Why do people have to be such aggressive wankstains on twitter?

Same sad act behaviour I see on here all the time. Someone tries to share info or a rumour they've heard and then some eternal beer garden dweller with a shit skin fade and a head like a button mushroom starts screeching demands for sources or insisting that everyone is as out of the loop as they are.

I really don't get it.

It must be making them feel less shit about themselves.

Tolmie's opinion is more likely to be closer to the empirical fact since he is more informed than the rest of us here (on transfers). Therefore, we have opinions, but his is more of an educated guess (on transfers). Can we agree on that? Nothing is a "fact" because this isn't an academic study where one needs to provide empirical evidence etc. Everything is possible in that sense, but I am yet to see anything indicating we are in for Caicedo. There is a (small) chance we are in for Caicedo, though. I give you that. I just think it's less than 1%. I don't have any references/bibliography to back any of this up ;).

I do get it, btw. It is quite common though.

I know & it needs to stop. I take all ITK titbits with a pinch of salt & look at them as a bit of fun to pass the time.

However, others become so invested in ITK's that if their info bears fruit, they're lauded as a demagogue, but if it falls flat, they're mercilessly hounded from BM.

It's fucking crazy mate! :-)

I just found Haaland94 dismissing one personal opinion with certainty & authority, but giving weight to another personal opinion as empirical fact, the epitome of weird! It's the internet for you though mate. \0/

Small penis theory ? :)

I wonder how highly Pep rates Mcatee? Say if the club said to Pep we can do Mitoma as you want but we have to sell Mcatee as part of the deal?

I’d personally hope we’d keep McAtee in that situation but that could look stupid in a few years.

Just feel like McAtee has that edge about him and an eye for goal to boot as well.
 
Now seeing the kovacic rumors are a crock of shit. Lol at numerous people in here peddling that crap after some random idiot tweeted something completely made up.

There seems to be a huge oversight in this new world of Twitter ITKs.

Nobody has suggested that Paqueta is a smokescreen and that we’re really signing Ryan Cresswell.

Game’s gone.

I'll give you a couple of empirical facts. Neither Bellingham or Rice currently play for Manchester City.

For balance I'll give you a personal opinion... It would make perfect sense to ME if City did a deal for Paqueta at £35m plus Philips with WHU, & another deal for Caicedo at £70m plus Palmer with Brighton. Two players in. Two players out. £105m total spend.

There you go. It's a personal opinion on an internet forum. Now if others can't see City being interested in Caicedo, that's their valid personal opinions too.

Now if you believe the latter personal opinions to be empirical fact, please present your evidence. If not, I'll accept the latter is a personal opinion which you share too.

Hopefully that's that settled. )(

Would he get game time ??
sitting on the bench & only getting game time if Phil & Berny are injured or playing when the league is over is not helping his progression

Lots of games, lots of minutes. I think he would. If not, someone else will come in get game time.

And that's your proof?

If they said they reckoned Bigfoot might be real, you'd stake your life on it too?

Mate, they both expressed opinions, which you've re-spun as proof, which it isn't.

Now please show me your concrete proof to backup your claim, or I'll happily accept your claim is just your personal opinion, & not the empirical fact you're making it out to be.

As I've got older I tend to sit back and enjoy the summer these days,but as it gets closer to the start,I am guilty of reading shit rumours either on here or Twitter,but don't get involved,too many wannabee journalists or people thinking they have inside info,when deep down they know fuck all about fuck all.

Even the so called ITK have got plenty wrong,but people still fall into the trap and get giddy every day.

Don't get me wrong I am not one of them,and there are plenty,who say I will only believe it when it is on City website,I get that,but I do get giddy a bit myself at times,but purely from a reading point of view,not getting involved has saved me grey hairs a plenty.

How does Palmer fit at West Ham? He's not going to get much time ahead of Bowen, is he?
Click to expand...
Nope. But West ham don't have many quality wide attacking players other than Bowen. Brighton has more options. My personal choice will be loan Palmer to West Ham to get more game time.

City would b mad not to be in for Caceido, we were in for Bellingham and Rice so we are looking at a CM.
With Rodri saying about his workload etc.
At 21 it just ticks all the boxes.
