The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - Ssshhhhhh - 8th January

[thinktank]

lot of stuff on twitter about moutinho agreeing terms with us (yes i know) just hoping for once there is some truth in it

Don't do it to yourself.

 

[ShaunL84]

Hopefully Holtby will be made the scapegoat for Bayern's demolition job of Schalke...

 

[SargeantMeatCurtains]

Top of the evening, ladies!

Just finished reading Jason Burt's summary of where we stand with transfers thus far. What a downer.

I have a strong temptation to kill myself...oops, better not say that, i don't want to be ashamed of myself for a second day on the trot...

 

[Living Legend Colm G]

wouldn't mind Ben Kingsley as part of our backroom staff though

We had him on the playing staff didn't we?







Oh no, that was.......GHAly

 

[dirtyh]

Cheers for the info GF. But if Levy buys Mouts in a Jan window (especially) then I'll attempt to suck my own cock and post the pics.

He's stringing AVB along on this one imo. Ade out and another striker and holtby in this month would do me.

BOOKMARKED!!!!!

The info from Grey Fox now being put to the twitter lot from a twitter named Inside Tottenham ...he should be called inside the SC forum

 

[chinaman]

I'd be over the moon if we get Damiao and Holtby. Somehow I'm not so keen on Mout at the price quoted as he doesn't seem to score. As it is, both Sandro and Dembele are somewhat goal-shy and we need a MF that creates as well as scores a la VDV.

Not surprised with a name like dirtyh, ya filthbag.

or you could be nice to the rest of us and not post the pics.

News on Wesley Sneijder on #ssn coming up.

This will be news that Galatasaray are in talks its on twitter so i guess they have picked it up.

 

[Mouse!]

So according to most of the ITK, this is the ideal:

In:
Damiao (£15m, 70k p/w?)
Moutinho (£22m, 80k p/w?)
Holtby (Free, 65k p/w)
Alderweireld (£10m?, 50k p/w)
Fryers (£3m, 10k p/w)

Total: £40m, 275k p/w

Out:
Cudicini (Free, 40k p/w)
Huddlestone (£7m, 40k p/w)
Livermore (Loan/£5m, 20k p/w)
Jenas (Free, 50k p/w)
Bentley (£3m, 50k p/w)
Gomes (£3m, 40k p/w
Galllas (£2m, 60k p/w)
Dawson (£10m, 50k p/w)

Total: £25-30m, 300k p/w

Of course I have no clue how much everyone is earning or would want once they got here so I've just made educated guesses.

Would everyone be happy with that? Net spend of £10-£15m, wages down by 25k p/w. An extremely high quality and extremely versatile squad of:

Lloris (GK), Friedel (GK), Vigouroux (GK), Walker (RB), Naughton (RB, LB), Assou-Ekotto (LB), Fryers (LB, CB), Alderweireld (CB, RB), Vertonghen (CB, LB), Kaboul (CB, RB), Caulker (CB), Sandro (DM), Parker (DM), Dembele (CM, AM), Moutinho (CM), Holtby (AM, CM), Sigurdsson (AM, CM), Dempsey (AM, CF), Bale (LW), Lennon (RW), Townsend (LW, RW), Adebayor (ST), Defoe (ST), Damiao (ST).

Hopefully we'd see Carroll and Falque out on loan in the EPL. Maybe Luongo and Mason too.

This would be too perfect.

@Tegan_Jovanka @paddyj2 yes about holtby. If Moutinho doesn't happen Now he will be a spurs player in July #fact


Hmmm...interesting. Not a regular poster so apologies if this guys 'ITK' has been banned yet....

Priceless.

 

[SpursSteveLincs]

Priceless.

Well yes obviously he will be a spurs player in July as that's when he's signed a contract for

Still need another wide player to be perfect imho but that can wait till the summer if needs be

Not a single ITK has suggested this, or even come close to suggesting this may happen. They have said we are trying for Damiao, trying for Moutinho (and will bring in Holtby for a small fee if we cannot secure a deal), if circumstances necessitate we will try for Alderweild. No-one has said we will be able to shift, let alone get money for Gomes, Bentely or Jenas. Certainly no-one has suggested Dawson will leave for 10 million, or Gallas for 2.

So no that is not the ideal scenario from what has been suggested, it is pure fantasy.
