Exactly, why people even remotely give him the time of day is beyond me. It was his monumental fail in the 2020 transfer window when saying our signings of Benrahma & Rhian Brewster were set to be announced, followed by the ‘Meet Our New Manager - Frank Lampard’ Thread that finally sealed it for me! Well in hindsight that one was a luck escape.

That’s a pretty long winded way of saying he made stuff up based on media stories, which is no assistance to anyone other than for those who feel the need to seek information before it is made official. It’s a perfect scenario for leg pullers. If it comes off you are a hero, if it doesn’t you just shrug your shoulders and say, I guess they couldn’t make it happen. It’s a win win for the poster, but anyone with a genuine respected source would have known nothing was likely to happen this window. For avoidance of doubt, I was not suggesting any such fabrication, I was merely offering the possibility that he was trying to be informative using information from media outlets.

Edited by Willo (03 Sep 2022 9.34am) Noted, but it would have been rather less disingenuous if he had said, “I read today”, or I saw in the…” , or even “my mate who makes the tea at the training ground spoke to the kit manager who’s sister is dating one of the players” you get my drift. You either have a source within the club or you do not. As he has already said he is not in the know, I fail to see the relevance of any of his posts other than as an agglomeration of media posts. If that is what he is doing then fine, but the tone of the posts gives the impression that the information is first hand and not from twitter or news now, which we can all read and make our minds up as to it’s voracity.

Regarding Dazza I believe he follows Carl on Twitter, who has over 14,000 followers, he posted this on August the 29th. For those who are wondering, we’d be willing to buy Gallagher, AWB & Sarr for the right price. Some ambition at our club.
