I will defend Dai here because in fairness to him he said Liverpool would come in for Joe weeks before any sign of that happened, Liverpool have indeed made an offer so its a bit unfair to say he gets everything wrong.
One thing is for sure, there is alot that changes from day to day in football and sometimes media tends to cloud the issue rather than clarify it. If we think about it,most sports stories RE transfers tend to be bollocks and they are supposed to carry more weight than internet rumours or word of mouth, there is a game of cat and mouse being played every transfer window, we have become part of that by following on twatter etc.
Alot of what Dai has said has been wide of the mark eventually,but it does not suprise me that there are times when his info has been correct. Things change from hour to hour in football, look at van der vaarts transfer last year, done and dusted in 4hrs and under, nobody had a clue and even harry was gobsmacked when levy phoned him and told him a rush deal could be done.
Andy cole to Man utd anyone ?? never in a million years said the geordies ! thats just the ones we know about, there are all the ones that dont go through at the last minute for whatever reason, change of heart,more money elsewhere etc etc.
We must remember that it is silly season and anything can happen in football, ive heard the rumours about Ash too, which dai mentioned weeks ago.
