But you still need to post about how hard done by you are on a daily basis despite having said on many occasions that you won't comment any further.

Classic actions of an attention seeker

Perfect illustration of what I posted.
Confirmation of my sentiments is very welcoming.
I rest my case.

Until tomorrow when no doubt you will be seeking yet more attention

My personal opinion? They are not ITK...certainly not as much as they think they may be. The reason for that is because I’ve never seen a story leaked on this site before I’ve read it on News Now. I think that’s damning.

Do I think they should stop? Not really. The site needs to remain a shared experience and members will use it in different ways.

If Willo would be open to some advice because his posts are not always claiming to be ITK...if he swapped “I’ve been told” for “apparently” then I’d like to think he’d get less detractors.

With the greatest of respect I post "I have been told/informed" etc etc because this is precisely what happened.I certainly don't use such terminology to give the impression I have been informed by someone at the club.Goodness grief, I am attracting bile for posting the actualite.

Anyhow this is all a distraction from the subject matter, I have nothing more to add, else if I do I will be accused of trying to place myself on some pedestal or in the spotlight and this thread will be seriously de-railed.

I am getting to the stage where I have had enough of this darned site.Sentiments mis-construed, outlandish accusations which bear no resemblance to reality.All exceedingly galling.

Just try not to rise to the bait Willo. Make it clear you're not ITK, THEN Just give your opinion

Young, Great stats and looks quality.

The only interest appears to be a return to Arsenal, which was eight months ago, when they thought they were losing Aubergine Boomberang.

Many thanks for post. Does look a really talented player. Apparently injured right now, but I don't think this should put us off unless it's really serious. Hi could be just what we need, very young but with great potential

As a veteran of 18 years on HOL, my advice is to not believe that anyone is, has or will be signing for Palace until you seen them in the shirt being interviewed by Chris Grierson.

If Dazza has inside info then you can choose to either believe it or discount it...in the big scheme of things it really doesn't matter.

I always read his posts with interest but with the above caveat !

I tend to agree, but there are many of here, that take everything posted as the truth.
The reality is only a small circle know our true targets, I guess Alexander, Freeman, Hodgson and Parish. There is little benefit in making our targets widely known, I expect they release misinformation to take attention away from them.
Its up to people what they post and others to decide if there is any truth. No real harm is done to anyone.

Can I just ask... Why does anyone care what anyone else posts? Whether it's "in the know" knowledge or just straight opinions. As long as it's not offensive, which usually it isn't, then why are people getting so heated over someone posting on a website?

If someone wants to believe they're "in the know", then so what? Doesn't affect anyone else's life really does it

I’m not ‘in the know’ although I did once have a conversation with Steve Parish at Liverpool station.
It went something like me saying sycophantly ‘You’re doing a great job Steve’ and him replying ‘Thanks.’
I’m fairly happy with what we’re trying to do this window and believe we’ll bring in another 2 or 3 players.
Gallagher, a wide player and perhaps another forward would be welcome additions.
However, I am concerned about the current spate of injuries and feel that we may not be able to field that strong a team in the early weeks of the season which may lead to some negative results.
Just hope if this happens that it doesn’t lead to a loss of confidence.

I mostly agree but the thing is that if someone claims to be ITK but is actually just spreading wishful rumours and gossip, it can give people false hope. And then when things don't materialise in the way that was described, people can get upset at the club and feel like they were entitled to something that was never actually realistically on the cards in the first place.

As one potential example of this, dazza just recently claimed that Batshuayi is still on the cards for us. From everything I've read from people who I trust much more than him and who have long track records to prove their knowledge of Palace transfer news, Batshuayi is not realistic for us at all due to the staggeringly large wages he demands. And since our Gallagher loan seems to be about 99% certain, loaning Batshuayi isn't an option (and with 1 year left on his contract it presumably wouldn't be a very appealing arrangement for Chelsea anyway). So to me, that seems like a false rumour. You or others can think there's no harm in that and it's all at worst just a bit of fun, but if the end of the window rolls around and people are furious at Parish for not signing Batshuayi like they expected him to, then I don't think that's very fair. For all we know, Parish and co have looked at the numbers and decided long ago that a player like Batshuayi isn't within the realm of possibility for us, yet the club's transfer dealings end up being compared to a bunch of lofty rumours that were never actually realistic at all.
