There are two issues Ferris. If he is getting info from within the club, he is in danger of damaging transfers. If he is posting on twitter in his real name and getting info from within the club, someone will work out where it comes from and stop it. I believe that this site is possibly one of the quickest conduits of transfer news going and that at times posts on here are used by HDM. Whilst news now is good for press releases, sometimes we get the story before the press, but not often enough to make a big deal of it. I just hope this Tully bloke doesn't cost anyone their job, if he really is in the know.
In another breaking news note, we've had an offer accepted for Michael Dawson and he's coming in for talks this week.
Read his timeline, he's just tweeting about players who we've been heavily linked with already. If we sign someone out the blue, like the two young lads yesterday, there's no mention of them. You hardly need to be ITK to proclaim we were/are looking at signing Livermore, Snodgrass, Ince or Dawson.
Can anyone remember the lad who posted on here that he had been given a lift by Ehab, who had told him we were signing a player and everyone slated him? Every transfer window that comes and goes, I wonder if he was telling the truth as we did (if I recall correctly sign the player).
Hardly ground breaking news about signing two young kids who will probably get released in a couple of years. And guess what burnsy has just informed us of club playing down the ince deal but the player in talks today, strange that could of sworn that's what he tweeted last night.
OIIII !!! noone was supposed to notice , i did type that msg on me phone in defense and auto correct did me . . . gotta say i prefer Ferris anyway - a good movie
He might be Ehab's best mate for all I know, I'm just saying that there's nothing out of the blue that's being tweeted, almost all the papers/news-sites ran the 'Ince in talks with Hull City' story this weekend. I could tweet 'Dawson to sign on Friday' and there's a reasonable chance I'd be right, though I know nothing other than what's in the papers. In fact, if he does sign on Friday, do I win a prize?
It was 'We are hull city", on 19/05/12. He's edited it so it's not there any more, but it lives on in people's subsequent quotes: "Was my school prom last night and my mate was taken by Ehab Allam in his Aston Martin cause they are family friends, he asked him a few questions and Ehab said that there will be no Dawson, Simpson, or Mclean next season, they say that they aren't going to let any of their best players go unless they get a ridiculous offer. Their shortlist is done they are interviewing this weekend, if Barmbys appeal is unsuccessful a new manager will be in by next weekend. He confirmed the Stewart bid from Leicester was 1.5 million, he said himself Stewart had a dip in form since the bid came in. They're going to be looking for 2 new strikers and 2 new keepers, he says Fryatt will be staying." Needless to say, Dawson, Simpson and McLean were all still there when the next season got going (Simpson played 47 times in 12-13). Thttp://www.not606.com/showthread.php/146324-Ehab-Allam
BRAZILIAN-born winger Alefe Santos has joined Derby County . The 19-year-old has signed a two-year deal with the option of a further year, after turning down the offer of a new contract with Bristol Rovers. Hull City had looked favourites to land the youngster and Celtic have also been linked with him. Rams head coach Steve McClaren said: "“He is a player with potential and has the determination to improve, so we are looking forward to working with him." http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/Der...Alefe-Santos/story-21311588-detail/story.html
A source who works within the club who never usually reveals targets, says we are looking at the possibility of Scott Sinclair on loan. Like i say never received any info before so can't be certain.
You forgot Boyd. I don't think we'd get both Sinclair and Ince, I would've thought the former is simply back up in case Ince changes his mind, as can happen with deals like this.
