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

[Mattyboii]

How can we a few mill short off portos estimations if we agreed the fee. I thought we were in personal terms? So thats between us,.moutinho and his agent no? I am confused now!

 

[Mistermorriss]

Some of you GROW UP!!!! if you dont like it go and support another team FFS!.

lol

 

[ryantegan]

ask

Why?

Rob and AC

 

[Ian Kane]

Things in perspective - thought losing VDV would be the biggest loss today.

RIP Nan taken this evening

RIP. Sincere condolences.

 

[dorsetyid]

could be a lot worse, think of the last few transfer windows when we were pushing on and signed absolute fuck all
seriously dempsey will be good for us, no he is not a replacement for vdv/modric but he can play up front or in midfield

 

[vicbob]

Oh my good we have just signed a proven premiership striker........,.im going to kill myself.

Welcome clint, should give ade a kick up the arse and keep him on his toes

 

[lukadownthelane]

If we did bid for llorente and he turned us down and our back up was Dempsey, that's fine for me. The thing i can't grasb is these rumours about 3rd party ownership of Mouts. If true, how the hell did we not know or atleast try and work out how we would untangle it knowing it wold be a deadline day special.

Spot on This is where I blame levy totally

 

[Cavehillspur]

can be subject.

Cheers mate, still holding out hope for Jaio.

 

[venablesphil]

Can I suggest two threads tomorrow to discuss the transfer window. One open and one with an IQ test you have to pass to gain entry...

 

[panoma]

Still time though, im hoping Real Madrid loan us a midfielder, if they do I will be very happy overall!

 

[TEESSIDE1]

F*ck off mate.

OK it's not Moutinho, but it's a good signing nonetheless.

Charming thing to say.

VDV or Dempsey .... poor decision by Levy.

 

[Stoof]

Have people actually seen how Dempsey plays? Because from a lot of comments, it's not that obvious that some of you have ...

 

[Franchise60]

teflon

 

[Danners9]

Anyone heard about Dawson? some Sunderland fans I know think he's going there.

 

[John chedozie]

Ffs we have a 36000 stadium we CAN'T pay what other clubs can if we ended up like Leeds levy wud get slagged to fuck I'm gutted no mouts but Dempsey is a decent player and we have to get real

 

[walton]

What has been out net spend over the past 2-3 years as this now getting beyond a joke. Don't get me wrong, Dempsey is a GOOD player but we should be after GREAT players.

How many GREAT players got to non-CL clubs? Very few...Some realism please chumps.

 

[thinktank]

Fee was agreed long ago was it not, 22mil club record??? Thought the stumbling block was personal terms / 3rd party palava??

Exactly.

 

[Davious]

Interesting! That signing came from nowhere!

I really hope Moutinho signs though!

 

[tiger666]

I got some shit for

"I already hate dempsey... Fuck fucking dempsey... Fuck everything. Fuck my life. Fuck spurs. I'm getting a VDV hamburg shirt. Fuck off.... Just fuck off."

Which is fair enough, it was childish... But Im so fucking angry about what the fuck is going on. So fucking angry. Seriously, anyone who doesnt think modric + vdv out and dempsey + dembelle in isnta fucking car crash needs to "go support someone else". fucking retards.... Moutinho or im going to be furious. Ive always backed levy, for fucking years. years and fucking years. but if you let this happen you need to go.

Can this idiot be banned?

 

[only1waddle]

Its not that Dempsey is crap as some are saying, because he is not, he is very good, its just that Moutinho would have taken us to the next level, Moutinho + Dempsey and AVBs 433 would be looking good, and dare i say it 4th place or above would be looking good..

 

[sidford]

Delighted with Dempsey and not afraid to say I am very happy with our signings this window. We are definitely stronger as a starting 11 and as a squad so well done Levy

 

[Polyvore]

dempsey scored more than 20 goals last season! wow!

 

[Berbatonghen]

6 million for dempsey is a good deal BUT cant help but think couldnt we have used that money towards moutinho ?

 

[CrazyConrad]

Helicopter over the lodge, maybe Moutinho lol.

 

[WoodGreenSpur]

6m for Dempsey what a joke. I really cant wait for people to see just how average he is.

 

[klacey]

Whats the chance AVB is in Porto trying to sort that deal out personally for mouts. Seems weird he isnt at the lodge otherwise, or is that normal?

 

[Cavehillspur]

He can't be 3rd top scorer- he scored 17 last year and 14 the year before- think he'll do well for us though

Hes a decent signing no doubt, unexpected, but il welcome him for sure.

 

[Rob]

Why?

The Goat's Plan D (which came from JJ) was Dembele/Dempsey

 

[monkeynick]

Moutinho is the closest thing you will find in terms of a like for like replacement of Modric

According to you, and you are?

 

[HappySpur]

How fucking poor are we? I always thought we had money, but we don't. We can't even afford to spend all the money we made on sales this year. That is pathetic. We're like Everton. Are things truly this dire with our finances?
