You just have to laugh at transfer rumors. A 5 minute look at Newsnow offers several stupid examples of made up rubbish that defies explination, yet we take them a legitimate pursuits. "Liverpool Renew Interest In Dutch Striker" How do we do that then? Had we gotten board and forgot about him? Put his picture on a notice board? Fax the club and say "we're still interested"??? "Liverpool rekindle interest in Inter Milan starlet" Same again! We seem very forgetful about these players we want to buy, or we flit about, not being able to make our mind up.... "Ajax ace puts Chelsea and Liverpool on alert" I can imagine one of those flashy police lights by the door of the boot room, claxons wailing, and people running about the place grasping hands full of paper... "Liverpool, Man Utd and Everton sniffing round £10 Million rated midfielder" What? Like a dog with it's nose up another dog's arse? "Liverpool Look to Barcelona Midfielder After yet Another League Loss" Is this rueful looking, with a little sigh? My favourite ones are the ones were we intend to "fight" another club for a signing. Cage fight, 2 falls and a submission?
this is what i think of when i hear a player has put us on alert.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUxR965b4LU
