I read something yesterday that the news of him moving out of his house is not a new development. It was reported that it was a rental with a lease that ran until the end of July and he long ago agreed to not renew bolstering the idea that there were relatively long standing plans of leaving Newcastle this summer

That’s very convincing. I could never have made up a story with so much insider detail.

It feels like we’re in the territory of schoolyard gossip now:
‘Did you hear? Mr Jones gave Liam detention for blowing his nose on Tracy’s pencil case!’
‘Yuck! That’s disgusting!’
‘Yeah, and then he sent her a note saying he wanted to kiss her’
‘Mr Jones?’
‘Nah, Liam. Anyway, he’s got bad breath’
‘Who, Liam?’
‘Nah, Mr Jones’
etc etc

You’re taking the whole transfer business way too seriously. I find it very refreshing this year. Not every rumor has to be presented with serious facts. By the way, we had a lot of fun with Bayern space etc. I’m just going to assume that Indy’s account isn’t English.

I think this thread turned into comedy central the moment that @SBYM posted the shit and stick childhood memory.

For a long time Indy was a spoofer. Just a bit of fun.
Somewhere along the way the account started to come out with some solid rumors and info, along with the tittle-tattle of transfer window lightness and fun.
I think the lad who started it sold it, and now there is a proper journalist behind it who is giving some info, along with the accompanying fluff.
Could be miles off, but somewhere along the way Indy has got some things right, and is now also being cited by other proper journalists from time to time.

Yeah the prevailing rumor was that it was a lad who worked at KFC just spouting off shit. Gained a bit of infamy as a comedy figure during transfer windows, and because of the large following he was able to sell the account to a group of actual sports journos who use it to put out tentative rumors before they’re confirmed. If they come to pass, then he looks a genius, if not, it’s just part of the banter. Kind of genius when you think about it.

That wasnt a rumour. It was a group of 3 lads at least one of whom worked at KFC (according to him). He gave an interview on Anfield Index some years ago (5 or 6 i think, maybe longer) because he was a liverpool fan . His two mates were a utd fan and an arsenal fan. They had bought it from someone else, a sports bettor i think.

Is this where we find out Fabrizio Romano originally worked at Bella Italia and every time he started the dishwasher he would press the button and say ‘Here We Go!’

Remember that bloke who was just a sad man in his flat who had the journos baffled. I assume whoever runs Indykalia now knows other journos in fact it might be the Athletic team for all we know.

Is it wrong that I’ve gone from being tempted but unsure on Isak (price & injury record bs goals and goals) to kind of hoping this doesn’t happen because I’ve fallen in love with Ekitike and don’t quite see how they fit in tue side together?

Not wrong. I kind of think that in Ekitike we might have signed the Isak from 3 years ago. That would be perfect.
But if not Isak, we do still need one more for the forward line.

Hugo can comfortably operate on the left

He was incredibly good. But if he plays every week there will be a period where he struggles and unless we have options to give him a break not being able to take him out of the firing line can have a big impact at that age and experience. It doesn’t need 150m worth of talent to deal with that though…maybe just a fit Chiesa

not wrong at all
ideally we need a gun player who can work on the right and center or left, for obvious reasons
You guys are giving that twitter account way too much importance.
It’s a person or a group making up stories to attract views.
Nothing they’ve said is something which wasn’t regurgitated from other journalists.
This whole incident has painted NUFC’s board in a very poor light. Like what you said, those ambitious and talented young players would swerve NUFC in a big way if NUFC doesn’t agree to an official release clause in their contract.
Agents talk to other agents all the time and it is not surprising Isak’s reps has chatted to other agents as well. Given by how many public rejections NUFC has despite qualifying for UCL even for the older players , it seems the reputation of NUFC in the eyes of the players and their agents has massively plummeted to a new low.
What PIF has done to NUFC is probably as damaging or even more damaging than what Mike Ashley has done to the club.
I wouldn’t be surprised if NUFC do get Nicolas Jackson and/or Yoane Wissa, there is a good chance a realistic release clause will be inserted in.
