Ajax player budget for next season? 500k per year. Expect more Ajax players in the Prem.Technicalky aware, developed, won't cost 35 mill...

That cant be true, cant it??

From a guy who was giving out transfer news in twitland - @FootballAgent49

Hey Guys,

I am writing to tell you that, no, I am not a 'Football Agent' or 'ITK.' I am infact an 18 year old and I have been fooling all of you gullible idiots with my fake stories for the past 2 months.

I started out when I was bored one evening and I never once thought that I could get 43k followers. I feel my twitter experience has been very successful with some of my 'Stories' even trending 5th in the world. I'm proud to say that I haven't had even one transfer scoop in my time yet people still say im more reliable than Sky Sports News and the BBC. Laughable.

Some of my personal highlights were the Kaka and Falcao stories which were completely made up. The Daily Mail even wrote an article based on my Kaka tweets and the 2 journalists who wrote it were following me. The Falcao story was possibly my favourite. Last night it was trending worldwide for over an hour and for over 3 hours in Spain and in the UK.

Another fascinating thing about my time on twitter was how some top respected journalists believed my rubbish and even used me as a news source.

Whilst I am here I can also point out there is no such thing as an ITK or Agent on twitter, anyone with an IQ in double figures would realise this. @Agent_NCP , @EPL_Source and @Agent_ITK are all just poor versions of myself who would be nothing without begging me for shoutouts. @Backpage is another clown who stole my fake stories everyday and passed them off as their own.

Im not sorry for wasting everybody's time, you should have realised I was a fake when I got all of my stories wrong and deleted countless tweets. I still cant believe that, I, personally have been trending in Manchester, Leeds, Ireland, Nigeria and South Africa. Perhaps I do feel a bit sorry for the guy who got 'Falcao 20' printed on his Chelsea top.

I have really enjoyed my time on twitter, especially winding up Everton and Tottenham fans on a daily basis. You idiots must have realised I was a fake when I linked your team with every player possible in the hope that one move would happen.

My time has now come to and end and I hope to enjoy the last few days of the transfer window without making up rumours myself. Thank you to whoever followed me and retweeted my garbage, it was really appreciated.

Goodbye Everyone

Regards, @FootballAgent49 (The Boss)

Who'll own up to following?

29-08-2012 02:33PM

Anyone with any sense knows its going to be BS when the guy has 'agent' or 'ITK' in his twitter name.

Hopefully the clowns who believe everything they read on Twitter from these ''agents'' will stop citing them as sources now. Fourth Official is another one, the biggest joke on Twitter yet has 63,000 + followers.

Ajax are in dire financial straits because they have to spend more and more money on wages to try and compete in the Champions League while revenue is basically static. Why is revenue static? It all comes down to TV money. To put it in perspective, Sky have just signed a deal paying £1 billion a year for the rights to the Premier League. To put that in perspective, the Eredivisie just announced announced that Murdoch is paying £70 million a year for the Dutch TV rights.

The SPL gets £13m per year and Celtic can spend more on players despite having no UCL ball for 4 years. Thats incredible financial mismanagement if true

Anyone want to set up a twitter on behalf of Boards soccer forum and we will see how much speel with can get out between now and the end of the transfer window?!:pac:

This sounds like a good idea. When Agent_BSF reaches 15,000 followers, we restart the Jong Il-Gwan rumour :cool:.

We WILL get this man a move to Europe. What a player.

We'd need everyone who posts on the soccer forum who also has a twitter account to follow it.
We would also need some who don't have accounts to sign up.
Plenty of retweets needed too from everyone to get the ball rolling.

Only fear is it's the last couple of days of the window.

Get it started I say!

Roger Sterling · 29-08-2012 04:11PM

Planning the whole thing on a publically viewable forum mightn't be the smartest lads. Start one of those private user group thingies.

GavRedKing · 29-08-2012 04:14PM

Since its Panthro's idea I say he should start it.

Playboy · 29-08-2012 04:22PM

Dembele to Spurs done - official!

Marty McFly · 29-08-2012 04:24PM

In fairness if they're stupif enough to believe the rumours they're hardly gonna search, some of them really are that stupid.

Someone will though, no point in taking silly risks if you're going to go to all that trouble in the first place.

That North Korean player prank was done perfectly and nobody was ever the wiser.

I didn't think that idea would get much of an uptake to be honest, but I do appreciate the backing gents!
Sadly, I'm not a regular Twitter person, so the floor's open to anyone who wants to play "ITK" guy for Boards for the next few days!

(I hear Asamoah Gyan "dreams" of a return to the Premier League, QPR are on red alert...wink wink;):pac:)

Good buy in each case.

Spurs have gotten themselves a cracking player methinks.

kryogen · 29-08-2012 04:49PM

Dembele to Spurs has ruined my day tbh, fantastic signing for them

Leiva · 29-08-2012 04:53PM

Ouch for a few clubs.

Del Piero possibly about to join Sion. Not where I would have expected him to end up to be honest. Gattusso is there now as well. Do they have lots of money or something?

It is mad money alright but how many transfer these days are for mad money.

I created a new thread in the social group that we had for the North Korean lad but it got no responses so I presumed no one was bothered :pac: It's still there if anyone wants a look.
