Red Rocket 244 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I said it was clearly bad and fake haha I just wondered why people think its a good idea to post crap like that. Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,488 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I would be interested as to when the players are told of new signings. I would also imagine a player could get themselves in trouble for revealing a signing before it is official given how it could compromise a deal. Link to post Share on other sites
Jimmy 140 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I doubt players would get told of any incomings until confirmed.. They might hear bits and bobs, but why would the club keep them up to date with transfer gossip? Link to post Share on other sites
Lord_Moose 387 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 So people see a text from some random person who can't even spell a players name right and people believe it? Makes you wonder. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,297 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 So people see a text from some random person who can't even spell a players name right and people believe it? Makes you wonder. I doubt anyone actually believes it, but that shouldn't stop anyone discussion potential targets. Link to post Share on other sites

True, I always love seeing the wild and wonderful names we are linked with at times and admittedly I'm not much of a Twitter user so I don't know the reaction to this particular tweet, it's just crazy that there are people who might get sucked in by it.

MidleastBoro 30 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 People believe what they want to believe. If it's a positive tweet, like a new big name signing for us, people will want to think it's true. Conversely, if it was a tweet saying we were selling Ayala and Friend to Leeds for half a mill, people would be a lot quicker to doubt it, because they wouldn't want it to be true.

Uwe 3,545 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Just seen a tweet saying Hi MrStephen Gibbons . Herd we r selling gorge frend for £15million, done deal Regards Grant ledbutter Seems legit :s Link to post Share on other sites
Lee29 1 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 That could be legit, Leadbitter is a Mackem, it's hard to type when you've got 4 fingers on one hand and 7 on the other. Link to post Share on other sites
"KM" 1,656 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Middlesbrough are now into 5/4 from 5/1 to sign Blackburn striker Jordan Rhodes. HERE -> skybet.com/football/speci… Not that it means anything but the plot thickens, or it could all be a smokescreen for he who shall not be named ;) Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,297 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Us being comfortably sat at the top of the table will make bids on condition of promotion look far more appealing to other clubs. Blackburn were nearly tempted before so maybe if Lambert doesn't rate him then a deal could be tied up pretty quickly. I'd much rather have Bamford though. Carayol and Wildschut will raise far more money than was speculated earlier. Wildschut has proven that he is a very good player at League 1 level and many Championship clubs will think he can make the step up Just 18 months ago we thought he was good enough to succeed in the Championship. Yes he's technically poor but wingers with his pace and power are in very short supply so will have plenty of interest. A structured deal from Wigan with a promotion fee will be a decent sized deal. Competition from Championship clubs will only drive his price up. Carayol's lack of drive to track back is massively holding his career back. Getting the boot from Huddersfield could turn out to be a blessing in disguise for him as the dent to his pride might make him realise that he has to do the hard graft out of possession otherwise the manager will soon get rid of him. Another Championship club will snap him on up on loan. He's got promise but he needs to do the basics better if he's going to succeed in the Championship. I'm certain that these two players are not going to bring in more than 600k combined. We have no use for them and other clubs know that. Link to post Share on other sites

Tomorrow friend and Ayala will be even odds to join Leeds. Link to post Share on other sites
Red Rocket 244 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 You say that Borodane but then I remember we sold Bennett for like 4 mil and got Friend for 100k. We also got ridiculous sums of money for Emnes and Juke. :D Link to post Share on other sites
Lord_Moose 387 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I wonder what is the most unlikely but most believable transfer rumour out there? :D Link to post Share on other sites
