Obviously yes Can people stop trying to be in the know on this one, it's obvious it's happening so let's wait for this afternoon. Not pretending to be itk, just reading Twitter.

jasonb Posted 14 July, 2015 Share Posted 14 July, 2015 Can people stop trying to be in the know on this one, it's obvious it's happening so let's wait for this afternoon. It does make me chuckle at these posters passing themselves off as having insider info... just admit its rumour you read somewhere. My brother is very well connected at the club and tells me NOTHING. Never has and never will. I don't bother asking. Not that he would be privy to anything regarding player recruitment but he would possibly hear things and could pass them on. He doesn't. Therefore, despite having family connection with the club I am very much not ITK. Having said all that.. I hope Clasie signs rapido in order for us to begin integrating him into the system and team. Man United seemed very concerned about getting their signings done before their trip so I would hope we would follow suit (negotiations permitting of course).
