The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 6th August 2012

[Original # 10]

I'm expecting nothing. Anything that then may occur will be a nice little bonus.

Strange that JJ has deleted those tweets regarding Leandro....

 

[brasil_spur]

Really can't see Hulk coming. Leandro maybe...

I can't see it either, but i do think we're chasing him.

 

[raymundo-iow]

Ok no worries. And to the person saying that it does not come into ITK, where are all the stories of hulk coming from? Pure speculation. I'm just stating that all things could point to neymar.

 

[brasil_spur]

I can't really see Porto selling both Moutinho and Hulk in one window.

Yeh i agree, and frankly i doubt we'll get Hulk.

 

[Singaspursofsixspence]

I can't see it either, but i do think we're chasing him.

i don't think JJ specifically mentions any names, though , other than the future was briht and that we might be getting both after someone alluded to Ade and Damaio, the way I read it as "it could get better than that" meaning to say it might be better than both options?

He probably deleted his tweets perhaps as a precaution incase he is outed as a leak?

Santos aren't selling Neymar and if they do it will be for £40/50m+

Oh and then there's the issue of wages - he's on more than almost any other player in the world at Santos. They closed down their reserve and women's teams this year so they could afford to continue to pay his wages.

 

[Super Tottenham]

I think any player that spends 2 weeks with Sandro is going to want to then play for the same club side afterwards, add in they have seen how special London is now and whose to say maybe Hulk and Leandro to come in?

 

[ryantegan]

Are we all agreed that Leandro is world class? Everytime I see him play he seems to be better than before.

I was thinking more about that ITK we had from David? was it? that talked about dre looking to do one over Chelsea and that we were after some really exciting players that he couldn't mention - how come that never made it into the ITK RO section?

Pretty sure JJ said how about if we sign Ade and Leandro. Then further commented with that that and that. Meaning Ade, Leandro and (our guess) hulk, Moutinho, dembele etc etc

A very talented up and comer but he's not in the world class bracket for me although that is not to say I wouldn't be delighted if we secured his signature!

Potentially world class. He has been doing very well. Looks a genuine goal scorer. A proper CF. Much more so than Ade.
I said it countless times lastyear. Ade drifting all over the field annoyed the tits of me. He scored a fair few goals, missed a fair few more and played well. But if we had a proper CF, leading the line, being the focal points of our attacks and actually being in the box when Bale is whipping in crosses, that CF would have scored a hell of a lot more OMHO.

Llorente was the one I wanted for ages, but I have been won over by Damiao. He was impressive last season in those preseason games against Barcelona and Milan, and has been very impressive in the Olympics. I know we are only talking 6 games, but its enough for me. In those 6 games I think he has scored 6 goals. £20m looks a bit of a steal infact. Hope we can get it done.

 

[Gedson100]

There were no JJ tweets? It was in last nights Daily ITK thread.

So maybe Ade and Leandro and maybe (via David's ITK that Rob posted but not in the RO) 'one of AVB's old boys' [presumed from Porto as it was in an anti-Chelsea thread]
That's pretty high grade ITK on both counts right there. No Adiepf 1000000% nonsense.

I'd be well happy with 2 from 3 on that list so if we can nail the lot it'd be superb.

Also, I can see Ade and Leandro fitting into a front 3 quite well, maybe Bale, Leandro, Ade as the 3 prong attack. Ade is decent on the flanks and likes it out there, plus both him and Bale (i know, i know, stay on the left) could work either wing.

Not for me, he may get there one day but right now he's a long way away from that level, still raw.

yeah, that one seemed to hint at Falcao

 

[WestBelfast Spurs]

im refusing to get excited oh what the hell yeeooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Keith Morris]

Pretty sure he's already had an offer from Milan. We would do well to beat them to his signature.

That's all gamesmanship, it's all about getting the best fee and wage deal, I think the agent went over seeking an offer but not sure Milan went in for him, and all this talk from inter saying no bids are in, again all gamesmanship, dismissing our bid(s) in the media, we'll see how it all plays out, one things for sure we need a top striker and fast

 

[thfc1989]

"There will be offers, I have no doubt. In the last four transfer windows there have been offers and the board have worked to keep Damiao," Fernandao said to Radio Gaucha.
