People need to realize JJ can say whatever the fuck he wants on JJ's twitter account. He isn't there to say whatever you like and only what you want.
People complain about pie in the sky ITK that never comes true and then shit on ITK that is less than always optimistic. Guess what guys? Our transfers windows haven't ended with high fives and footjobs the past few years so maybe a little pessimism will help you out in the long run?
This whole "opinion" nonsense is just that. He can say whatever he likes, take it for what you want but stop whining about it.

Two prominent ITKers have contradicted JJ so us poor sods who know no one at the club are left confused.

Fair enough you don't get to chose (although I doubt every tweet from JJ is posted in the RO), but get off his back - I think we have the right to come on here and say that we think his 'ITK' is bullshit.
If you want me to be more precise on why, then:
Disagree that there's nothing in Bernard, it is VERY rare that there is this amount of press about a player we're interested and there is 'nothing' in it - it might be we've moved on or the price is too high or the deal too complicated, but he doesn't say that. As for the swede scout numpty bit, that's just total opinion and frankly makes JJ look foolish, which is why there is criticism on here IMO.
There are only two possible meaning for this IMO:
1.) Baldini doesn't have a clue about whether the players we want to bring in are any good or not and in JJ's sources' eyes these players being suggested aren't good (for whatever reason).
2.) Baldini doesn't have a clue about our current set of players.
Either way I highly doubt either of these two statements are true as with statement 1.) Baldini has a lot of past success in this area and frankly it could well be that he's been bought in to get some tricky deals done for us rather than be a head scout (i.e. like what happened with Oscar and to an extent Moutinho last summer).
With statement 2.) i should think that's fair enough given that the guy isn't officially working for us right now and again hasn't been bought in to assess the state of the first team (one would think) but rather to push the club forward.
This could actually be true.

He has no f*****g clue when it comes to nanotechology. He was once quoted in "La Gazetto dello Sport" as saying "Isa thata lika tha grand-mama robotos"
He also has no goddamn clue about the capitals of Oceanic nations. In an interview with "Corriero dello Sport" he mixed up New Caledonia's capital of Noumea with Solomon Islands' capital of Honoria. Idiot! And he still thinks Saipan is Tawain's capital. It's fucking Northern Mariana Islands, you f**** goombah!
Oh and have you ever seen him make a bolognese? Doesn't even use carrots and prefers pork. PORK!!! Charlatan. A f***** charlatan I tell you.
I always chuckle when people say that they have rights to do something on a private homepage. You have zero rights.
He also knows nothing about garibaldi biscuits and what happens to them when you dunk them in a cup of tea. The man's a fool, an ignoramus, at best an idiot savant. I spit in his general direction.

We have or soon will have:
A very hands-on chairman (Levy)
A technical co-ordinator (Sherwood)
A head coach (AVB)
A technical director (Baldini)
I think they're all alpha males for whom compromise is a dirty word.
There will inevitably be arguments, skirmishes, empire building and politics galore.
Plus, of course, everyone's favourite sleezy uncle David Pleat hovering around. Maybe Pleaty will be the conciliator!
I've just depressed myself.
SO Paulinho eh? Looks good!

Them's me onions
Oh no not the onions!!!
Its amazing the kinda of stuff people read meanings into and make up stuff that do not exist.
Ok JJ's itk says Baldini is clueless, so f***ing meaning what, it could be his oponions or someone else oponions; however the jist of it all is another ITK and it doesn't mean that all is not well at the club.
Lets not start making up another doom and gloom situation of all is not well at the club, becos the next 5 itk we are bound to get is 4 backing up that stuff and finally someone saying its all good again.
Remember, it is salt time; with dat in mind; i need to donate as i have stalled a bit. here is my 12 month SC allowance in the kitty.

You only get 140 characters on twitter though, it's very difficult to write war and peace. I had to be very creative when ****ing off Stuart Pearce earlier.
For this reason, 'nothing' in Bernard at the moment can simply mean 'there's no further movement'.
It would be alot easier for Pottle. #blueandyellow

Just catching up to a lot of this, but this statement makes me think that Grey Fox just got finished putting together an end-table (or Gäpåloopö as they would call it) from Ikea and like the rest of us would considered nuking the Swedes for the nine hours he will never get back.

I think that's a phone typo, IN for ON. Eg. 'Nothing ON Bernard at the moment.' Makes a lot more sense.
Happens all the time in my phone anyway.

Think one or two of JJ's sources need to give their heads a wobble. According to them we've been coached by a fraud last season and are about to pair him up with a clueless DoF, despite them both having easily verifiable track records.
I hope they aren't board members is all or we might know exactly why our transfer business is so fucking scattergun and disjointed at times. A couple of plums keep sticking their oar in.

A bit late but I think I can clear this up for you. I reckon you have seen the lord of the rings or maybe even read the books? The swedes are like the elfs and the norwegians like the hobbits. There you go, no confusion. No need to ask who the danes would be...Not a good start to your posting history. At least you broke your duck. You can think about that when cowering in the dungeon being all embarrassed.
Or you can just roll with the original story. No-one here probably knows the difference between the Norwegians or the Swedes.... even the Swedes and Norwegians seem confused.
In terms of giving the Swedish scout a toss, I think that's where Pleat comes in.
