With clubs running smaller squads and the general lack of money floating around, I imagine there will be a lot of cases where bids were turned down earlier in the window and then the selling club realises late in the day that's all they're going to get and they really need that money.

This & the fact that alot of out of contract players (Ogilvie, Sims etc) stop getting paid at the end of July, will get things moving.
Here is a rumor for you pick the bones out of this we have signed a striker believed to be Randall from Plymouth. Also we are close to a CB.Enjoy this one bully boys I may be old but I have respect and just for the record my name is not Colin I wish everybody on here enjoy the new season and continue to support our great club.
Is that Joel Randall, the winger from Exeter?
Or Adam Randell, the defensive midfielder from Plymouth who spent last season on loan at Torquay?
Or Jephcott the striker from Plymouth?

So do you mean Randall (who isn't a striker) from Exeter? Or Jephcott who is a striker from Plymouth?
Jephcott has been linked with a ton of teams, Stoke, Cardiff, Celtic, Middlesbrough, Birmingham so it's very unlikely he'd move to another league one club, and if he did then having just signed a new deal we'd be looking at a heavy transfer fee which i doubt we'd pay.

Ok I'll pick the bones out of it.
There's no such player as Randall, a striker from Plymouth.
So, whether you are young, old, black, white, male, female, or anywhere within or outside any of those spectrums, you're talking bollocks
I don’t think we’ve signed anyone that’s not been announced. Perhaps some are close early next week but I can’t see how a signed players name wouldn’t have leaked or for that matter why they wouldn’t be announced.
Pretty similar to what Adkins was saying about having some senior players in the First Team so the kids watch and learn how they train and prepare etc.
e.g. No better way to prove they cant go cutting corners if they want to develop was his words if I remember rightly
Exeter are sitting on cash already and as said above Keys is about to go to Sunderland (excellent business by Sunderland that) so they will be under no pressure to sell Randall.
That means they can ask a pretty decent price for a 20 year old, League 2 player and remember one of his key qualities is pace and he is just coming back from 2 hamstring injuries in quick succession.
Massive punt; can't see it happening and would not particularly want it to either.

I can see us spending some money on a couple of players when Thomas gets here, not itk just a hunch.
Big Thomas fan but in the most respectful way he is very 'look at me'/ a showman, taking his glasses off at the start of that interview, the song, all the signings standing with him last time round instead of Adkins. I have no issue with this btw just saying it how I see it.
That said I can already imagine him with a few ideas on how to unveil some exciting signings for us
People need to chill. It’s a rumours forum not a fact forum. Yes, there will be a mix of attention seekers posting rubbish and some will have some genuine rumours even if one or two facts are skewed. One thing’s for sure, it’s not going to change so I just treat it as a bit of fun until anything’s confirmed.
Rumours of signings that eventually happen are pretty rare these days. Clare only ‘broke’ a few hours before it happened. I’ve only ever had one ITK story in the whole of the time this site has been in existence and then I chose to keep it to myself to protect the integrity of my ‘informant’ - I would imagine a lot of Lifers do the same.

There are rumours & then there are posts that don't actually make sense. There is not a striker called Randall who plays for Plymouth. So either the name of the player is wrong or the name of the club is wrong. Might as well say that we are signing Joe Gomes, a defender from Everton.

Joe Gomes is like one of the names a football video game that isn't authorised to use the real player names, would use

For all that, Thomas allows his experienced professional staff run the show - they are the specialists and he knows that. That's why he appointed them; they know the game inside out.
You can see that he likes to be involved in the process though.

e.g. No better way to prove they cant go cutting corners if they want to develop was his words if I remember rightly
The Bayern Munich example that Brighton's have copied is having an experience player doing his coaching badges playing in the U23/21 and not shouting from the dug out. Good idea to play one of them in the U23 to utilize their experience.
We have reached the stage where we have Watson, Gunter and Pearce who because of injuries may have to play all together in the 1st team.
That is the opposite of the Brighton and Bayern Munich model.

The bad news is Plymouth didn't/don't have a striker called Randall.
Please make it stop.

The next two weeks will be crucial.

Edit
Blackpool beat me to it, as I was watching the Olympics and forgot to send 24 hours ago
Joe Gomes, Barry Kane, Gordon Henderson...
