Look, there are people on here who spin bullshit or others who can't tell a genuine post from someone who has been told something most don't want to hear.
By definition, you can only be in the know if someone tells you who we are after. Someone saying I don't know anything when they should absolutely be in a position to know what is happening means what? You can speculate, the people in the club who do know keep it to a very small number of people who will not say, or all staff have been told not to say anything.
However, since the "kit man got sacked" (if that was for real), show me one instance, in more recent times, where information has been released regarding a pending transfer that came from our club. Think Tatsu was spotted at Ryton, the others were done deals.
For full disclosure, I have a relative who works at the club, who I have not seen until this Christmas for a very long time. I also know another relative who often dines with King.
What have I been told? Nil, Zilch, Nada.
Just thought I would share this with you to take a lot of these posts about players coming in with a bucket of salt. Just look at all the claims made in the Summer about who we were buying and what happened with Adi. Supreme bullshit.
I get it is fun to speculate but most links have a feel of Erik Von Daniken. Page 1, was God an alien, page 3, when the aliens landed. The rumours are taking on a life of their own.
Esse and Manneh had legs because they leaked from the selling or loaning club or agent. A lot of the others look less reputable, but they may happen.
