The Blue & Yellow ITK Bonanza Thread

Grey Fox on SC:

Been told one incoming immenient and second not too far off. Yes I know I said 2 by the 8th, but can't help the fact Villa is a dingdong!. Also should see at least two outgoing by the end of the week.
As an aside I haven't been told anything about Benny going and the suggestion is either Naughton or Rose will be departing.

I reckon Naughton might be off (possibly even to Villa) and we'll promote Smith. Smith at RB sounds more ready for promotion than Fryers at LB anyway.
 
His recent form his Villa and the random Croatians hasn't been very promising though.

Because the moves fell through? I don't think he ever said they were done, correct me if I'm wrong(I know you're desperate for him to be wrong re. Benteke).

It is safe to buy your number 11 shirt for next season

Mr Lewis has opened the check book.
 
What makes you think Chadli? Benteke seems nailed on though.

all the talk about us being close etc. i dont think we've really been linked with anyone else so solidly as much as Benteke and Chadli over the past week and half so i imagine it is them unless it's Benteke and someone out of the blue.
 
If the rumours/ITKs are right and we end up with Paulinho, Chadli and benteke as our summer signings then it'll be the positions I wanted and would certainly makes us stronger than the season just gone. Add in avb having a full pre season with the squad and kaboom back, we should be quietly confident of going better than last year

I'm becoming resigned to the idea. I don't not rate Benteke, I just don't think he's what we need to solve our scoring at home problem.

the 2 i imagine are Chadli and Benteke?

I'm quite against Chadli, particularly if we do get Benteke. Our front 6 then would all be enormous, powerful, quick players, with not a through ball between them. As above - we'd be superb on the road, but impotent at home or against teams who defend deep.

We need someone like Bernard, not Chadli.

I certainly don't think Chadli is that guy who will cut teams open with a splitting pass but if he's only £7m and we can afford it as well as being able to afford someone creative than I am all for the deal, it's great depth.

We still miss that creative guy though.

Bernard said weeks ago that he wouldn't move till the end of the Copa Libertadores (which is quite soon). Same agent as Paulinho too.

I am all for it. I'd love Bernard here, looks like the exact type of player we'd love here and someone we badly need.

That sounds like a Pienaar or Dempsey signing though. You shouldn't need to try and reason transfers. You should be 'fudge yeah' about them.
 
Someone asked Jetset on Chadli, his response was "you'll have to wait a week". People seem to think he's saying we're waiting on Bernard(as the Libertadores ends in 10 days).

We do indeed need that creative guy. I would think however that our full-backs and wingers would at least feel that it would be worth crossing the ball into the box in the air if Benteke was on board. More than 15mfor hi, would hurt me too, but he does attack a cross in the air and does bully defenders. Perhaps that through-ball against defences that sat deep might not be quite as necessary, as we might get more joy from crosses into the air anyway.
Well that's my positive spin on it anyway.
