The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Aero Edition 9th May 2014

[SpursDave88]

Personally fed up of years of failure and broken promises, season after season we have failed to achieve our targets and sold our best players. The Timmy appointment has been a disaster and if we allow this most recent squad of players to be broken up I would bet my last penny that 80% of the players we sell will go onto do well. I think player dissatisfaction is generally overblown, Peter Schmeichel put in a transfer request at Utd after a fallout with Fergie early on in his career there, although you almost never hear about it. All we need is to get the manager appointment right and the players will be re-energised and pull together, look at Man City this year.

Been waiting for the ITK to re-open... there was always going to be a glut of gossip coming out of the club given the amount of pearlers Tim's being coming out with this past 6 months.

I particularly like the suggestion of him being ushered out the back door after the Villa game. Drive him out to the South Downs and let him out saying "run boy, you're free now!"

Not in the slightest surprised at Lloris and Verts escaping, it's been written over their faces for months. Am a bit surprised at Ade leaving for Monaco mind. Lukaku anyone?

Worth pasting here the quotes that Hugo made last June. Posted them in the last daily ITK thread but then it was unceremoniously closed and it's relevent to today's snippet:

“What's happening in Monaco is good for Ligue 1 and for this great French club, because PSG need a challenger,” he told le10sport.

"But personally, I left to go abroad, to try and build something on a personal and sporting level and I don't intend to come back soon."

Lloris also suggested he would find it hard to move to Monaco after starting his professional career at neighbours Nice.

“And then there is another thing - I am too much of a Nice man to go there!,” he said.

Sherwood could start a fight in a phonebox.

"what's a phone box? I don't need no foreign phone box, I've got me motorola MR201 pay-as-you-go mobile what I bought in 1996. I think we over look the methods of chatting we already have. What's wrong with the mobile I've already got, that no-one thought to use?

I can't be doing with this sudden influx of communication technology, when I was a player we just used hand signals from the window of the team bus. See, I can do it on the cheap Dan. Gimme the job. Gimme the job. Gimme the job."

When I renew the thread I close the old one. If you'd like a ceremony I'll see what I can do.

Some trumpeters perhaps? A town crier? Big titted maidens doing the Betfred dance?

Tim's first scout badge was for bringing Ade in from the cold, and making AVB look stupid for freezing him out in the first place over personal issues.

Tim now seems to have frozen out half a dozen players himself. I hereby demand he gives back his scout badge, his woggle, his garters and his penknife.

 

[Breezer]

I think there was ITK (In January IIRC) about him retiring at the end of the season.

Yes from me. Let's see what happens.

Maidens please. proper maidens.

 

[spursfan77]

Yes from me. Let's see what happens.

Now he's had a run of games I wonder if he's had a change of heart?

 

[dagraham]

Not sure you can describe A & C as a maiden. An old scrubber maybe, maiden no.

Honestly don't know.... If we release him, I'm not sure he would pass another medical.

 

[Geyzer Soze]

Yes from me. Let's see what happens.

Any developments since then that you've heard then?

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Quite depressing but not surprising news about players wanting out. I've resigned myself to Verts, Lloris and Ade going really. If Sandro or Eriksen leaves as well though I'm going to be seriously pissed off.

I don't agree with those that say that FDB must be made manager on the strength of convincing Verts to stay. At every successful club (bar those that shit money) the manager is the most important person at the club, not the CH. We should appoint the best manager we can and if Verts still wants out, then fuck him.

You do realise those players can't leave without Levy letting them?

As a fan himself i'm pretty sure he realise all them bar Ade are the future of the club. So I doubt he will just sell them due to a bit of disillusionment. Not unless the new manager doesn't rate them.

Greg Stobart backing up the Paulinho rumours with an article saying he wants out and that he "completely downed tools" at one point.

Great.

Link in player thread.

This chaos shows that we need to go for an experienced manager who is used to dealing with big egos and that the players will respect, makes me all the more convinced we need Benitez

 

[spursfan77]

Yeah I was going to say that. I don't see the harm in keeping him for another year if he wants to stay. If he can keep playing games of course.

I hope we sell him. If we got our money back on him it could be put towards a left back or centre back where we need replacements. I suspect he will be the first out the door as he has resale value. Although it will be abroad and not to Chelsea.

Providing we jettison Sherwood early I can't see many of the playing squad really pushing to leave as they simply do not know who the next man will be and how big a role he may envisage for them.

 

[Drexl]

One thing i don't understand, if all these players are fed up and want to leave because of Sherwood surely they know they only have 1 more game playing for the cretin so with him leaving they would be happy and content again?
