By God Mystery why aren't you in the negotiating room, given minute by minute updates on your phone under the table so no one notices? I demand to know at what point we are at, I want to know how many minutes we have been talking, what Levy and the Porto Pres had for lunch, how much a pint of Portuguese milk is and what falcao thinks of Dubstep.


Mystery knows someone who knows what's going on, but obviously isnt 'in the room' as they say as Mystery is playing golf with him. We don't know how Levy works, we don't know what flying over there means, what stage the talks are at, but I bet its a hell of a lot easier doing it face to face than getting a fax, having it translated, formulating a reply, getting that translated, sent over, then waiting for the reply all the while people are distracting him with this that and the other.



Going over there makes negotiating a lot easier. Do you want Levy to do a multi-million transfer, which could be critical to our future, by text or something?

Like all ITK, I'm not taking it as gospel, but I'm not knocking it because of something trivial. Plus people have been complaining Levy spreads his bets too much, going in for loads of players instead of getting the one we want. At least this way he's showing some conviction by flying out there.

As for Falcao, I think he would be an immense signing, goal scorer, proficient in the air, good with his back to goal, plus a hard worker. Upgrade on all our current lot, plus could probably work with any combination of VDV, JD, Crouch, or Pav

Well said Sir :bowdown:

No following Mystery on the social network we do not speak off on this thread. Have to say, immage in my head in nothing like profile pic on social network site.

Very disappointed in a 'believing what you say' sort of way :)

I had you down as 60 at least.


lol I felt the same

Here's hoping that Mystery reads the supportive comments on here and continues to post what he can.

Not sure if this whole ITK thing exists for every club to the frenzied levels reached here, but I think people should open a nice refreshing can of Calm the F**k down. No-one has a divine right to anything, despite the fact that we all want the club that we love to start upgrading the players we currently employ.

If there is even a glimmer of a chance that we might be signing Falcao, I for one am delighted, and welcome the updates whenever they come.

This is Spurs COMMUNITY. No need to be selfish - if you haven't got summink nice to say better to say fuck all...especially if people are spoiling it for the rest of us who like to read the info but don't feel the need to doubt it/believe it too much either way........

:clap:

Far too many pricks in here now. Don't know if they noticed but this is an ITK thread, which means your gonna find ITK people who give information. If you don't like it kindly go to Spurs chat or something.

Ive noticed its the ones who don't grasp ITK and take it as gospel that throw a strop and start slating ITK people.
I generally think its them getting angry at themselves for getting their own hopes up and they need to vent at the ITK to make themselves feel above it all.

Why don't all the slaters naff off to Glory Glory, they hate ITK over there. :bang::bang::bang:

edit , i should have taken that word of advice and now I'm a hypocrite . :oops:

I think its too many people hanging too much hope on whatever ITK says at any given time.....things change constantly, take the info for what it is at the time - simples.

Enough bashing! Mystery passes his info on in good faith and everyone knows the rules. You are always reminded to take info with a healthy dose of salt and yet some still manage to ignore that and ruin it for the rest.

Nothing is official until it's on the site, anything in papers or ITK should be treated as rumour and a bit of fun.

Some of you will probably lose your access by the morning :(

Come on now people. Most people on this board respect ITKs. But respect is earned. And ITK respect is earned through passing on information that comes to fruition. The more regularly your information is spot on, the more respect you gain from the community. Which is why PotL was revered so highly before he introduced blue and yellow. Same reason peanut and BEN, and a couple of others, are taken seriously when they post something. Because they've been on the money on a regular basis.

Unfortunately for Mystery, after browsing through his past info in the ITK archives, he's very much missed far more than he's hit. For instance, on the 10th August, we were told that Hutton, Gio and Palacios would all be sold that week, with another two expected to go the week after. And each time a statement like that is made which turns out to be inaccurate, the community loses a bit of faith in that ITK.

I don't think many, if any, people are blaming Mystery directly, just starting to question the strength of the information that his source is giving him. And as far as I can see, nobody has directly attacked Mystery about it.

Lets not let this place turn into COYS, where we all have to collectively perform fellatio on an ITK whenever they post something for fear of being banned from the forum.

EDIT: Although after browsing his Twitter account, he gets a huge amount of nerd love from me for clearly being a Chuck fan.

ITK should always be taken with a pinch or two

I appreciate everyone passing on info, whether I agree with it or not

For me it's always Official Site or nothing's done

Thanks for the info to all who post. It's a bit of fun, intrigue and mystery

Up to about three seasons ago I collated all the ITK, and very little of what was posted came to be, even that from Archibald on SO, who's probably been the most reliable of all over the years. It may well have been the case that the club expected to offload Hutton and co last week. If that's what Mystery heard, and he passed it on in good faith, is it his fault if it didn't happen?

Despite numerous explanations over the years it appears that an awful lot of people have fuck all idea of what 'ITK' means.

Didnt hutton miss the scotland international because of a knee injury?? could be wrong but im sure i heard he wasnt playing? (didnt watch the match) so if he is carrying an injury he wouldnt pass a medical, probably just been put back. :shrug:

Clearly your sources are good as you have been verified. If what you say come's off then great if not you can't be blamed for passing on what you have heard. Thanks for the info.

Hope you reconsider and keep posting.
