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

[King of Otters]

tbf he called Lloris all along when JJ was rubbishing the idea for weeks, the duty free arrived a few weeks late

He gets rid of some of his sources and only posts sober he will be a top itk

I'm not having it. Far too much bullshit passed off as 'ITK' over the past couple of days and the window in general.

 

[postigol]

One question: Can we expect someone to leave? Jenas, Bentley, Kane, Huddle, Daws, Keeper? Or are they all def stayiing?

Certainly seems Huddlestone and Kane have loan moves, Daws would be retained surely. Heard nothing of Bentley all day, but club did a great job of clearing out unwanted players IMHO.

The over reactions are hilarious. But.....

We have lost our 2 most creative players and replaced with good players, but good solid players.

These teams that come to WHL sit back and hope to nick a goal, are going to be more encouraged.

It's not that dembele and Dempsey are not decent players, I really rate them... But they are not the right players.

We have no class in midfield and I think we will regret it... It's the difference between CL and no CL IMO

 

[dirky88]

Really trying not to be so negative as some of the bellends on here but looking at our squad now, it looks scarily weak in areas.
We've got some very good individuals in this window but the squad as a whole Is worse for sure

 

[hugrr]

AVB must be fuming

AVB's fine!

 

[lippyspur]

We are so mich weaker than last year.

Disgraceful. I am gutted.

Also goes to prove itks are full of shit. Moutinho is done yadda yadda yadda.....bullshit.

The first team may appear to be slightly weaker but in Dembele and Dempsey we have two players who will track back as much as they will go on the attack, and whilst I'll miss both Luka and Rafa that was something that was very much lacking in their overall game although they certainly tried to a point, we have a new defender who most teams would have taken in a heartbeat and one of the top 4 goal keepers in world football and is still to hit his prime years and if Ade performs in the way we know he can then we have a cracking player on our hands.

Fair enough we are clearly short of another striker and potentially a world class playmaker but lets see how AVB sets the new squad up before slashing our wrists, why bash the ITK, we all know things can change so quickly as we've witnessed today.

 

[Graysonti]

We are a money making exercise for Levy and his ENIC cronies.

Transfer gain AGAIN

No sporting ambition

 

[sunnydelight786]

We have bought very well in this window no doubt, but the main man the manager wanted we have failed to get and we still have JJ and Bentley on the payroll

 

[ryantegan]

Profit. Goodnight.

 

[Teddy Klinsmann]

Imagine being a Liverpool fan tonight. We've done ok.

 

[Mattspurs1982]

I just don't understand how it went from Moutinho being agreed and wanting to come here to it collapsing? Surely we had an idea of wage demands. I smell an agent.

How did spurs not know what was invoked beforehand?!! If not - We're a club ran by complete numpty twats who all deserve sacking.

£22m - just pay the agent the £2m and move the fudge on!!! Ffs spurs. United, City, Chelsea just get this shit done!

 

[Gary-22]

we're gonna be so shit on fifa too

not true, ive already been thinking about how my team will be in fifa 13 and im excited

 

[baldinyid]

£40m sales in last 7 days. £20m spent. We now have more goalkeepers than strikers. An injury to ade, or either of Bale/Lennon and we are exposed! Should have pushed everything for Mouts/Llorente.

Gomes is a striker you know.........

 

[thinktank]

AVB must be fuming

Ain't ginger no more...grey as a wolf after today.

 

[spursfan77]

And is the agent still at spurs lodge, if so , why??

How do we know if he's there. Has he been actually seen?

 

[XIIIMPC]

how do you know? cos an itk told you so?

Levy absolutely could have gotten Moutinho if he had really wanted to, and what's more he could have done it earlier. Moutinho was AVB's man (are you going to say otherwise?) and Levy did not do enough to sign him, very simple.

That said, it could be down to Zahavi too. But even with Zahavi playing hardball, short of actually refusing the deal, this deal should have happened. It NOT happening is Levy not backing AVB to the fullest extent. How can you even say otherwise? You don't need ITK to work this out.

 

[WoodGreenSpur]

Next time I get to a game and sit in the west stand upper (it's where I chose to sit) come say hi.

Ohh you're hard say hello to Richard Littlejohn for me.

 

[Stoof]

I have a very strong feeling that people will be eating some humble pie in the upcoming weeks.

We're still a very good team.

Dembele is the signing of the window.

 

[Gib14]

Our squad has heavily improved this window.

But what about the starting 11

 

[John chedozie]

Right goin to bed a bit down but reading scum/Liverpool forums has cheered me up no end

 

[Goldman]

Seems like POTL and Roger Morgan keep their crowns this window. The others info has been decidedly dodgy.

I think the Journalist has gained some respect this window after a pretty poor one previously. I thought he was smoking some pretty good crack when he mentioned we were after Lloris at the start of this window.. But turned out to be a good call.
