The Weekend ITK Discussion Thread - 4/5 August 2012

[ajspurs]

Right, I don't mean to sound like a twat but I've realised over the past few days that sometimes ryantegan will post something and it will be followed up by comments like 'stop teasing' 'oh do tell...' etc. Now, I'm only reading ryantegan's posts as opinion as I didn't think he was in the know anymore also so ryantegan is there actually any hidden meaning to any of your posts? I personally really haven't thought so but it's just some responses from others that have me asking.

EDIT: Just seen post above, thanks

I've got an ITKboner.

 

[ryantegan]

That's a big "if" by the way.....

For sure

 

[elDiablo]

thinking about it could see

Dawson,Lennon,Hudd being the ones in trouble and maybe rafa?

Rumours as well that Gallas is not good enough for the high line which i think is a load of shit hes our best centre half next to kaboul!

Unpopular departures could well be Dawson & Lennon both fans favourites? and we have all been excited about Huddlestone coming back if he was to leave we could be sad if you add as well that defoe may well be off!

Dawson,Lennon,Huddlestone,Defoe,Van Der Vaart,Gallas

Could well be two of that lot? it would upset a lot of us i would be most gutted with Van der vaart or lennon going

Could be, but i haven't given this much thought, but wouldn't this hamper our homegrown ratio?

 

[mil1lion]

I do not think Rafa will be going, i think Hudd will be gone; he just didn't impress in the trip to the USA.

Ha, a player who spent a season out injured didn't impress in his first few pre-season games? Yeah we should sell him for sure

exactly what i was thinking but if we let lennon go replace him in the squad with townsend.....dawson with caulker....huddlestone with livermore.....defoe with kane and so on we could still get it quite easily

 

[We'llWinThePrem]

heard it all before....

 

[Blake Griffin]

That's all I'm trying to transpire. There is obvious ambition. Don't all be doom merchants. I know I can't check news with Harry like I have done the last 4 years but I trust JJ and I trust his enthusiasm.

He has told me who we are looking at and all the sensible amongst you will appreciate I can't steal thunder and blurt out names but I can tell you that there is no doubt in anyone's mind, these players are world class.

And to sign them all would cost upwards of £90m in transfer fees alone.

We would need to be brave.

Let's just wait and see.

so to be clear ... it's safe for me to get falcao 9 on my away shirt yeah?

true and i think siggy counts as homegrown, and townsend and caulker are under 22 so dont count, so we should be fine.

id be gutted if lennon left to be honest. Under Harry he learnt to express himself imo, so maybe under avb he may kick on again.

same with dawson and hudd really.

 

[gazzeh]

For sure

Is it at all possible that we will sign all the players? Or are there a number of targets that operate in the same position, i.e we are looking at Damiao, Falcao, Llorente, but will only choose one?

 

[Breezer]

Falcao 9 on your home kit and Damaio 9 on your away kit lol

Thats some serious squad downgrading right there....no likey!

 

[ajspurs]

I'd be shocked if we let Lennon go. Replacing him in the sqaud with Townsend is a horrible thought too.

 

[gazzeh]

Caulker and Livermore could potentially be upgrades with the new system AVB will bring. Can't see Hudd pressing quickly, and can't see Daws chasing down Theo Walcott playing our high line!

 

[Mr Pink]

Could be Dawson who AVB is attempting to shift?

 

[ikky]

Sorry meant to click agree but that thumb clicked on disagree

 

[SpursTillIDie1882]

Wouldn't it be nice to sign Players from the best footballing countries in the world?

I think that's what we are trying to do. If we pull it off then arsenal can fucking do one. Even after signing the players they have

aka .. BRASIL!!!!!!

 

[HappySpur]

aka .. BRASIL!!!!!!

Not for nothing.....but that would be Spain these days.

 

[windlespur]

I'd be shocked if we let Lennon go. Replacing him in the sqaud with Townsend is a horrible thought too.

Totally agree, lennons pace will suit the new style of play. He does need to deliver this season more than ever though.

 

[Mr Pink]

Leandro and Hulk? Why do I have that feeling after Ryan's posts

couple that with JJ's outgoing (possibly VDV) that wouldn't go down well...
