That's what I was wondering? He's not in the Log.

He tends to post when a deal is getting close to being completed and has been pretty spot on in that regard. Alot of his info doesn't get posted as it is often along the same lines as what others have posted, but that doesn't make his word any less reliable.

Of all the ITKs I'd say he has the best track record.

It does add up. Most 30m+ players want wages of 100K which we can't afford. the transfer fees are not the problem it's the wages.

Buying 4 players of 10m as a replacement for Modric would not make our team stronger at all.

Spot on. We have the money, we just don't have the absurd wealth to up everyone's wages. Adebayor coming in on the money he's on is likely to cause other's to have their wages upped over the next few months, IMO. Not to the £180k or whatever he's actually on, but they will take not of the fact we are paying him £85k.

ValYid is really reliable then?

IMO, as reliable as they come.

I have followed his ITK updates for a few years now, way before he started posting on here, on bbc606.

He only posts solid info, no bullshit, no cryptic. Just straight to the point truth.

Called many many many deals way before they even hit the media, in some cases when we were not even linked with the player.

Think he was one that stuck by his word that "corluka was a spurs player" even when he was still playing in a city shirt.

Yeah ValYid is very good. My spelling, punctuation and grammar today is not.

Do you know if what his agreed salary will be if we make loan permanent?

For those that missed it, Disconosebleed's ITK from earlier is now at Update 401 after a slight numerical snafu.

Sorry, no idea. Not even sure if that has been agreed? I'm assuming he'd still have to take a pay cut though, even if won the league this season!

Apologies for the laissez-faire approach to thread numbering currently employed in the RO forum. A minor oversight with disconosebleed's info earlier and my inherent bone-idleness at fixing the mess is to blame. Hope it doesn't ruin your enjoyment of this most frabjous, exciting day.

ValYid is the most reliable of all the ITKs as he only hears things at a very late stage, so deals are pretty much complete by time he hears.

He tends to post when a deal is getting close to being completed and has been pretty spot on in that regard. Alot of his info doesn't get posted as it is often along the same lines as what others have posted, but that doesn't make his word any less reliable.

Of all the ITKs I'd say he has the best track record.

ValYid is 100% reliable.

IMO, as reliable as they come.

I have followed his ITK updates for a few years now, way before he started posting on here, on bbc606.

Thanks. Don't really keep a track of what ITK's say. Let's hope that final 1% takes 13 hours rather than 13 days.

POTL re Brownheads info:
This is not ITK. This is just a collection of all the names we have been strongly linked with in the press, along with listing all the players who we are trying to sell- which anybody in the world could tell you.

POTL

Whether or not it's correct, the arrogance pouring from that post takes my breath away. We've created a monster.

Logic says it must have been agreed or else building in an option to sign him for X amount would also be pointless if there is zero chance of us agreeing personal terms with him
