The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 10th August

[arunspurs]

Nothing has changed for a month.

We have 31 players on book. We have to move 6 minimum with 0 incomings to have squad registered with no excess. After 6, more we move we could get incomings.

9 days to go - am only looking at out transfer news as of now. My expectation is we will do 1 CB signing by end of window. Anything after that is a bonus

Can’t wait for Big Ange to wind his window down about 8pm on transfer deadline day, as he’s heading out of Hotspur Way with the parting remark

Yeah mate, the little bald ****s fucked me right over and he’s not bringing anyone else it, me old cobber!!

Without questioning the ITK as its always appreciated. I struggle to see how wages can still be such an issue now that Kane has gone and we have steady revenue from the stadium.

I can't imagine the financial position we'd be in so if we didn't sell kane!

 

[ExpatFan]

If this actually ends up happening I see things getting very ugly very quickly for Levy and he will have nowhere to hide.
How he himself can’t see his own incompetence is beyond me.

Things need to get so uncomfortable for him that he has no choice but to sell.

Another very valid point re Levy...
... and yet another negrep from SC member fishthingycake. It's now so frequent, it's either total denial of reality or he simply must be a family member.

 

[ExpatFan]

Sorry i disagree even though i wish they did. Without going to off topic Their is far too many Levy supporters who will stand by him still.

Bit like Trump's cult followers in the US. I'm astounded that any rational supporter can defend this leech.

I really think this boils down to NDombele.
He is currently our club’s top earner but is nowhere near the first team. Aside from that being particularly galling for every other player at the club we do really need to see the back of £1m a month in wages. Plus the overseas spot.
If he goes that alone must free money for a new signing.
If the ITK on a significant bid going in for JD is true, it does look like we are prepared to spend on a signing.
Wages in for players in this Summer will be around/above Kane’s so any more incomings does likely relying on wages off the books to balance.
I think we probably do need to accept that our club is being run as a business and we will not be dropping £100/150m a window on new players.
Sales for our ‘business’ will be key.
As many have said, that doesn’t excuse that the same players that needed shifting 3 years ago are still here, and indeed we are 10 days to the end of the window.
Thanks again for the ITK and Fingers crossed we can get those players out

Looks like chas&dave is also a family member!
The sensitivity of these BSODL is something to behold.
Bring it on MFs!

We need to shift a number regardless of their wages to recruit anyone. We’ve got 20 senior non-h/g players and we can register a maximum of 17. Levy really does need to start looking at this from a sporting perspective rather than a financial one before the window winds down. We’re also going to be padding out the h/g spots with players who aren’t gonna play. Really need to starting trimming properly.

I wonder if Van de Ven's, Maddison's, Solimon's, Vicario's and Udogie's wages add up to more or less than Harry Kane's wages if more then our wage bill hasn't gone down its gone up because nobody else has left.

Really not for this thread mate. All the off topic ratings will get you your wish and A&C will bring it on.
We’re coming into the crucial part of the transfer window let’s just wait and then fight when the window closes.

COYS!

 

[What Lies Beneath]

Outgoings will happen a lot of it will be next week but 3 are edging closer to the exit hopefully before the end of the weekend .
We have deals lined up when we move out the unwanted . We want 3 players still.

Very many thanks mate, sounds more promising.

 

[ukdy]

Thanks for the update mate. All hope is not lost.

More information from Dragon 1 on COYS

Daniel is more sensitive over wages than transfer fees

incomings will depend heavily on shifting Tanguy who is on 200k a week , Loris 100k and Sanchez 80k a week

get movement on them then we may have one or max two buys

Thanks mate. Hope that we can move at least 3-4+ in all and a couple more in, even if we end with a couple of players unregistered as it's a massive window if so in terms of overall player churn and correcting the mistakes that have built up for the past 3 years.

and pulled back in...

well hopefully only a tiny bit for the most of us. We always have to wait and see if it ever has an alternate ending because we've seen plenty of sequels of this movie before
