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...

I did a toting up one window. If the people were telling the truth the donations were totalling hundreds of pounds. I gave up after a while counting so no idea on the final amount but it was over 400 quid.

I was surprised to find out Ivan Toney only had 25 Non-penalty Prem goals in 2 and a half years of Prem football. 81 starts in that time.

Alright if you get them, I guess.

How many goals did Firmino get for Liverpool during their peak years? Or Havertz and Jesus for Woolwich the last 2 seasons when they finished with 90 odd points? Or City all those years when they won the league with no striker?

Judging centre forwards purely on goals these days is short sighted, it's what they bring the team, do they make you play better.

Yeah i mean Kulu score more goals last season than Olmo ever scored in any single season with Leipzig, but sure no one was ever burned buying a player off a hot tournament...

Oh well if Kulu scored more goals last season . And obviously no one ever improved their side by buying a player off a hot tournament either. How silly that I didn't see it as clearly as you did...dodged a bullet.🤭

We always play better when Richarlison starts up top for us. You're right.

It's fucking asinine. When people use it like a deal breaker, it fully tells me they don't understand the game .We need exactly a player like Firminho. As well as a wide player that can beat his man in one on one's.

You're a good poster mate, I hope you don't think I'm picking on you. I'm only reacting here because your post makes out that Mourinho "did a job" on them by targeting a 21yr old!!!

Lol don't worry, I can handle a bit of back and forth.

As for Sanchez, for me it's less about Mou targeting a 20 year old, and more that he targeted the 20 year old when his CB partner was 17.

For me it was a judgement call based on the eye test. I remember the Sanchez signing coming out of the blue and watching a couple of games of his for Colombia, and I recall being unsure about his ability on the ball. Even in his relatively successful first year he looked like Bambi on ice at times.

But it's silly the list of players who have been great in tournaments and go on to be top draw is endless. It's one of those stupid football clichés, it's right up there with "can he do it at Stoke on a cold Tuesday night" utterly meaningless. I wish we have taken the plunge on say JJ Ockcha after he impressed at the 2002 World. Instead I had to watch him for bloody Bolton😭 Its always about scouting in tournament out of tournaments. Due diligence. That Dutch lad the scousers got after the world cup Gakpo is another example.
