These accounts are just chancers who occasionally get stuff right minutes before someone else, they just know how to read rumours and then blag it I used to follow this specific ITK when I was on twitter. There's 100% more to him than just chancing it and getting lucky. He does genuinely know stuff ahead of time. I dont know who he is or where he gets info, but he absolutely categorically does have some level of ITK info. I tend to agree with BYG that he has some track on early signing announcements etc but the broad sweeping statements he makes are often inaccurate so his source is probably someone in the media team or whatever rather than someone in the scouting dept.

Alex Moss 2,165 Posted July 27, 2021 Joking apart, it does sound like the French market is one to keep an eye on, wouldn’t be surprised to see some more faces come in from Ligue 1 as Webber talked about the financial difficulties out there right now, and as ruthless as it sounds, I think we’ll be looking to exploit that further, would certainly make sense.

Ha ha I was actually just thinking about whether managers etc have a word with new signings from such leagues and ask them with their valuable inside knowledge if there were any players that stood out to them etc that might be worth having a look at. I’m sure it must happen, and who knows, Lees-Melou for instance might have offered a recommendation to at least check out anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jpootz 15 Posted July 27, 2021 Lees-Melou came from Nice so maybe it’s his family being flown over. Would the club hire a private jet for that? The previous one intrigues me the most though as the flight history for it said that it flew into London yesterday from Liege in Belgium. Liege don’t seem to have any players that would be of interest to us but Genk is nearby and that doesn’t have an airport that I know of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well hopefully, Jpootz, you’re on to something here and have rumbled our next signing 🙏 Don't think Webber would have come out publicly and said we were still after quite a few players if he wasn’t confident he’d secure them, he’d just be leaving himself wide open and he’s not silly enough to do that. So I’m confident we’ll see things hot up soon enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kirku 1,331 Posted July 27, 2021 3 hours ago, Bethnal Yellow and Green said: Yes, but it is one thing knowing a transfer when it is going to happen but it is a completely different thing to know how the overall strategy is going. This ITK also got Ajer badly wrong, and didn’t seem to know about PLM or Rashica. I would trust it for early signing announcements, but take it with a pinch of salt when it makes grand statements about how the whole window is going. I typed a proper reply but the forum decided to crap itself. Again. Long story short, looks like they knew about PLM but not the specifics. But agree that it's more likely they've got tactical level info than strategic, and a good point about irrelevance of "A-Z" list if they improve the team...

On second thoughts, although I’m not 100% sure of the rules I’m guessing anyone coming into London from Belgium yesterday would’ve had to quarantine in London first before coming here so it’s probably unlikely to be a foreign player. Perhaps a player from a London club then? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perhaps there's a temporary position for someone undercover 🙂 Seriously, I have a sense we will have a definite story by the end of this week. We may well do our business late this time but DF will want as many to bond and get to know playing styles and patterns before our first game. I'm definitely expecting a signing by the weekend.🤞 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to be clear, that's 27,000 that can get into the ground, plus the many thousands who look in from afar or who can't go, the whole of Norfolk who are interested in the football. Lets say conservatively say another 50,000 around the world. That's at least 75,000 and probably a lot more than that of Norwich supporters who would prefer Cantwell to stay. Just to be clear, I've criticised him in the past, but he has more than answered those criticisms and is growing into maturity a fine player and about to produce his best football for the club over the next season or two. Sell him now? You must be joking, or trolling, more like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
