The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 30th August 2014

[Archibald&Crooks]

Morning

Here's today's thread.

As we go into the final weekend here's a few things that you should be aware of.

The rules are now being enforced with an almost religious zeal.

Now we're at the business end of the TW anyone losing their access loses it for the rest of the window.

Zero tolerance now, we haven't got the time to be any other way.

For the final time, it's YOUR reponsibility to familiarise yourself with (and keep to) what are really pretty simple guidelines. It isn't down to us if you fall foul.

There you go, enjoy your weekend and enjoy the ride.

I dreamt of MS riding a Goat down onto the WHL pitch....... Woke up to the Goat Pooping on MS.

I think we're done, after the surprise of yesterday and the goats ITK I think that's it for in's and it's just a questions of who is disembarking now.

Even though the goat has pooped on ms, we need to remember things change so quick, especially at the end of the window. Got a feeling we are not done yet!

Just woke up to the Goat's bleating from last night. Gutted that we've apparently missed out on MS all because of Townsend.

"zero tolerance" the bloke says...

Remember that the Goat is not one, but many.

As a variation on Goats theme I wonder if we wouldn't let Andros go at their valuation, though I suppose after the start this season Poch is not desperate and may be happy to wait.

Wow I got married yesterday and it looks as though I missed the best bloody day of the year!!! Is it true about another french midfielder? The one from montpellier??

 

[Mr Pink]

Having thought about the Goat's latest, I think BC is probably right. They're over valuing MS, which we knew, but the deal breaker is that they're probably undervaluing Townsend. We probably thought it doable if we could reciprocate in over valuing Townsend to offset the whole deal.

I guess this could change as the deadline draws nearer and they increase what they're prepared to value Townsend at but I really don't think this deal is likely now.

At least there will be no meltdown on Monday as most don't expect this to happen.

Anyway, no matter what happens from here on in, its going to be an exciting season under Pochettino, the most important signing by a distance, and there's a huge amount to be positive about.

Have a good day everyone!!

This Stambouli transfer is confirmed on the Montpellier website. Sorry if this is known & old news already!

Good Morning. Anything else from now on is bonus IMO. I personally think this TW beats last summer as this summer's acquisitions actually were well thought out as they seem to strengthen "weak" areas. Good work ITKs, I really enjoyed the ride.

Good lord, look at that question!

 

[spurslenny]

I'm a bit surprised that we couldn't get the MS/AT deal done tbh. Then again I'm not convinced this deal is totally dead.

I've changed my stance on keeping Townsend now after thursdays display. I'm not sure I've seen a more unintelligent footballer.
But that's for another thread.

Can see mooted medicals for both and an agreement being reached late Monday evening on this one if it's just a question of a million or so quid.

   @jetsetyid @Spursidol Now is looks like MS is dead and we are getting in a cheaper version, are we in for a surprise forward?
   
   
   
2. @MilkyBarY1d @Spursidol we are in for DW but if that falls through we have a few options.

Finally been able to make a donation again, long overdue. Long may the servers run.

I can't help to think that the sudden (at least to us mortals) move on Stambouli is a way to put pressure on Southampton?

 

[Gedson100]

Welbeck. Yes, please.

Would be a solid end to the window.

I don't want to start a debate but look at our DMs and AMs v QPR last week and tell me that last year we didn't but a VERY decent set of players
