Summer transfer thread

If he's there as backup to Patterson and can provide a bit of experience for the lad then I can see the sense in the deal

 

Ok, any credible journalist. If they do use these forums, they're not doing their jobs very well.

 

My mate just said we’re signing Cody Drameh from Leeds.

No idea where it’s come from like.

 

he's good on FM like

right back

 

Makes sense, we need a right back and he's been linked with a move.

 

Cardiff fans LOVE Drameh

 

When they're desperate for copy and they have no info from anywhere,they'll resort to anything,anywhere. It's the dna of the modern journalist in these days of media frenzy.....if they can't report the news,they'll create it.

 

I can see them picking up hints from places like this, I suppose, but I'd imagine that anyone with any sense would try and verify that information from more credible sources. Maybe I'm a bit idealistic about it though; in my line of work, if you can't demonstrate the provenance of your information, you're discredited.

 

I’d be a lot more confident having Mannone as back up to Patterson than Bass to be fair.

 

exactly same here

 

Many of them don't have a reliable verification source...they're flying by the seat of their pants most of the time,just trying to generate interest and views. It's about volume of views,and when it's found to be empty of any credible truth,they can disappear beneath the radar.
If the modern journalistic world ever had to demonstrate the provenance of their info....as you have to do....they'd be finished...and it would be a better place for it.
The wider public demand for instant info. has created a world where truth and honesty rarely feature.
It's all about numbers of hits.

 

Without doubt. We were desperate for another GK but I don’t get the Bass signing. Poor.

 

Yeah was very odd. Even Pompey's manager was talking about interest from L1 and L2 clubs then suddenly he ends up here. Genuinely think he's maybe just been signed for training sessions (like Heaton at Man Utd, or Carson at Man City)

 

I don’t mind the signing at all if we bring an experienced GK in and he’s 3rd choice but I wouldn’t have too much faith if he was our sub ‘keeper.

 

Not a fan of 09 then BRMC, hard to tell from your comments

 

I feel his pain.

 

Just watching SSN and there is a lot of business going on with PL clubs, maybe that will filter down later on tonight with a few more loans or their backup players becoming available.

 

Journalism, like this forum, is best viewed as an entertainment rather than an information service ...

... many of the stories are created by agents, clubs and managers.

TBF if a player is being chased by half a dozen clubs only one can come off, perhaps none.

 

3 females on the deadline show transfer talk???

 

Class player, i actually reccomended him to the club last season
