But there's plenty he has got right? I don't see the need to throw shade whenever an ITK 'might' not get it right. In fact, it's not like we had everything agreed (if anything at all) with Mebude. Just because we wanted him doesn't mean it was a guarantee. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People speak about the comments he's made as if they are facts... which we simply dont know if its true. No shade to him personally but who knows if its another person who once had info and now is throwing names to the wind and hoping something sticks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not up to him how people take the info. I won't speak for him as I don't even know him, but I'm guessing he puts the info out there with good intentions; how the info is received is out of his control (same goes for any ITK that posts here). If people choose to believe it, so be it. If not, again so be it. But I don't get why his name has to be dragged (as has happened in other threads) as if he's totally not credible when actually some stuff has gone on to be true. I think what people forget (or dismiss) about ITKs is that the info they give is unlikely to be at the final stage of the transfer process. We might be in talks with a specific player, but outside of that ITKs source is unknown, as in there may be 4 or 5 other clubs involved too... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But personally im just a bit tired of the endless fake itk attention seeking we've had on this forum. There's enough doubt there for me to question things and when you get comments like "oh I knew but just wanted to let people enjoy the surprise" cant help but think he's taking everyone for a walk. Hopefuly thats not the case and its just a story of moving parts. But just for me I question when people are happy to speculate a few random names but then decide the concrete info they will be cryptic or not say anything... thats just attention seeking. Either go all in and tell people what you know or dont bother. To list 5 names but then hold back the RW signing you do know is happening... doesnt seem to make sense to me. With mebude specifically though... I find it hard to beleieve the club... with enzo in charge, who knows exactly how good he is.. would be interested if he is only at the level of westerlo ... thats a no starter for me.

Just because we wanted him doesn't mean it was a guarantee. There's a long list of players we're interested in and majority will find different clubs. Mebude might have wanted regular first team football and we couldn't assure him of that. We've seen other young talents take a similar road to go an prove themselves, if the lad does well he'll get a decent move in 12 months. The omnishambles that is this Asia tour, bean counting over players leaving and essentially those at the Top having a 2 week jolly this close to the start of the season hasn't helped. As you mentioned in another thread, this rebuild will take more than 1 transfer window. Said previously in posts that don't take everything as gospel, I will be wrong at times. I've been getting info for nearly 12 months now, all my scouting, Jan window news and behind the scenes running of the club has been correct, clearly a couple of bits hasn't come off. Steffen & Giles we're both reported by mainstream journos but they we're wrong too. Steffen wouldn't be ready for the start of the season so we went elsewhere. Giles chose a premier league team.

DezFox Posted 25 July 2023 Share Posted 25 July 2023 (edited) If people are putting money on these and losing I would suggest stop doing that. If not, I don’t see any harm in it at all. @Sambiasso keep it coming. I think you know some stuff but I get things change. All good for me. A lot has been right. 👍 Edited 25 July 2023 by DezFox 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I'm asked not to mention certain players, that's why I can't name the RW atm.

Just as you don't know '...The information may've been right at the time. But things change.' I was just playing devil's advocate with your own assumption, and I do agree with you on dealing in assumptions in general, however, this is a forum where most topics are dealt with in opinions and assumptions, and that will always be the case. I don't actually moan about ITK's, but I also don't subscribe to defending them either. As I said, "take with a pinch of salt" is always the best way to deal with most transfer window posts. Enjoy the info but don't get caught up in it all either way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
