TBF My mate who told me wouldnt have had a clue who the bloke was as he's not that into his football and it wasn't someone who is really known publicly (i.e Rubens or Andy Howe) If he was going to make it up i'd hope he'd put some more effort in rather than repeating what has essentially been the party line anyway - Isaks going nowhere and we're trying to sign a striker (whos probably 7th choice on our list)

Appreciate this sounds like the most typical ITK bollocks ever - but just passing it on (literally no incentive to make this up, not trying to get twitter followers like the usual clowns...) Very good mate of mine is a taxi driver picked up someone at director level from the club a few days ago and was trying to see if he could get anything out of him. He was adamant we'd have a striker signed by the end of the window, though didn't give any names or indication who other than 'he was unsure if the fans would be happy with him'. (This was a few days ago, so may have been JSL?) He also said Isak would be here at the end of the window and would play again. This was on Sunday though - so may have completely went out of the window with bids being rejected and further meetings with Isak since then, but just chucking it in here with the rest of the nonsense!

In. Robin Van Perchie.
