So Aug 6 deadline was fake.

Funny how they are comparing themselves to Romano. I think they keep telling everyone to not take it seriously but they take quite seriously themselves. Even have a transfer window guide which has to be a parody.

I reckon they edged their bets with the confirmed news Sanchez was leaving today, that it'd be wrapped up today.
Then came all the briefs last night which totally fecked up their 'predictions'

They've got a small window that if it happened tomorrow or over the weekend they can be like..... BUT PAPERWORK ISSUES

Remember you did that last season and it was all a load of fecking shite?

Even Spoofex was giving himself +1 because things he said were done deals but didn’t happen had rumours in the media. That jroades guy was one of the worst but he seems to be all over it this year.

I think this thread is perfectly legitimate for what it is, and I think people who believe the stuff should be able to post that they believe the ITKs in here.

We do have some posters saying the ITKs have been totally right about Sancho up until now, however. The reality seems to be they are all bang wrong as most were claiming some kind of done deal weeks ago.

I think it’s fair enough there should be a discussion, but if transfers are so finely balanced is there really any point to this ITK stuff?

If four weeks after an ITK says a deal is done the club seem to be saying talks have broken down, where is the value in any if it?

I don’t really understand where the fun is to be honest.
The “review” last year was hilarious. It included shit like “ said De Ligt was done deal so that is -1 point. But also said De Ligt isn’t joining so that’s +1,000 point. So as you can see I did pretty good.” :lol:

I see some people are cottoning on to ITK4 claiming to know the inner workings of every club in Europe makes no sense and consistently gets everything wrong.

Wtf there is a point based review? Seems more serious stuff than annual performance review process in my office.

Been following these guys since this thread was made. They're massive frauds and have said absolutely nothing that's even remotely true.

Have we got new date yet from the ITKs?
I just went over to have a look.
In discussion with ITK 1 and G5, neither will ever be giving time frames again - tier 1 journalists such as Fabrizio get to use the words "soon", "coming days/weeks", without any pushback or assumption that he doesn't know what is going on or is guessing.
Could be the Mod guy whose in here.

Baisically.

Ok, ok, we've all been proved bullshitters
BUT WAIT
From now on, we're gonna leave all transfers 'open' until complete so we can never be wrong until the end of the window when nobody comes back

Poked my head in for a quick look, they started a new thread because of questioning of the ITK's had boiled over in calling the mod a Nazi.

They have a strange defence for for the ITK's that when they said it was done and agreed awaiting medical that they just meant from their 'departments' point of view.

It's now just mainly comments complaining about people questioning the ITK's and taking it too seriously whilst beginning for news.

It's exactly why people like Romano don't give deadline. I don't understand why would anyone who has no authority on deal will come out and give a deadline.

Also ITK 4 seems like a guy who is multilingual. Just summaries all the rumours from every league.

To be fair to @ubergorp He'll will have done his research on ITK4, got reliable info that he 'kept behind' until it came true before announcing to the subreddit that yes, this guy is damn reliable, he told me in 7 different languages that something was going to happen, I just couldn't tell you guys

Last year the guy behind it all called Spoofex, who was the biggest bullshitter of them, did a self assessment at the end.

He flip flopped so much he had basically at one point or another said every possible scenario for every possible player. He then gave himself something like -1 point for all the wrong stuff but because he changed his mind and said stuff wasn’t happening anymore he got +100. Giving himself this huge score at the end despite him making everything up or stealing months old information from some of the youth ITKs.

It was hilarious and they all lapped it up and attacked anyone who said anything against him until the end when shit hit the fan. He even had his own subreddit. :lol:

Can’t remember if he was or just a few of the other ones were doxxed and one guys girlfriend was sent a torrid of messages.

This is also a pattern.

Even Spoofex ‘retired’ from being ITK on several occasions but bowed to ‘fan pressure’ and returned with extremely watered down versions of ITK info. Which also turned out to be bollocks.

This ‘department’ business is also an interesting development: well the club have had a fee accepted by Dortmund but apparently the club have been waiting for the arrival of Sancho’s official tracksuit so can’t announce the deal.

Last summer was entertaining on reddevil subreddit. There was also one guy who fooled them and then posted entire conversation on some other group. That was hilarious as mods were teasing some massive information before that.

They are just a group of people who make educated guesses, what they do seems to be above the average united internet fan. I think they actually put time and effort into calculating who our legitimate targets are and gleam any information they can get from decent secondary sources but at the end of the day its all a bunch of bullshit that some scratchy voiced dickhead is probably making a fortune out of.

Oh yes that one was gold. :lol: People lost their shit calling him a lowlife and pathetic and stuff for proving it was all bullshit. Because making a fake email address to fool them is pathetic but making up ITK stuff is super duper cool.

It's the footballing equivalent of "psychic" cold readers. A mix of educated guessing and saying things vague enough that desperate fans will interpret in any way they want.

I'd say it's the opposite, they don't put any time and effort into calculating our targets at all, everything comes after it has been reported in the media just with their own spin on it. That's where they are missing the trick, if they actually did some decent analysis and came up with a genuine target before anyone else they would look like a credible ITK.

True and its not like Sancho isnt a no brainer. I noticed a pattern the other day with the Gabriel stuff that they were just echoing everything that was thrown at or asked off Romano. FFS they even put entertainment disclaimers before their nonsense.

I thought the purpose of ITKs was to be in the know and now they want to be using words like "soon" and "coming days" . At this point it makes it even easier for them to keep deceiving people

Jroades267 sure is rattled considering he said “just take it light hearted and not too serious :lol: he knows they’ve been rumbled and he’s on the offensive now.

What a joke, I knew it would all come crumbling down like usual. ITK my ass.

  • There's also admittance in some respects of underestimating or not knowing how long the stages take after a deal is "agreed" or "done" from their area. We'll be working on that.
This is particularly good. We fecked up and we have no idea what’s going on so we will try to lie better from now. I wonder if they’re all in on it or are they putting up this charade with with and other as well. Wankers.

Once again folks - people are spoiling this thread for the posters who enjoy it. If you want to start a different anti-muppetry thread, then go and do that.

They have a special guest ITK apparently from last year to make a 'statement'. ITK 8 (who must be like a Sir Alex figure) come in to settle the ship.

He says everything is OK and the ITK's just got excited and jumped the gun. We are just waiting for BVB to buy a player then it will be complete. Probably next week.

Thread bans have started.
I’ve made a thread for people who want to moan about this. Assuming that’s ok?

Anyone who disagrees with this thread or anything posted on the Reddit thread and would like to laugh as true muppets should head on over to the Anti Reddit ITKs V2 thread. Don’t get yourself banned over it!

Of course it's all bs. I am yet to hear a reason as to why someone would risk their career for a couple of karma points on Reddit.

However, if it brings entertainment to anyone than let them enjoy it.
