For someone who claims to be 'ITK', where have you been for the last 15 years of KUMB?
To be fair, I think he said he knew one of the development squad, so probably quite young (no offence intended if you're not) and only recently in a position to hear snippets from within the club :think:

If he is indeed 'ITK'...

The irony being that any post that claims "on very good authority" immediately lessons your belief in the poster or his information.

:lol:

I'm sure Aztec will prove this theory wrong....

He's unknown outside of Russia isn't he ? Well, Ok fair enough, I suppose all of Italy now knows about him as well. But apart from in Russia and Italy, who else knows about him apart from you ?

Talk of Holt, Anelka and Jaaskelainen I find depressing! I know the first season we have to be stable in the Premiership, but these three do not inspire at all. It will be completely wrong if we sell Sam Baldock!

Poor research old chap, until recently I have posted all year round for about seven years and for a further two years before that under a different username.

CH,

Glad to hear the PPi stuff is helping you move away from that hell hole, make sure you set some money aside and get to some matches as well next year. I'm sure there are quite a few on here that would like to buy you a pint! :thup:

A perfect example why posting as 'Trap1' is taking a back seat.

I posted the source to the editor, and if i felt you wouldn't use it to make your childish statements, i would have given you the same info.

Good luck with twitter chaps, it's a shame that you choose to believe the sudden surge of ITK twitterland over other people who have posted on here for years but that's how it goes.

A little bit of advice to the new ITK's, think Bosman, think experience, remember first year wages and short term contracts (ie up to 3 years).

I can't win! :D

I'm not ITK, and don't claim to be. Didn't realise that saying that 'good authority' line is the archetypal lying ITK sentence starter! Used it more so to dispute another post that said we hadn't yet enquired about Zaha. But yeah, not ITK, just know someone quite well who is one of the younger players. Plays alongside Ravel, that's how I know that little bit of info about him being nuts (though that's nothing new) and about Zaha, this player is very good pals with him (similar age, similar circumstances made them become friends through youth setups and all that).

Jarvo, you're right mate, I am young, so no offence taken at all! Honestly guys, I don't want anyone on here to think I am posting utter trash for the sake of it. I know how mindnumbingly annoying people like that Bradley bloke are, and that's why I have only posted about Zaha... because that's all I really know about.

Don't know if this will help my case to prove I'm not a bullshitter, but look on page 16 of the Di Canio thread, I said something on there and then about a week later, a newspaper article came out basically suggesting the same thing.

Give me a chance boss!

I can't believe how many of you were being positive towards Yakubu :|

Actually 90% of the names we have been linked to I wouldn't want anywhere near the club.

I agree Wilko - keep Baldock. Give him a decent run (something he's never had) in the pre-seasons. You are right it is movement (and pace) that makes him valuable. Remember his performance away to Blackpool?

Apologies to all - I realise it is against protocol to agree with sme one completely on this forum. Am I forgiven or shall i get my coat?
