Clive Platt Mk II? Has looked unplayable at times and is a real handful. But incredibly slow, not the best goalscoring record, and very inconsistent. Aidys spoiled goods? I'd have thought we could do better than a forward from a team propping up the league, but then, maybe not..

He's been less prolific in L2 in the last 18 months than Cody McDonald has.

Didn't realise the US was an internet free zone.. that is where most transfer rumours come from these days.

For what it's worth I also think it's a bit of the old bs, but there's no need to put him down before he's named his source.

Can't imagine we'll be signing anyone on a permanent deal.

It's comments like this that makes me think this guy has seen Ade and Platt both play recently. I haven't put him down. I'm probing for sources.

He says "doing the rounds on the rumour mill"

from that I would guess it is just something maybe seen on twitter or other football rumour sites and doesn't suggest he has any real source.

Could be wrong however.

Hence why I asked how he would know. Not getting on his back more than I would anyone that starts muck spreading on here.

Cool have you got a linky dink to the rumour?

You might like to pop by the newbie area and introduce yourself?

Could have sworn this thread got locked

Edit: just seen the other post about locked posts etc (altho i do agree with La Lucha and the reason for closing this one if it was another 'rumour' off that BS site (opinion only) - no offense to usskyblue though)

Why are you calling people newbies? It is a forum, everybody is welcome to post. Can't blame the fella for not knowing what people like and don't like if he has just signed up

All city fans are welcome and the same, whether they have been here 10 years or 10 minutes!

Rant Over! :thinking about:

Definition:
Internet forum: rumour, gossip, bullshit, lies, make-belief, entertainment - any information from such a source should be treated with care, disdain and not taken seriously.

Lets be honest - BBC and CNN are full of bollox so a site like this should hardly be treated as gospel

Nobody is having a go mate it is just that 99% of rumours off there are bull, one further down the page says we are signing Keith Houchen and someone off here posted they had seen Santa Cruz outside Highfield road with Chris Coleman just to prove the point.

ha, it wasnt aimed at you. Just generally

Some peopple might sign up and not know what is cool and what isn't so jumping on them just scares them off and makes them feel silly

Ah, that's how they get you. Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. Indeed, they themselves say that surprise is their main weapon...
