Gazza M oh yeah, he has been asking people for news for a while as well...

Are these ITK's able to monetise their internet fame? If not, why on earth would they bother doing this?

    TambourineMan The angry United fellow Goldbridge has seen cash in his accounts increase 3m pounds year on year. He makes money on youtube, endorsements etc.
    I was on the Arsenal Vision patreon looking at their data. I estimate they make around $50k a month from subs alone. Plus they do adverts and partnerships. They had 15,000 views simultaneously on the live post game show yesterday. Football is a money spinner.

      Claudius funny you mention them, I signed up to their Patreon last week. I think they're worth it. šŸ˜ƒ

      Have we signed anyone yet?

      Not going to check this page/twitter until 1927 (12 hours from now).

      Donā€™t let me down Arsenal!!!

      Claudius Some of these guys I have no problem with them making money, they put out good content. Itā€™s the fuckers like arsenal tv who get under my skin, they exist purely to wind us up and I think rival fans make their clips go viral laughing at us.

        JazzG there are now channels on YT that only do that. 15 minute after a game is done, they have compilations of "x team fan meltdown after result".

        I'm surprised City haven't bought a midfielder. They have no legs in midfield.

        I hope Marmoush, Khusanov and this guy turn out to be the start of the end of City's dominance. It's going to be incredibly hard to replace the De Bruyne, Silva, Bilva, Gundogan, Foden quintet they had.

          According to the Guardian live blog, Zinchenko's off to Spain, probably to Atleti. That'd be a good result.

          Suppose to be a very good player, clear a lot of the City players have passed their peak so a major rebuild underway.

          Before people freak out about that comment by Mattinson, he also went on to explain how Zubimendi is a much better fit for us since we already have Rice, who is a better version of Gonzalez. But for a lot of teams, Gonzalez fits the bill better since there simply are not a lot of players in the Rice profile out there and Iā€™d argue, none that do it as well as Declan when heā€™s fit as we saw yesterday.

          On a side note, I love Mattinsonā€™s content. I hope he moves over to Blue Sky soon. Heā€™s a Gooner but is really keyed into the international prospect market, especially in South America, and I love his eye for talent. His threads have helped me figure out a bunch of potential targets and directed me to watch some matches I otherwise would never have had interest in. Highly recommend Ben.

          There are a couple of rumors from a few ā€œITKā€™sā€ out there on Twitter that we are working quietly on a big deal (Ozil level) that we are hoping to get in. It seems like itā€™s not a target we have discussed before. One of these accounts has said heā€™ll reveal who it is if we donā€™t get it done so hopefully we will know for better or worse today.

          Anyone have any guesses? I feel like the obvious answer is Nico Williams but I wonder if we are trying to swing for the fences with Barcolaā€¦

            Yep just saw that after I posted. Heā€™s generally reliable at least in passing along what heā€™s heard from sources so Iā€™m sure we are trying for it. Would be quite the coup at this point even if Nico hasnā€™t had the season we hoped for up to this point. I still believe in his talent 100%. Get it done Mikel!

            With Williams the deal is straight forward in terms of dealing with the club, they want full release clause paid and probably will not allow any other structured payments. We can either cough up the cash or get a loan to cover that.

            The problem is the player, we won't bring him in on Ā£300k wages which is supposedly what he wants and he had his heart set on joining Barca. If these rumours are true then it is a no brainer, we will pay release clause so not like paying an extra premium and comes down to salary.

            Who is going to give him Ā£300k a week?! Certainly not Barca
