Looks like Naylor just read this thread and knocked up an article. Old news. Poor, very poor.

What do you expect him to "report", just out of interest?

Something we don't know would be a start.

Not having a pop at Naylor, just disappointed it was a re-cap of yesterdays events and not 'the' big one we are all waiting for. Still, got to feel for the guy, there's no way he can match this thread!
I’m kinda 50/50 on this. On the one hand, it’d be great for us if he reported something we didn’t know. On the other, he does do precisely that on quite a few occasions, and he also has to cater for those folk who don’t read NSC.
6 minutes.
Eh ? Looks at the numbers.....there is no-one not reading NSC any more [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
That, sir, is an excellent point.

I don’t think so. I see it as confirmation from a reporter who is close to the club that we are on track to sign him. It’s very encouraging news.

The fee.... saying £20m is wide of the mark.
Not seen that on here and very interesting if true
So easy to have a pop at Naylor but really quite lazy to do

You clearly were:-
He is a reporter; his job is to report the news. If the Ali deal wasn't completely done and dusted at the time of going to press, how can he report otherwise?
I seem to remember he received dog's abuse a few years ago when the Argus carried a story of the imminent signing of someone (can't remember who), only for the deal to fall through at the last minute (possibly because of a failed medical).
There have been, and will be, plenty of valid reasons for criticizing Naylor, but this isn't one of them.
WELL DONE EVERYONE - what a fantastic thread. This must now eclipse Calleri and cement its Gold status.
As a nurse on shift yesterday I made sure all my patients were kept up to date, mainly so I had a reason to keep sneakily checking this thread... oops.
The reason I'm posting this? Just so I can say "I was there"!

Almost certainly Naylor will only release player signing info with the club’s approval, otherwise he risks being cut out of the loop by them. He has been pretty spot on with his “not going to happen” articles and tweets so this info has almost certainly been passed to him by the club. Why would he want to antagonise them by making any statements that might jeopardise a signing and pissing off the club he is paid to write about?
I have no problem with him and his coverage of the Albion.

More childish Naylor-bashing.
So what would you do - make up news? Should he not report anything that appears on NSC? It’s his job to report anything relevant, whatever the source. And, unlike NSC, he has a duty to check that what he reports is verified.
Bear in mind that there are many thousands of Albion supporters who don’t waste hours of their lives on NSC like you and I do.
