Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

A Spursy game

 

Skriniar Watch

Admittedly this is via an ITK...but so is anything tweeted by Onanistein, who claimed we had no firm idea of any attacking targets a few days before we signed Bale

Only if he changes his name to Spurs Skriniar.

 

That guy’s fake as **** mate.

Coincidently (and it’s something I haven’t seen anyone else pick up on), that account started the exact same day “king of the lane” got exposed for being a fake ITK account and subsequently deleted their profile. I’d bet money it’s the exact same kid, this time just pretending to know about other teams - but notice 85% of what they tweet is Spurs related. Basically just copying Ally Gold/ Dan KP etc but adding or twisting a few words and spouting it as if it’s their info, or alternatively joining dots together and making an educated guess like “I can guarantee you Spurs are signing a striker” - yeah no **** Sherlock. A few people have exposed the account already but for some reason it just seems to be getting 100s of followers by the day.

 

Technically, if he signed for us he'd have to call himself Arsenal Skriniar

 

No that's his job description

 

On the other hand

 

Korean media claim that Sonny's in line for a £200k+ a week contract

 

More than worth it.

 

r/coys has crashed again. Have we signed Kim Min-jae or something?

In other news, WindyCOYS is taking a break, mainly because the Trophies First mob responded so well to the suggestion that maybe being able to play more than 45 minutes of football per game would be a good thing by calling him a *****phile, so there goes one of the best sources for Academy players

 

It's hard to believe that my old man took me to this game , I was 5 years old , stood on my box at the front of the terrace in the main stand and dad would collect me after the game finished, he would stand with his mates towards the back of the terrace

 

Reddit is down in general atm it seems

 

Looks like Sess loan to Hoffenheim is close to being done.

 

Let's hope it works £30 million plus player we have a lot riding on him

We're kidnapping his parents to force a move, aren't we?

 

So you know how I've been saying we should've signed the entire 2018-19 Lyon midfield of Ndombele, Aouar and Troussart?

...two out of three?

 

some of these “ITK’s” are extremely convincing and I’ve definitely been fooled by some in the past.

I’ve been watching this one for most of the transfer window. Thought it was worth a punt when he/she had about 100 followers.

and it’s definitely the most convincing potential “fake” I’ve followed so far. There’s been some information that he/she has broken before anyone else that’s happened. Joe Hart for example. - said this was happening 24 hours before any other media outlet. 24 hours after that, the rest reported it. 24 hours after that, he signed.

will never know whether it’s real or fake, but it’s been very convincing at times, and I’ve seen stuff on there that’s been reported even before the likes of Fab.

not saying I believe the account by any means, but the info on there has generally been quite good (even if it’s copied).

 

...and two weeks later he got bullied off Twitter by the Trophies Über Alles mob

 

Man City badly need a left back, Benjamin Mendy is terrible. Wonder who they will buy for £50million before the deadline on Monday
