The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Evolution of ITK - 30th January

[hugrr]

DL is clearing the decks as he says we have a lack of money. The boys to QPR are going cheaper than cheap and are better than what they have. H can trust them apparently!

Now there is 2 ways to look at the clearing the decks scenario:
1. We genuinely are skint and have to balance the books as we have no money as DL keeps saying?
2.He is clearing the decks for an impending arrival or arrivals?

You go with whatever you want for tomorrow depending on what floats your boat, or if you are a glass half full or half empty....

I'm keeping schtum as i honestly dont know at this point in time!!

enjoy x

Cheers for your input as ever JJ!!

Best case I reckon we can get between £5-7m in total for Hudd, Bents and Jenas. With wages saved it should allow us to make room for a signing unless as JJ suggests we actually are skint.

JJ has 4 months left on contract, thus hardly saving money on either option really as he'll be a free agent, Bentley a year, so wages a save I guess...but I refuse to believe we are skint, in fact that is utter nonsense.

This time tomorrow our torture will be over

 

[etchedchaos]

I'm on the side of glass half full in regards to clearing the decks. Wages have always been our sticking point and that's what we'll be shifting, serious wages.

 

[Jamturk]

Did'nt we do this last January?
Sold a few then got a couple of dodgy loans in.

Tomorrow in levys head goes like this:

AM sell players
PM buy players.....or run out of time doing so

We're Spurs. Out torture will never be over. I think we must have all been complete ****s in another life.

always thought the skint part was no more money for wages, and with Ade in, Bale new contract it was possible.
Just not sure we will get anyone in, might have left it too late

 

[beats1]

Is Simon Dawkins worth bringing back from the MLS to give us another option up front?

I hate to break it to you but he has been back since November iirc or in reality January 1st

That depends on whether there are technicalities with the fax machine/office clock

Yep...spot on.

Apart from the words you used.

 

[Jamturk]

I Don't know why I bother with the first 29 and a half days, it always comes down to these last 36 hours.

And yes it feels like christmas eve as a kid.

 

[ohwhenthespurs]

I just want Damiao. That's it.

I really hope we can get him.

How's that even a possibility? Unless he's in a car on his way to the airport now, it's a logistical impossibility, quite apart from the remote chances of us laying out the cash on him.

 

[GetSpurredOn]

ITK tonight is telling us... potentially...
Perreira -> Ekotto
Diame -> Hudd
Son -> Jenas
Negredo -> Bentley


Good squad refreshing, I'd like to see it, but is it not maybe a bit too much change??

 

[CoopsieDeadpool]

Work finished..
Day off 2mo..
Something's got to happen...
Hasn't it ???????

complete Goons ?

 

[spursfan77]

I think he must be a visitor!

@SamWallaceIndy: Harry Redknapp trying to sign David Bentley, Jermaine Jenas (until end of season) & Andros Townsend (loan) from THFC, More @Independent soon

JJ's contract does NOT expire in the summer.

Let's see if he tries to claim it as his exclusive if it happens!
