    Yeah, but it's a Rumours thread.

    The fella came up with some rumours. If some of them didn't come off for whatever reason, so what?
    That's the nature of a rumour.


    We can all just make rumours up Oggy. 

    I heard we are trying to resign Karlan Grant on loan as he’s out of favour at West Brom and they want to get a portion of his wages off the books but won’t let him go to a Championship club. Sunderland are interested but he favours coming back to London. 

    There we go. Done. A rumour. Complete bollocks with no substance behind it though and if I’m going to pass my time making stuff up on the internet I should expect to be called out on it when it doesn’t come true. Especially if I’m then going to fabricate being right about things I wasn’t even right about.

    This particular individual’s posts bear a lot of the hallmarks of previous posters who have eventually ended up banned from the site. I don’t think posters like this do anything to enrich the forum. Just my opinion. 
    This will be on Twitter by 8pm

    That's fair enough, Exiled. I get what you are saying.

    But it seems to me that there are many posters who read a rumour on here; and when it doesn't materialise into a signing within 24hrs or whatever, go ballistic attacking the poster/TS/the club in general/or whoever conveniently is at hand.

    A rumour is only a bit of gossip/chinese whispers/a bit of fun to pass the time while we wait for an actual signing.
    A rumour is not a fact, though. Facts, an actual completed signing, will have it's own thread.

    This is the rumours thread. That's all it is. I wish we could keep it as a bit of fun.

    Or ackworth???? Reporting it as fact
  • It would be fine if the instigator was a long term poster and didn't keep using the American spelling of common English words.

    Unless his contact lives in Colorado of course.

    To be fair, he did tell us that he was dyslexic and spelling was a big challenge. And so what if he's using a spellchecker, which no doubt defaults to American spelling?

    The so what bit, is getting 8 wrong and claiming you got 4/5 right?
    But fair enough.

    That's an unnecessary dig though, don't think the spelling needs to come into it, especially when they've stated they are dyslexic. 
  • Kirk played for Crewe yesterday and no mentions that he is on the move in their local press.

    Nothing on here matters Oggy. If we all only cared about things that matter football wouldn’t exist.

    Doubt it's close if he played yesterday although no player is too far away from a transfer. 

    I mean Tahith Chong joined Birmingham 9 days ago but still played and scored for Man Utd yesterday!
  • RedRobin said:
    This rumour about disillusionment in the club has come from a post on another forum, just made up bollocks because some supporters are upset we’ve not made 10 new signings and spent millions, so something must be up! 
    A number of the "newer" posters oh here mainly offering transfer rumours are likely also on another forum.
    You can surmise as such by their writing style.

    It would appear that it matters to some of us and not to others.
    Oggy, if you said you had heard we were trying to sign 3 named Plymouth & Exeter players, none happened and you explained why, most would be more than happy.
    Probably less happy if they all signed for rivals and a few weeks later you claimed 80% of your rumours were correct.
    Anyway, my apologies let's get back to the rumours that we don't have :-)

    Another ITK or just guess work...??
  • Oh are these the same upset staff who were unhappy about the supporter of the year aware, and the big story was about to come out?

    Absolutely spot on Five-a-bag 😉
  • I've heard that Karlan Grant might be coming back.

    Sorry guys my source has to remain secret for now but I have every reason to believe him 
    Offer on the table from Sunderland though, just got to hope he wants to return to London.
