He has dismissed an awful lot of information that has appeared in these other sources in this transfer window, as a quick glance at his Twitter account will indicate (I'd advise you avoid The Argus website, as that might take some time).
And at least one mod on here will be able to confirm that I can be, and have been, quite critical of Naylor.
Interesting one..........a few mentions on twitter from journos.

Our 27 man squad reduced to 25 with Ince going on loan.

Assume for U23's?
Ok fair enough, so he denies speculation from non-reliable sources yet the more reliable sources i.e. Sky, released the Akpom interest story and Naylor played it down by saying it was only interest. (That's how I read it, may be a misinterpretation)
Dismissing 99% of transfer rumours is easy. Anyone could do that as 99% are usually wrong or don't end up with us signing a player. It's 'insider info' on deals such as the Akpom one that Naylor does not have (until he has emailed Paul that is).
The evidence in Tomoris case being one FA cup appearance. You cant really base an opinion on that.
I see you've already been asked to list what he's got right (as in, transfer scoops, rather than nonsense denials). For mistakes, I'll start you off with his categorical denial of the Zamora deal, despite the fact that many people knew he wanted to join us.

Chuba Akpom confirmed as No 28 for #BHAFC. Chance to speak to him today. Possible news on Murray, Ince (Swindon) Towell & Gk as well.

Maybe, but I don't suppose Chelsea wanted to loan us Tomori just so that he could sit on the bench here. Johnny said Tomori was having a good game up until his mistake, which rocked his confidence. He might end up more of a backup than was planned.

Let's hope that's not a GK outbound.

Andy Naylor is no more itk than any other journalist. I imagine he emailed the club who gave him just enough info for a tweet but nothing more. Why would the club indicate any information that may effect their position of negotiation in a negative way.

Pleased with the business we have done so far, but it is incredible the amount of money the teams around us are prepared to pay for players in this window. Norwich, Villa, Derby, Wednesday, are all looking at big fees to get into the top 6. We just need to hold the nerve and keep winning.

The football internet would be quite empty during transfer windows if that really was the case.

From the feed I was watching, in the first part of the match he seemed really decent and a definite asset to the team. As you note, the OG did seem to upset him yet the whole team seemed out of sorts and not playing the sort of football we are used to. Hopefully Tomori will settle quickly once playing alongside our normal sort of first team...

Couple of posters on argus comments section (first Akpom article this morning) suggesting club may be in for Blackburn right back Ben Marshall? Of course coukd be BS, were we not in for him before?
A quick Google and Coyle/Blackburn saying it's best if he leaves this January window as refusing to sign new contract and current expires in summer, but only links him to Wolves who have made bids, saying Blackburn holding out for 2 mill and Wolves wont be held to ransom for a player they can get for free in summer.
No doubt genuine right back cover is a problem and Bruno's on the final straight of his illustrious career. More baseless speculation? Or maybe something in it? Would seem to make sense, but then again this one of Silly seasons and BS rumours biggest days!
Not true as per Mr 'I know everything as I'm in the know' Naylor

He was a right winger when we were last after him. Bet he is glad he stayed there now!
