    In a message to my dad. Message read
    “I’ve made a few enquiries this morning. No striker incoming - they’re not looking for one I’m told”

    Surely Simon Pride and nNick Barnes would have spoken about this before the show aired? either could have confirmed or denied the comments that were made last night.

    Sounds to me like Simon Pryde was going off internet rumour only without validating it, and that upon looking to validate it they've realised its bollocks.

    Perhaps Simon needs to only report news and not what some ITK is telling him from now on.

    No that was a reporter (Mike McGrath).

    No reference to new contract though - just him saying Neil wants to stay.

    Both Jack Clarke and Jobe benefited from verbal agreements in recent seasons. It definitely depends on the morals of the club who you agree them with imo:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    thing is,

    no one fully knows who the club is after

    they are keeping targets incredibly closed to the chest.

    I can see 2 cbs, DM, possibly a keeper (if moore or pattos goes to have cover- and possibly a striker,

    who knows

    It's all becoming a bit hysterical now imo.

    And incoming players are being 'announced' a dozen times when we all know they've already signed.

    Can't wait for Saturday, someone might actually mention the match <laugh>

    Absolutely. But when a BBC journalist says the club are in talks to sign a mystery striker, its understandable for people to get excited. We shouldn't have to interrogate to find out his source was an internet ITK (if that was the case)

    Fair enough but can McGrath be trusted, in fact can anything the media say about our club be taken as gospel...I'm in the wait and see brigade, all this speculation is a bit smoke and mirrors.

    exactly

    and as a journalist, you would make sure the source wasnt on the sauce and its was more a source type source, not a sauce type source

    Not only can we not know for sure if he's right, but we also can't be sure what the motives are. Is it because Neil is about to sign his contract? Or is it Dan Neil's camp pressuring us into offering more money, by implying he'll leave for free otherwise next summer?

    All that really matters right now is him signing his contract or not.
