The Weekend ITK Discussion Thread 18th/19th July 2015

[Marvola]

Given how tightly our transfer spend is run, i don't think you can underestimate how much £7m adds to our potential spending funds.

You're right, must be at least £5million. Unless I've underestimated it.

Moses is synonymous with the breaking of tablets - I'm going to fuck my ipad out the window if we sign him.

Watch you don't fall - hard to keep balance whilst gyrating on a window ledge!

Must be an app for that.

Probably. I don't even have an ipad.

If we sign Moses we might all be on tablets.

 

[Nanky_1988]

On the subject of ITK as not much is happening and everyones having a meltdown about Moses! Did we ever find out who the argentine player was who was mentioned by the goat? (I believe it was the goat anyway)

 

[belsunz]

Moses? Has 'Arry returned to the Lane?

 

[Larryjanta]

Bunch of football snobs in here!

On the ITK, Suarez would be a very good signing, would prefer McCarthy but seems like he is gettable at a good price

 

[Gedson100]

Just reading up on the Moses story- been a while since school- and this seems pretty apt for us Spurs fans, he'll fit right in:

"After 40 years of wandering in the desert, Moses died within sight of the Promised Land"

Siri's on the way to give you an optimistic rating.

I beleive it was Salvio before he got injured

 

[Lilbaz]

He suffered that in May.

 

[RickyVilla]

I reckon Jasper is dyslexic and was actually talking about Messi not Moses. Too far?

 

[gilzeantheking]

Jasper on SO

In response to "Will Alli be in the reckoning for the first team squad?"


That is a certainty. The noises are he has been shockingly brilliant, and not just good.

 

[@Bobby__Lucky]

I do find it reasonably amusing at the amount of pure hissy fits bouncing around regarding the Moses stuff....

Most of the more successful things the club has done has been against the grain of the fan consensus, imo, and most of the signings that would appease the fans (at the time they were made) haven't exactly been..... well, successful.

That's not intended to be a black and white statement, more a statement that the fans aren't superior to professional decision makers, and perhaps an indication that things might work out a little better than some are presuming.

One of my favourite Spurs players of the PL era was David Ginola, literally a Gerry Francis type of singing, and was signed at 30 years old. I remember at the time sections of fans were against the idea and wanted Ferdinand more (who we signed eventually a short while after for twice the price). Who would have thought that the French Newcastle reject would help us to a trophy and into our Hall of Fame?

What I'm saying is, just because a player has been wasted at Chelsea doesn't mean he is incapable of becoming, or it's impossible he can become, the next Spurs legend. He's got 6 years to grow before he even gets to the age Ginola was when he signed for us....

Mate I don't remember it like that. I was happy at Ginola and meh about Ferdinand. not sure you remember the Francis era to all Ginola a Francis type signing.. Andy sinton; now that a GF typical signing.

Moses will never reach Ginola's level of play, it's just not his game, my onions.

 

[@Bobby__Lucky]

No he is comparing the purchase. Saying the fans weren't excited about Ginola. Which is not how I remember it at all. I remember thinking it was a great buy and liking him at Newcastle.

If he'd have said Sinton I would have agreed.

Just said exactly this, wouldn't have bothered if I had seen first, but agree totally with this.

 

[Nanky_1988]

Could it be possible were going to buy 2 central midfielders and loan Alli out still? I know hes apparently been brilliant in training but would playing every game benefit him more?

 

[gilzeantheking]

bit more from Jasper on SO

In response to the Sun Journo Charlie Wyett saying on Talksport earlier that we were struggling with targets because we won't pay the wages i.e. for Ings

I am personally happy we never signed Ings. However, it is nonsense what the guy is saying. As far as I am aware, which may not be a lot, we matched everything and as well known via media offered larger fee.

If we have lost targets it is for other factors. We are not a top four team playing in the CL. I am still confident that overall we will bring in quality overall. Told we have an extensive list and confident. Again told DM sorted. Does not mean will be announced shortly. I take it that they are very confident.

His time at MK Dons gives him much more experience then your typical 19 year old. He's ready to step up now, probably much more ready than Bentaleb was when Tim chucked him in the deep end. He's going to get plenty of games starting out in the Europa/Cup side.
