Interesting as some people on here seem to think TWTD is always gospel and no one else can ever be right! Let's see (this isn't me saying I know he's coming or anything, just to be clear - albeit it is me saying I know the club are very sneaky these days with how they treat the media) |  | |  |

"...sneaky these days with how they treat the media." I think that's harsh and not entirely correct. |  |

Agree that the club have got sneakier. I guess all Phil can do is report on what he's been told by his contacts - whether in the club or via agents/other clubs etc. |  |

"...sneaky these days with how they treat the media." Would mean something totally different to MA I guess Any leaks could jeopardise a potential signing or increase their market value |  |

When they said Delap wasn't happening but he was at Portman Road... harsh |  | |  |

as you're the "itk" person saying that szmodics would never play for ipswich again, i'd say twtd were far more accurate than you! |  |

Agree on that one - was told that the main rumour going round wasn't correct but that it wasn't far from the truth and that he was training alone. Still say he goes. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

you were willing to bet a load of money on him never playing for itfc again, what happened with that? have you learnt and are you weighing random rumours a bit more now? |  |

I think I just explained that above... I was wrong. But I don't doubt at all the underlying concept of unrest as a result of something SS did/has done. Turns out you should've taken the bet! |  | |  |

For all of this century and some of the last, TWTD has an excellent record of reporting things first, but also an excellent record of very seldom getting anything really wrong. The balance between trying to bring news to fans but also holding off until new is sufficiently certain is a really really hard one to pull off, and TWTD is about as close to getting it right all the time as it's possible to be, in my view. Phil would definitely never claim to be writing any gospels, but I'm very happy to blow his trumpet for him. |  | |  |
| Chelsea Youngsters on his way? on 12:37 - Jan 14 with 3730 views | PhilTWTD | Still being told nothing in it. That account doesn't look a hugely convincing source. |  | |  |

remember that next time you hear a nonsense rumour, weigh your sources and don't spread malicious gossip |  |

Conor Chaplin by bluesbrothers 1 Sep 2025 14:28Rumours building at the Pompey end. Had heard we had offered him out a bit over the summer. Absolutely bonkers if we do this - he's our best 10! New signing imminent?? by bluesbrothers 22 Aug 2025 9:07The trolls will be along soon to let us know we can't possibly know that and demand to see a text from Mark Aston to prove it... [boxer] Morsy by bluesbrothers 14 Jul 2025 22:37First said it on 24th June on the same thread I broke the O’Shea news. Knew it was likely, but nothing firm until today. I actually don’t know the details tho As for this one - as per the original post, I don't know whether there's anything in it at all. Seem to recall the Enciso stuff was broken by S.American accounts firs too |  | |  |
| Chelsea Youngsters on his way? on 12:41 - Jan 14 with 3617 views | Defender110 | Interesting Google translation of the second comment "EXCL🇪🇨; I've been informed that Kendry Páez will most likely go to the Championship, as Chelsea wants to monitor him closely. We've already said a lot about Páez's situation; his age is in his favor, the rest depends on him. In Europe, talent without brains is worthless." Wonder what the last statement means, has he been a naughty boy? |  | |  |
| Chelsea Youngsters on his way? on 12:41 - Jan 14 with 3610 views | Wright1 | Talent wise i'd be pretty excited by this and I think our forward line could use a sprinkle of magic and unpredictability. I am concerned that I have heard suggestions that one of the reasons for his recall is his attitude "wasn't to the level expected for Strasbourg" or words to similar effect. Have to trust that the club have done their due diligence. |  | |  |

That would definitely be a concern and I doubt we'd go there if that was the case. The only explanation for not recalling CC would be that we have someone else lined up, and I'd assume we'd want them in the door before that clause lapses. As it stands CC is still our second best 10. |  | |  |

even a stopped clock tells the right time twice a day. if you're willing to bet a lot of money on a nonsense malicious rumour, you need to take a good look at yourself! |  |

But you don't know it's that do you? Yes he's played, but you have no more of an idea whether the underlying issue around SS is true or not to what you're claiming I do. Anyway, I've also said the rumour you're referring to isn't entirely true and isn't as malicious as what has done the rounds. |  | |  |

| Chelsea Youngsters on his way? on 13:36 - Jan 14 with 2479 views | marky7itfc | Ipswich Town would be the club where Kendry Páez would continue his career this season. Reports from England indicate that Chelsea is already accelerating the paperwork to prematurely close the loan with Strasbourg and loan him to the Championship club with the aim of being able to follow the Ecuadorian more closely given his questionable lifestyle and mentality, and for him to rack up more minutes. Awaiting official confirmation |  |
