Quote from: General on August 03, 2025, 08:58:16 PMThe other thing I've noticed, is that there isn't more communication about the window from the club but also the press interviewing Marco to find out what's going on and even how many signings can be expected.. Normally that's a bare minimum.

Would the club normally communicate anything about their window intentions? Never seen this kind of thing before. Or do you mean through journalists?

Neither of things ever happen btw. Silva speaking to the Portugese press was 100x more than he's done in every other pre-season.

Marco has on the club site in an interview post one of our Portugal games.. normally journos ask questions about transfers?

Quote from: MarcusPage on August 03, 2025, 09:32:08 PMEvery club has ITKs that break news accurately and consistently.

Fulham's ITKs differ in the sense they have no connection to the club, never get anything right, make it all up and are still treated like royalty.

Quote from: I Ronic on August 03, 2025, 09:22:56 PMThere hasn't been any real news that Marco is cheesed off and ready to jump ship. I dont think Kenny would of re-signed if he thought change was in the air. I'm of the opinion that we do have a list of players that Marco, the scouts and the Chairman want to strengthen the squad. It's just an odd window. Other clubs in and around us don't seem to be able to get players in either.
   I don't think the Chairman is thinking of cashing in either. The Riverside is now almost complete. If he wanted to sell the best time would be when all the Riverside operations are up, running and making money. 
   We tailed off badly at the end of a good season. So we all know we need a stronger squad not just numbers.
   
   
Respectfully I don't think Kenny Tete knows what's happening in the boardroom. And he was perfectly ready to jump ship and go to Everton, we just gave him a big pay rise.

Was responding to 'from the club' but yeah by proxy through Marco there hasn't been many. Imagine we'll get more from him this week with British press ahead of the Frankfurt game.

Watch this space then, shall be interesting to hear what he says.

I imagine Jack Kelly will ask a couple of fan related questions re transfers..? He seems like a good kid.

According to a ITK friend of mine,who really isn't ITK,but thinks he is,has just said that Milan are in for Sterling.
My ITK friend by the way,who isn't really ITK,is a 6ft Red Squirrel who lives in an episode of Doc Martin.🐿
Goodnight and sleep well.🐿

Ian Thomas Kingston has just told me that Sammy Nelson is definitely coming in but on a loan.Will be this week. There were talks of Arsenal wanting a proper permanent transfer but for now it is a loan. I don't know if there is a view to a kill or a room with a view. But the view is that it is based on appearances if Nelson can hobble in any time soon. He has had a full pre season dinner and is ready to hit the ground.

Ian Thomas Kingston is often on some sort of narcotic. A nice lady who works for the drugs squad. But if he hears anything more he will let me know.
The above IS NOT A LEGAL DOCUMENT. It is an opinion.

We may yet hear the horse talk.

I can stand my own despair but not others hope

Quote from: iansthailand on August 03, 2025, 10:11:00 AMHere we go again. Keyboard warriors trying to spoil the fun. DM has said many times he's not an ITK he just repeats what he's been told. We've lost MJG and WSW and the board is poorer for it because of abuse. i don't want to lose another one. So would the 12 year olds go to another forum and cry because someone might or might not as the case maybe know more than they do.

WSW wasn't even a Fulham fan, Didn't he get sussed out by someone on here,a lorry driver from Lewes who supported Palace.😅

If your not ITK,dont pretend that you are.

And a whole bunch of us wish the lot of you would shut up on the subject and let the silly season be the silly season. Why do the few always have to try and ruin it?

Let the rest of us enjoy the thread and read the comments they send our way. ITK or not, I'd rather read their entertaining comments than yet another post complaining about the fact that an ITK isn't 100% correct. I'd imagine even Tony would get a few wrong now and again.

Deli Ali released by Como.
Dont want him here,but what has happened to this lad,his career has gone downhill faster than a rollercoaster.
Had so much talent at one time.

Such a shame, must be having some real difficulties in recent years and would hate to assume what that would be, but what a talented player he was during his prime at Spurs. His best year was 18G 9A in 37 PL Appearances, phenomenal at his peak.

Hope he finds somewhere that can reignite his passion for the game and give him a safe space to get back on track.

Nobody trying to ruin it.
Just dont like liars who make up nonsense,and pretending they ITK when they aren't.
Still if it makes people like you happy,then that's fine by me.
Enjoy your day,and let's hope we actually get someone through the door.Coyw.

Didn't he come out acknowledging some mental health issues and trauma of sorts based on his childhood?

It takes a brave man to try and deal with things like that head on, particularly brave to expect himself to function like he used to.

It changes your values significantly. Being competitive goes out the window a lot.


Edit: yeah, he did..

Quite a powerful read:
