Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

When I was bored as a kid I didn't make random shit up on the Internet.

Because the internet didn't exist way back then.

The truth is, he used to write random shit in chalk on pieces of slate and leave them in public places.

at least it's free to read the ITK bullshit these days - unlike 25 years ago spending £10 a call to Clubcall got me in the shit with my parents.

[nigel]

No such thing as ITK. Not publically, anyway.

Exactly this....unfortunately there are a lot of gullible people, particularly on twitter who buy anything as gospel....the desperados who beg those 14 yr old geeks for info that they don’t have until they make it up are the worst...

I thought I’d a nailed on ITK last season when my lads mate said he met Romain Sawyers while working at a house over Dorridge way. He said Romain actually told him Villa are going to sign him.
I posted on here, ready to take the plaudits... My moment of ITK immortality gone 😂

They can talk and plan all they like - just like the game itself, results are all that matters. And so far with a week before the start of the season, the results are what’s concerning. Yes it could all change this week but the facts are that several of our competitors have got business done and we have not

so we should just go out and chuck bundles of cash into Trinity Rd and see who picks them up quick enough and then get them stretching a shirt in front of the cameras?

I get you’re frustrated and I’m honestly not taking the piss, but these are weird times. I’d sooner see us wait and get better deals than steam in chucking money at average players. If we start the season with no signings it will be far from ideal, but you’ve got to believe we’ll get 3,4, maybe five in before the window shuts. And decent players too, not just squad-fillers.

How much to just go out and buy Brentford? Cut out the middle man, improve margins.

Back in those days man went out to hunt, woman stayed back in the cave and kids went out collecting sticks to build fire.

This makes a lot of sense.

[wolfman999]

With all the links, are we trying to promote Brentford a player at a time?

[robbo1874]

I don't see the point in predicting the number of goals scored by individuals because it doesn't really matter much.

If we play the same 433 we did after the lockdown then 10-15 from the defence, similar from the midfield and 20-30 from the striker/wingers gets us to the 50-60 goals that normally sees you safely into midtable.

After all this is a transfer thread about bringing in specific players as well as the specific positions.

This thread is 99%+ made-up nonsense as it is year after year.

as low as that do you think ?

99.99%+ would have been more accurate.

we usually have 1 or 2 reliable ITK posters as I recall. Although I guess with the risk of deals getting hijacked there may be tighter security around info leaking from clubs these days. Even the hacks don’t seem to have much inside track anymore.

Do we? Who?

i don’t know. Maybe trawl back through all the posts on the transfer threads of the last 5 or 10 years? You seem like the kind of person that would like to do that to prove you’re right. I’m just going off memory and I’m sure we used to have a few that had the inside track on things a few years back. The point I was making is that we don’t seem to have now.

Youre totally wrong with that incorrect assumption about me.

[kippaxvilla2]

Going back to PL experienced players.  Newcastle have signed Hendrick who was allegedly offered to us.  If we need that type of player as allegedly we did by signing Drinkwater then why not go for him?  Those types of players shouldn’t be looked down on to get us established in this league.

[robbo1874]

OK fair enough, I apologise.

Now if you'd assumed he was built like an Adonis, with huge muscular form, deeply tanned greased body with long black Herculean flowing hair to his waist, wearing nothing more than a lioncloth, well, you'd be wrong on that one as well.
