I’ve come to the conclusion that most people that claim to be ITK don’t actually know anymore than the average person on Twitter, they just say vague things so it doesn’t discredit them once the club confirms stuff. No new incomings except Twine, he’s expected to be announced by the end of the week. I’ve heard rumours of a highly rated attacking player but can’t say the name, should be a blow your socks off if it goes through. Goalkeeper expected by the end of the window, I can’t confirm who he is or what league he’s coming from but I’ve heard from a source that he’s good at catching footballs.
An ITK poster on here: I know who is incoming but I promised not to tell anyone. A bullshitter on here: ditto!
There are different ITKers on here and some are genuine in their intentions I think, but one in particular, reminds me of mediums/clairvoyants' modus operandi. You do see some spectacular flip flopping, fantastic and consistent ambiguity and sublime statements of the bleedin' obvious to attempt to beef things up. Once you read it through that lens - it's quite enjoyable. Why they do it is perhaps the most concerning thing though.
I'm pretty certain because of the consistencies of what they've said previously and been proven that there are 1 or 2 who are connected, fortunately they give us what they can, alas there are a whole load of bullshitters that latch on and claim similar knowledge. The art is listening to those whom you trust have been right previously and ignoring the other attention seekers !
The ITKers clearly do have genuine inside information at times. With this mystery winger, the fact that they've been shut out of knowing the identity, such is the secrecy around the deal, just adds to the excitement. On the subject of the validity of ITK people though, I do think Baz Cooper deserves a lot more respect. He's still the authority on what's really going on, and he gets accused on here of making stuff up which his record absolutely doesn't deserve.
Do they really? Has a single rumour that’s broken on this site before Baz has published it ever come to fruition? I really don’t know, I don’t pay that much attention to who says what and just take everything on here with a pinch of salt.
I imagine the newest ITK he/she reads a few rumour sites and states the obvious and the gullible on here hold out for next snippet. Until people name names I take it all with a pinch of salt.
Acun said a player who we was close to signing last season was wanting to join us and regretted his decision. It appears that was Twine as he will be joining us on loan soon.
Blackburn tried to sign him in the last window but didn’t submit the paperwork in time, so wouldn’t be surprised if it’s them.
