No, it should have been 'no'. We were looking at Hitzelsperger very closely. I'm assuming that the signing of Crofts means that nothing will happen with Hitzelsperger now, but that's just my guess (again).

You don't, no.

Offence taken. As I said above, Naylor et al get told by the club so they can have their story ready to roll as soon as the official announcement is made. He rarely "finds this sort of thing out", he is simply "told". When it's a really big coup the club may not tell anyone for fear of a...

Alternatively, as an Albion fan who has a sniff of something positive happening, you want to let your fellow fans know that good news is en route. I know it's what I want to do - I assumed it was kind of natural for others to do likewise. Maybe it's best you don't open any threads that hint at...

If anyone cares, if we are signing anyone soon, I'd say it would be Crofts. That's a slightly educated guess, I don't actually know.

As a follow-up, I imagine it's not dissimilar to stuff the Argus and other news outlets get fed. They could leak it but they don't as they want to retain their position of trust. It allows them to have a story ready to go so as soon as the official announcement is made they can publish. If I...

You always come out with posts like this on this subject, and I'm afraid you're quite wrong. Some of the people who pass info to me do so in a "don't pass it on" kind of way. I could still pass it on, but I'm unlikely to be told again. At these times I might let a few clues out, maybe enough...

I'm not aware of any signings today - but that means nothing. I am firmly in "Olympics addict" mode and I'm not chasing any Albion info right now, so unless something falls into my lap, I'm unlikely to be first with anything.

Because if there are limited number of people who KNOW, then putting the name out may mean the source of the leak is traced. The source may then get in trouble or lose their job. You don't want that to happen to your source or they won't be a source any more. They also might not be able to pay...
