    With Adebayor pretty much signed and Defoe most likely on his way once another striker is signed. In AVB's 4-3-3 that gives us Bale, Adebayor, Lennon and GDS (If he has a good pre-season I am warming to idea of him being competition for Lennon on right hand side) as options for the front three...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - THE THANK YOU FOR THE MUSIC EDITION 13th July 2012

    I think Huddlestone still has a definite part to play next season. A lot is said about pace but the speed at which he can directly switch the play is sometimes better than a player running with the ball. Switching the play quickly opens up space for the likes of Lennon and Bale to exploit...

    I think he will be a replacement for Kaka. Not sure Modric will be necessarily first choice but Kaka was involved in 39 games last season. Assume the same for Modric.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - THE KARMA CHAMELEON EDITION 11th July 2012

    I believe we will be paying Adebayor £150k a week. At the minute it looks like we are willing to pay a player £100k a week with the new Bale contract and to make up the £7.2m that Adebayor would be losing (assuming he signs 3 year deal) we simply pay him that sum spread over 3 years. Considering...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - THE KARMA CHAMELEON EDITION 11th July 2012

    He is a fantastic young keeper from what I saw of him last season on loan. However, considering we are looking refusing to do business with Chelsea regarding Modric they will not sell him to us. Rules out Sturridge too.

    If Madrid have bid £40m then that is very good money for Modric. I would have taken just over £30m if it meant not selling to our rivals in Premier League. £40m could bring us in Moutinho and a pacey winger as back up for Bale & Lennon and we haven't spent any of our budget. I can see this...

    Rafael van der Vaart done

    So Schalke are not in for him. The papers think, "hmmm who can we link him to then, oh i know his ex club". Hamburg, a club that came like 15th last season, have no money, have no future at the minute and have tasked Arnesen of finding young stars. Mrs VDV may want him to go back to Germany...

    Rafael van der Vaart done

    If VDV was in a middle three with Moutinho and Sandro would he need to track back? We'll be on the front foot for 90 minutes anyway, no need for tracking back ;)

    Joao Moutinho

    There is an assumption that because we don't see Moutinho on a weekly basis somehow we can't imagine he will be as good as Modric for us. Porto fans would probably think the same if Moutinho was leaving and Modric was coming in as replacement. In what I have seen of Moutinho over last few...

    Hugo Lloris

    Lloris is one of the best goalkeepers in Europe already. He is only 25 so will improve as well. If it wasn't for fact all the 'bigger' clubs seem to sorted in terms of their goalkeeping position we would have no chance of signing someone of Lloris' stature. He would be an incredible signing.

    Twitter Transfer Talk

    I don't think it will happen at all. However to be fair, we could afford the transfer fee as would be part of Modric deal. Higuain is only on about 100k a week, same as Bale and Adebayor, so we could afford wages too. Yeah, if he was announced as leaving then Man U, Chelsea, Juve...

    Brazil probably heard from Graham Roberts regarding the investment.

    Transfer Twitter

    Whether Talksport were gagged or not it doesn't change the fact that Brazil didn't explain what he was on about. It can't have been AVB as pretty everyone knew that was happening. Sigurdsson isn't exactly "blow your socks off" news and Vertonghen has been on the cards for weeks. He has heard...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - READ FIRST POST 4th July

    If one of the German sides linked offer £20m for VDV then I can see him being sold. VDV turns 30 next year and his price will begin to go down rapidly. Personally I would not want it to happen. However it all depends on how much there is to spend. If the money is required in order to go towards...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - NEW MANAGER DAY 3rd July 2012

    I remember reading about this at the time. Can't really work out why AVB leaving to manage a club would mean him falling out with Mourinho. As Mourinho did exactly the same thing himself when starting out. Perhaps due to the ageing players at Inter, Jose was simply protecting AVB from getting...
