The Boleyn Insider has given us the wisdom of his thoughts again clearing up rumours on Angelo Ogbonna, Alvaro Arbeloa, Charlie Austin and Stewart Downing – not that they haven’t been cleared up before!
We’re assuming there are a few of you who remain interested in the thoughts of an ‘ITK’ who may exist in reality (unlikely) or in the mind of an employee who would or should know more than the limited knowledge passed on this far!
And the disturbing thought that the club, which should know before anyone else what’s going on, is ‘apparently’ in need of someone to tell them what’s happening – simply refuses to go away.
It makes absolutely zero sense. But hey wearen’t supposed to ask such questions.
However, the latest vague musings go like this: “Sunday’s papers carried strong rumours of a move for Juventus’ highly-rated defender Angelo Ogbonna and I can reveal that he is a player that the Club greatly admires. However, my understanding is that any deal remains a distance off.”
“Another named raised today is that of Real Madrid full back Alvaro Arbeloa. The talk was that the Spain World Cup winner might be available on a free, but I believe that a new loan for Carl Jenkinson remains the number one target for the Hammers in this position.”
Err that’s bee regularly recorded by virtually everybody for days.
He/she adds: “My sources tell me that the Club hope to conclude another one or two signings within the next ten days, but with the start of the Barclays Premier League season six weeks away they will wait until they land the right targets.”
“That is unlikely to include Charlie Austin, as Queens Park Rangers’ valuation of the player remains too high.”
“There have also been rumours about that Stewart Downing could leave for one of the three clubs in the north east. While I believe that it is true there has been interest in the Hammers’ England winger, the Club’s attitude is that he is not for sale.”
Thanks Insider, ClaretandHugh confirmed that one several hours ago. Indeed we reckon Insider must be a regular reader of these pages.
And you can now go to bed.
Can’t see how the signing of Jenkinson removes the need for another quality full back, or a versatile defensive player who could fit in anywhere across the back.
It is now, the position where we have least depth?
Interesting titbit. I have been watching a fair amount of the women’s W.C. And I was surprised to see that the long ball plays a significant part in most teams tactics and successfully too, although none of them matched England. If our team could have been as successful, we’d have all been cheering Sam instead of jeering him.
I calculated that 60/70% of their long balls found their marker and made England a constant threat
I admit to a real dislike of ITK,not a stupid one like this on the site which is a gimmick but others you find round about.Most,not all,are just egotistical,attention seeking bullsh*tters who feed fans nothing more than news already out in the open or messagss so cryptic they are meaningless & cover most of the players in the world.Kings of smokes & mirrors & an utter joke.Just an opinion of mine though i may add.Im sure some enjoy their gossip they bring.
I hope that’s not a veiled rant about the prophet Brad Spoonie,that sort of talk leads to all sorts of bother lol
I have no idea what these posts on the WHUFC website are supposed to be/do. They add nothing to the news about transfers and pretend to be unofficial on an official website.
I’ve given up paying attention to them.
So should you, Sean.
Every site, this one included, covers every story as though its an exclusive then its readers whoop with strange joy when one of the stories actually becomes truth. No-one really is ‘in the know’.
Cant remember the last time i whooped with strange joy.Probably my wedding night 16yrs ago,lol
Ah but did she? 🙂
According to my pack of Tarot cards we will be definitely signing signing 2 more payers! MAYBE.. or maybe definitely anyway one of those.. FUXX it ill deal gthem again..LOL
Lol,i would rather believe some tarot cards than the sh*t ITKs spew from their mouths or fingers.Absolute load of garbage.
Couldn’t agree more with the Zzzz I was wondering exactly the same, figured it was probably a way for DS to deal with the BS either that or one of his sons mates to share some reflected fame for 15 seconds…
Could be DS dealing with the BS left over from BFS ahead of the OS to excite US lol
Lol,that peace pipe is working Quick 😉
Ahahah… Rads???? Lool
Yes Quick,is me.I have become a calmed balanced man.I exude only kindness towards the lonely weary traveller who may stop here to comment.No more Rabid Rads,lol 😉
Oh no not Quick,Matte.Maybe you are Quick being Matte or Matte being Quick.Might have to ask your figa about that though 😀
Hahaha whoa man this is getting heavy lol
I expect Mystic Bradley knows who you all are.Nothing gets past him! 😉
Haha he is the all seeing ITK he sees the internet and papers and passes it off as inside knowledge lol
