I don't object to his posting but I do object to him being allowed to post in the wrong forum as incoming transfer news should be posted in the Transfer Talk thread and not here.

If it continues I will start commenting on the latest Conservative Party mishaps here too as what's good for the goose etc

Clickbait diorrea

Fair enough but some would still want him to stop (their prerogative), whereas some, like me, who do not frequent social media, welcome his posts. Surely they are no worse than clickbait being posted? Which I also welcome as both sources should open up discussions rather than just criticise the poster

News articles open up discussions on the merit of the news and what our thoughts are on the content. Dazza posts don’t open up discussion at all. The site members are already decided one way or the other on whether he’s genuine or not. So I don’t believe it’s fair to say that we discuss both thing’s equally.

Some people saying they don’t use social media so they welcome the Dazza posts. The social media posts get shared on this site all the time. People share them, as social media posts. It’s really transparent. So you really don’t need an additional person using them as a means to look like they know more than they do.

In essence yes. There's also the self gratifying 'I told you so' that occasionally accompanies a rare acquisition from us.

Despite that, we are all more than capable of ignoring that we choose to. I see Dazza as a useful outlet for researching all that is available online where I either lack the ability or willingness to do so. I would encourage others to do the same.

Treating the posts as though they are genuine, ITK and indicative of that likely to happen will only rub salt in the wounds of what will never be a perfect transfer window and breed resentment. Equally, using them as a platform on which to either air your own frustrations with things or squabble with other users will only be to your own detriment if not also to other's. Somewhat similar to b!tching about which tab any given thread should be on IMHO.

I say all this with no assumption of virtue on my own behalf, only from personal experience of both 'squabbling' and 'b!tching' on this site. Neither of which has ever done me anything other than to ruminate on my embarrassment for a few days whilst hoping my blood pressure drops back down to normal levels. Best avoided if possible!
