He'd list virtually every one of our summer targets a few years back. I know they changed all the medical stuff a few years back as well, used to get a bit of info leak through from some sources there, but that all stopped. It didn't matter so much when we were less high profile as our targets were those where other clubs won't have had much of an interest in and we were much more of a pull than most clubs in the championship etc.

Yeah I'd come to that conclusion that his links were with the Pearson regime, or seemed like it. He still gets the info, but it seems a lot nearer to the final deal being done than before.

Rudkin and Macia are the ones who are closest to the deals now and wont leak stuff except in rare circumstances such as Ndidi last year hence why theres less info. Most of the stuff comes from agents now hence why its more hit and miss because they have different agendas. For the record i dont think i know everything that goes on at the club, and im hardly an itk because ive got stuff wrong previously like Silva not coming. Theres a lot of stuff i wont post on here because its not fair on those who tell me but then even they have agendas and it may not be a fair representation of events.

HighPeakFox Posted 18 June 2018 Posted 18 June 2018 I think @Abrasive foxis on the money here. Agents will misinform, people within the club chain somewhere will often surmise, sometimes/often wrongly, they may even be told stuff wrong from higher up deliberately so that we end up arguing over a total red herring. I read all of this thread but really cannot get worked up about something that will either come to pass, or won't. I don't much care for media/agents/clubs/bookies manipulating us, but I think most of the 'information' that reaches us is specifically for that purpose.
Popular Post themightyfin Posted 18 June 2018 Popular Post Posted 18 June 2018 To all who voice their opinion about me here about shouting out this transfer. Do I get everything right? No why? Because football is a funny old game and things can change in this sport overnight. Although I’m in a privileged position of getting snippets of information everything does not always turn out as it seems. The important thing is is see here is I’m a Leicester fan as we all are here so if I get some info I’ll keep passing it in here even if I continueto get stick for doing so. It seems every bit if info that’s posted of late be it from myself or others is linked to me when things don’t turn out. Or what I say is taken out if context. The ironic thing is other ITK people are normally the ones that try and shoot me down. Its not a competition to see who gets the best info and I’m not saying or will never say I get the best info but if I get some info that I think other Leicester fans would like to hear I will post it. Why would I do this with the risk of being slatted? Because I’m a Leicester fan like all of you. Keep shooting me down. I’m still here. 20 2

I for one appreciate any info that comes our way from people who have a little inside knowledge like yourself. I'm glad that you will continue to post it. I don't understand why some people feel the need to try and trip up our ITKs and ridicule you if something doesn't pan out even trawling through old posts. I think a lot of us understand that any transfer negotiation is fluid with all kinds of variables and bumps in the road. It's just that those that delight in finding fault are the ones that shout loudest. 1

No idea why some people here are so desperate to undermine those who choose to share what information they receive. Like you infer, transfer dealings are rarely simple affairs. 1

There's no need for any sort of competition between ITKs and people should definitely take information and make their own minds up if they want to digest it - rather than try and shoot people down. 1
Popular Post Tuna Posted 19 June 2018 Popular Post Posted 19 June 2018 I still remember the days when you first found out about a transfer happening by going onto page 302 on Ceefax. 4 1

It's just that those that delight in finding fault are the ones that shout loudest. I'm quite happy to read any info that finds it's way onto the forum, I appreciate that a small percentage will be spot on, and it's not the end of the world if the information is incorrect. I know nothing, nobody of any standing at the club and live 128 miles from King Power so any snippets are welcome. Must admit that I smile broadly when an ITK is called out "early" and the event happens as predicted. Remember is that it's our own choice as to who we think is giving good info, regardless of who is trying to discredit it and there is nothing to act upon other than saying thanks for the info, no "I told you so's" are required anywhere. 1

Wouldnt be worth my position or a source's position / trust. Know of people who have been cut out of the loop at clubs due to being feed false clasified info as a test (which they've spouted) which have sadly been traced back to the 'ITK' person. Pretty much it. Anything that is not vague or doesnt appear like speculation I would never post on any forum, too easy to track back and lose someone their job.
st albans fox Posted 22 June 2018 Posted 22 June 2018 I expect those who have information check if it’s ok to share. We may be told stuff a couple weeks before it’s announced but the deals may all be agreed so there is no problem. Anyone spouting confidential information is just putting the clubs business at risk - tbh, they shouldn’t know it if it’s confidential anyway !

That would definitely be a problem, if its ok to provide the info 2 weeks earlier, then it would be announced 2 weeks earlier.
