    I'd say you have a decent bet there.

    Bologna have strung things out too long despite obviously wanting to do a deal.

    The player and his agent will be getting twitchy and putting pressure on the club ...

    ... in the meantime we can sit there grinning and 'pursuing other options.'

    I'll expect him to start against West Ham.

    Yeah, I shouldn't have said straightforward as it is getting so so good, but for now if you keep a keen eye the glitches are quite glaring. Fkn scary though

    I mean most football ones use very generic ball templates too and the ball always seems to travel the wrong way in it

    But I can guarantee some of my mates and family members would fall for it

    Also smug is commenting on people saying someone got sacked based on the leaked picture, which we know would be BS or they have the most efficient HR in the world

    Or even better, just take everything with a pinch of salt.

    We're supposed to be football supporters ...

    ... yet the internet has made everyone into accountants, football managers and experts of one kind or another.

    I made a casual remark recently that the club's finances are none of our business and some didn't appreciate that.

    It's actually true though, paying £30 for an afternoon's entertainment doesn't make us shareholders ...

    ... and we have absolutely no say in which players we sign.

    These forums are great as a bit of fun but that's about all they are imo.

    Someone said he'd been sacked and it was posted as news.

    Not everyone has the time or inclination to do research into the details ...

    ... it's just a chat forum where people browse while they're supposed to be working <laugh>

    okay so what’s the difference between Malaga posting about Xhaka as fact and this lad on Twitter posting about the other staff member as fact?

    take everything with a pinch of salt but you battered everyone for questioning Malaga

    Id like to hope everyone does on here, is a transfer rumor thread after all and not a transfer fact thread.

    I always assume whatever report I or anyone else posts would be met with some skepticism as is natural.

    You'll see two experts in AI come on the TV or radio explaining it all ...

    ... within 30 seconds they're arguing and disputing what the other person is claiming.

    I listened to BBC Radio Scotland at lunchtime and an expert was explain how Google is changing searches with AI ...

    ... he explained all about how to search for a zoo, with a car park and suitable for children.

    It sounded great but, at the end, said 'Bear in mind the zoo may have closed down two years ago' <laugh>

    Malaga is a real person who dozens on here know, have met and chats with people at games ...

    ... he's not an anonymous person who may be a Mag wum trying to stir up trouble.

    What you believe is up to you and what you post is your business ...

    ... if I choose to respond that's my business because, like you, I'm entitled to an opinion whether you like it or not.

    27 year old with a year on his deal. They’re lucky they’re getting the offer they got imo.

    They're bluffing imo and desperately hoping they get a better offer which I don't believe they will.

    I'd say the player has already started packing.

    Okay well I know the person who posted it on Twitter is massive Sunderland fan and not a mag wum

    however when people met Malagas post with skepticism you berated them.

    even though you’ve just said take everything with a pinch of salt. So which one is it? Are they allowed to question it or are you going to batter them for questioning it?
