I love grey fox's deadpan delivery, takes us down with the old no more ITK anymore then pulls the rabbit out of the hat with a promise of two signings this week.
Nah, I've checked in my dictionary and possibly doesn't mean promise
I love grey fox's deadpan delivery, takes us down with the old no more ITK anymore then pulls the rabbit out of the hat with a promise of two signings this week.
I think it was simply JJ saying he wasn't our best option, cue the Rode news today.
We're re-signing Bale?The Committee of Leeks?
Ok but at least you threw us a bone, I'm happy to take that.Nah, I've checked in my dictionary and possibly doesn't mean promise
Two areas I didn't believe we had genuine like for like cover for within the squad last year, DM and CF. Greyfox's ITK, if his assumption on the players identities is right, means that these may be being addressed early for a change. If that's the case, I will finally believe or scouting department overhaul has finally kicked in, and the time since the window closed has been spent scouting genuinely attainable targets who fit Poch's demands, as opposed to spending all summer chasing Berahino type players who's clubs won't deal, or randomly chasing Kramer or Bender type players who have no interest in coming.
If, as is suggested, we imminently sign Janssen and Wanyama, I'd be very happy with that. AM with pace would be a nice finishing touch, but less urgent.
Seems like we may be forcing the issue with OM, either Batman at our price or we will sign Janssen.
I love gossip hence why i rarely get much work done in transfer windows, but my favourite Spurs moment near enough was the signing of Klinsmann totally out of the blue, on teletext, I love surprises however addictive ITK is
Agree, what about cover for Dembele and Delete?

Modric was similar. I woke up one Saturday, and he had signed out of the blue.I love gossip hence why i rarely get much work done in transfer windows, but my favourite Spurs moment near enough was the signing of Klinsmann totally out of the blue, on teletext, I love surprises however addictive ITK is
I assume you mean Dembele and Dele?
I think with a natural DM in the squad, Bentaleb will go back to the box to box role, understudy Dembele, with his energy. Sure I saw ITK the other day that said Bentaleb was not leaving. Alli is also an option, we have plus Winks or Onomah against weaker opposition.
AM role is one I I'd like to see filled too, someone with dynamism to stretch a stubborn defence. But with Eriksen, Lamela, Alli, plus Son, Njie and Pritchard settled and available, it's one that can be addressed over the summer. The DM and CF are the critical additions initially. Get them done and we're well underway.
Lol yeah Dele. ( Spell check) Take on board the players you mentioned but I think it became clear as the season unraveled that CM was a real problem when Dembele and Dele were absent
Bit of a side note, but the only reason they are doing this is that they are trying to create an aura of excitement so they can sell tickets.Cheers @Grey Fox
Although not as fun, i'd rather a tight ship and closed mouths than the West Ham board announcing their budget and fucking Jack Sullivan being an 'ITK' puppet for his dad on Twitter.
Unfortunately, it's bee a long time since we've gotten a truly exciting surprise. Most of the surprises are followed by a quick google search, e.g. "How do you pronounce N'Jie?"
Agreed, but Bentaleb the previous season was the mainstay of our midfield. Seemed to lack the tactical discipline for DM this last season. However, alongside a designated DM of Dier or Wanyama, I think he has the power and energy to play the Dembele role.
Update 15, JJ suggested he didn't see us selling Bentaleb.
