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.
Well at least next week certainly sounds a hell of a lot more realistic than it getting done before we fly out to Germany.

Well if one were to believe ITK 8 for whatever reason, it sounds like the deal won't be triggered until Dortmund find a replacement.

Ironic that one of our old number 7's is apparently someone they have been looking at

Kind of odd actually that Dortmund are interested in taking him on. I know he's done better in France but I still view him based on his time here I suppose.

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.
Ahh that should not be happening. Good then that identity of these supposed ITKs is hidden by mods.

Haven't been paying much attention to this, but they were wrong, so their solution was to bring in another anonymous ITK who supposedly is more notable (which no-one can confirm) to remedy this?

Yes they were wrong. About the timeline at least. They're all still adamant that Sancho is coming, including this ITK8 guy. Not sure if he's more notable, but he was there when it all went toxic on r/reddevils. That wasn't good for anyone. I think we can all agree that some people take this stuff way too seriously even though there's reminders in just about every post to not do that. Some of it may be real, most of it probably isn't. It's just a bit of fun really. People should treat it that way.

That's part of the reason that it all got shut down on reddevils, and also part of the reason that we set it all up

XI Simon still hasn't tweeted anything
Seeing as he only tweets during transfer windows, and the last window closed in January (7 months ago), hes either:

1- Forgotten his twitter password
2- Annoyed his contact by pestering him re Sancho updates
3- Suffering from COVID

Cant see any other logical explanation.

He tweeted something like the window is open a couple weeks ago.

That 8 guy has said we've looked at Holgate but not sure in how much depth.

Obviously given themselves an out but will be interesting if that name crops up in mainstream media.

Another ITK mentioned that we preferred to get a CB playing in England but he didn't know the identity of this player. This ITK further mentioned that the club already tried and was told he is unobtainable this window. Holgate makes the most sense in this scenario based on what ITK 8 said today so I doubt there will be any further reports if we are to believe this.

Grealish
Van Der Beek

Give me Koulibaly too and a Partey

Would be delighted with the top two and cheap CB but anything more than Sancho looks a big ask right now

ITK 1 -

  • United did not put the official bid in yet. Have not. It is expected “soon” (time frame given but won’t be published). - info from Saturday evening 3:30PM UK.
  • Bid went in at 5PM U.K. Saturday.
Fingers crossed.

Shouldn't all of them be? They're all 'in the know' technically
Yes but all football players are players too but some are better than others. Likewise apparently few ITKs are more reliable :D

So that's pretty much every ITK providing wrong info now? Just trying to keep on top of it. Someone with as many posts to their name as I have struggles to keep up to date.

Not necessarily wait till there is an explanation as to why they were all incorrect.

Must say the Auckland fellas comment gave me a chuckle, I suppose he'll be banned after questioning the hit success of some of those ITKs.
Don’t question them. Blind acceptance only on this thread please.

If you wish to question them and laugh at them and talk about how stupid people are to follow it with even a shred of belief head over to the Anti Thread.

But not on this one.

This thread is for those who wish to believe.

Please use the anti thread if you want to express your shock at people believing,

Anyway back on topic?

The only thing he said (or is implied to have said, it's hard to tell) is that he would be surprised if we had the deal done by yesterday - this was in the Aug 6 update. And that Dortmund want to have a replacement signed before they sell Sancho.

Which makes sense - it was pretty much how the Maguire transfer went down. Was training with Leicester right up until the end.

I still see Sancho coming to United but of course Coronavirus has made things really weird. He's a Manchester lad, he's homesick. Zorc can say what he likes - if a player wants to leave your club it's really, really difficult to keep them.

He moved to Manchester when he was 14, what's your cut off age?
Not really a cut off age, I just imagine someone who spent the majority of his life in London, will not call himself a Manchester lad. He's definitely a London lad, for me, whenever I've seen interviews.

He moved just before his 15th birthday and left a little over 2 years later. The cut off is to actually be from Manchester, which he isn’t.

Fair enough. I've seen footballers who've moved to a club even later and call themselves mancs or scousers or whatever but this is definitely not a hill I'm gonna die on
