Do they sometimes wait, is there a favorite day?

The club tend to do most media stuff including announcements on a Friday.

Obviously not always the case, Ramsey and Grant were announced on a Saturday.

Once the itk members of this forum have all said "heard it here first" generally.

Hahaha, I love the ITK posts. No one got a clue what's going on at the club to be honest. Transfers, news from behind the scenes - nothing.

Only one or 2 reporters, not people who used to punch Millwall or Leeds fans, might get a whiff of a transfer sometimes.
But news that comes from 'upstairs' comes out when the club are ready for it. Not in the trust meetings either as they say what they want to say and sometimes what they want the attendees to hear.

You couldn't be more wrong.

Which one or two reporters are you referring to? Because almost all stories about new players have been on here a long time before any of the media, particularly Wales Online, have reported it.

A few things get rumoured on twitter as well which end up being posted on here, again a long time before Wales Online report it.

There will of course be a few rumours that aren't true, I saw something yesterday and posted it on here - that turned out not to be true (I've never claimed to be ITK and I'm not).

But the track record of some people on here (and on twitter to be fair) is very strong. Even some names that were mentioned that didn't happen, have been proved to have truth to them. One of them for example is Ejuke, who in the end turned us down.

Most of the information that comes out about transfers doesn't happen when the club want it to by the way. In fact they were unhappy that the Ejuke stuff was leaked.

So you saying "nobody has a clue what's going on at the club" is factually incorrect.

Its very easy to say "they were posted well before" if you call "Today there will be a signing and I can't tell you who" an actual rumour that they know something about.

That shit is posted daily so of course now and again it's going to happen.

Who knew about the two which went completely under the radar this window? No one.

It's not like that at all. The players are named on here and they have been named well before Wales Online have done so.

Its exactly like that.

Two weren't even mentioned on here until they were announced by the club.

We've signed five players this summer. Ugbo, Goutas, Meite, Grant and Ramsey. Every single one of them were mentioned on here before the club made any announcement.

Please post the links for each.

They were not all posted here beforehand.
