Other funny transfers-that-never-was:

Spurs related;

Kenny Dalglish, then manager of Blackburn Rovers who had just won the league, approaching his Chairman about funding for a young French player he'd seen known as 'Zizou'. Jack Walker famously replied, “Why do you want to sign Zidane when we have Tim Sherwood?"

Absolutely. I said that above. I just don't understand why anyone familiar with that would still give ITKs grief. :up:

You can't apply that scenario to all of the current ITK's though, as someone said it was an exceptional circumstance due to Mark Hughes being a dick, rather than common etiquette during a transfer.

What I find most amusing is that there currently seems to be more ITK's in the transfer rumours forum than normal posters, all with sources whose sole purpose in life is to call their Spurs supporting mate and divulge lots of sensitive, work related info to them.

I like the idea of a rating system for the ITK's out of 5 stars, with the likes of ben, POTL and peanut being 5 stars for example and adiepf being negative 100, with ratings fluctuating based on info that comes off.

However this leads to the conundrum that someone's rating could be affected by something they reported on not coming off but not being incorrect at the point they divulged it. Or how you can prove/disprove certain types of ITK, for instance anything along the lines of "we are interested in player x, y, z...", impossible to prove one way or the other without getting confirmation from Redknapp, even then it would be debatable whether he was lying or not.

If I was to put any of my info up for the award, It'd have to be the fact that I was running late in Tunbridge and recomended to my better half that we should have a Chinese.

Especially as I got back earlier than anticipated and went to Harvester instead. This proves that things can change with any ITK

My favourite was the one that the ITK's missed!

No one saw Rasiak coming did they!!??

Turns out most posters don't know as much as the ITKs and should be a little more trusting and respectful.

That is perhaps the greatest quote ever made on this site - comedy genius!

I would like to know if any of our ITK's managed to release information regarding the following:

Friedal
Coulibally
Ceballos (sp?)

Before there were any articles on the internet? Just curious (not bashing)

The one that got away - Michael Ricketts.

Wasn't there ITK about a storm coming to WHL? About a week later the area was hit by the riots...

...does that count?

 

[daffygremlin]

I liked all the itk's claiming Diarra was about to sign for us and was having a medical for us.......

Wasnt there lots of ITK on Ronaldinho a couple of windows back? That was gold!

Even Ronaldo (the first) if my memory is correct.....my oh my...
