Exciting signing. Lots of potential and another who fits into the Brannagan, Dickie mould - potential to do well for the club and generate a large future re-sale.

It must be a lie, Tigers got no money.

We always seem to sign players who've been off this forum's radar. Not that it's difficult to do so! Looks an interesting acquisition, definitely in the mould of a young player who, if he does well, will earn us a decent transfer fee in future.

If playing well, we will lose him during international breaks.

His name is Gavin Whyte and he's f*****g dynamite.

Right, can all the itk bullshitters permanently sod off now? Of all the names tediously banded about for weeks he’s never been mentioned

 

[gingerox]

Odd thing is he had signed a new contract 3 days ago. RM by sounds of it, hopefully does well for us

On the contrary, OxBible broke it yesterday!

OxBible reported it yesterday

 

[werthersoriginal]

OK pardon me! But so many names have been mentioned previously

 

[Oufcad30]

Just hope we give him a chance!
Lets not jump on his back if he struggles

 

[captainox]

Fair play to Oxbible on this one. (well the person who gives them the info anyway)

Potentially a very exciting signing if he can settle and get used to the English game reasonably quickly.

Stuart Dallas made a similar move from Crusaders to English football a few years back, and according to a few Crusaders fans on twitter, Whyte is better at this stage than Dallas was! Buzzing with this, real statement

 

[Berliner]

Potential, potential, potential. Hope he lands right on his feet.
Knows where the goal is as well (though so too did Gary Twigg and the Hobanator, in fairness).
That's us set in midfield then, surely?

KR keeps saying he wants a defensive midfielder.

Someone's been at Wikipedia - "Whyte could have signed for league two side Swindon down, however he turned them down and was heard singing “7 in a row” as he drove down the A420."

Wouldn't say "fair play" to anything they post transfer rumour wise. If they have a genuine source then rumours like those can harm the club. I've witnessed it first hand before where a player was at OUFC about to sign and it was posted in similar fashion on social media, alerted another club who offered more money and off he went. Just enjoy being ITK without trying to attention seek online. I used to know about a lot of signings in advance but never posted them online. That one example being one of them... Posts on social media are easily shared and viewed extremely quickly.

Go on, spill..who was the player

Which player was that then? Assume it’s not a problem to name them given that they’re not at our club now and no problem with potentially disclosing the social media poster as they’ve seemingly harmed the club.

(Not doubting you by the way - just being nosy!)
