The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 9th June 2019

Im happy to hear we will not be shortchanged on VJ, getting our initial outlay would be fair enough

A fit Lamela quality player is 50 mil in this market. If he wants to stay then selling him makes even less sense than keeping him. I'd be gutted if we sold him.

I'm open to selling any 2 of the 3 RBs as long as get a better one in.

Shame he’s never fit

At the moment I have zero interest in the Visa ITK but in 30 days it will rise to 36.4%

I love Lamela too but the problem is he can rarely be relied upon. Last season he picked up numerous niggling injuries and couldn't even make the bench.

But we need players with his aggression and tenacity. I can see why Poch rates him!

But he’s rarely fit long enough to consistently impact on our progress over a season. It’s not his commitment, tenacity, technique or utility; it’s his reliability to be these things because of his injuries, and sadly this undermines us because a like for like injury free player would be better for us. If we sold him and reinvested in Lo Celso or similar, we’d have all the things Lamela can offer, but we’d have it all the time. It’s a no brainier

i never remember if dragon1 is allowed in here since hes not as itk as he once was, feel free to delete
dragon1: Lamela is not for sale , three right backs all are though , foyth will be one of the right backs next season and we are in market for another , Jansen willl not be leaving for 5 million ! He’s an international who scored bundles in Holland no team wil, get much change from 20 for him

If only all players values were based on their form from 3 seasons ago.

 

[knowlespurs]

odd how KWP is for sale, only recently signed a long term deal, out of everything that Poch has done i find his use of KWP the most baffling

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

The Foyth info doesn’t surprise me. I see a lot of similarities with him to Sergio Ramos who was also a player earmarked to play CB but began his formative years at Madrid as a right back.

I think it will be great for his development before he slots in to central back and becomes one of the best defenders in world football.

 

[SSC]

Lamela is Poch’s boy, he’s an old school manager and having a solider who will run all day and do the job required keeps him valuable.

Assume KWP was renewed to protect the asset value if nothing else and with VJ we’re hoping some PL team with excess wonga will chuck 10-15 plus performances our way ie Palace, Villa, Soton, Newcastle etc?

I think dragon1's post is mostly opinion.

 

[ackie]

IF Foyth is going to be played at RB then surely we'd need another CB. Maybe i guess it depends on if we sell any of our current RB's or not.

maybe he sees Dier as a defender

Used to be top info on FTL years back

Yeah I agree but as Dov said, not so sure of late.

 

[stewartd]

Used to get his info from Kemsley who was a real big mouth.
Since Kemsley sent packing and as he lives in LA his info is second or third hand at best,but he talks as if he knows whats going on.

 

[worcestersauce]

I have always liked Lamela but he really has had a warm place in my heart since he stamped on fabregas' ankle then kicked him in the head when he was on the ground.

 

[knowlespurs]

was on Coys for a bit as well. i was a mod on there and he was quite highly regarded then think went and posted on FTL instead

 

[Supersi32]

He does....Dier doesn't.

 

[matty74]

He does....Dier doesn't.

Totally agree . For some reason dier thinks he’s a good midfielder! Can’t pass . Rash in his tackles and gets caught out so often

Rash in his tackles hey....prob wants to get that looked at by a doctor

 

[Insomnia]

Imo the problem with Lamela, as good as he can be on his day, is that he's always injured WHEN we really really need him.
For that reason & that reason alone I'm out
