Genuinely think this guy actually knows a smidgen of what he makes out. Didn’t he say Romero was injured, when he’s in full training today. He spotted a gap in the market and filled it very well. Good luck to him built his brand very well. But I take absolutely no notice of anything the says. What happened to the training kit deal exclusive?

If memory serves - Nuno actually said Romero had a knock from Copa America, and they had to take training slowly.
ETA:
Nuno:
When will Cristian Romero be fit to play?
He didn’t train yet with the group. It's true, he finished the Copa America in the last game with a problem. It’s much better, much better now but we have to be very careful first, not take any chances. He, like all the players, Gio for example didn’t have too many sessions. Hugo. We have to manage a lot of aspects until the moment that we decide to put the player on the pitch. He is here, looks good and when he starts training in a normal way he will become an option.

I don't know what Ally said about the training kit but we have a very good source on that and we expect something to be announced in the next few weeks.

There should be no reason to slander Ally Gold. He is a good bloke, proper Spurs fan. Yes, he works in a media environment whose business model requires a few articles a day, designed to drive traffic to a web site. He is not professing to be a crack investigative journalist uncovering political corruption. He follows Spurs, he asks questions, and he offers his opinions. Its not complicated.
As I said, he comes across as a good bloke, just getting by, like the rest of us. If anyone does not like it - then don't follow him on social media, or click on his articles.

This. He also usually makes a point of saying that he wouldn't tell us anything he hasn't had backed up by two good sources. Everything is speculation until it actually happens in football though, so no one's word is absolute gospel.
Ally is just a journalist and doesn't profess to be a soothsayer. ITK isn't about predicting the future. It's more about giving us a little 'behind the scenes' to fill our boots with some news we wouldn't otherwise be privy to.

I added Romero to my PL fantasy team and that also said he was unlikely to be fit for 2 weeks with a knee injury
Ok maybe I was a bit harsh on the Romero stuff. But I’ve followed him for a long time from the early days when he had a couple thousand followers. I’m sure he’s a lovely guy, I’m just saying he gets a lot wrong. He took his opportunity when there was no “ itk” Spurs journalist and he made himself the top dog. He words stuff very cleverly like fabrizo does. Lots of innuendo without actually committing to anything. But as I said we all gotta make a living, good luck to him.

Mate lay off, without Ally and his posts on this forum 15/6 years ago it wouldn’t have ever become as popular as it did and you probably wouldn’t be able to post here having a go at him right now.

I enjoyed reading his articles on here all those years ago.
One of the posters I'd look out for.
Seems like a nice guy as well.

Was it Ally Gold who said that we definitely had the option to loan Bale for this season as well? I always found it weird that 1 or 2 journos were so adamant about that, and then never clarified, when it became clear that we didn't have that option this summer.
Yep we did but just didnt take the option up I believe.
And with Madrids situation I think Ancelotti happy to actually use him...
