Anti Reddit ITKs v2 | Conveniently Receiving The Day Before

[limerickcitykid]

It’s ridiculous spoofex was the one who did the whole Bruno here we go in July and confirmed De Ligt to United.

Basically constantly talking out his arse but wanting to have a platform to discuss football. Not talented enough to be an actual journalist or footballing podcaster so why not make up fake news and gather a following.

Sad thing is there are kids falling for it.

The one I always took most issue was the Gribbin stuff as he blatantly tried to steal it from the likes of jb and Khoazany who had mentioned it 4-5 months earlier. And even then he still got it completely wrong.

Rojo is staying (unproven part is him moving to CDM). Gribbin is leaving football altogether (again not totally proven but some bits have come out around the planned released list and hes neither in that or had a contract extension. Not being on the release lists means he isnt registered on the FA database as active).

Claimed he was giving up football when really he’d just been kicked out of the club. And also invented some absolute nonsense about an FA database and being active on it. Like first off he was on the released list anyway. And even if he was retiring he’d still be on the release list as that’s how it works, not the active FA database he invented. Retiring players are always on the released list.

Also a throwback to his shit about Ole transforming Rojo into a CDM.

And he had everyone lapping it up. Shit they still are.

The latest Reddit update for that podcast right away anything negative is removed.

Any opinion that is negative isn’t considered constructive.

For arguments sake is someone saying “good podcast” constructive praise? And if not why is that allowed but “bad podcast” wouldn’t be?

I get annoyed at it because they are exploiting gullible individuals and pretending it’s all harmless and just a bit of fun.

If it’s just a bit of fun then there should be zero and I mean zero ability to send them money.

 

[nainaisson]

I see they went into the spoofex podcast thread and deleted all the comments calling him for the bullshit that he is. All of which were massively upvoted too

Pathetic. He’s probably one the current IDKs.

I miss Spoofex because a lot of what he said was so idiotic and obviously not true, it made for very entertaining reading. No current ITK has the balls to say Ole loves Rojo and wants to turn him into a defensive midfielder, or that Ole is desperate to sign some Icelandic teenager that no one had heard of who plays for a Russian club. Current ITKs just make boring educated guesses based on what they read on /r/soccer.

 

[Nick7]

they use de ligt as basically a synonym for made up now and yet still hold spoofex up as an ITK extraordinaire

 

[Based Adnan]

Curious as to how none of the "ITK" lads heard a peep about Stevanovic coming here. Now confirmed by Romano.

Some might say they only report the obvious links that are already in the news as they haven't got a clue...

Of course they knew about that one. They let @ubergorp know 3 days ago but told him they had to withhold the info until an official statement. It'll come out in the day or so

We'll get an update in a day or so informing us that they'd told the mods about Stevanovic a month ago, but they weren't able to publicly release his name due to his age or something

 

[GJNJ]

No doubt they will claim this is the mysterious briefing that G5 said. 1m credibility points for G5.

 

[SirAnderson]

Just want to say again how much I love this thread!

Tbf no journalist knew about this as well. I get your point though, the ITK's never know about players that are not doing the rounds in the media.

 

[BenitoSTARR]

How long before the whole “we don’t comment on kids” or “yeah IDK 5 said this was a done deal 6 months ago but we held off” start popping up.

Let me guess there will be negative comments on the sub that get removed for “not being constructive”.

Love true muppetry get a flight tracker lads!

 

[ubergorp]

Nope, no-one mentioned anything. Then again, there's a lot of confusion in the media about it, people saying its not done etc.

Also please don't ping me, if I want to pop my head in here I will.

 

[Vaibhav Raj]

Their go-to excuse on being caught on these fake and pretentious updates is to point at reports in media by renowned top sources and say that even these supposed big guns didn't have a clue. I personally never felt like any of the top journos ever did any flip-flop on what they were reporting and largely stuck to saying that clubs were still trying the find an agreement. Whereas on their subreddit, they had already declared Sancho as a done deal about a month ago in fairly confident tone. The picture painted by largely renowned journalist was relatively always clear whereas the updates on this subreddit were all over the place. Not that I expected anything different or hoped I would find some credible info. I just enjoy watching/reading some cringe.

 

[crossy1686]

This is the best. Check out their new Sancho update after getting everything about it wrong and then blaming everyone else.

Sancho

We will just wait and see how this plays out now, then determine the reliability and accuracy of reports afterward. People overreacted far too much to media reports, and there was a fair bit of ignorance of many reports that did validate information. (Deal agreed per Harris, 2 bids per Falk, etc). That being said it’s all over, tier 1s disagreeing on personal terms etc. It’s a mess. If there’s anything NEW that is deemed verifiable, important and worth updating we will post it.

In other words now the media isn’t sure we don’t have a clue and we don’t want to gamble on the biggest transfer as that would be a brand killer.

 

[crossy1686]

This might be the best in the know update ever:

KFC 2 -

• Grealish will ask to leave but not submit a transfer request or ruin his relationship with Villa. They can’t turn down an offer of 60-65.
• Pereira has suitors and wants to leave (this was given last Sunday).
• VDB is becoming less likely.
• Bailly wants to stay. Jones looks like he’s staying at the moment too. Smalling as good as gone.
• Will be challenging to get another CB in with the ones staying.
• Still likely that Dean goes on loan and still possible Romero is also sold with United buying another veteran keeper.
• Pogbas extension is done.

It seems I'm the one that's truly in the know as I said KVB was a no go months ago.

The Prophet has spoken, check out his pearl of wisdom...

I like how they gave this vaguest of updates.. And still got it wrong.

I can't believe people believe they're genuine. To anyone who does, I have some magic beans for sale.

I can't actually fathom why anyone would believe them, it's worrying that people follow them even if the information is always false but pass it off as 'don't take it all seriously, it's just a bit of fun'. Those that have that mantra much be big fans of fantasy novels because that's what this is a form of basically.

‘The office is relaxed’

‘The office’

‘The fecking office’

What ‘office’ you dopey cnut? There is no ‘office’.

 

[Relevated]

'I asked if he meant when and not if


Wow.

 

[Cliche Guevara]

'I asked if he meant when and not if’

And he said oh I don’t fecking know. Just believe me and stop asking for facts!

 

[spaceboyRSA]

Isnt there supposed to be a brief by the latest today?

 

[The Man Himself]

They are not giving much updates nowadays, are they? Getting caught too often on bs and ridiculed for it everywhere, they have resorted to fewer and vaguer updates I see.

 

[Zoo]

Yeah nothing interesting from them apart from one random link to Mason Holgate.

 

[Reapersoul20]

Jesus Christ, "there will be a brief monday" was the only bit of info given and....no brief

Jroades scrambling to stay relevant.

 

[GJNJ]

Itk 4 (numberless in the comments) said koeman wasn't on the shortlist for Barcelona only for an hour later the tweets to come out. Soon changed his tune.

He’s got to be by far the worst. Calls stuff for every club around and consistently gets it wrong time after time.

 

[Cliche Guevara]

Well it’s the day after the semi-final so G5’s punt seems to have, yet again, been unsuccessful.

ITK 4. Also known as ITK numberless...wtf

 

[Cliche Guevara]

Let’s be honest ITK4 is Gareth from The Office!

Every day he comes into work and his stapler has been put in a jelly again. He pulls his stapler out the jelly and there’s a Post-It note stuck to it that says ‘Coutinho to Chelsea’.

Or he’s Paul the Octopus. ITK4 is Paul the Octopus.

 

[Nick7]

So no magic “brief”? honestly how are they they still continuing this sham.

I saw someone say if we sign Sancho all the ITKs will regain their credibility

 

[Igor Drefljak]

Maybe I should sign up to the patreon to get the real updates

 

[Igor Drefljak]

Portuguese ITK (new)

• Have not yet heard any interest from Benfica in Pereira.

Hello everyone, I'm a new ITK.... I Have no news

Sancho

We will just wait and see how this plays out now, then determine the reliability and accuracy of reports afterward. People overreacted far too much to media reports, and there was a fair bit of ignorance of many reports that did validate information.

Wait? The media over reacted!!!!? The ITKs were saying it was more concrete than anyone, yet it was the media that overreacted

I'd tag Ubergorp but I'll respect his request to not tag him, as us calling him a fraud and him having no response probably made him a bit uneasy

 

[croadyman]

They have gone to ground since the Sancho stuff went to shit there is no doubt about that

 

[limerickcitykid]

Hello everyone, I'm a new ITK.... I Have no news

I see they‘ve gone hard on deleting any posts that criticize them. They’ve also started hiding the post scores because all the posts criticizing the IDKs were getting massively upvoted while jroades shit was getting heavily downvoted.

Think they have realised it is going to best all around for them to keep quiet until we get something more concrete

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Sorry croady, I need to add this here.

Well it's either going to drop around 10.30 tonight or as I fear it's Costa

 

[croadyman]

Sorry croady, I need to add this here.

Nah that is totally fair enough and will admit I have misjudged these guys badly and will happily hold my hands up to that
