In all fairness his information Sinclair was signing today was completely duff as we aren't remotely interested in him purely trying to speed up the signing of Agger.
However, this doesn't justify the levels of abuse aimed at him.
I have posted one or two bits of solid info since signing up to the forum, but after seeing the events in the "It's Quiet" thread any future info I will be keeping only to PM's.
It isn't worth the abuse if a certain piece of information doesn't pan out exactly how posters expect.
"solid info" my arse

nothing will happen untill modric goesmancityscot said:adrianr said:I'm not sure what's more depressing about that post. That pretty much the first player we actually need and seemed close to signing doesn't want to come, or that we're letting Arsenal and Liverpool have a straight shoot out over Nuri Sahin.
What the fuck?
think we've dropped a huge bollock this summer. having won the premierleague, i;d have thought we'd have gone from strength to strength. thought players would have stated an interest in coming here. us looking to shore up positions such as wings, centre midfield and centre back. but no we've sat back and watched cazorla go to arsenal, sahin being linked to spurs, arsenal and liverpool, missed out on hazard, seen lavezzi go to psg aswell as thiago silva. we've done nothing, and theres 2 weeks to go till the defense of our title campaign. i know this statement makes me come across as a spoilt sod but we have had a poor summer transfer window

modric will probably stay in Spurs.

Mods, you really do need to take the hard line against abusive, personal attacks or every ITK will simply stop posting.
So what if info turns out wrong, that's what makes this site entertaining!

I agree. People who might hear snippets of information from their sources will probably be less willing to share it in the future as a result.
Plus even if it turns out to be nothing but crap, just take it with a grain of salt, no need to resort to ad hominem attacks.

ad hominem attacks are not possible against an internet persona buddy.

I take the opposite view. IMO buying no one is a positive move. Who are these players that could really improve us? This close season there is a shortage of top quality players available. By all accounts hazard was the one young gem who we could have got but we took the wise decision and were not taken for a ride
Now I like DDR and I like RVP but they are getting on. Both would add a little quality but these kind of signings stink of when Chelsea bought Shevchenko and Ballack.
Now surely it is better to keep the pennies in the bank? Let Chelsea and PSG spend shit loads of money on decent but not the elite players. Let them test the water in regards to FFP. Over the next 12 months opportunities may arise for other players to come to prominence. Next year Wilshire may want to leave for example, Higuain may fancy a move etc. It would put us in a great position as we may have a clear run at a better quality player than what is available today,
No point just chucking money away unless it strengthens us. IMO we still have the best squad in England. Natural progression should see us improve anyway. if we don't win a trophy this upcoming season, so what? Since when has being a City fan ever been all about winning stuff?

People flapping at Tolmie getting something wrong, Tolmie then flaps at the people questioning his ITK status, other people then flap at Tolmie for flapping and the rest of the flappers flap at them.
In all fairness...it's the internet. People have every right to question Tolmie. I personally looked out for his posts and enjoyed his clues although I did take them all with a pinch of salt. They were reasonably ambiguous but I do not doubt he had some sort of connection at City.
Bit babyish to do one though. Has he pm'd anyone regarding todays dud info?
