People need to stop questioning ITK validity and stop bashing them.
Simple rule - Take every ITK with pinch of salt & dont get obsessed with info
Key in ITK is Bale signing new deal. Club captaincy is just a negotiation chip. If this is what it takes to keep Bale, so be it. Its not a stranger we are talking about-Bale has been part of us for 6 years.

I think Bale would make a great captain. And if that's the sort of thing that he wants then that to me suggests he cares about football more than money.
Bale new contract and Soldado signed by the end of the week?

Really great point. If ITK is to be believed here, he will not be short of a few bob either.

Well if we were to sell him, I am sure you will then care when we are playing on Thursdays or less every other week with all our best players wanting to leave.

The club captain sends the complete wrong message out for me, I don't see how you guys are justifying it - Because he's our best player?
You think the other players won't be thinking what the fuck, like they don't see the speculation and rumours.
If he publicly came out and dismissed the RM rumours for this season at least; I'd be more inclined to give him it.
Giving it to someone who 'apparently' wants out in a bid to appease him isn't what being a club captain is about, symbolic or not.

Well said, we lost Billy White over the weekend, we're also close to losing JJ. When will people stop?

I just DM'd him asking and he said "possible" about bale signing a new contract and being made club captain!
Come on dude, clearly he didn't want it shared, hence the DM.

honestly don't see how people defend him on a footballing basis.
i know with kaboul out he is the natural and first choice replacement but he is just simply not good enough if we want to push on and finisih top four as a minimun.
the fact that when we wanted to sell only QPR showed serious interest (that i know of) tells you everything.

We've also lost Archibald, one of the all-time greats, but not due to bashing but because ITK gets disseminated so quickly that it's not safe.

Yep. Bound to happen obviously but I miss some of the old names. Peanut, for his ITK but also his quick temper and snarky attitude. Arch, BEN etc.We've also lost Archibald, one of the all-time greats, but not due to bashing but because ITK gets disseminated so quickly that it's not safe.
We've got some cracking newer ones though and a few of the older faces still about.

Oh geez... just 'cuz he has the title, 'club captain' doesn't even mean he'll wear the frickin' armband on match days. It's just a title. It makes his name synonymous with the club. Think of Club Captains in baseball... like Derek Jeter with the Yankees. It's an endorsement... a nod by the club to the player how important they are.
That said.... I could totally have it wrong. Does it mean if you have that title that you are always captain on match day?
Even if that was the case, it's a bit irrelevant. The generals on the field will always take over... armband or not. The Dawson's, Vertonghens, Lloris', Kaboul's, Parker's, etc... they will continue to do what the do, whether or not they're wearing a bracelet.
I just don't think it sends out any other message other than stating emphatically, that this dude is the most important player in the club. Period. And ya know what? I'm A-OKAY with that.

The worst thing to happen to ITK was twitter. Million per cent.
