I'm sure I remember the mods once telling you all off for being nasty to us poor Aussies in the cricket thread.

Well MadridSpurs said Soldado is signed and Fred is the replacement yesterday...

So, do you have a 'man in the stands' whispering into a sleeve microphone?

Any chance the mods moving all the itk crap to the appropriate thread?

And it's not like Spurs were going to upstage their glittering performance today in Hong Kong by announcing a transfer signing during or immediately after. It's all about information management to maximize copy inches and air time.
We should fudging get Fred. Fraction of the price of Soldado and a year older

Would you have said that before the Confeds?
I'm not going to pretend to have seen Fred for the last few years, but I know he's always been a good finisher. I in fact thought he was a lot older than 29. But no I probably wouldn't have said that before the confeds. But he showed enough for me

I actually have a great deal of respect for Mumorn, he is an intelligent and articulate poster.
In a perverse sense, I hope he is wrong about the Soldado transfer? The reason I say this is if he is right, those closest to the club might put two and two together to work out who his source is, especially after the accuracy with which he predicted the Chadli transfer. He would then have to be ultra careful with the information he posted on here?
(However, the Spurs fan in me, sooooooooo wants him to be right!)

I was just saying, I hope there's some truth to it. MadridSpurs is well respected, I don't really care what you think.Your argument is always the same, the media said this on that day blah blah yet I bet like most you're always dismissing the media as full of crap and speculation too so you can't have it both ways. You're so against the notion that anyone outside football ever picks up football info it's hilarious....

I've always been baffled by those who are obsessed to be itk. I find it quite odd that there are grown adult men who seem to crave acceptance and attention from other grown adult men (mostly strangers they will mever meet) by typing words on an internet forum. Its a funny old world.

Good call. Either will do me. I fear we will get neither though.

by who? i don't even know who he is. All i know is you stated he mentioned something yesterday to which i replied the same thing was mentioned a week ago by Valencia fans who think it's a given he's joining them. I didn't think you mentioned that Madridspurs mentioned it yesterday simply to state that you hope there's truth in it but if you say you did then who am i to argue.
Ok, well I guess this is a pointless debate for this thread and I do agree with your opinion of ITKs in general. There are definitely some good ITKs out there mate, but its a pointless argument - we all believe what we want to.
Anyway, I hope what Mumorm and a couple of others have said is correct and Soldado is ours. Him turning up for training doesnt mean anything, he wasnt even dressed for training....
There are some real ITKs out there and they're easy to spot.
Firstly there's nothing cryptic, there's no wriggle room, no "blue and yellow" to be interpreted as any two of two thousand players. They make a statement of fact like Mumorn's Soldado post.
Secondly they say it before the press does. Any old POTL can repeat what a journo is saying. If I could be bothered I'd ring up a friend and find out what the Mirror are printing tomorrow - that's not ITK.
Thirdly they are right. Saying 100 different things and being right on 2 or 3 doesn't count, they have to be right the vast majority of the time.
Not much to it really.

It's oft difficult to say things before the press though, simply because the press make up things far before things actually take place.

So this thread has now deteriorated into an argument about arguing...=D>
No it hasn't.
