    I am very much on the fence with him but I can see the logic to why Ange would fancy him in the 8 role. Your comment also doesn’t note a really disjointed and pedestrian attack as a whole. Chelsea didn’t create anything of note in that first half until one decent Palmer pass and Diop took leave...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 27th December 2023

    When you consider his role in that free flowing Bielsa system and it attracted Pep, I don’t necessarily see him being a Mourinho like signing. My bigger issue with Phillips would be fitness. I think he would do a decent job if he was fit. I would be surprised if we signed though.

    The Deadline Day ITK Discussion Thread - 1st September

    If this window was to “future proof” ourselves for future window against the spiralling transfer fees, Daniel COYS is going to be fun squared next year ain’t he? 😂

    The Deadline Day ITK Discussion Thread - 1st September

    As ever, thanks for the news and I appreciate it. I know it’s passed in good faith. You can almost set your watch to it on deadline day. A hint of salvation shortly and then it’s all up in flames in about 2 hours or so. We really could be on to something if we put a serious strategy together...

    Based on Twitter, I think a virgin said it on a space broadcast

    I think you need to look at Bissouma. You wouldn’t have thought he’d play the way he has after last season. I think Ange would do well with him.

    I try not to stress the fee too much. Not because of the “it’s not my money” line but the fees are nuts. Gravenberch joins Bayern for €18m, seemingly joining Liverpool for €40m without playing or developing. Gallagher, whilst I’m super dubious, would be great in the role he filled at Palace and...

    Well, technically, Madders replaced Eriksen and it was so prompt that Eriksen only left the country, died, come back to life, returned to the country and changed clubs in the country he returned to. So, by the time we’ve replaced Kane, there’ll be been reincarnation and reverse aging so we will...

    Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    I am not against him leaving but I think the notion we are “ok” in midfield is a bit of a red herring. We really need a viable back up, replacement, competition for Biss. I would love Redondo from Argentinos Juniors. He seems to be incredibly classy and I think under the tutelage of Postecoglu...

    This would be incredibly disappointing but in no way surprising whatsoever.

    I don’t think it’s about the club being an attractive proposition to players. Compared to a few weeks ago, you’re right we are. It’s about the vendor. To sell this close to the deadline it is likely to carry a premium because when that vendor is looking to replace they’ll be “taxed” on the...

    A couple of years ago, pre injury, Ansu looked destined to be the poster boy of Barça. Now, this transfer feels high risk, high reward if everything pans out. Given the current deadwood surplus situation, Levy’s stance on said deadwood and the need to recruit better in his end of season...

    Aymeric Laporte

    couple of weeks away from the often fabled “lessons have been learned” and the old “club will look to address shortcomings in January” chestnut. Maybe next year 😂

    I thought he still pulled some strings in an advisory role? 🤷‍♂️
