Doesn't look like this has been posted already so, courtesy of Melsey over the road....



Never claimed to be ITK before but just got back from a holiday and I was with a football agent. He is also a Spurs fan, so hope I got some info from him that wasn't just "agent talk"

1) Robbo def on his way out
2) Chimonda definitely leaving
3) Berbatov will not go - no one can afford him
4) Lennon going nowhere
5) Lee a goner


few other things he mentioned, says he thinks Commolli is ok, but got so much to learn

he brought Berbs to England and showed him to United, Liverpool, Ar5ena1 and they weren't interested.

he also brough Zokora to England and showed him to Portsmouth and West Ham, they were not interested...

finally, he believes alot of managers are clueless with their scouting networks, rates Ramos very highly. But unfortunately he rates Whinger above them all, says he is a genius. He says that we will show players from the little leagues in Africa to many teams in the top 10, and Wenger will be the only one to already have a video on them

Passing this all on in good faith

PLTuck - thanks for passing that on.

One observation: the agent ITK claims that Wenger passed on Berbatov. And, a few breaths later, that Wenger is a genius.

:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:


Still, if the ITK is correct, then Don Juande Ramos is keeping Berba. :grin:

And a little later from Hoofharted (has links to Darren Bent). Info always seems solid.


1. Robbo def wants away.
2. Chimbonda will be off.
3. Berbatov,Yanited still after him and Citeh could afford him.
4. Lennon, not what I have heard.
5. Lee already agreed to go back to PSV.
6. Kaboul, going.
7. KPB, going.
8. Tainio, going.

There are others that the management team are undecided about, for various reasons, but if acceptable offers came in, and replacements available, they would be allowed to go.

Agents, bless em.

That was followed by this from HoofHearted, who is another ITK over there, although his record hasn't been sterling lately

I have been subsequently banned from that site today

I won't be able to get on the site to help the rumor thread this summer :violin:

I wonder which hospital Tainio might be going this time as he has tried those all and no one haven't really fixed him :think:

I'm sure the Lee back to PSV story has surfaced previously.

None of the rest is that surprising.

Really hope we keep Kaboul, will be sad to see Teems go...I think Robbo was kind of a foregone conclusion. I'm a little surprised that KPB is/might be going because I heard or read somewhere that Ramos was a fan.

Poor Deadwood; aren't most members of SC banned from COYS? :razz:

Tainio's contract must be within 18 months so it may be a case of getting a price for him before he goes Bosman.

Ramos himself has said there won't be major upheaval and that he's in the main happy with the squad - just one or two positions need strengthening.

That to me, means the conjecture surrounding the likes of KPB and Kaboul is wishful thinking on some alleged itk's part.

City, with their dodgy Thai money, may be one of the few clubs in the world who could afford a £35-40 million fee for Berba plus huge wages.

But fwiw SC member "Berbati" has always said that the issue for Berba is playing, and potentially winning, at the highest club level: Champions League. And City can't offer that to him. So, I really don't think Berba would go to City.

On the rest, I'm sure a lot of moves are dependent on whether Ramos thinks we can sign a better player in the relevant position. And if other ITK (eg JJ falling out with Ramos) is to be believed, then Jenas may have to prove himself all over again in the next few games. Otherwise, we may get Sven to offer us a shedload of Thai bahts for one of his favourite players.

JJ (or even Lennon) to City would be far more credible to me than Berba to City...

Yeah, but to join the true elite you have to be banned when you haven't even posted there. So what did you do, DD?

And if other ITK (eg JJ falling out with Ramos) is to be believed, then Jenas may have to prove himself all over again in the next few games. Otherwise, we may get Sven to offer us a shedoad of Thai bahts for one of his favourite players.

I misread this as 'babes'. Must get my eyes checked.

I am elite then.

1st Ban) not posting enough, but was able to be reinstated.

2nd Ban) sarcastic religious comment

3rd Ban) saying the site for had too many "weird threads", like "if you had to have gay sex, who would you do". That was an actual thread that was going strong this morning. And it probably wasn't the oddest.

Not ITK but it wouldnt surprise me if we only signed 3 players in the summer, CM, CB and a left winger, possibly added to that a couple for the future. As for ITKs, and COYS, what a load of tosh, i was also a member a year ago, unfortunately i didnt conform to there standards of not being able to have an opinion, and not worshipping the ITKs as some do. The most genuine ITK on there was the kid who got the Zokora transfer spot on, he even had a few pics, the others unless its changed, gave out stupid cryptic messages, and never really nailed it before most people knew anyway.DeadwoodDem i wouldnt lose any sleep over it mate, you wont be missing much.

I got my current ban for saying many on COYS react to ITKs like adolescents discovering porn for the first time. :)

I'm still a member but look likely to lose it in the summer cull. The ITK's are the reason I still visit, I could just buy a copy of the NOTW on a Sunday but that wouldn't be as much fun.

Guys, i know your only discussing the reasons why you may or may not have been banned from COYS but we'd be grateful if this thread doesn't descend into a 'slating another site thread' and rather it be kept on topic.
