Football rumours

[nwgull]

Although Burke may have signed him, Barber said at the Holbrook fans forum that he had a deal agreed for COG to recover the money we paid for him. Hughton vetoed this as he said he would get the best out of him. I think this was around the time he had a couple of decent games. Anyway, in summary, we paid over the odds for him, saw he was not up to it for half a season, did a deal to get our money back, and still kept him. To make matters worse, Hughton then decided later in the season that Best was an improvement. hence why this was the best paid team in Albion history.

The fact that Hughton has the final say on decisions like this is not a bad thing; in fact it's a very good thing.

This thread has gone on since early 2013.

Is there some way that threads can become 'Out Of Time' as obviously they become frustratingly boring when the subject matter subsequently relates to something completely different from that as referred to originally ?

This is fine. We don't want BG starting a new thread everytime he reads something on football forums.

I take your point !

This is fine. We don't want BG.

Harsh but fair

Reffering to my previous post, why not delete the thread at certain times of season or alternatively require that they specify eg 'Transfer Rumours May, June, July 201* , as would make it easier to follow.

The first 6 months of most threads could be deleted as now being irrelevant and then adjusted every 6 months there after.

 

[Whitechapel]

Yes, but in most threads you couldn't swap all the pages around and still have the thread make sense.

The cycling geeks thread has been going since 2012 most of the original posts are no longer applicable surely.

 

[severnside gull]

Here's a novel idea......... How about the mods keep changing the title of a thread to keep it "relevant"

Oh wait..............

The latest is Lee Tomlin to Bournemouth £3.5m and Joey Barton to Charlton.

Might put an Ulloa to Albion loan rumour on that site next week if I'm in the mood

 

[albionite]

Tell there isn't many rumours floating about Brighton. BG has resorted to posting rumours about other clubs

 

[BensGrandad]

Only about other Championship dealings which could affect us.

Good call, we need to keep tabs on the fake rumours regarding other Championship clubs.

 

[One Love]

The latest is Lee Tomlin to Bournemouth £3.5m and Joey Barton to Charlton.

WTF

 

[BensGrandad]

Todays rumours are saying that somebody who posted spoke to Lewis Dunks brother in law who said Fulham and Newcastle had bids accepted and he has chosen Fulham to be near family with his wife and new baby.

Also Bristol City having been turned down by Gayle are now targetting Matt Smith of Fulham and preparing to put in an £8m bid

 

[BensGrandad]

The latest entry says CH ix interested in Charles N Zogbia and Kieran Richardson as Sherwood has said they can leave Villa.

Do you reckon they have a computer to do all the random stuff or just a a couple of bags and pieces of paper they write the names on and over a coffee and a doughnut they pick names out
