Toffee_Fox Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 Just personally, I always take these 'Twitter Links' with a pinch of salt. I know nothing of Toffee Fox nor Bert but if they wish to come across like they are in the know, then let them. They may well be, but I'd rather someone actually tell me who is going to sign for the club and when, than suggest that something 'may happen'. We can all say something 'may happen' and then let everyone scrabble about trying to glean info like kids in a sweetie shop. And I reckon it must be good fun for those providing such 'rumours'. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure that both TF and Bert are far more clued up than I am, but I'm happy to sit back and just see what happens in terms of signings. As Bert himself said 'why do people get so wound up by all of this'? Que sera.... okay. Agent_ITK said you're signing Heskey TransferITK said you're selling Beckford and signing McCormack from them, and that transfertotal6 told you that you were signing Leon Britton today. As you said you prefer people to tell you who you are signing, so there are your sources. I said last week you were signing a scouse CB, have you not? listen to ZW you'll see what I mean, I COULDN'T tweet his name, how hard is this for some people to understand, but in order to let all you moaning sods know I give it to stringer who put it on the BBC. Ego trip? Quite the opposite there. Learn a new word, its rather boring, half of you only harp on about egos because you get a little +1 next to your post. I don't find it 'fun' providing 'rumours' at all, as you'll probably see from FO its pretty much stopped on there from the abuse and same on here, its much a chore, but as a fan I'd personally rather be told about accurate signings then convince myself you're signing Britton, but whatever floats your boat.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 I think they were being truthful, I don't think they would go on the wind up.
MGLCFC Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 TF just keep letting us know any info. It always brightens up my day and more importantly is generally spot on.
dpjfox Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 give this new name to Stringer Toffee, he cant keep quiet
Toffee_Fox Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 He works for the BBC, he'd look a tit if it didn't come off, therefore I only speak to him about transfers 100%
Guest Col city fan Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 okay.

No offence meant to you TF, quite the opposite in fact. But, Who mentioned anything about an ego trip? My post was honest and appropriate I believe. I'd personally rather wait and see who actually signs. You do what you want to do, some people will thank you for it. Others will push you for more info. Others will be a pain in the arse. Personally, I take all rumours with a pinch of salt, it's just my way. And I find twitter completely dull, always have. Others love it. Does that get me a +1? Take care mate.
Toffee_Fox Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 Like you said you prefer a name and a date as opposed to 'mystery' signings and so on. Well that guy said you're signing Leon Britton today, so be happy not angry mate, good signing that considering he was one of the best in the Premier League last season, major coop to land him ahead of Liverpool and co.

Fingers crossed TF. He'd be a great signing.
foxfanazer Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 Fingers crossed TF. He'd be a great signing. Thinks he's being sarcastic isn't he? Would be a fantastic signing though
glenny_fox Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 David F'N Beckham He is at Kilworth Hall this month.. put 2 + 2 together and he is a Leicester player
AKCJ Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 Like you said you prefer a name and a date as opposed to 'mystery' signings and so on. Well that guy said you're signing Leon Britton today, so be happy not angry mate, good signing that considering he was one of the best in the Premier League last season, major coop to land him ahead of Liverpool and co. It's quite clear we're not signing Britton. None of these 'ITK' kids ever get anything even close to being right. If I were you i'd keep these 'mystery' signings to yourself until you are able to name them. What is the point in saying 'you're signing a mystery player, i can't tell you who it is though'? Just keep it to yourself, then, when you can, you can come out and tell us who it is and everyone's happy.

Someone earlier in thread mentioned ego's. These people should get to know people personally before deciding whether they have an ego.
Nick Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 Solid mobile, midfielder, incredible pass completion rate and can tackle which is great as he's not the most 'built' of players. I'd welcome such a terrier with open arms. It's what we've been missing to be fair. A defensive midfielder who can dictate play and hold the ball.
Mark_w Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 If I were you i'd keep these 'mystery' signings to yourself until you are able to name them. It was alright with ZW because it was 100% done, I'm not sure I want to know about a 50/50 deal for a player who he 'would take at Everton', that's getting my hopes up when there's a pretty decent chance it will not happen. That said I know a lot appreciate knowing so keep it up TF.
Happy Fox Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 Leon Britton would be immense signing hope it comes off.
Rusko187 Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 Leon Britton would be immense signing hope it comes off. So does this mean that this is actually moving or is it complete bull****
Babylon Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 okay.

Come on TF, I think you are reaping what you have sown in this instance. You proved yourself (again) with the Whitbread one and I'll happily back you up that you know what you are talking about. But If you are going to feed the trolls you must have expected to get a few bites from them!
Mark_w Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 Leon Britton would be immense signing hope it comes off. I don't think that's what he was saying...?
marty78 Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 Leon Britton . Andos Townsend on loan and I think that's ambitious
Grey Fox Posted 30 July 2012 Posted 30 July 2012 Leon Britton would be immense signing hope it comes off.
