The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 28th September 2020

With Manure City Chelsea all loking dodgy this could be our chance

Skiniar & Milik will propel us to tge next level

But as in the oast i think the midget will notbhave the balls to hive it go

 

[sausage]

This. A players value is determined on the open market, not by the numbers in Levy's Excel-spreadsheet

It didn't mention anything like that. We've had something recently (possibly ITK, can't remember, think it was BEN) that we were getting numbers like £4m for Foyth. That's not the extreme you're suggesting really.

This transfer window will play out like they all do. Promises of Brad Pitt to play you in the Hollywood blockbuster about your life, only for fucking Steotoe to turn up

 

[stonebrow]

It's not that it's not coming back in October, it's that no one knows when it's going to end. This could we'll be the entire season, and even beyond

So have the club just realised that in the last few days? We have had a lot of updates from D1 and Herc recently on the confidence of getting a striker and defender in...as much as D1 isnt saying it he sure seems like he is preparing us for the worst.

I understand why, and some seemingly on a kind of meltdown. Firstly, I expect the CH to be concluded very soon. ST is not far behind. Today one of favourite, following days someone else. I said at the onset that this window will be a very creative one, with long structured payment plans deals and loans. Some will say ‘why did we sign a LB when we have more pressing needs elsewhere?’ Good question. If selling clubs adopted the mentality of RM on reasonable terms of payment we would be further down the road.

We know who we want, and very confident we will get the ST we want (profile-wise). Selling clubs are expecting clubs like ours to pay 50% upfront. Not going to happen! Then we agree ‘loan with option’. We believe we have an agreement, only to find out they want ‘obligation’ and not ‘option’. Please relax

 

[yankspurs]

Nope. Sorry. We cant cry skint here. Not when we blew our wage structure out of the water & spent a further 30m on a left back when we had 3 of.

That's the problem he was Juan Foyth of a Skriniar when we brought him now he's Juan Tenth.

 

[Rosco1984]

Can Trix or anyone confirm where we stand on loans, given that some of the more recent info (including today) has said we need to be creative with deal structuring and hinted at loans . I was under the impression that with Gedson and Bale , we have our maximum number of allowed loans, so wouldn't be able to take any more without shipping one out (and pretty sure we can't just hand Gedson back - and can't afford to make him permanent for £40m !).

Its been confirmed on here a lot that the maximum loans is only from other premier league teams it doesn't apply to Bale and Gedson (Madrid and Benfica don't play in the premier league)

Can someone explain this, I’m not quiet understating it. Could just be a long few days taking their toll on me....

Thank you, i must have missed that (or forgotten). That does make me more relaxed now !

I took as 1 day could be Weghorst favourite to join next day its Milik or someone etc

 

[Scouseyid]

It's been a concern from the start. Outs are important as far as completing our business this window.

Is outs as much receiving a reasonable fee as it is clearing wages from the wage bill?

 

[Snarfalicious]

Appreciate the info. I'm still happy with the window, and I think Mourinho/Levy know what needs done. Think we will be fine, and would encourage others to calm down and just remember that in January we knew what we needed to do and OH MY GOD EVERYONE FREAK OUT!

think its an opinion of the ST choice keeps changing?

Cheers Herc, great info as always.

The blessing of our patient approach and smart business over the past few years means we are better poised than almost any clubs to take advantage of this mad week. Levy knows the importance of the ST and CB for Jose, he will sign them. If not, I’ll be the first one with pitchfork in hand, but all the noises out the club and from ITK are positive. Breathe everyone!

 

[VegasII]

We’ll be fine. Just relax.

 

[Japhet]

Transfer window instantly goes from pert and firm the flacid and saggy.

 

[stonebrow]

I took it that way too but dont understand how this could happen, it must be that we are just going for any 1 of x amount of strikers and its how far along negotiations are?

 

[homer hotspur]

I really don't think that Josh King is the sort of out and out striker that we need. We need a specialist front man.
