But how can you discuss the itk on a player when you dont even know the player?? Maybe its frustration buddy, i feel the club does everything wrong on trnsfers. I wouldnt be so stressed if we actually bid for a player.
We never know if they are solved.So, do we know who it is yet?
I'm all for cryptics, providing we can solve them
So the goat is dyslexic? Well that just makes his cryptic even harder to work out.And in GeRmAn, if yOU pleasE

They achieve nothing, because ultimately someone, somewhere will solve the clue, so the actual ITK may as well been posted in the first place.
Surely it would be better to be able to guess the player easier then discuss THEM as a player. I mean who the hell was blue and yellow?? nothing ever happened, nothing ever explained...But the majority of the ones posted by The Goat haven't been solved...
That was kind of the point in them, rather than to pst something that could be guessed in 10 mins.

wow, The man has spoken! all take note. :bowdown:It is time for some to step back and take a severe reality check. This thread is about rumours nothing more, nothing less. It is very entertaining and sometimes, albeit rarely, a precious nugget of ITK comes our way which proves fruitful. Most ITK is posted in good faith and is no doubt accurate at the time as an indication of players that we may wish to sign. However, most do not get beyond first base and even for those that do there is much that can subsequently go wrong.
Cryptic clues are open to very wide interpretation. What some people do is to think of a player they really want (most of whom are totally unrealistic targets) and then try to make the player fit the clues. They then convince themselves that the signing is about to take place and become suicidal when it fails to happen. The large percentage of us treat the forum as good natured fun and there are some really amusing comments made. Long may it continue and my sympathies to anyone that takes it all too seriously.
We should keep cryptics, definitely.
Just ignore it if you dont like it. Personally I think it's good of the mods to share it when they just get grief for it

It's not that I don't like it, more that I just find them completely pointless.
It's like I've got some sensitive info, I can't tell you about it though, but I can hint at what it might be.
10 minutes later and 'oh, you've guessed right, it was player X we were after'
Pointless.
Not that sensitive after all then was it if the hidden identity of player X is then revealed.
