The ITK Thread (First Post Regularly Updated With New Info)

[Verm]

Seeing as posting this stuff in other threads seems to wind people up I thought this may be a good idea.

Only post in here any transfer rumours/information from any supposed 'ITK's that you deem to be reliable.

Clearly state where the info came from and I'll update this post regularly.


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER: The sources named in here are by no means oracles of Everton related information, just people whose information in the past has been deemed as reliable by others. Things posted in this thread are by no means 100% fact until they happen and no-one should take it as fact. Also worth noting that deals can fall through and change at any point, this doesn't make the original information untrue.

Is right Verm, didnt the same "ITK" say Pranjic was signing this weekend?

[MmmblueBernard]

They're all full of shit to various degrees. The best thing you can do is not follow any of them. That way you are never let down.

Rodallega talking to stoke and sunderland according to johnmerro

[Sir Stealth]

Sir Stealth - Jose Baxter is signing for crystal palace, spotted in the 'Baines to Man U' thread.  I personally spoke to a Restauranteur who spoke to Baxter himself directly!BOOM! (still hasn't happened!)

[Makis]

As I said on the other thread, people tend to draw conclusions too quickly. And deals can collapse or be delayed at the last minute so even if something doesn't happen it doesn't mean it wasn't genuine info.

But of course 90% (at least) is pure bullshit generated either by the press (to sell papers) or by attention-seekers.
