Sometimes everyone has the same gut feeling as you . It's not hard to guess the players City are going for if you're a City fan who knows the needs of the side well . Even I could have predicted Barry and Cruz and Tevez was always a good bet .
I don't buy into this itk thing too much , no disrespect to your sources .
Maybe I'm being a bit lose with words , but the point is that most itk's fall flat on their ass , and the lucky ones get hailed as being permanantly ' in the know ' .
When we lived in Warrington , my fathers best friends daughter married Peter Barnes , and you can imagine how many football players would have been at the wedding , and how much itk would have come from it at the time , when the truth was probably none of them had a clue what was happening at any clubs lol .
Having worked with a very large company , you realise how little info you actually receive untill after decisions are made .
Sure , sometimes people get hold of inside info , but for every 10 your m8 gets right , 9 will probably be logical guesses imo .
alera said:This deal is more important than Barry or RSC or even Tevez IMO as we already had quality in those areas. Defence was our big problem last season we have lacked a quality left footed centre half that can get goals from defence.
It seems pretty clear the player wants to come, its a great opportunity for him to play for a big side which is trying to win things plus double his wages. He he wants to leave Everton he will its as simple as that. It also greatly weakens a team around us in the league. With the injuries they have it will will cause a big problem for them if he leaves which can only be good for us.
Definately worth £18 million IMO as we have already seen from Johnson you have to pay through the teeth for young quality english internationals.

And Stuart Taylor was a logical guess?
citychief said:not my fault! said:He's a Brum so why would he use Spursmad? Would'nt make sense... Even as a disguise. Would have been easier to announce himself as a blue with a contact in the club, works for others.
well maybe but spursmad knows way to much for a itk i ever heard of so my guess is gary c unless its some1 s"£$ing him ie his bored wife etc. i just cant see how a club outsider would know that much info gotta be some1 at citwell maybe its robbie or superman but .......... lol

You can't deny SpursMad has insider knowledge. No way. Noone, but noone, could have predicted Stuart Taylor. And he continually said "You have Tevez and RSC". He also said that City are "in for" Lescott a couple of weeks ago now and that has clearly happened too. He never said he would come. He also said that the Eto'o talks had stalled on money and, lo and behold, that same message started coming out from other sources.
There is not a chance of getting all that right.
