    Just to add to this - Seemens explicitly called out Alex Crook and said he has no inside information and knows nothing about Ings contract - he just happens to live locally.

    He went on to say that most of what he says is inspired by Crook's opinion, not fact - he used the fact Crook always links Ralph to Manu as an example. This is purely because he is a Manu fan and would like Ralph at his club.

    Pretty much confirmed what we all thought then <laugh>

    Yeah, we really shouldn't take Alex Crook seriously.

    I'll always remember him for the denial of us signing Charlie Austin, only for him to sign an hour or so later.

    When it comes to having inside information, Alex Crook is Not The Messiah. I'll leave others to fill in the rest :)

    Absolutely. He's replaced Alan Nixon in that regard.

    Unfortunately, not enough people have yet cottoned on, and as such Crook often gets mentioned on here.

    Wonder if Semmens has a discreet Twitter account to know what Crook’s all about? Presumably the club will keep an eye on what the journalists who cover us are saying online.

    I’ve said this on here before but I did some work experience for Crook’s news agency a few years ago. I basically spent two weeks creating transfer rumours which he sold to tabloids.

    Tenuous link to the thread there St. Bad. I'm getting the impression you don't have much love for spaffer Johnson and his inept bunch of sycophantic cronies.

    I can't see why Danny wouldn't want to sign on... We are playing fantastic, look decent all over th3 pitch! When was tr last time we were comprehensively beaten.... Can't remember?.. No me either. Come on Danny.

    I hope we can get him to sign because you can see the difference he brings to the team, when he is on the pitch.
