I'm not sure where journalists get their information from. I appreciate it is all out of a hat, however you have on the BBC website, that we are not in for Lindelof, at least not this January.

Then in Portugal in the past 2-3 hours, it's all going off with we've signed Lindelof and we are on the verge of signing Nelson Semedo?
I understand click-bait online articles sell, however journalists need to sort themselves out - It just gets so ludicrous!
Lindelof and now Semedo?

I trust sports journalists as much as I would loan sharks or second hand car salesmen.
It's hilarious how people are burned over and over and over again by jumping on even the most ridiculous rumours.

I'm sure there was a transfer rumour started on ja606 a few years ago which made it into the national papers, or did I dream that?

No, this did genuinely happen because I remember us all laughing about it.
Weirdly, I can't remember who it was though - How frustrating!

Ah, well that's brilliant anyway
Also shows how full of sh*t the whole transfer gossip thing is, all about people trying to be/pretending to be "in the know" when half of them don't know a thing until someone else reports it.

Willian joining Spurs Bushmouse? Liverpool swapping Suarez for Benzema Bushmouse? United have zero interest in Mata Bushmouse? United have actually signed Dembele Bushmouse?
