Summer transfer thread

This lad signed today
- obviously he's proud of this goal

 

Just got a text from Paul Martin, an agent pal of mine, he claims Broadhead deal is almost over the line, he claims Everton have helped loads in the wage restructure to move him on.
I think they may pay him up to help with his wage demands.
Don't post this on rtg yet, supposedly it should be sorted by Monday or its all off.

 

I'm sure that someone from rtg will post it. Remember, some of them hate this board yet will run and share any breaking news

 

It's mostly down the players desire to come back here specifically. The deal will happen.

 

His wages won't be that high, he's barely played a game for Everton and been out on loan a lot.

 

Some on the RTG mention this board, and some on here mention the RTG, don't think anyone hates this place, they are just message boards

 

By, we are playing a shrewd game so far. Bringing quality players in who want to be here and paying the lowest money we can.

 

The exact opposite of the Will Grigg "deal."

 

It's exactly this.

 

Thanks for the info Bob. Fingers crossed on this one. Hopefully Parrott or similar as well.

 

Why would Paul Martin share this confidential information to a person that would post it on a message board I wonder.

 

The vast majority are decent posters but there's a clique of half a dozen bitter little weirdos who came over here to cause trouble, were banned and now attack this board every chance they get. It was so bad, a month back, that a Mod had to put out a banning warning as it was infecting every other thread.

 

They do it to spread 'inside info' and hope to get other clubs interested which would bump up their fees.

It's the easiest way for agents/clubs/players to get rumours started.

Lazy 'journalists' scour the forums looking for anything they can pass off as 'my sources tell me' ...

... I've been 'quoted' a couple of times on Newsnow over the years.

I did fail recently with a daft rumour I deliberately posted and hoped someone would pick it up ...

... they didn't

 

I share it because I can, its my choice, what Paul gives me is his choice, as its yours to question what's posted, happy now ?

 

Good answer mate, sometimes I wonder whether it's worth posting stuff we find out.

 

Well don't bother then.

Both Prehab and myself posted a while back that he was coming back to Sunderland. It's hardly new news.

Neither of us felt the need to say how we found out.

 

I look on both forums, so which one is over the road?

 

You git... so there's no monorail.... boooo

 

In Bob's defence, he's been criticised in the past for being criptic, now when he's very clear, he's also being criticised. The guy can't win!

 

As someone as from ITK as you can get I always appreciate any info that is passed on. I take it in good faith and understand it doesn’t all pan out. To me it’s good to hear snippets from different sources confirming things even when it’s not new news. Please keep it up, all of you with connections and thanks guys.

And please let’s not get tied up in debating who should post what, when or how. I don’t see that as a constructive route when there is so much that is positive at the moment. Each to their own I say.
