Reddit ITKs

Didn't mean to direct that at just you in particular. It's a more generally directed incendiary comment. Saw a spike of comments and disbelief after the point about English being his second language that I find rather disturbing. The rest of it, whatever. But that in particular , albeit subtle in some cases (didn't get that from you , mind) is bothersome.

And yes, agree about Maguire. It would be great to have him and whomever else in time for the second leg of preseason.

Why would you find that disturbing? :lol:

I think the only point people were making is that, considering we're a Manchester based club, how would a non English kid have connections there? Obviously when you stop to think then there are possibilities, but i think it's just a bit surprising.
 
He said he's not a native speaker so maybe he moved to England a few years back with his source being his parent(s) who works for the club? Idk, but he has got quite a few bits of news early this last year.

He admitted his source is someone who started messaging him on reddit.

Considering the most 'ITK' posters with connections to the academy are pretty much all non English then it isn't really surprising? How would all those people have connections to the academy?
 
So basically, all those people saying these IDKs were kids sitting in their bedrooms making stuff up were correct.
If we think logically, you genuinely have inside knowledge, someone on the inside is entrusting you with this information, why would you create a reddit account and let strangers know anonymously for free?

It’s only ever going to be bored, experimental kids with educated guesses and an urge for attention.

From one of the 2 ITKs who have done well this season. First loan. The word first makes me think it's dybala or sancho and not bale (if its true).

I'd say no to Bale on a permanent transfer, but on a loan for a season at reduced wages I'd be happy with that.

His agent said a while ago that there is no way he would leave on loan though. Things obviously can change.
 
Bale 100% will go somewhere, despite all the bravado from his agent Bale cant seriously be accepting staying at Madrid when he knows Zidane wont even put him on the bench
 
Double bluff. He's not a teenager and he's very much from England.

The worst kind of ITK. I don't believe a word that kid says.

Bale was never on our radar, so he couldn't have fallen off early. Dybala would be a possibility if Allegri was still at Juventus, but Sarri probably wants him to stay. And Sancho isn't happening unless we pay a ridiculous amount of money for him -- there's no way they'd agree to a loan.
 
So, I started my new desk job at a, let's say multi billion dollar company, endeared by many on here. I had a meeting on the bosses' floor and saw a pile of paper lying on the secretary's desk.

So, I was just standing there, minding my own business when this secretary I've never met called me over and asked if I'd be so kind as to take this to one of her supervisors. I obviously agreed.

I also stole a glance. Had to.

Be prepared. I saw three names and dates next to each one. I don't know if we're signing them or what these dates could signify. It could be nothing, nudge nudge. I believe otherwise. Hell. I'm an optimist.

Maguire (27/07), Bruno (27/07) and Savic (31/07)
Lies lies lies!! But I could be right. Instant Tier 1 ITK!
 
I think we have to call Simon out on Maguire now, apparently he'll play for Leicester tonight, not something that would happened if he really had secured a transfer away

Not sure how he got the James announcement time as that's very specific to guess, but it does seem like he's pushed his luck too far here.

There surely has to be zero chance of a loan of Dybala or Sancho!

Yep, it appears this guy has gone one step too far now.

So even the "ITK" who proves he's "ITK" by only posting occasionally is off.
Ho hum.

I can’t actually believe that people think someone close to Utd transfers would be spilling it all over Reddit and then Twitter.

Ever sit down to take a dump but only fart? That's how the ITK world is. Be patient. There is shit somewhere up there waiting to drop.

Who has said anyone is close to Utd transfers? People work in different departments at the club or are connected to the media and will hear things before publicized. They don't need to be Ed Woodward's best friend to know a transfer a day or two before.
 
I think RedCafe should just hire people, and send them "undercover" to be hired by the club. Ideally one person in marketing, one in digital, one in finance, one in... etc... and get weekly reports from those guys :lol::lol::lol:.
 
Can we put the itk bs to rest now? If the Maguire deal was close to being done, he wouldn't have played .. Leicester would never have played him considering the money at stake .
 
People are far to pessimistic when it comes to these sort of things. Wait for the slightest slip up to call it all bullshit.

You're going to have people who know things about transfers. Friends of friends who work with someone clues up etc. It's not impossible.

You're obviously going to have far more fakes than genuine ITKs, but that's no different to the tabloids and papers really.

Or RedCafe can train its own agents to seduce club employees and bug their houses, kind of like the KGB agents in the show The Americans.
