The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - THE LAST MINUTE OF THE LAST HOUR OF THE LAST DAY 31st August 2012

[We'llWinThePrem]

So did we spend the 60 million today

 

[XIIIMPC]

Are we now certain we are done for tonight, I do I need to stay awake for another 30 mins in case there is another twist in the Moutinho saga?

I'm giving it till 1.

 

[Studdsy]

Moutinho

Chill, We got this.

 

[nightgoat]

Hearing unconfirmed reports that Leandro Damiao will join Spurs in the January transfer window.

That's one to watch out, A bit left field.

We will never sign Damiao.

 

[spurslenny]

Why would you think that? Sounds retarded. How are they connected?

Huh? What? I need a reason to have a 'funny feeling'?

Behave.

 

[Luka Van der Bale]

DEMPSEY WILL BE OUR THIRD STRIKER!

 

[sbrustad]

I'm giving it till 1.

Likewise. I like to set myself up for more disappointment when I've been knocked down constantly a whole fucking day.

 

[Mullers]

FYP!

Same age, and we paid a quarter of the amount. Good deal IMO.

Don't worry I've already said the same about van tosspost, he's way overrated.

 

[ShelfSide18]

Some people just have no clue, not even the merest shred of an idea how the basic economics of football work, particularly for a club in our position - essentially trying to buy Waitrose goods at Tesco prices. Levy is not penny pinching for the sake of it, he's doing it because he has too and it directly benefits what happens on the field, and not just the next game, not even the next 10 months but to keep us safe for the long term future.

We'll be aright, I'm gutted we've lost 2 world class midfielders and have left a midfield clearly lacking brains and guile but we have goals in us, we have solidity and a manager who will spend more time coaching the attention to detail things that HR didn't. We have a very, very encouraging youth set up and ethos that will hopefully grow and be the cornerstone of what we want to achieve. We are in good hands and are a club that is set up for the long term future.

Lets smash Norwich to smithereens tomorrow now.

 

[RiotHartLane]

Big deal

Yeah, after RVP and Rooney while playing as a midfielder, not a bad sub

 

[topcert]

Disagree,

Llroris > Friedel
Vert > King (Considering his injuries etc current standard)
Dempsey > Pav, Saha, etc

Signed Ade perm, I think Sig and Dem won't be as bad as you think, and having a player to last 90 mins every week although playing worse, might benefit us as a whole, I loved VDV but we might not be as worse off as expected without him.

Bale and Walker and Sandro will also just get better. I would say we're stronger even though NO one will agree. Last year Modric fucked off in too many games and didn't want to be here, and rotation made us weaker (lack of) so with rotation we'll be stronger

So would you bet on us to be top 4 ?

Hearing unconfirmed reports that Leandro Damiao will join Spurs in the January transfer window.

I'm sorry, but I don't give a fuck about January now if we get too far behind in the league before then for it to matter.

 

[hugrr]

He's been 3rd top scorer in the last 3 seasons in an average team hasn't he?

He has.

The last player we signed with stats like that, Darren Bent.

Not pro, not anti, just a wait and see-er

 

[Tyler24durden]

Shambles not signing Moutinho. Key to everything.
Dempsey signing bizarre, berba would make more sense.

 

[SonicSarr]

Well jenas is a midfielder and would most likely take up a squad placein the 25 I guess

So you are saying we would not sign Moutinho just because it would mean Jenas wouldn't get a squad number? Behave!!!
You must be a fucktard?
DEmpsey is now the icon of this window failure. I feel sorry for Verts, Bale, Lloris . Sold down the rier like us.

And you come out with shit like that? Jenas ... seriously?

 

[Dan Yeats]

Jesus Christ! We have two fucking strikers, TWO!

Three. Dempsey is a striker as much as he is a midfielder, just wasn't played there much at Fulham.

 

[hodsgod]

christ this one just stopped and we start on the next

 

[rebrab]

Btw the team that wanted to loan Hudd was Everton, not fulham I think. Obviously too late though!

 

[Hitch]

If we were a normal club I'd be left with a small smidgen of comfort in the expectation that we would sort out the fine details between now and January 1st so that we can conclude a deal for Moutinho early in the next window. We're not a normal club though are we? If we go back in for him it will again be left until the very last second and chances are it again won't go through. That's if Porto would even be so willing to sell at that stage, which I doubt.

FFS!

 

[Guntz]

I just don't see it, levy, and avb there to seal a deal for kane.

 

[DiamondLites]

Fuck me the window has been shut for 54mins and people are already talking about god damn leandro. It truly is groundhog day every august 31st
