Hasn't ric and other mods already said tolmie is genuine.
His info is generally bob on and most on here including myself like to read what he post.
Poorer transfer forum without him that's for sure.

With the greatest of respect, again, if I was a moderator here and saw someone who contributed to site traffic to the degree that TH does/did, then I'd call him genuine as well.

Fact is that - regardless of what TH does for a living - if he is not working FOR MCFC there is absolutely no reason why he would know any more than anyone else when it comes to who we are interested in or after.


You can get good itk from other sources, a good example is Van Persie.
A lass at a marketing agency told her gooner bf they had a call of Arsenal to cancel any new promo stuff with RVP in it and destroy it.
This was days before anyone even had a clue about the RVP situ beyond Arsenal suit's.

I consider that itk to a pretty respectable level.

Not debating the validity of TH but to say someone has to work for City to be "itk" is utter nonsense.

Nope, to be ITK on everything we are working on. If it's only at negotiation stage people outside teh club wouldnt know. It's not like we use the same intermediaries or deal with the same agents on every deal. It's not like travel agents would know, or limo drivers, or hotel bookers. So how TH knows everything on all of our targets (remember 'coming in 3's' ?) then god only knows........<br /><br />-- Wed Aug 08, 2012 8:46 am --<br /><br />

OK, that lkast one is nonsense on a bunch of levels. Marketing agencies genuinely do not have the stuff in stock sitting in a warehouse on their premises. they would not be asked to destroy something until he was out of the door, either. That is sooooooooooooo, friend of a friend of a firends lasses dog, that it's funny.........
 
So has TH gone then ??, that's very sad indeed, his "clues" weren't my cup of tea but I know lots on here enjoyed his posts.

I think his cryptic style was self defeating though because the only people with the time to try and work out his clues are the idiots sat around all day waiting for Giro day reading his clues inbetween Jeremy Kyle shows and they are hard wired to abuse anything they don't understand, which is most things.
 
Forget the bans for dodgy rumours, surely most of us can make up our own minds if someone is bullshitting or not.

Get rid of this that can't and feel the need to abuse if a rumour doesn't cone true. They add nothing to the forum.

Don't be so silly, that's not what you originally posted, and you know it - I've underlined it in case you need reminding...

There are loads of ways that people could hear snippets of info, ffs it could be as basic as being friends with someone who is high up at City or related to our legal team etc.

I assume you've been banned on here before considering you're rather opinionated for someone who in theory has only been on here for a couple of months - who were you previously and why were you banned?
 
This has all happened mainly down to the fact that Sinclair did not sign as more or less predicted would yesterday.

TH cryptic clues are to be honest a bit of a pain in the arse,but fun none the less,but yesterdays arguments/abuse all started through that.

Maybe its better that nothing is mentioned until the player is actually at Carrington or Bupa hospital or whatever,because lets face it we all know who our potential signings are this summer,Agger,Sinclair ?,De Rossi and maybe another RVP ?

You only have to read the papers,or see SSN to see that,so TH is telling us nothing new to be fair

The ban hammer could come down on every subject on BM as for me its been a bloody long summer,but take into the fact MODS that frustrations run high when theres no football.

A lot have said that TH usually does this every close season,spits the dummy,but then returns,I personally have never taken much notice even though I have over 3500 posts and been a member for over 3 years,this is the first time I have got involved in the thread cause as I said its been a long summer

So for me keep it open
 
I think it's very sad that posters get abused for expressing their opinions. I, for one, will miss Tolmies posts and I am sure that everything he posted was truthful. None of us know what is going to happen in life, never mind a transfer of a football player. Players/agents change their minds for whatever reason. This forum will be a more boring place without him.

Best way to do this is just to find ITK that come through for you. I've got 3 verified ITK that I can rely on. Don't care if they're the CEO of City or a guy on his couch. It doesn't really matter as long as the info pans out.

Just ignore the rest.

Its not wrong, worked in marketing, involved is a hush hush merger. We had a load of material - t shirts, banners, adverts etc all lined up for when it was announced, we had to pulp the lot. - But we didn't have the inside scope on what went on at the top table

Once again, we are not talking about someone hearing snippets of info on 1 or 2 deals, we are talking about someone who pretty much claimed to know our entire transfer strategy and list of targets....... and I am opinionated, yes, but have never been on here (other than as a reader) before that.

Why, you after getting me banned 'cos I have an opinion ? LOL.

and every other Forum on here. I've never quite understood why you need to abuse a poster if you don't agree with them. Maybe type a response to the thing you don't agree with, but I really don't get why people have to turn it into abuse. There's probably more abuse in Off Topic/The Cellar than any other Forum.

In my experience Off Topic is by far the worse Forum on here for that, then people come on to the Transfer Forum and expect to call everyone a ****, and that kind of thing should be strictly limited to Off Topic. Some of us didn't sign up to Bluemoon to slag fellow blues off, and in TH I definitely recognize a fellow blue, who shouldn't have to put up with the constant questioning of his status, which has been vouched for on numerous occasions by Ric and others. If you think he's a charlatan, steer clear of his threads. If you think the Transfer Forum is populated by idiots, steer clear of it and enjoy the other Forums.

No that's your opinion and you have fuck all idea when Arsenal ordered x from x agency.
They were asked to stop print of what they were making and remove RVP from it.

You assumed a hell of a lot from my post there and you have an opinion, nothing more.
The stuff could have just started printing ? why do you assume i meant they had it all lay around in a warehouse ?.

Do you work for a marketing agency ?

Point is that you would not have it on your premises (as the manufacture or storage would take place at a different site), and you would not have been asked to pulp the lot until it was signed, sealed and delivered. And yep, you wouldnt have had the knowledge of what was going on at the top table.
 
DN

Do agree in general with your post, some of the abuse dished out by the infojunkies on here is madness. We also need to be careful that in promoting the freedom of speech type scenario that we have to avoid the "my granny's nextdoor neighbour has a sick cat who can talk to owls and one particular owl lives in a tree in RVP's back gargen and according to him.........

One last major annoyance and this is probably personal but posters who go so completely off topic and carry out a private abuse battle on the "Agger" thread!

Perhaps there should be an "Abuse" forum, kinda like a naughty step where angry people should be redirected at least until they go back to school....
 
Thread title asks us what to do.

Why not give TH the option of a transfer window thread where only he can post? That way he can share his info without the other stuff that clogs the thread. Then, we can decide to read or not, plus the trolls won't be able to disrupt the thread.

He just smashed your point and you move the posts.

The point you just made here was not the point you made previously or would you like me to quote you ?

Edit:: already quoted :D

The stuff could have just started printing ? why do you assume i meant they had it all lay around in a warehouse ?.

Do you work for a marketing agency ?

Because you said that they had to destroy rather than change the design. And whilst I own my own company, nope, it is not a marketing agency. And when you say that I have no idea (not quite the words you used, but bear with me) of what they ordered, you have to admit that neither do you. You have no idea of that, of the name of the woman, of the marketing agency, of the supposed gooner fan, YET you take it as a credible source.

Wanna buy some magic beans ? :-D
