i have to say that im surprised that so many people are digging at the ITK's and their supposed reliability when at the end of the day they are simply passing on the information they hear in good faith, some of it comes true, some of it does... thems the perils of giving yourself over to the possibilities that it may or may not come to pass... but it is neither Akqa's or JJ's or anyones fault if these things dont come off. Granted people like Adiepf are a little OTT on the whole passing on info with his 10000000% we've signed Hulk for £3.50 and a yorkie and will be announced on next solar eclipse, told to him by his gran, who once had a night of passion with Dave Mackay - man that boy needs padded room!!

But at the end of the day the responsibility for said deals lies in one place - the club!! We know Levy has personal issues at the moment with his wife and we accept that can afect what goes on but their are others there who can take over if need be (Darren Eales for example) so if we are all getting a tad antsy maybe thats where we should direct our frustrations, not at each other and upsetting the Mods on this great forum, or at the ITK's who are providing us with the jewels they get passed.

This is a twitter thread where i hasten to say a lot of us have a twitter account so lets use it to make our voices heard. The official Spurs twitter folk even asked the other day how did we all feel and maybe 25 people responded. Thats no good... the more of us who voice our frustrations the more good it will do. Even if it prompts a response from the club, an explaination of sorts for what they are doing and what is going on... anything at all... but we need strength in numbers for something like that.

I think the job of the Mods on here is hard enough but they do it great. I think the ITK's must be just as frustrated getting mixed signals and info from their source and yet they still pass it on knowing that they will either be crucified or made ITK royalty depending on the next text or call or whisper or announcement that comes from said source or the club itself. and most importantly i feel the frustration with the rest of you and am at panic stations myself... i just think those frustrations need to be correctly directed.

Just my own thoughts. Sorry for the rant, although im sure the spelling and grammar nazi's out their could have a field day with it :)

I agree with most of what you say. But one thing to bear in mind is that some ITKs hide behind the fact that "they are passing information on to us in good faith".

In reference to one particular ITK, when you are clearly exaggerating and saying stuff like "Vertonghen holed up in London hotel when clearly he wasn't", then saying " the similing cuddly bear is ours and start pressing F5 on the OS when it seems the deal hasn't even been concluded yet" and all the nonsense with the duty free in regards to Lloris, etc, etc, is the "ITK" really passing on info in good faith? You can make your own judgement....

#AEG are desperate for an 'open air' arena in London. This was the initial idea of putting their name to the new stadium. #THFC #ITK

Ballague on SSN just said Sahin is joining Liverpool on loan, He's usually full of s*** I know.

Reckons Alonso has convinced Sahin to go there
I stopped listening to his nonsense the day he said "Tottenham have no chance of signing Juande Ramos. He has options from all the biggest clubs in europe so no way Tottenham"

The rest is history!!!!!

i think the point is that because almost none comes true ...we start to doubt whether it is info passed onto them or just made up in their heads and posted for attention .....im just saying,thats all :whistle: .

The frustration is from the info being passed on in such a flippant way knowing full well how seriously it will be taken. Things are thrown out there with such confidence only for it to be reversed a few hours/days later, a mistake repeatedly made. Apply how seriously you take this tweet from him to all of his info:

@akqayid Bolt looked like he was running for a train....He'll go under 9.30 in the final

Its all quiet on here compared to the ITK thread. Stoof and Grey Fox have helped put a little positivity back in the site.

As for LLoris / Cesar, i think both are very good keepers with plenty of years in them so if we have not paid 15m and can get Cesar for free then that is pretty good business. Who knows how either would turn out in the prem?!
