The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - DEADLINE DAY!

[dirtyh]

if, and it's a big IF, there's something special in store, makes sense to leave it as late as possible.

'one or two' is a phrase i use to describe a few, not one or two.

got the feeling, probably completely misguided, that tonight could be just insane.

So if HY is right, its ether Llorente and a CM (Barkley or Gomes) or a mystery wide forward (maybe Gray), shame as we could do with all three assuming Llorente is a cert.

 

[CJMurray]

Feel like we would have heard something by now if there is a mystery wide forward we're supposed to be signing.

 

[Stoof]

Why are all of you suddenly going mental?

Please calm down for a little bit on the posting one liners. It's caning the servers.

When you put SC's coverage up against SSN on deadline day there's no comparison and how much does everyone give Sky every month. Gotta go now, SSN have a big interview coming up with the maker of Jim White's ties...

Unless he starts to rival @Archibald&Crooks prematch routine and they have a quick chat with him on the bog before his shift starts this is where your loyalties should lie.

True. Youse need to up your marketing game though. Go with the Children in need approach. ie. Some plangent musical backdrop over scenes of some minor celeb visiting A&C in some ramshackle abode, hunched over a ZX81. Then the big appeal direct to camera, ideally with a hint of tears about to form. Please donate. Just £5 would pay for an upgrade to a ZX Spectrum and a reliable dial up connection.
Ps. The Ayrtons are in the SC account.

Strange as Hercules said if it wasn't Barkley it would be someone else in that position and both him and JJ have alluded to a Winger? Then we have Llorente.

Don't think HY has ever been on the "wide forward" boat that Herc has been on about...

Which could be due to how sensitive that search has been.

HY said this morning "pace is comin". JJ said the same. Herc said a wide forward yesterday. I suspect it is Llorente + WF + maybe Barkley

Donation reminder set for Tuesday when I have the funds. Thanks for all the hard work

1 being Llorente and the other a long shot that won't happen I would say. Aurier, Sanchez and Llorente improves us on the whole so I'm happy with that.

Unfortunately I would say just about. And if walker had stayed so we didn't even need another right back not much at all really. The little bit of improvement is up front, just about an upgrade on Janson. And probably because he has played premier league football. That's what always worries me about the foreign league incoming lads. That and they are very young the CB in particular. I would love a proven EPL wide man with pace. That's all I have wanted all window? Guess we will have Rose back soon that will help.

VDV's name was only mentioned 5mins before the window shut in 2010 if I recall correctly. Nothing was mentioned before, albeit a completely different time before twitter.

I missed that post from HY, my apologies.

What is the record for most signings announced on DLD? Maybe Levy is trying to break the record?

£10 donated! Here's hoping for a wild finale to an already terrific window.

I know what you mean, where else can I find news that random people on the internet are so charitable. Or perhaps that there are so many grown men sexually excited by the prospect of a small bald man signing sportsmen.

Sky just can't compete!

Although they are pretty good are reporting football news and can spell.

Anyway here's hoping for some updates on Larente, Borklay and Demarrieoyeyey Grey.

I've been out all day and just got in so I don't know if this has been posted, but it's relevant to the Llorente situation. ManC have accepted a bid from Swansea for Bony who is having a medical this afternoon.

Mods feel free to delete if already posted. Ta

£100 in the pot

That was a once in a bluemoon transfer though. If there were a wide forward we are close to signing surely Sky or any newspaper would've heard something by now. I'd be very surprised at this point if theres anyone other than Gray/Barkley/Gomes/Llorente in the mix.

Ali Z said (with regards to Mahrez)

No chance

 

[0-Tibsy-0]

At the moment I am still struggling, given the known targets and signings, why we had to wait until the end of the window?

None see particularly top secret or reduced in price...

That was before Serge was announced. So could well be pace=serge
