Matheus Nunes

[decmancity]

He was available last year from Sporting for 38m, and we didn't go and do it.

What has that got to do with anything?
We didn't need him last year.

 

[Kippaxpete]

He would definitely take the squad's handsomeness rating down a point.

Christ, we'd better not sign Olmo then!

 

[Coatigan]

Would be interesting to for once be the club that signs a player on loan with an option to buy.

Did we not? How come we signed Phillips. That's not a post shitting on Phillips by the way, just saying we signed a more expensive player from the PL as opposed to a cheaper one from abroad, that you were talking about.

 

[Mr. Wednesday]

It only takes one person to screenshot the info and it’ll be in here within an hour.

Hope it’s a success for him, but there’s only one way of finding out and trying it.

Plus he would need to be spot on with his info pretty much all the time, would he not? Why pay for inaccurate information?

Good luck if he goes for it but I have serious doubts about how viable it is.

Oh shit, tolmie could be going behind a paywall soon, there’ll be even more blaggers trying to fill the void with free ‘info’ than we currently have.

Should 100% do it. I’ve seen loads of other club sources do it, if Tolmie is sacrificing time and money to provide us this information, then I would certainly support it. A patreon would be a great idea, like the one ExWHU has for information. That way no one can steal your info and will have to credit you for it. @tolmie's hairdoo

Iain Dowie waiting in the wings as Pep's replacement.

I'm not sure how you monetise ITK information like this. Aggregators will just pay and then repost the info for millions to get it free. The first bluemooner who reads it will repost it on here.

Good luck to him though.

Yeah, it’s not something I would pay for. ExWHUemployee is pretty much West Ham’s tolmie and I believe he gives updates behind a paywall (Patreon), or at least some of his updates anyway. But they then just get posted on forums, Twitter, Reddit etc.

Not a prayer it works, imo.

 

[Mayor West]

Absolutely nothing against tolmie in the slightest, but anyone paying for itk info a few days/hours before everyone else knows really needs their head testing.

I hope he earns some coin out of it as well,it'll stop my mind working too hard with the fucking music video clues we used to get anyway :)

Yep but those who pay will know info FIRST that what some fans like to first to read or hear! It going on social 5mins later wouldn't bother them...

 

[leo_city]

rather wait for a marquee signing than just plug the gaps and call it a day. So if Nunes really happens it’s nice but if not it’s not the end of the world

 

[Kippaxpete]

They were spot on for ages with the Gvardiol deal though? Price, timeline etc?

Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.

Depends on how it’s set up. If it’s only as an ITK Clubcall type venture, then it would have to be pretty accurate.

It’d be a hard balance to make as he obviously can’t out his sources or make it clear to the club who is leaking info.

Or realize that there are more things to life than having up to minute news on a football club.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Might as well try and see though. Not going to take loads of money to start it.

He’ll be too busy sorting out the unruly kids fin a few weeks anyway!

Surely it’s the engagement he should monetise, through sponsorship/ads etc rather than the info itself. ExWHUemployee has 151k followers on Twitter. CityXtra I think are approaching 700k. In time, with our online fanbase growing as fast as it is, tolmie could honestly have 250k followers, I don’t think that’s farfetched if he commits to it.

 

[Mid Wales blue]

Am I correct or incorrect (could well be the latter) that Tolmie's reasoning for no longer posting on here as he used to (complete with cryptic music vids et al) was that he was starting a new job and so wouldn't have the time ?

(only to turn up on X posting several times a day).

And now going behind a paywall.

If my recollection of this timeline is wrong, please feel free to correct me (I only flit on a few times a day), but if not it seems a bit, erm, fishy.

It maybe a red herring!

Yeah, maybe it can be done. My thinking is probably biased as I would never consider paying for stuff like that. Power to him if he can make it work.
