    Managing Director Football: Fabio Paratici

    The policy is to buy low, sell high and has been for years. Yet we don’t have a sporting director to oversee the strategy. A proper walking contradiction of a business model.

    ENIC...

    Great post! I doubt Levy and ENIC share this view. We have been so close to trophies over the last 7 years but any investment as been reactive rather than proactive. Fans will feel like the ship (trophies) has sailed. I wonder if Levy and ENIC feel like the ship (stadium) has arrived...

    Player Watch: Kieran Trippier

    Dembele was always hugely undervalued and despite his body slowing on him, there’s a direct & clear correlation between Dembele leaving and our form falling off the face of the earth last Feb. Trips is right. We should have kept him for that 6 months. Generally m speaking he was a big game...

    Scouting Thread

    Completely agree with this. Very hard to be inspired by either of these signings and obviously won’t take us onto a new level. Would much prefer Ollie Watkins instead of Milik for example. I’d love us to start rolling the dice on some younger talent with unknown ceilings.

    Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    only thing I’d say to this, is how impressive was Eriksen when he had 12 months left on his contract for example? How impressive is anyone when they get to this juncture? I’m neither pro or against this signing but judging one match after he’s been stripped of the captaincy with 12 months to go...

    Race for The Top 10

    Agree with all of that. Keeping an eye on Chelsea too. If they lose tonight (City) the gap is 6 points and they still have to play Liverpool, Wolves and three London Derby’s. I suppose what we’re really hoping is a teams form calamitously falls off the edge of a cliff similar to Spurs, Arsenal...

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    100% this. There’s in fact a clear correlation between Dembele leaving and our form dropping off the face of the earth in Feb 2019. Poch was right, the guys a genius.

    Premier League officially postponed until 17th of June

    Without medical intervention we have no exit strategy. This pandemic will be around for at least a year. This season is absolutely 100% done. I also don’t know how anyone could expect players to play under these circumstances until themselves and their families are all safe. It’s our...

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    After seeing the clips on MNF I don’t want to see him in our shirt again until he sorts his shit out.

    Jose Mourinho

    This sounds like absolute gospel. For example Dier has been very poor in a lot of games under Jose but no one could fault his effort or the fact that he wasn’t trying. The application just wasn’t there.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Southampton - Cup Replay Match Thread

    As a right back it’s ridiculous that Aurier doesn’t attempt to get goal side there.

    Player Watch - Japhet Tanganga

    Quite funny that Poch gets lauded for bringing through young players, yet never gave Tanganga a chance who’s clearly more than capable and would have helped his cause.

    Player Watch - Steven Bergwijn signs for Ajax

    That’s an incredibly rapid front 3 and potentially quite exciting, but probably quite ineffective when playing against teams that sit back. We’re going to heavily rely on our midfield to thread a pass, especially with Eriksen gone and we need NDombele fit ASAP and Lo Celso to keep up his good form.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Pinball Wizard on DEADLINE DAY!

    Not signing Benteke and seeing Bowen asking for a relegation clause at the Spammers is mild humour and consolation for a window that’s seen us sign some serious talent for the future but also lose the Great Dane.

    Christian Benteke

    he’s literally shit at football. That’s why not.

    Player Watch - Steven Bergwijn signs for Ajax

    With our new management we won’t have to wait 7 months for him to get ‘match fit’ for us either. Look forward to seeing him in our colours very soon!

    Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United

    GLC and NDombele have proven they can hack the premiership. We just need them fit and consistent now. Bruno still represents a huge risk.
