The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 10th September

[Archibald&Crooks]

Good morning peasants

Today it is an absolute chore for me to bring you yet another thread for you to walk through whilst soiling it with a generous scattering of turds.

Regardless, here's an updated version of We Didn't Start the Fire. Because I was bored.

Daniel Levy, Hi Jose, Sign a striker, ITK
Not so much, Transfer talk, Make the players do Skywalk
Fans unhappy, they all shout, ENIC in, ENIC out
Some think he's bad, don't be sad, nothing personal against your dad

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
We see ENIC earning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Gareth Bale, Real Madrid, sign him up, come on Danny make him a yid
Can't sign players, nor make a bid, got no money cos of Covid
Lazy players, not a chance, send the fucker back to France
Who's to blame, Levy, cough, no it's not, Who's the DOF

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
We see ENIC earning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Now its time, EyeTeeKay, Just what will they have to say
Devil you know, but of course, Time to flog a different horse
All or Nothing, unknown factor, Levy is an awesome actor
Scripted scenes, several takes, Danny Rose scenes are all fakes
Transfers are hard, can't be done, will we sign another one
And the best bit, by very far, Dele and his chocolate bar

We didn't start the fire
It was always burning
We see ENIC earning
We didn't start the fire
No we didn't light it
But we tried to fight it

Toughest cryptic ever!

I have to say that is quite magnificent! Bravo sir!

Thank you for the kind words. My favourite is 'A Transfer Window Carol'. I wish I had the time and vim to do more opening threads like I used to but I guess i'm suffering from the SC version of shellshock

 

[daveduvet]

Well overdue a cabbagesque cryptic I reckon. Never get them; but there’s something perversely teasing about them... anything brewing @Archibald&Crooks ?

I’m sure A & C thinks there are enough vegetables in this thread already .

Genuinely brilliant.

And at the same time, you have waaaaay too much time on your hands.

Dragon1 tonight on COYS:
our two main targets now are the RM lb and the young striker I have alluded and hinted at several times

obviously rose looks like he has a new home now and we need forth to go Leeds and serge milan

its not just the fees , rose and serge were both on 70-80k a week, them moving is critical to our purchases

some good news, both tanguys camp and Jose have accepted that due to the market they basically need to get on with it this season , we only had 26 million from inter the chances of someone coming in with the 40-45 million in the next 3 weeks are slim to none , player now feels he should do his best to make a go of it at the lane.

All extremely positive. Wish Foyth would only go on loan but we can't have it all.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Ties up with Hercs info on Ndombele. Makes sense. Hope he settles and turns his spurs career around.

 

[cjbyid]

Great news on Ndombele. Roll on Sunday!

 

[JKendall13]

Dragon still beating the Reguillon drum even though no one else is really talking about it. Interesting.

 

[jurgen]

Doesn’t sound that positive if our moves in are so contingent on those moves out, presumably with the outs first as well.

It sounds like are the players are willing to leave though, Foyth is the only 1 where it's touch and go whether we get a bid and he's the one I wouldn't mind staying tbh.

 

[Gspurs11]

Upgrading the RB position was essential this window with LB being something to look at down the line. Filling both in the same window though would be great business and would give us a great attacking threat either side for the lob-sided formation.

Thanks for sharing, great info - a shining light of hope still but if the signings are contingent on selling Rose, Serge and Foyth then that is concerning and worst case none or only one of them moves on then we bring in no-one or bring maybe the striker in during the very last days of the window.

Neither situations are ideal. Obviously its understandable we need to sell a few to get the wages off the books and to free up the squad spaces and if we don't have any offer or really undervalue offers the again its understandable why we/Levy is waiting for more acceptable offers.

However if we've had some reasonable offers already for these three then i'd rather we sold each of them for say £1m less each than we might get if we hold on 3 more weeks if that means we can pull the trigger on a ST and LB say next week rather than in 3 weeks time. The £3-5m we'd have made by holding on and selling late we'd make that up most likely by being far far more likely to finish top 4 having the players in early and meaning Kane and the AM's are less likely to get injured or burntout.

Interesting if LB and ST are now our next priority positions, ST is obv n.o1 and if Sess is not seen as a LB then we certainly need cover for Davies or an upgrade would be nice if possible, Tangy staying at least means a creative CM/extra AM is less needed.

Squeakybumtime over the next few days and week hopefully some outgoings start to get tied up asap, Rose news today sounds like that is progressing so that is positive.

Good news on Tangy, like we've all said a million times if he can get his head down and get fit and firing on form then we have a hell of a player there and it also saves on us having to buy a creative CM.

Dragon killing it this summer with such regular ITK.

 

[taidgh]

All positive, I think. Rose has to leave - for his sake as much as ours - and I think Italy will suit him. Aurier the same - good for both parties.

Don't know all that much about Reguillon, but getting in a highly-rater youngster in a position of need is definitely not a bad thing. If it doesn't work out, there's always a good opportunity to move him on. For me, Cirkin is too young, and Sess not a definite at LB.

The striker is obviously an important piece of the puzzle. After knowing nothing about him a week ago, I'm very excited about the possibility of Daka, but Dragon insists it's someone else. Ideally we could fit him in as well, but hopefully the alternative choice is just as exciting.

Finally, can we please, please get these done in the next week or so? Would be great to have a bit of stability for the beginning of the campaign! Of course, this could be wildly optimistic. Time will tell.
