Hertyid adding his input to the Depay 'story' on Coys:

''Today, 10:08 AM

Not to dismiss others but I have heard nothing on this and would be surprised to see Chadli leave.''

Also, Trix is off on one of his fishing trips-normally involves agents and a few snippets of ITK at the end. So something to look forward to and keep you going if it's a barren day!

You swine Tibsy! I had just come back after an hour long search to post this measly scrap of information and you beat me to it!

Its really quiet out there today, even on other clubs forums although I suppose its early doors yet. ill keep searching.

Really hope we've tied up MM as per that ITK from last night. Would love him & Verts to become our Ferdinand/Vidic combo (when they were good that is)

not trying to come across as ITK bashing here but maybe Ali-Z's info should be left in the thread and not in the RO? i know that this happens with less known/reliable sources & IMO with him claiming Lascelles was 'signed' maybe we shouldn't treat his info as strongly as others like JJ & Grey Fox? just a thought, don't want to come across as bashing, sorry if I have broken any rules A&C!

I guess the donations predicament is a case of the few, funding the site ,for the benefit of the many who don't.
Are you able to disclose how many of the members donate regularly ? Not names just numbers.

When we have a donation drive more than half the amount raised always comes from a few people donating large amounts (£50-100).

We really appreciate every penny but we do rely on a tiny fraction of people to sustain us.

A post about ITK? Here in the ITK Discussion Thread?

*faints

Much like POTL did you mean? And I think we all agree he couldn't be blamed. We just don't know where or how far down the informational food chain Ali Z is, but it all goes in the book, so each person can make his or her own judgements as to whose information they pay more attention to.

There are ITK's I give more weight to than others but generally I apply salt to all of it. You pays your money and you makes your choice.

The thing with Ali, who I know personally, is that he is 100% honest, and 100% Spurs, and one of the nicest fellas you will ever meet in your whole life. He knows lots of people, some of whom are genuinely close to some of the deals/dealers in various capacities. But other of his contacts are less reliable, and he just passes things on. Even reliable info can be mistaken, and less reliable sources can get it right, so if you enjoy the ITK game the best thing is to get what you can and not take any of it too seriously.

You should just take all info with its dose of salt mate, none of the info can be 100% certain and many ITKs will tell you things change at the drop of a hat.

 

[Daredevil]

I've made a measly £10 donation. I wish it could be more!

And while there's every chance this may come back to bite me in the arse, I'm not fussed about Depay. I'm more excited to see what Poch can do with what we've got. Especially Holtby.

 

[Conando]

£20 on route!

 

[Monkey boy]

£20 on route!

To be top run scorer? Anyway, perhaps you should take this to the betting thread

Thanks for this post, it really helps when someone can back up the fact that it is a genuine fan/person we are hearing from.

Speaking as a long-time and regular lurker, I want to apologise for not being able to contribute any cash at present. Things really, really are that tight. I'm self-employed and the past few years have been pretty hellish, and now the work seems to have dried up again. That said, when I can, I will definitely aim to contribute regularly to this fantastic site. But, if it's a case of keeping SC going, even in my position, I'd back a members' annual subscription. It seems wholly unfair that just a few people help Rob keep this place going financially. Sorry, I know it's not really the place for this, but I just wanted to donate something, even if it's only a few words right now.

 

[spurslenny]

Ashamed to say I've never donated a penny to SC, despite being a serial lurker and sometime poster.

Off work sick today and using the time to read various posts and threads on this brilliant site.

Anyway, £10 donated.

 

[arunspurs]

Interesting that this rumor is only told by newspapers,especially English.

I wonder if this is yet another decoy set by Levy, for someone like Konoplyanka.

Given, Kono is on last year of his contract & agent issue, may be we are giving a signal to them and probably looking to drive the price down.

 

[Spurs Lodge Kittens]

I've just donated for the first time and also set up an additional monthly contribution of £2. I'll barely even notice it on my monthly bills going forward so more than happy to donate this way.

I also feel i owe SC after making transfer pledges last year totalling around £50 and none of them came off!!
The likes of Bale staying, Aubemayang signing, a new starting LB to be signed and an announcement that work on the stadium would begin amongst others... and none came off last year (two have this year though!)

Well there's a lot of rumours that seem to involve left wingers. Which would make me confident that we've at least targeted that position, if not any of the specific names we've heard.

 

[SpartanSpur]

Pledges updated, hoping to donate at least £25 more before the window shuts...
