Actual signings?

Wed Aug 09, 2023 8:01 pm

After countless threads detailing players will be signing in 24 or 48 hours, which haven't happened, does anyone have any actual solid leads which allude to us signing anyone?

Names are always held back from these posts as are positions. It would be nice for someone who is "itk" to actually step up with something worthwhile.

We are all city fans, or is it because you want to feel important?

To be fair it was Bulut himself who said he was looking at 2 signings before tonight’s game.

That being said there is a certain chancer on Twitter who seems to be indulging in the attention claiming to be ITK which is just a bit sad really as his picture shows that he’s a fully grown man

So you create another thread having a go at other threads about people commenting on future signings. :banghead:

Or do you just want to feel important :roll:

Not people commenting. People who consistently post random rubbish claiming to be in the know.

Clearly you have bought into it.

I find it interesting to read posts on people's views on who's going to sign. I definitely don't buy into them, just makes for good reading. :ayatollah:

Nobody knows who's coming in tbh they just chuck an obvious "player due to sign" off some rumour twitter post and hope they do but anyone can do that. I don't listen to 90% of the bullshit in the media or online unless it's on the ccfc official website is crap untill it happens how I've always looked at it otherwise we would have signed 20 players in the last two weeks if you go on online crap but some of the names people make up for a post are embarrassing from them as if there living on another planet. :bluescarf:

Do you find it hard to understand or read who actually said about the eg - 48 hours ???
Your basically having a pop at our manager who said it - NOT ME - Posting his quote .... ;)
Try and keep up - How ever hard it is for you to understand ... Here is the quote from him NOT ME ;)

Erol Bulut has stated at least one will come in before Wednesday night's Carabao Cup clash against Colchester United.

..... Noted ... and he's just left this board as I posted the above ;)

It wasn't a post just about that thread that you posted, as you can see I referenced multiple topics, or are you just making out that you can't read to appear like you're being victimised?

Oh yes of course I went offline as soon as you posted that intentionally, not as if I had stuff to do or work this morning.

I wasn't posting it specifically to have a pop at you but to be fair pal you've taken that well to heart it seems.

Your right it was not just about my thread - But you made it known on here - As for the other threads could not care ...
Taken it to hard... Don't think so ;) This is about defending what you got wrong ,because you still don't get it :o
For the last time and as others have told you - Those words came from Our Manager and not Me = He is Not ITK :shock:

I previously commented on you for not challenging posters opinions which you disagree with rather than trying to discredit them due to their low posting numbers and inferring they must be previous posters who have been banned.

Seems you have not learnt anything and continue to do the same thing

Also note you didn't reply to my previous posting about this but instead put up this cowardly response in other thread.

This is how I feel about transfer speculation or any speculation. If there is a thread stating we are going to sign a player within 48 hours then that is good enough for me. If there is further information which is clearly stated as speculation e.g. it is a striker, CM, CF etc. then I am grateful but will wait for the outcome.

I have no right to know the inner workings of the club but I'm grateful for any hints true or not of what might be going on.

TBH mate I understood what you were inferring, but I can also see how some of the other posters would interpret it differently. Public forums are a nightmare for getting context correct, we all get it wrong at some point.

I think it was harsh for the moderator to make that comment about when you left the forum. When you log on or off is totally irrelevant and a cowardly attempt to dismiss you.

However, the moderator was correct to point out that it was Bulut who made the 48hr 'player signing prediction' and he was only relying that message.

I would guess there are very few ITK know people and ultimately the only really ITK people are those running the club. Circumstances can change within minutes so someone who is ITK at this moment might not be in ten minutes time.

I agree with what you said. I didnt mean to take it out on the mod at all but at that specific point in time it was frustrating (I'm aware it was Bulut who said it)

We are all city fans at the end of the day hoping for the same outcome

What's his name then??? I'm going to say we got a defender coming in but can't name him because I'm pretending to be in the know also. It's just as viable as most these shitty posts who really dont know feck all :roll:

Re: Actual signings?

Sun Aug 13, 2023 1:47 pm

Was talking to Goutas' cousin walking to the ground yesterday. He said that there is definitely a holding midfielder coming soon but wouldn't give me his name. ;)

Of course you were. And it’s very convenient that his ‘cousin’ knows what’s going on at the club :laughing6:

As mentioned by Bluebird1977, the crying out for attention to appear to be ITK is really quite pathetic. Perhaps his cousin is on the transfer committee :sleepy2:

Re: Actual signings?

I don't claim to be in the know. Just relaying some information. Only talked to him for 15 mins as we walked towards canton, he seemed genuine enough. Now wind your neck in......

Apologies, but without your express permission, I was away yesterday and missed both game and Forum... :ayatollah:

Coward.. ? :? :lol: Hmmm, it must be true because you said it...! ;) :roll: :lol:

IMHO you are a fraud and your 'claim' to be a long time voyeur without posting doesn't wash; particularly as your latest profile was only created a few days ago, yet you are already in 'full flow' with a self-perceived knowledge of the Forum, it's operators and its members...

Of course, I could be wrong; but in your world it must be true because I said it... :clap:

For the record, I didn't respond to your previous 'dig' because I didn't feel it needed responding to; you simply jumped on to that particular post to make a deliberate comment aimed at 'having a pop' at me for reasons only known to you at this stage but which I suggest are that our paths have crossed before...

I feel certain our paths will cross again on here and I look forward to it; a shrinking violet I most certainly am not... :ayatollah:
