Well quite, which is why i would be taken aback if an earlier poster actually is accusing me of lying.
I think they were. To be fair, they don't know you, and a lot of people do post complete shit on here, so don't take it personally.

I'd invite anyone to trawl through my 6000+ posts to see if i'm prone to wildly speculating.
Oh Jesus, this is going to take a while. Best I make a pot of tea.

This Joe Cole snippet was told to me today and weighing up my trust in the person who told me, i felt it was worth passing on.
Let's hear more about the lady that told you. Like us, you're wondering if it's true or not. Is the lady a bit of a joker? Could she have been put up to this? Is she prone to exaggerate? Or are you completely confident that she's telling the truth, accurately, and the only question is whether Joe has fully made his mind up yet?

I'm a sensitive chap!

Trust me, you dont need to look!

Ok - whilst a pleasant person indeed, I wouldn't say a joker. Before today I didn't know she had links to WHU, and the person i was with at the time mentioned they had heard JC on TalkSport this morning. She piped up and said what I have posted.
I have no cause to doubt her story, and she didn't say if they were any riders (ie promotion, new manager etc). Time will tell, but i'll stand my the integrity of the story.

Since he first played. In his best role, that of playmaker, number ten, whatever you call it, he was on course to be England's Hagi. Then came the move to Chelsea, where Mourinho decided to play him out of position, wide on the left. Hey presto, he suddenly became the answer to England's left-side problem, but unfortunately he didn't have the pace to excel there. Ancelotti tried to bring him back into a central attacking role, but the Chelsea midfield logjam meant that he didn't get the run of games he needed. Some say his best season was on loan at Lille. Eden Hazard has raved about him. I agree he hasn't had the career he should have, but that doesn't mean he wasn't one of the best.

I'm glad we'd never have a manager to shove a talented playmaker on the wing. That could lead to people whinging about his tackling and his pace

Brighton - In your face
[MENTION=139]Jam The Man[/MENTION] you should know by now that everyone bar possibly Neecha and Bozza start at a 0% truth rating so if you really have something that you know is true you need a little more substance to it than 'my friend heard it from the horses mouth'.

That's more like it!

For the record, I think he's a bit of a window licker but should still do well at this level. I'd be worried about how much we'd actually see of him. I'm surprised QPR haven't been in for him due to Harry's love for him.

There is nothing in either of those releases that imply we are cutting costs. If Orland is on 20k and PIG is on 25k a week then we could possibly sign 4 decent players on 12k a week each, they would still be on a lot more than the Championship current average wage.

Nowhere near.. You seriously believe Orlandi is on 20k a week?

They played an interview on Talksport this morning. His words were along the lines of 'Finance is not important in relation to my next move' which is good news for us as someone can and will offer more I am sure.

sign. him. up.

It's rather magnificent to think that our super-creative midfield, with its faultless passing, wouldn't be improved by one of the best players of his generation in that position. What could Joe Cole's football brain possibly offer us or our young players?

Pretty sure Jan Molby could still do a job at £90k a week.....

If you're going to post inside info on here, toughen up.

Nice. I like the way it merged into the conversation. If she's a wind-up merchant, then take your hat off to her, she's good. Obviously through a glass of water over her blouse too.

LOL about toughening up! You should see the messages and abuse i've had about CKR for 9 years!

I'd best not do the water trick though!

No I don't, I doubt very much that he is on anything approaching that, but it fits in with the scaremongering of we are cutting costs so I thought I'd join in.

14,000-odd views in 5 and a half days suggests this signing would be very, very popular.
