I second this comment 100%

:clap:

Akqayid, please don't let a couple of negative posters drive away your snippets of ITK (as they did with Adie & Storts) as the vast majority of us are (extremely) grateful for the info you provide.:bowdown:

Agree...
If people don't want to know about ITKs info then they should even be in this section IMO. People pass their snippets in good faith. It may or may not happen! this is football, this is money! So as someone said, lets take it with a pinch of salt...

I thought I would be the only one to own a handbag on here but it seems I was wrong :lol:

We (fans) are not the only ones getting frustrated guys. I was told today Harry is also very frustrated. He expected us to have at least 2 first team signings on top of Friedel by now and at least four players out. I'm told we should have a new striker by this friday!

Ah Friday is a good day to sign a striker

hope its someone other than the ivory coast kid.

So can we now assume that the ITK's source who stated we offered a contract to Woody was lying as Woodgate himself said contrary to reports he was NEVER offered a contract with spurs

You would be correct on that :razz:

No, mate! ITK doesn't work like that, never has. People get info from various sources that they pass on in good faith.

Sometimes the sources are misinformed, somtimes the situations change before fruition, and (possibly) sometimes the sources are on the wind up (intentionally or otherwise).

Add to that the chinese whispers element of information being (ubconsciously, but subtlely) altered by recipients and you can clearly see that even if it is 100% (or more) stated by the poster, nothing is guaranteed and everything should be taken with a pinch of salt.

Apologies if you already know this and are making a point, I'm just frustrated that we seem to be driving away ITKs by constantly pointing out whrn their info doesn't come to fruition & bashing away when we don't like what is being said.

The vast majority of us on these boards want to know what is happening (anything, please!!) and we will only get that by not driving away those with information that they can share.

Who is it please? Sorry for lack of ITK but my source is in SA and won't speak with him till he is back next Monday. But at least I should get lots of ITK. And hopefully we should have some new players anyhow. Yeh I wish

Cant be fairer than that! Well said :clap:

think everybody could do with a reality check on here .... this forum at its basic form is Person A hearing a snippet of info about Player X.... at the most the responses should, in an ideal world, be either a) ohhh goody hes fantastic or b) ohhh nooo hes shit!.....

But oh no not on here .... on here we end up with, from what i can gather, grown men taking their shirts off for cyber fights or even funnier, posters thwacking cyber cocks on cyber tables for cyber cock measuring contests... and what is it that causes such venom??? "I believe Person A hasnt heard information as correctly as Person B and therefore is deserving of a pint o bile"...

For all we know Person A could have been fed a line/ been subject of a wind up/ misheard information .... we dont know we werent there...

Im as hungry as the next man to hear that messi has bought out his own contract to play for his first love spurs, hence i keep coming on here, but every fucking day i have to wade through 30 pages of the playground stuff to get about 10 pages of summat useful....

Gotta ask now cos im seriously wondering.... Should i be looking on the other sites rather than here? Are the other sites for the more mature/less juvenile spurs followers? Cos this is first one ive been on and thought "this'll do!"

This place would be even worse than it currently is if Adie was still posting his daily short stories.

Did anyone even take his info seriously?

:evil: Should neg rep you for that. Now every time I come on here I'm going to be picturing everyone with their cock on their key pad shouting out come on.

Think everyone is just getting a little frustrated that we've not bought anyone. Do yourselves a favour, go on holiday, do some work or something. But whatever you do put your cocks away.

The point is it should be taken for what it is - ITK rumours - not gospel, no matter what he or anyone else says.

That calls for a wipe clean keyboard!:wink:

Also what would Hot-Spur do instead? Eek
