On the back of ITK's not gotten anything right so far SC are launching their monthly rip-off campaign... :D

The Daily ITK Discussion Thread/The Great Big Spurs Community Donation Drive - 9th July 2024

Good morning peasants Here's a nice surprise for you all, it's that time of the transfer window again so fuck the rent and petty shit like providing warmth, food and clothing your saucepans, some things are actually important. HAVE YOU DONATED THIS MONTH/YET/AT ALL? As you all know, SC relies...

Olmo is a walking corpse.

Played 20 league games for Leipzig last season.

He's never played a full season of footy in his life...and he's been around since 2014. Most he's ever played? 32 games. And that was 4 years ago.

Also, the guy's never reached double digits in league goals, despite playing in C-list leagues early on or since he's at RBL, where they score goals for fun.

How so many have got their cocks throbbing at the idea of signing that lad is beyond me. Absolutely ridiculous.

The audacity to call other people wetwipes when you literally can't even bear to read the odd comment about Woolwich's transfer activity 😂 fuck me

Put me on ignore if it hurts your eyes so much to read, I'm not changing my behaviour

I didn't call Toney limited.

It's not what you said, it's what you inferred, if you're claiming you're not calling him limited than what are you calling him when you said this referencing the fact that he's a "lump"?

Like you say, he's perfectly suited to a club like Brentford and their brand of football. Not to say it won't translate but his goalscoring record minus the penalties doesn't really move me. If we just want a lump to be able to hold the ball up,

I asked what he's better than Richarlison at that's worth an extra 40m being spent. Most responses to those questions are he's better at holding the ball up and linking play. Brilliant. And like I said, if that's all we're wanting, there's plenty out there.

Hence why I posted the video which tells you he's a striker more than capable of just holding the ball up and linking play therefore he represents more than what we want and is a striker who is more than capable of playing for us.

I didn't expect a video of lockdown Championship football to be used as some sort of persuasion though, so fair play.

You should be thanking me, it was for the benefit of your own ignorance.

Starks said:
Fact is, he probably isn't worth splashing 40m+ on. When we have about three or four other positions that need strengthening and a striker that's basically got an identical goals to minute ratio in the Premier League when playing as one.

Like I said, I'm not going to be upset if we sign Toney at the end of the window. But I'd be quite disappointed if a fair bit of money is spent on him and we've not splashed in positions that really matter.

Well yeah, for me wingers are priority but we could do a lot worse than signing Toney, I'm not even that fussed if we signed him or not - most of the time I'm trolling when I say bring him in but these fake narratives are a bit grating and only using one sided context referencing his non pen goals and totally ignoring the fact that he played in a team who sat deep and countered and thus doesn't get as many chances as a striker who would do playing in a team on the front foot is just silly.

Like for example comparing his goal tally to Richarlison's is pointless, completely different teams, completely different styles of play.
