And so it begins...

[Centurions]

I ain't got involved in any slagging off,(for a change).but this is what TH does and generally says every summer,every transfer window

The one issue I smirked at however was the Barkley so called transfer,I did at the time think what a load of bollocks,again my thinking bollocks proved to be true,ITK or not some of his "inside info" is and always will cause fall outs and arguments on here,so making a rod for his own back is always gonna happen,

I can't slate him for keeping the forum active during the close season,and I hope Bluemoon pay him well,but lets be honest there is some shite said,maybe it is because I can never work out any of the song cryptic clues,as I say he keeps the forum active

The fact that it didn't happen (this window at least) doesn't make mean it's bollocks though, it just means it didn't come off (presuming we did enquire).

I go away on hols tomorrow, so my last post for a couple weeks, anyhow.

Plenty seem to have nothing better to do than discuss my mental make-up, vices and negative impact on the wider internet, in general, judging by the number of pages these last few days?

I do feel it is best, however, that I don't instigate one of these threads, in future, just post as and where I feel it might be relevant or of interest?

It would reduce the amount of in-fighting, and not be a one-stop shop for putting myself out there, and all that may entail, good and bad.

Faceless internet or not, it is sometimes taken to heart, but that's just the guy I am. Can't change that and perhaps it is because I do have faith in what I am posting that it becomes a little personal for me.

Lampard's signing should perhaps be a decent illustration of just how quickly things can move in this game, even if Soriano had stated there would be no more after Mangala?

cheers for now.

fuck em tolm.

luckily the bell ends are well outnumbered.

have a good time.

I have not seen any 'bell ends' just people quite rightly in my opinion expressing doubts over the validity of the information posted and the manner in which it is posted. Why this is considered an attack upon the poster is beyond me. For a moderator to use such an intolerant phrase and adopt such an intolerant attitude, one has to wonder why TH is being so protected from any form of doubt.

Are we not allowed to point out that in our opinion much of the information posted has been common knowledge, freely available and the rest 'the spectacular stuff' (Barkley, Isco, etc) appears to have little or no substance. Are we not right to caution 'read with scepticism' and time and time again the information has proved unreliable, without a witch hunt being started. Are only believers allow to post and comment, seemingly supported by site Moderator(s)? Some of THs claims of 'success' are at best dubious.

You only have to read this thread for a short while to find some cringe worthy fawning posts to see how 'bought in' some people are and how disappointed they are when the biggy predicted does not happen.

Perhaps TH should only post more solid info in future, deals that are near done and not fledgling speculative deals barely at inception. I have no clue who TH is but it does seem to me he gets far more wrong than right. Perhaps it is all about keeping figures up on Bluemoon for advertising revenues, who knows.

No doubt I will get a bollocking for this but if you cannot stand free speech, deal with it.

and the rest 'the spectacular stuff' (Barkley, Isco, etc) appears to have little or no substance

and you know this because you're ITK? This is a single thread out of 1.000's on BlueMoon and is in the transfer rumours section. If what TH posts offends you so much go and read another thread and stop boring people on here.

What's that you say? Some people are dubious about THs ITK credentials? I'd never heard that one before. I'm sure someone else will be along in another few pages time with a reminder lest I forget. Thanks for your input lads.

All these muppets getting their knickers in a twist claiming TH isn't 'ITK'

Can you point me to one post where TH does actually claim to be 'ITK'?

I've seen him point out numerous times that he gets little snippets of info from a club source and he comes on here to keep people up to date. If you hang onto every word that he posts then you are an utter moron

If you also believe anyone is 'ITK' apart from Sheikh Mansour, Txiki, Ferran and Pellegrini then you are also an utter moron

Even the players won't be kept up to date with transfer dealings so why on earth would you get worked up about someone that posts 'snippets' on BM

Excellent post

I agree , no one has personally attacked Tolmie , just his info, yet the abuse towards posters that do is overwhelming

I detest the " mate mate mate mate". Any news on this that and the fucking other needy plebs with a handful of posts between them.
I agree about the protection also , it's as if ITK STATUS is a must have on a forum , therefore they are allowed privileges beyond the rest.

Read this thread back , there is very little or no abuse towards Tolmie ...just his clingons abusing the rest .

For the record I like Tolmie , he's a blue and know his credentials are real, I just don't like the abuse his doubters are subjected to

Mate, maybe some of us just like to speculate for an odd 20 minutes while on our lunch at work. These threads waste 20 minutes while we are eating our Ryvita's.

So some of us are interested in the snippets and videos the bloke posts because they are just a bit of fun. We don't take them as gospel as these threads don't need to be so serious.

Why people then come on here and start ruining the threads is beyond me. If people don't want to get involved then keep stum. What purpose does it serve to ruin a thread for everyone else? If people were interested in the so called doubters opinion then they would ask for it.

There are plenty of topics where people can get serious flying about. There are multiple wars, viruses, planes getting shot down. Yet people spoil a thread which is intended as a bit of fun.

Ya gets me mate??

Not exactly young...one of the oldest in fact:

Average age will go up again when Richards, Rodwell, Sinclair, Garcia, Rekik, Zuculini and Guidetti move out

Always looking for the positive angle, GH.

Sorry about that, but I'm sure the Barca Boys have their actuarial tables up to date ;-)

I reckon they're sufficiently avant garde to have Microsoft Excel, GH.

Thank you Tolmie for all the contributions this summer, It would not have been the same without you and I surely enjoyed it.

Things can change quickly in today's market but with tolmie at least we know who we are interested in and trying to bring in, now the move it self might or might not materialize due to many reasons.

I am sure that the names which appeared in the thread like Ross Barkley for instance could one day happen, we now know that Txiki is interested and rates the lad.

We also need to understand that even if a deal does not go through we might have started the ground work for future deals just like we did with Mangala and Fernando, it took time but the effort and negotiations started way back.

I hope that same is the case with Barkley and as far as Isco is concerned his situation at Real with James and Kroos coming in would have definetly tempted us and I'm sure that if it wasn't for squad and FFP restrictions imposed on this summer we would have pushed harder and got him on loan with option to buy but it just wasnt practical given the circumstances this summer, no room for foreign players in both CL and PL squad and we have a limited budget too.

Im grateful for all your contributions Tolm and hoping for more of the same

This window.....try next four years now on the Barkley transfer,as I said it's bollocks that it was ever gonna happen this window

FFS ... This thread still discussing merits of TH when deals imminent for Rodwell, Bruno, and Mangala. YCNMIU...
