The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY

[Stoof]

It's got to be Suarez - reference to biting (jaws) and handball (can you handle it)

It's not.

 

[Shadydan]

Even if no one else comes in we have to be ecstatic with our window. Been such a great summer!

 

[CockOnBall]

After yesterday, Liverpool will feel they've got a realistic chance of top 4 this season. Selling us Suarez would pretty much end their campaign before it's even started.

I don't think we'll sign anyone major today. On the last day of the window, clubs tend to overpay on quality or panic themselves into gamble buys (ref: Dempsey). We don't need to do either.

Shaw was on the bench on Saturday.​

I know him and he's a Chelski fan. I said would you join spurs he said, "Of course I would, but I'd rather play for Chelsea".

How much do you reckon he would cost? I know people love big names, but this lad is going to be a top class player I think!

 

[Gbspurs]

Spoke to someone yesterday at the club, same person who told me Eriksen was a done deal and he was pretty sure that all of our business is done, hate to disappoint, (this next part is my opinion >>) I mean anything can happen on deadline day but it looks unlikely to me.

I'm no ITK at all and I'm also pretty sure our business is done. If we sign anyone it will be yoof.

 

[GetSpurredOn]

Take a look at what we have now compared to end of last season. How can anyone fail to see we've improved hugely.
Conflicting ITK out there at the minute. Some say all done, some day two still to come in.
Even if all our business is done, we still have Ekotto as LB and Ade as an alternative up top. I him only if those two (or Defoe it's now being suggesysd) leave, will we add further.
Either way, I'm happy with what we've done.
The one bit that bothers me, is Ince. Not a player I believe we need. But, potentially only way I can see it happening to up the quota of English players, in the same way City signed Sinclair last year. Just doesn't seem likely though.

Coentrao/Pereira and Damaio/Rodrigo.

 

[Dannyspur]

Frazer Campbell, Clint, Raziak, Saha - I just hope our last day striker is a bit better than these

 

[SamR]

I wouldn't be surprised to see BAE, Sigurdsson and one of Defoe/Adebayor go today based on the outs itk.

I hope we keep Defoe. Works hard, less wages and been with spurs for ages.

interesting day - i think our ins are done - we've been here before with last day saga's! I think its always a 60:40 chance against us with time the issue.

 

[Falconer]

Personally think it will be quiet today with no 'worldie' names, maybe a couple of youngsters. Yesterday didn't mean anything, the team has not had time to Gel, Vlad & Eriksen were not even in the team, Lamela has trained maybe once. Yes we need to be more creative but IMHO Erikson & Lamela will resolve that, Vlad & Kaboul will hopefully shore up the defence.
We are a bit weak at LB, but have some options, the Striker role ATM is covered by Defoe & Ade (Can't see us spending loads on what will essentially be a back-up). In essence the team as a whole is much stronger than last year
Always really knew Bale would be off and Im just happy that we have reinvested the money in new players (and good players at that). If you had given a spurs fan the list at the beginning of the window explaining Bale has to be sold as he will strike but these are the players we will bring in no-one would of believed it.
One thing I think has been overlooked with regards to the money, yes we will maybe break even but we need to raise circa £300m ourselves to allow the stadium to be built, maybe this is where the extra Sky money etc. will go?

So few players I can think of that are genuine "jaw-dropping" type of purchases that fit into the top drawer striker who can play across the front 3-4. Hulk seems a bit of a stretch according to that definition, I can't see us going for Suarez or him being interested, which presumably leaves Benzema and Falcao (very unlikely, I appreciate).

 

[muppetman]

Praise the Lord that it's not the buck toothed Uruguayan.

 

[L-man]

Luke Shaws said himself he's staying as he wants to be loyal to the club that's given him a chance. Only signed a new 5 year deal in July

 

[WalkerboyUK]

I see it being a quiet day in terms of the incomings.....

 

[mil1lion]

My guess is Benzema and Hulk is the alternative.
Coentrao has to be the left back.

I would be gutted if we sell Defoe over Adebayor.

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

Falcao.
Goodnight


















Jokes.

 

[Wirral Spurs]

Massive mistake losing Defoe.

 

[SpursDave88]

Onions and in the wrong place, but Rose is very average so I really hope this mooted deal for a fullback goes through.

 

[CockOnBall]

If Barnett can drag himself off a beach, I wouldn't be surprised if Sigurdsson (another of his clients) left today.

 

[sweyid]

If Coentrao's price tag is to high, I'd like to see us try for either Luke Shaw or Ben Davies.

 

[sundanceyid10]

I dont think Defoe will go.
