The problem is though, just because Thowig hasn't given you his source doesn't mean it's not true and I for one would still like to read such info. Some people won't want to give the name of their source to Mods as quite frankly we don't know who you are. You could be anyone.

Not really, I am MattyP and my username says so. Enough people on here know who the mods and/or RR are. It can also be posted anonymously, if THOWIG wanted to protect his/her source.

no, it doesn't at all, it just means things have moved on.

Brownhead's ITK was a day or two ago, so may have been true at that time, particularly as PC might have been under pressure from his missus to go to Liverpool.

One of the first rules of ITK is that things change quickly.

Erm.....yeah thanks for the ITK lesson mate :grin:

Brownhead claimed that Crouch was leaving due to personal reasons, and that Levy was aiming for the best deal, and also trying to do something regarding Babel.

POTL has 'squashed' the RUMOUR of Crouch to Liverpool, so he's saying the RUMOUR is bollocks, not that the goalposts have moved, isn't he?

I know everyone else loves Crouch to death and all but I wouldn't have minded if we actually upgraded him with someone better, now saying that I don't really see too many options so I am happy to have Crouch if we can't upgrade him but he isn't the best striker in the league or anything just nice and solid, especially away from home, something Defoe could learn from and up his game to make him a much more complete forward than he is now.

Now if Crouch and Defoe are surely staying that leaves Pav or Keane to go if we are to make a change up front, which the more I think about it is looking less and less likely we are going to make a change up front but who out of those two would most people like to see shipped out?

Pav. 1,000,000%

Has the word "rumour" actually been used by POTL or just by whoever posted the thread on here?

Spurs_Bear, it doesn't say it was never happening, just that it isn't now. Please refrain from bashing the ITKs otherwise you can enjoy the rest of the site only for the rest of the window.

Thanks for that nic, nothing wrong with a bit of discussing the two ITK's surely.

Fuck sake.

You might well be MattyP as you username says, but I still don't know who you are. Possibly a touch paranoid, but what's to say one of the Mod's doesn't know the source or could even be the source. From what's been said previously by Rob this site does have some sort of ties with the club. I admit a little far fetched but people still may feel more comfortable not telling a Mod/RR who the source is, but that doesn't mean they are bullsh*tting.

The club contact the forums, its the same on COYS

it doesn't mean they are bullshitting, but it cuts out the ones that are. This is the way its done over a few Spurs Forums and noone has ever had a problem with it.

Exactly this is just getting ridiculous.

You seemingly can't dicuss anything that hasn't gone through the mods first, and you can't discuss the merits of any ITK that has come through the mods for fear of accidently "ITK bashing".

Perhaps i'm the only one that seems to think a forum without posts would be very very boring.

You can discuss the info, but we try to avoid the discussing of the posters because it ends badly, it's the reason we have lost all of our ITK's in the past to other forums. It's just simpler to avoid it. No reason to doubt brownhead posted in good faith.

It's just the way we run things here. If you want to post ITK here, you PM a mod or RR your source, so we can back you up when the idiots start their usual tricks again.

True, but equally there has to be some sort of sense check for ITK's from this site, otherwise we'll be innundated with a whole load of bollocks. Mods have sat on information passed to them in the past, rather than publish it as ITK as it could've damaged the club.

Besides, I've met a lot of mods/RRs and they would struggle to get a job stacking shelves at Sainsburys, let alone have links with the club.

Anyway, back to the ITK.

Big shame about Townsend, I'd have liked to have seen something of him this season!
