wanted a new contract. This in view of the new contracts being offered to many of his teammates. Didn't ITK say something to the effect that Pochettino said he'd have to earn a new contract and that the player was irked with not being offered a new contract?

I wonder how likely it is that Mendes is sniffing around Lamela to see if he can become his agent and the Levy/Mendes ITK is the Club indicating possible ramifications if that were to happen.

 

[Kiedis]

I think Lamela is going to be unveiled today as a part of the Trump administration.

If you think about it, it makes perfect sense.

Or, about as much sense as much else I've been reading about him during this injury spell.

And in other news, 2 + 2 + 3 = 79

GKN seems to have a better attitude, which can carry him a lot further than zaha, but there both really raw and zaha is more physically gifted which gives him an edge atm.

We've seen about 60 mins of nkoudou. Zaha is an experienced prem player. You can't compare the two yet
