I don't really understand the original post.

If Hoffman's merely echoing stuff he's read that's one thing, but be it SISU or the anti-SISU, the last few weeks have taught us if nothing else that every word should be questioned.

He's saying that the Le Fondre bid involved no actual plan to sign the player, so insinuating it was a facade to placate the fans who want to see transfer action. He hasn't been on the board for a good few months so unless it was planned before then, I'd question how he'd be able to tell us...

He was on the board, but I doubt they'd have had long term intentions to low-ball Rotherham and create a facade of signing a League Two striker. That's the one that sticks out as odd to me.

How would he know the transfer goings-on when he's clearly persona non grata at the club?

What kind of businessmen get butthurt when their integrity is questioned? They're businessmen.

He was right, Man Utd won the league thanks largely to Cantona and Schmeichel. Logically, this means Eastwood and Murphy will be the catalysts for our promotion. Get down the bookies folks!

'Talent' is a bit too vague a term really. One player may be a better passer than another, one may be more intelligent positionally.

Never met any of them.

Garth Crooks is very knowledgable about football. he's been immersed within it pretty much his whole life. Nearly all pundits are employed to come out with inane jabber that actually betrays their knowledge, look at Alan Hansen now compared to how analytical he used to be when he started. TV on...

They're both pretty terrible media 'personalities', but let's not be people on the internet questioning what two experienced ex-footballers know about the game just because they're saying things we don't want to hear.

It's best we save Eastwood, bring him on late to add the final goal to our 4-1 win. I can see it being a bicycle kick.

That applies to any player signed to a long-term contract on nearly any team. Everyone knows that a contract no longer means 'this player will be here until XXXX', it's now more of an insurance policy against them leaving for free.

Yeah, the guy at Preston.

Is he the one who had his skull fractured by nice guy Chris Morgan, or am I thinking of someone else?

We need another forward (at least) and if there's one area we can sacrifice it's central defence. If it was Richard Wood rather than Ben Turner though I'd be welcoming it with open arms.

Not quite; he said it's his understanding, but he couldn't confirm it.

He plays for a club without a bean to its name who aren't really in a position to make big demands.

That's not a 'likely' team.

Yeah, they're itching to get relegated.
