Impeccable Source

[Acker79]

Some players just shouldn't be abbreviated. LB in footballing terms is 'left back'. If you can't be bothered to use the eight letters of his last name, just say 'Liam' instead. 'LB' is confusing.

Ummm, might I suggest that naming your various sources isn't a good idea? There's a decent chance that the individual(s) will have broken their employment contract &/or confidentiality agreement in telling you anything to do with transfers. If so, the club would almost have to investigate any employee named on here and, if necessary, take disciplinary action against them.

I guess TB, as 90%+ owner, would be exempt from this policy; though if he is one of the sources, may be somewhat more circumspect in his discussions with fans in the future if he realised that what he said in a private conversation was going to be sprayed across NSC.

Don't worry, my impeccable source is in no danger of any disciplinary proceedings

 

[Soulman]

Indeed - which is why on the LB rumours thread I said people could take or leave my information.

Iv'e already said 5M.

I guess that we're lucky then that LB doesn't play at LB, preferring instead to be a DM, though many on here would like to see him as an ACM. Personally, I don't see that, preferring RI as ACM and LB at DM.

But would Bloom let Barnes,walk for nothing next July ?

 

[Pavilionaire]

It's not over 'til the player throws his shirt into the crowd.

He can also sign him for nothing

 

[Munchkin]

All I'm going to say is expect at least 2 new additions in this window (both of them on a loan basis)

And also expect at least one of the current squad to sign a new and improved contract.

Reliable source, take it or leave it.

What age to players have to be for it to go to tribunal? Is Barnes too old?

Ok I'll take that, cheers!

 

[saafend_seagull]

I heard a while ago the minimum consideration for ulloa is about £10m.

 

[severnside gull]

LB (that's Lord Bracknell) may be able to confirm but from a friend down that way - chance that Barker might sign for Newport......hasnt broken into their first team in his loan spell but done enough to get a short term deal. Guessing we will cancel his contract/let him go on a free.

 

[Acker79]

So, we've got

Bridcutt going is a done deal.

The club are planning on not letting anyone go, and will only bring in conway

Two loans coming in and new deal for current player.


All from reliable sources.

 

[stss30]

May be a controversial opinion but I wouldn't mind seeing Bridcutt go if the money was reinvested in the squad. IMO he hasn't looked great under Oscar anyway although that could be due to him just returning from injury.

 

[Napper]

I cant see LB going to Sunderland at all. Why trade a potential promotion with a very likely relegation? If he goes anywhere it will be to a mid table.. likely to stay up team.

Horse manure

 

[dougdeep]

"dont want to" and "will not" are very differennt things in this context.

Exactly.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I think it's 24 and yes, he's 24 now.

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

I was hoping it was 26. Perhaps I should not be lazy and just google the answer

Edit: yes you appear to be right it's 24

That pretty much sums it up! I don't doubt any of the messengers, so to speak - they all probably have good reason to trust their own source. But in 9/10 cases their own source is guessing, outright lying, or just another messenger in a chain of Chinese whispers - on the rare occasions when someone tells me something they've heard, I tend to take it with a liberal pinch of salt. Its like the wages we pay - from "good sources" I've heard just about every figure between 6k and 28k quoted on NSC as being CMS's weekly wage. Nonsense.

Some are reliable sources and one is an impeccable source. Maybe we need to wait for Enrest's sauce before believing anything.
