The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - THE LAST DAY! 1st September 2014

[Montasura]

im sad about this,i would liked him to stay, he has the energy and desire, and thought would prosper under Poch's guidance, Unlike a one or two young players that we will unfortunatley keep

Really confuses me as to why he hasn't had a chance. He looked really good during pre-season and looked like he would fit well into MP's system. He has all the heart and desire and can put in a shift, was cheap, and is still young.

On paper it makes sense to keep him but I have to assume MP has seen something the rest of us haven't and wants to offload.

I reckon we've delayed the Stambouli announcement so that if we don't sign anybody else today, we can announce him as a softener to the blow, and say we were busy on Deadline Day.

Hope it's not true, but that's my gut feeling.

Holtby medical at Hamburg according to SSN

Gives us the oversees vacancy to finalise Stambouli (assuming BAE, Khumalo and Ceballos are off/won't make the 17)

 

[van_Pommel]

The BBC probably said the same thing the morning of deadline day when we signed VDV. You never know...

certainly wouldn't pull the wool over my eyes, we are still short on quality and no cheap unproven french player is going to change that

I reckon (queue the optimistic ratings) that we're holding off in the hope that we can get hold of MS

donation made And will donate again if Levy comes up with the goodies.....If he doesnt I will whine and bitch and reluctantly stump up another donation but with a face like thunder.

Donation made on what seems to be a difficult day. I still want my money back though if all we do is re-sign Defoe!

I guess we couldn't offload Paulinho and they are both competing for the same spot. May be a reprive for Lewis if Paulinho bums again.

Holtby - Hamburg (not confirmed yet)
Stambouli - To us (although not confirmed yet)

That is it... (Fryers @ Crystal Palace)

And Obika to Swindon (not yet confirmed).

 

[mikspurz]

I'll stick with JJ's info over the BBC's thanks all the same.

Yep and mine too. I can also give an update in 12 hours. I'll be bang on the money with respect to all the transfer dealings. FFS.

The longer it goes without hearing anything on BS the more hopeful I am we're still negotiating with Southampton on MS.

Not saying its likely but talks might still be on-going.

Correct, they are guessing, anything is possible today

your going to end up in tears.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I am glad this is the last day A&C's jokes are now the pits.

You've lowered my morale…….I can't be arsed to even resort to a 'your mum' joke here and believe me one was screaming at me

Guys, we're seeing a nice pick up on the donation front, please keep them coming. You can also set up a recurring debit thingy, we're seeing more and more people doing that, which is like really helpful.

This sort of thing will probably be pretty useful today.

Can people try to post this sort of update every so often so people browsing the thread can see the latest status of various deals.

Thats what I think too. We'll make one final attempt for Schneiderlin and if it comes off we'll pull the plug on the Stambouli signing. Otherwise we'll conclude that signing instead.

Donation cherry popper right here! BOOM!
C'mon newbies, join in ... pretend it's like the ice-bucket challenge ... and we're challenging YOU !

Off topic disclaimer: I donated A&C ... please don't ban(stick) me today of all days!!!

 

[sharky127]

BBC now reporting that Welbecks reps were speaking with us last night and a deal may be forthcoming.

Edit...oh and donated too

 

[RobjDerby]

I think people need to remember just how many players have come in over the last 12\18 months before expecting too much movement today. Good to see that the squad will get trimmed IMO.

Sundays match means nothing, our players just didn't show up, that team was more than capable of getting at least a point.

I don't want to see us panic buying someone.
