Seems legit.I literally asked my friend position by position and took notes. He wasn't too happy about the note taking but we bantered about it and I think/hope it's fine.

Seems legit.
Sounds plausible to meMy mate, who’s a pigeon, said he saw loads of PR and Photography while flying over old Trafford today, along with Portuguese press. He reckons Fernandes will be wrapped up by Monday.

He is the only ITK that ever seemed to actually have a legitimate source. For example, just before James was announced he tweeted the time it would occur:
Tweet
— Twitter API (@user) date
He has done this for other deals in the past. I think he does like to embellish his tweets/ posts, and my feeling is that he is a journalist. Everyone else on reddit, as already discussed, just makes vague comments.
The problem with reddit ITK's is that initially, it was treated pretty seriously and people really did believe them. The first I remember was a guy who said Griezmann and Kohler were going to happen long before any journalist. He quit when it didn't occur, despite the Kohler sponsorship deal going through later. Each year since, there have been more ITK's including simon above. This year it seems as if it has grown exponentially. So it turned from something a little believable to complete nonsense. The problem now is that there is a lot of debate from people who still believe them and don't realize its all a joke, people who know its a joke but now want some actual United discussion and also from people who want to continue the joke as much as possible (spoofex). That was my take of it up until a few weeks ago, until someone seemed to have received some form of threats and reported it to the Police.
I quite like how its handled on redcafe. A single thread to discuss it, but nothing more. I think they've done that now on reddit but bizarrely, that spoofex is still worshiped, even though his posts, acting as a moderator as well, appear to go beyond simple "joking around" to actual proper trolling. I guess they enjoy it.
Having wasted my time to read that garbage - it sounds like this Chap sat down with Ed Woodward himself , the kind of detail he's giving - if true it's going to be an absolutely dire season for us. There is so much rotten. Ole seems to be ruthless enough but let's see if the club obliges his clearouthttps://www.reddit.com/user/SparkedIntoLife
Spoofex has a challenger in the contest of whom can pretend to know the most detail about United's summer plans.
It's two long posts. If you can't be bothered to read it all then 'according to his source' are squad for next season will be:
GK: De Gea, Romero (Kovar)
RB: Wan-Bissaka, Dalot (Laird)
LB: Shaw, Young (Laird)
CD: Lindelof, Ake, Smalling, Jones, Rojo
DM: Partey, Matic (Garner)
CM: Tielemans, McTominay, Fred (Garner)
AM/CM: Bruno Fernandes, Lingard (Gomes)
RW: Bale/Isco, Mata (Greenwood)
LW: Martial, James
ST: Rashford, Haller, Sanchez (Greenwood)
Yes. Deleted it now after like 70 downvotes haha. Bit of fun/a social experiment. It's right thoughWe have a poster with that username. @SparkedIntoLife, is this you?
Why not just fly him from Amsterdam to Manchester? Anonymous source reaches out to Reddit and conveniently they can't reveal information on the counter arguments to their nonsense. Brilliant.

I dont know what he meant by the Fletcher shitting on the coaches comment.
What a long way to say, i have no idea but am covering all basesThe official stance is that unless he formally asks to leave that Pogba is staying. That said, there's a group of people now expecting that to happen, and happen fairly soon. Not everyone thinks it though.
Perhaps he does have a legit source of some sort, and started out sharing something he actually picked up from that person. And then he found some validation, I suppose - people responded positively to what he said. And - presto, he got hooked on that validation. Might seem absurd to you or me, but there it is.Tbh it is absolutely mad to think he might be sitting there making all of that up.
I'm not saying that he definitely isn't, and I acknowledge that his info is surely complete nonsense, but its just mad to think he would be just throwing all of that out there off the dome.
Maybe not Spoofex directly but someone might be messing with him giving him fake news to spout to hundreds of his reddit cult followers.Tbh it is absolutely mad to think he might be sitting there making all of that up.

How long has he been doing it?Tbh it is absolutely mad to think he might be sitting there making all of that up.

Woodward and Matt Judge have had a major falling out and Judge could lose his job due to waiving the clause in Zaha's contract.https://www.reddit.com/user/spoofex/comments/

Well, he is so...The dodgy reddit ITK's are back to saying De Light is United bound.
Where do you see that? Everyone and his dog gave up on him.The dodgy reddit ITK's are back to saying De Light is United bound.

A few of the ITKs (not Spoofex) have said they have received info that De Ligt informed us he has chosen us this past week. Apparently the club has arranged for private transport from Amsterdam to Manchester this coming week. The theory on Reddit is De Ligt will first go from Miami (where he is currently on holiday) to Amsterdam to film his goodbye and then come to Manchester. Also, someone's source who works in these announcements stuff has told him he will be busy from Tuesday to Thursday working on a new announcement for an incoming player. Make of all this what you will.Ok you're free to believe but I don't understand, where is the link on reddit?
Yeah, he's coming. As obvious as they comeNot me pal. I believe
He had deleted his account a week or so ago though, when he apparently revealed personal information about his source. Now they are rumbling on the subreddit after this latest De Ligt info that Fred may have been right after all.Remember that ITK who guaranteed De Ligt would be signed by 15th June (yesterday)? Fred or whatever his name was. He's deleted his account, why am I not surprised
The whole subreddit was in a frenzy after his comments and downvoted anyone who doubted his ITK knowledge.
I will gladly eat a slice of humble pie if he turns out to be right. Let's hope he is!He had deleted his account a week or so ago though, when he apparently revealed personal information about his source.
