I reckon Daniel Levy has to ask permission from igijedi before announcing a new signing. It's the only explanation

If anything was gonna be announced prior to the Juve game we'd be getting media reports saying it's close by now, so I think we can rule that out

Cheers A&C for putting it all together. Yesterday was definitely full of ITK, and ITK-Lite, and a lot of ITK that floated roughly around the same core through line which is nice to see. Whoever that first signed player is, they're never going to live up to the hype. Even something fantastical like Bale would probably get backlash.

Was the mystery player that plays for a good side said to have been from Italy?

If not... going by the statement that the player feels he made a mistake and that the transfer would piss a rival off, my guess would be Draxler.

He's been linked with a move to Inter, as PSG is now overcrowded in his position. He's never going to overtake Neymar, he has minimal chance of getting a starting spot. I'm sure having just gone there, he now regrets that move.

Also, Wenger is a known long time admirer. Us grabbing him would surely piss off the gooners. They'd been linked with him for how long?!

Finally, I think the majority of SC would be happy with him, though you can never please everyone.

Oh please, for the last time the "he made a mistake" was not ITK it was a guess from @Col_M. can we please stop guessing based on this.

He plays for a "good European team", so could be Italy but may not be Italy.

How on earth has that random guess out of thin air been taken as some sort of gospel itk that links into all recent itk?

As incredible that would be it's pure fantasy.

Listen to Ian Dury's 'There Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards' then think of exactly the opposite of what he's singing about and that's how shit like this keeps happening

Just as a tiny addition to my little piece of news in the Barkley thread yesterday:

I was also told to expect the last two weeks of August to be busy for us - Poch has apparently identified two/three positions he wants to strengthen in terms of the squad and there is a list of candidates for this, but he is aware we're always likely to do most of our business late in the window. Any outgoings are likely to depend on these incomings.

I know that one of those incomings is Barkley, no idea about any other names.

The source is such that I'm not likely to get ITK with any regularity and only ever about current dealings I think rather than exciting new player names - I have absolutely no history of ITK so please feel free to take with as much salt as you can carry, I'll take no offence. I can only say the source is a good one and that's one of the reasons I've only been told some fairly unexciting stuff which only really confirms what we probably have already guessed.

I inferred that part from the frequent discussion of it. Yisrael informed me that it wasn't itk. Have your rating and move on. Acting supercilious and creating one post about it after enough clutters this tread enough that it's hard for other members to pick out what is actual itk and what isn't. People like you are likely to blame for things like that continuing rather than instantly being dismissed.
