The ITK Discussion Thread - 15th January 2022

[Dillspur]

As alisdair gold reported earlier we want to loan adama with obligation to buy so we can use funds elsewhere. That’s the key point people are not absorbing. We may not want to use funds on adama to ensure we can seal one or two other targets. We prob have a set budget we need to divide up effectively

Our budget can't be great, if we're trying defer £15m(?) (Assuming a fee of 20m and a loan fee of 5m) until the summer

 

[Ron Burgundy]

So wheres the £60m we supposedly bid for Lautaro Martinez?

We didnt spend it as far as I remember........or was the whole thing just a PR stunt?

You know the answer to this

Some of you could do with reading up on Sun Tzu - The Art of War.

Seriously? Look at this thread, half this lot would have trouble reading a Mr Men book.

Let's not raise the bar too high.

Sell to buy isn’t always about not having funds. It could easily be more that we want are trying to trim a bloated squad before bringing new players in. It really weakens our negotiating stance if clubs know we’re desperate to rid.

We made next to no money from our outgoings in the summer. Whilst spending money on those we brought in. We’re not the kind of club who can continue that pattern each transfer window.

You’re being too sensible and talking sense - that’s not how this thread works ?

Maybe the Adama transfer is not seen as our first priority at the moment, could that be the case?

And if the opportunity opens up again I have a feeling that the offer remains and we are able to still have the 20£ to put into the higher priorities, if we are not able to offload the Ronald Mcdombele, DelePie, and AkillesCalfWijn

Mate, why do you feel the need to come up with such childish nicknames for our players?
OK, they may not be hitting the highs we'd hoped they would but there's really no need for petty name calling. We're not in the playground.

According to local Brighton press Chris Powell was watching 19 year old Lewis winger Ollie Tanner yesterday who apparently trained with us last week. Lots of interest in him were 10 other scouts there from PL and Championship.

Tasty free kick from said game.

Can someone send the link to Harry?

Do you think Theory of Games and Economic Behavior, by John von Neumann would be too much then?

You talking about the Chinese lad?

 

[Hoopspur]

Fake pumas from Bodmin market always did a job

Errrrrr, where was that? As I used to live up behind the Garrison and then Lanivet when we moved out. At St Lawrence’s for white plimsoles maybe?

Lanivet? Posh…

 

[stormfly]

You would think the closer we get to the end of the window, the harder it is to buy decent players because the other club can’t find a replacement in time. Hopefully I’m way off the mark here but I can’t help but think we are already almost out of time.

 

[Marantz]

It wouldn’t surprice me that we would like to get some of our high earning low contributing players off the books first. Alli and Ndombele come first to mind. Price of a player is not necessery the big issue. If that is the case i hope we see something happening soon.

But if we need that £15m now for another transfer that would stupid right? We should just spend all our money now because we can. That’s how sensible wealthy people do it.

Understand he has a lot of deception to his game as well ?

You can sit on your money waiting for the best deal, but if that deal doesn’t materialise then all you’ve done is sit on your money. Sometimes you have to take the risk. Sometimes it’s right, sometimes its wrong. Doing nothing is also a decision.

Now you've got me excited, I'm conjuring some wild unrealistic transfer fantasy that no post hereafter could ever quench the thirst of.
