If there are itk's on this forum is it really a good idea putting out names that the club are after onto a public domain thus alerting other clubs?
Think this sort of thing has probably cost us new recruits in the past.

Ah, the classic excuse. Like it (y)

Is this why we didn't get Torres and Messi, ffs lads..........

If i was ITK i wouldnt reveal my source not at all.

No-one is gonna reveal the source so might as well close the thread.

Fox told me that Naismith would sign on Wednesday last week.

Naismith signed on Wednesday.

LCAB has told us weeks before the rags got hold of it that Donavan was signing.

If you dont believe that people have contacts inside the Club thats fine.

Also Fox has told us nearly every week who would be playing before teams were made public.

Im not sure where your going with this Mr GrandOldTeam Sir.

This. And this thread doesn't help the information we do get. Do you want to chase them away? Especially when LCAB has been giving us some crumbs of late?

they cant ever really be right or wrong they can they? deals can always fall through, they can confirm interest(strong or slight)
they COULD know moyes wants a player and tries to make it happen, but if they say it is gonna happen and their is a snag, people will come down on them like a ton of bricks, as said earlier fox has proved he knows stuff knowing about team selections and injuries before officially being released

No one asked for the source, just a list of players when the info has been correct, if I'm not mistaken.....

Indeed

And not players after it's been reported across the media (Donovan/Naismith/Gibson/Jelavic...)

The last I recall is 2009.

kenada_blue · July 4, 2012

I 'ITK'd their Mar's so they won't be coming on here anymore

Goat · July 4, 2012

Team selections every week.
Heitinga Deal
Jelavic Deal
Naismith Deal
Billy Deal
Pienaar Deal

Theres a quick list off the top of my head.

I take the point being made, tbf.

By and large it's a matter of people asking our ITKs to guide them on a media story about the club rather than them coming on apropos of nothing and declaring a club interest.

They're basically like the character Deep Throat in All the President's Men: "Ask questions and I'll deny what's not true" etc.

Still a very useful string to the forum's bow though.

Say an "ITK" claims we could be signing.. I dunno... Aaron Lennon, because he knows the club are interested, does that make him a non-ITK when the deal falls through?
