"ITK" - "Source" - "Conmen"

[justmeinit]

Can I just say I love coming on here it's a great forum, I think there is a lot of people on here like myself who love to hear any inside information whether that be transfer news injury news or general gossip within the club.
I feel grateful to any info shared by the likes of LCAB or THT or alanball or sheedy and anyone with half a Brain can Suss out the jarg from the truthfull information posted on here.
Just my opinion of course.

I would say close the Everton forum over the summer as has been threatened in the past and re-open it a week or two before the opening game, that way we swerve all this sort of stuff.

We're getting wound up over nothing ere lads

Whatever has gone on, whatever has been said, lets swerve it eh and blame twitter, the tories and Chelsea.

My source said it wasn't the Tories fault.

Your asking us the "community" as you like to refer to us as, to identity and quantify the ITK knowledge by trawling the forum and provide distinct evidence as to there information being factually correct.

Here's the thing, this forum is run by the community, the "Admin" as you call him does a fanastic job, he KNOWS he does and everyone on here does their bit to ensure its kept running to his liking, he wants ads clicking. Done. He want votes on a poll. Done.

He wants specific evidence to support his own desire to out his ITK speculation, why hasn't he posted evidence to support his own opinion instead of ASKIN the "community".

I'm not bein funny here, but the tone of your orIginal post is full of provocation and undermining.

There are some good lids here, you would do well to recognise that, as you love to suggest other forums to them when they (usually) deserve it, this may just prove the final
Straw for some.

I wasn't joking about the first part of this post. He posted quite a few in the know bits about the team line ups, not sure about signings though, which is what I'm presuming this thread is really about

Think it was Shane Duffy's dad if I remember rightly.

Was/is a nice bloke.

Some might do well to remember that I'd like to have genuine ITK posts on here...

I understand what you're getting at lad, and I agree with you to an extent. I'm just saying that singling out people and demanding proof is gonna be more divisive than anything else.

No ITK will be right all the time and I think the big ones have said as much when deals they thought were going well turned out to fail. It would have made more sense to just pm the people in question and ask privately if you want to get rid of the dross.

Tubey.

Stop being selective. Read the naismith thread and you'll find Fox named the day he would be announced is that not sufficient? Surely that exceeds your newly found demanding status as Dans seemingly right hand man?

No, because I also named the day it would be announced!

Naismith, 25, has long been on the radar of Everton gaffer David Moyes, who has swooped to snatch him up for no fee, hopefully ahead of a return to pre-season training this Thursday.

You know who else did? The Daily Mirror, The Daily Mail... in short, everybody, because it was in the media generally. If you knew that Everton returned to training on Thursday and you knew that Naismith was available on a free and you knew from the general media that Everton seemingly had an interest, then you can confidently "guess" something.

If it turns out true, great. If it doesn't, oh well, something went wrong, it was true at the time you said it.

I'm not saying Fox is a fraud at all, not in any way, but this is what I will say - if we sign someone obscure like Stracqualursi this time around and, again, nobody at all reports it ahead of time, then I won't believe GOT has any ITKs at all. Because if you're ITK (which means you have access to information at office level at Goodison Park and/or Finch Farm) then you're aware of legal transactions going on which allow that deal to take place and you should be able to say the name a good 24/48 hours ahead of time, as you're not compromising anything because legally it's in place and it's happening pending a medical.

That'll be the test for me, but the fact nobody knew about Stracq when the offices of Goodison had been setting up the deal in advance of deadline day was all the proof I needed that something was odd.

And I'm not Dan's "right hand man", this might be a popcorn attempt as far as I know, but it's struck a chord with me as it's something I've suspected for a long, long time.

Who's your source's source?

Laughing a lot at how defensive some have got - looking for something that isn't there. Naming names that were never sought.

I'd have hoped this thread would be embraced, an opportune moment to demonstrate just how "ITK" some are in this forum - and that's beyond the obvious.

Granted, phrased to rattle a few cages (highlight the OP...), but honestly? - It needed doing - just check the started dates of our Gibson, Jelavic and Naismith threads.

Sound, someone step up and admit you're Bill Kenwright FFS so we can get on with our summer!

 

[justmeinit]

I can remember LCAB telling us on here about Eric Dier before it was on any website/newspaper

Team News before every single game last Season.

Or was that in the papers?

And if you call people conmen, they are gonna get defensive.

You're actually spot on with that. I remember it clearly because it happened merely days after I joined.

I knew there was a reason I believed LCAB, and you've just hit it.

But surely that means he knows things that the media dont?

Are you just gonna dissmiss this?

Does anyone think the phrase "you better get a bigger boat mate" applies here?

Hats off to GOT. That's some haul he's made.
