The Weekend ITK Discussion Thread - 25/26 August 2012

[Breezer]

I know it is a long time ago, but still I rate him as a player. He is simply an exciting player.

I think you're digging a deeper hole... Just stop! haha

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

There's a match thread for today's game in the Spurs Chat forum

 

[mil1lion]

really don't see the appeal with Sturridge , just another defoe for me, decent player but doesn't seem to play with his head up enough, certainly won't improve us imo.

I would prefer Sturridge to Defoe tbh. He certainly isn't my prefered choice but I think he'd be much better suited to 4-3-3 than Defoe. He can play on the right or through the middle. He's also still very young and has time to improve.

At this point of time Sturridge is not available for transfer

Chelsea have even less strikers than us....only him and Torres

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

I lost any respect for Spursking when he claimed cane rows were dreadlocks

 

[bgoldie]

I didn't read yesterdays thread so apologies if this has already been posted.

Roger Morgan last night on SO:

Willian getting closer.

I'd hate to get Sturridge, he is the most greedy player ive ever seen, he doesnt seem to understand that football is a team game. That said he does have a decent shot on him!

Sounds like Defoe

 

[mike_l]

If we don't get a replacement for Modric, I wouldn't mind having Mammadou Diarra as a short term replacement. Experienced and an exciting midfielder.

 

[duffster]

How on earth is not Mahmmadou Diarra exciting? At Lyon he was one of the best midfielders in the world.

Not the same player any more AND was never an exciting midfielder one of the best DMs around but not exciting.

Somone mentioned Sturridge.

Liverpool enquired and told to come back if/when they bring in a striker next week. With Moses in their more willing to let him go and if can bring in another forward definitely will.

What price, I don't know but I reckon the'd want at least £12m if not more.

 

[Toela65]

No, this can't be right. They're the bestest team in the whole wide world.

Funny, Sturridge himself has told people, but it had already got out for the journos, that a deal for Sturridge to Liverpool very early in the window was quite advanced until RDM blocked it. Sturridge told the person he was speaking to he was happy to move for first team football.

Similar with Walcott until Kenny got his arse kicked out the door.

Both of these snippets came from Jamie Carragher.

 

[Toela65]

I'd just like some clarification on him and AVB - do they get on? Do they loathe each other? Have heard conflicting reports.

My understanding from my colleagues is that they don't get on, but they don't exactly hate each other. Nothing that couldn't be sorted out with a good talk.

 

[Spurger King]

Oh cool, it's the Liverpool transfer discussion thread again.

 

[Francis Gibbs]

Some transfer ITK levy has now cost us 5 points and counting - getting essential deals done are vital before the season starts the nice to haves can get you excited on deadline day!

 

[TEESSIDE1]

and Moses.

 

[rebrab]

so... there's gonna be some clamouring for a new CM on here I suspect?

 

[Blackcanary]

If that doesn't make Levy shell out for Moutinho, I expect nothing will!

 

[hugrr]

This is what AVB must do next

 

[Carp]

The pressure is on Levy to close the deals for the right players. We need more quality. Imagine a season that features Jenas as a regular player...
