Read his latest response to Phil Barber nd you will see that he is up to his usual trick of spouting rubbish but not actually answering the question. Willo, Were you actually in the know? Just a one word answer please, Yes or No

Just a one word answer please, Yes or No With the greatest of respect, Jeremy Paxman v Michael Howard is a distraction and I would suggest is becoming rather irksome to many on HOL. All I would assert is that if I answer that I am 'ITK' it would be met with scepticism and probably a hail of bullets veering the debate off-course. If I answer I am not in receipt of such information, I would be pilloried for making a categoric statement based on no foundation whatsoever and further vitriol would follow.Once again the discussion would gallivant 'Off-piste'. I smell the whiff of brimstone in both scenarios. I have no more to add and I really do think that in the interests of HOL the debate should not be de-railed by such exchanges.I shall play my part by ignoring any further barbs and grenades tossed in my direction.

Yet more Willowaffle that doesn't answer the question. May I respectfully suggest that if you are unwilling to justify bald claims that you make that you just stop making them. May I also respectfully suggest that if you are so keen to only discuss the subject to hand that you stop posting your thanks to your fan club as that is equally diverting

The regime on this board do not allow the interrogation of unsubstantiated, unqualified, rumours, made up by looking on social media and passing off as their own on ITK info. You can say what what you want, create a legion of fanboy/girl dribblers but if you question said ‘information’ when it’s clearly inaccurate and the information supplied is clearly exposed as nonsense, in some cases by our chairman himself you are told to stop commenting at even the thread is locked, which is laughable. If you put your head above the parapet claiming you have info, whether you class yourself as ITK or not then expect to be questioned where your source comes from. Nobody expects specific names, but if you claim to have information close to the club that any normal fan doesn’t be brave and say it. That’s my view anyway.

Are we trying to do any further to do any further transfer business in this window? (Answer - who knows certainly not me!) As to whether we are interested in Sarr or actively trying to sign Sarr? (Answer, as above, who knows! ) So far as Willo is concerned, I think he has a right to post what he wants to, as long as he is not abusive to others, which he does not seem to be. As to whether Willo is or is not, ITK, it's all opinions anyway. The only people who know for sure what's going on are Freedman and Parish, and for obvious reasons they are not going to come on the Holmesdale and say, guess what we tried for yesterday!

It's noticeable that all of the ITKs on here, the BBS and Twitter have all gone quiet as their fingers have been badly burned so far

Of course those who place their head above the parapet can get their fingers burnt due to the fact that, just like house buying, deals can fall-through and clubs don't get their targets 'Over the line'. Certain kind souls who have posted in good faith in order to be informative have been pilloried hence I can understand a reluctance to partake in certain discussions.

Come on now Willo...you’re not even close to being ITK so I don’t know why you don’t excuse yourself from the never ending debate. As for the other one on here, their bold predictions have fallen way short and for once I genuinely feel there is a growing consensus on here that no one is ITK and that posters passing on the BS they have been fed have been naive and the posters believing them are equally guilty of being somewhat naive.

With the utmost respect, I have never categorically asserted on HOL that I am in a privileged position, fully 'Au Fait' with all the minutiae of our proposed transfer activity. In actual fact I do believe that I have articulated that I am not in receipt of any running commentary about latest developments. I re-iterate yet again, for the umpteenth time,that being ITK does NOT place one on any pedestal on HOL and I am certainly NOT some blowhard who seeks to place myself on the pantheon of greats.I am no vainglorious chappie. Finally, I don't intend to keep defending myself from such 'Charges' as they deflect the debate away from the subject matter and I would suggest this is not in the interest of HOL.

Edited by Willo (13 Oct 2020 1.17pm) Well done Willo and thank you. Let’s hope we can now all move the debate on as Willo suggests and let’s get back to talking about all the players we probably won’t ever sign lol

It's good for them personally to know what their sources tell them, but to post on either of the Palace fan sites gets us all overexcited, and exposes them to the frustrations of fans who are desperate for signings, and understandably disappointed if it doesn't happen?
