Doesn't come from any verified ITK

So? Neither did the photo of soldado going to ibiza, or my one that kaboul was having a medical at sunderland.
Some of our best itk has been one offs. Holtby joining. Zakora (father and son got them).

It might not be accurate and it was only posted in his thread out of respect but that doesn't mean you should dismiss it. Espescially as it doesn't contradict anyone else's itk.

Because it's not even first hand and doesn't contain any details that can be verified (i.e. the name of the agency allegedly now acting for Saido). And it contradicts the actual ITK that a deal was imminent, which can only be taken to mean that terms with SB were fine (as confirming players interest is the first step in any transfer).

The latest itk we got was that west brom were waiting to see if one of the manchester clubs was coming into the race. If berahino also wants to wait how are these two pieces of itk at odds?

It doesn't matter. If he signs it will be at his and west broms choosing. No amount of itk will change that.

jasper: Here it is, and very simple! Bobby will not be sold until we confirm a new striker signing, even if not announced!


The only thing that confuses me about this - if he will not be sold until we confirm a new striker, then shouldn't he be playing/training with us at the moment? It seems to be clear Ade is off - and that's great. Leaves us with Kane + Bobby (who isn't being prepared to be play with us this season). But we are then relying solely on Kane, for now, on the assumption that not only Bobby will be sold but that we will be getting another able body in the squad. If one of those doesn't go our way - then we are stuck with Kane and an underprepared Bobby.....
Not knocking the info, but questioning our policy on this one..
Based on the interpretation of the ITKs statement, Soldado not training with us mean we have signed a striker, all beit unannounced so stop worrying! (y)

no I don't think so

Means if soldados announced it means a replacements done, but not necessarily announced

I imagine it's done at V Real & the club are nervous of meltdown when real announce & Kane's the only striker & we're being prepared for an imminent Bobby statement from Spain

Well poch has really wound everyone up with his press conference saying soldado is in his plans.

He's not even in the same country!

He said something like "I cannot confirm anything. Today Roberto Soldado is our player." To me that's classic managerial BS from the text book. What else he suppose to say

I know thats its the way we operate these days. I realise that its imperative that we get the best deal financially for our club, buts its frustrating seeing our great club feeding off scraps.

All the ITK points towards us having to make do and play a waiting game at a detriment to our preperation. Its not new news but saddening none the less

Come on RT, it's not like we are bottom feeders. We're the next level below the Great Whites, we're like the Bull sharks. Before ENIC came along we'd been fucking turtles for a decade or so.
