Does that not reek as a stupid transfer strategy if true though? Seriously, Dortmund don't want to sell, so let is show them how much they want to sell him by showing we can go for other players? :lol:

Why would Dortmund care about that anyway? :lol:

I agree with you guys, just the messenger.

Also, it being stupid probably makes it more likely we have done it.

I was thinking this, was a bit random. Think Spoofex suggested that Dortmund would be more open to selling after their triple purchase last week.
 
The only thing I've learned from this experience is that Reddit just might be the worst website ever. How do people navigate that shit without going insane after 5 seconds?

Anyway, to so this isn't a completely off-topic post - I hope we get De Ligt it would be cool.
 
Just a note on Spoof tbf, a day or 2 ago he said Sancho was still on but we're going to leak that we're interested in Griezmann and Bale to show Dortmund there are other options. Today we got linked with Griezmann in mainstream media.
That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the Griezmann stories coming out today

It’s fantastic for content, but it’s a shitshow to navigate I agree.
 
All I'm thinking is, if Reddit really took off during the Sniejder saga there would be carnage.
 
Is It me or is Reddit very awkward to use?
And near impossible to actually find the quotes all those people are getting seriously hyped up on?

Are they taking one bloke saying we've had a bid accepted, and translating it as "Mutliple" ITKs are individually stating it? Ultimate Chinese whispers?
 
Feck it...
I'm getting on the Muppet Train and riding it to Muppestville.
Welcome to Old Trafford Matthijs!
 
Fooling over-eager fans on redcafe is probably how they get their kicks. Actually, he's probably on here right now. Go kick his ass for making you look bad.



TBF It works if they want the money right here right now. But yes otherwise it makes no sense.

I did post an ever so slight disclaimer saying was it a legit journalist, with just 400 followers! Then added loads of exclamation marks to the he "says it done" comment! I was't actually claiming it as done myself.
 
If we dont sign De Ligt can we please ban the reddit ITK's on here?

We've been linked to Griezmann for the past 3 seasons . Doesn't take genius to predict we'll be linked once again.

All will be forgiven. And quite soon I think. Heck, what if he's real?

He predicted the exact timing.

So he's correctly predicted one thing that was 100% likely to occur after Griezmann's failure to sign for Barca yet. His 2nd prediction is for Bale to be linked to us too? He doesn't take any chances, does he.

Also, to what end would we be trying to pretend to Dortmund that we're not interested in Sancho? They don't want to sell him anyway.

Spoofex is backing up one OP yes. I think he's using mosaic theory though, in that what he is saying is correlating with Spoofex' own sources.

A brief timeline from how I understood it was:

- Spoofex gave his transfer roundups and always said De Ligt is a target, but he wants Barcelona.
- He then went on to say we will bid for Koulibali once De Ligt is finalised to Barcelona (on the off chance there are stumbling blocks I guess).
- He said the Napoli president is difficult to deal with so Koulibali is off. And then he said we are looking to bid for De Ligt on the off-chance he is won over by us offering everything. I think Spoofex then said he still expected De Ligt's reps to use us as leverage against Barcelona to get the deal with them.
- Today someone else said we've had a bid accepted, and that we are nearing the finishing line in agreeing with the player. This guy claims his sources are marketing and scouting insiders.
- Spoofex replied to say "verified". He said it also correlates to what he's been told all week, that we've made a bid but now it looks like it might be on.
 
Also I asked Spoofex on Reddit if he thinks that the terms have been agreed with De Ligt or just with Ajax, he's now backing back a bit it looks:



The OP says bid accepted by Ajax and nearing finish line on negotiations with player, but Spoofex saying "I'm still processing everything" doesn't sound as convincing as I thought :lol:

Won't get too excited in fairness.

And to be honest, hoping a 19 year old player coming into England is some kind of world star straight away is a little bit of a stretch!

Even Rio at perhaps 4 years older was it, took time to mature

I'm sort of in the same boat. Pretending not to be sucked in, and already angry at this all being bogus :lol:

...last post of the day (limit). You all keep the momentum rolling, I believe in you!

He's full of shit

He is processing what?? Do his sources fax out a 30 page briefing report?
 
Has anyone thought about the NYSE yet? surely they are closed through the long weekend now..

:lol: not sure if serious on the NYSE thing.. but I think press have embargos lifted at 10:30? Or is that just a myth.

Pretty sure that that's not a thing, and has never been a thing, and has proven not to be a thing many times.

But we all forget that it isn't a thing every Summer.

EDIT - Ah, I've been had.
 
Jesus these ITK guys have these poor kids on an absolute piece of string. Wouldn’t be surprised if they start asking for money to reveal transfers news
