Nor anybody else really. All just Twitter rumors.

We've heard enough from the Twitter journalists who actually know stuff to assume we've at least made a bid for him.

No point replying to some posters, they aren't interested in reason.
Yes, Plettenberg (Sky Germany) had been spot on with everything so far this window, and his latest update three days ago was that negotiations were advanced.

Wow.
Naylor is a journalist so can only deal in fact. All he can really confirm is that hoards of Twitter accounts are mentioning our interest but that is complete and utter hearsay (reliable source or not) until the club make any public confirmation or advise Naylor directly.

The transfer stories are all broken by David Ornstein. Hence why Naylor never reports on speculation anymore, he passes his sources onto Ornstein.

Just a quiet guy.
Was that Gruda though?
Romano, Plettenburg, Ornstein etc. are also journalists.
The view of the Naylor gang is that journalism is a concept where you sit and wait for official news and then write "these are the official news".
In reality, there's all kinds of journalists. The three above are in the "investigative" category - they break news before others do. Others, like Naylor, are in the "telling everyone what they already know" category - they break news after you've already heard them.
While I understand some people are only interested in the latter category, its silly to assume that investigative journalists don't know anything.

The club is not the only source of fact.
If Naylor has any sources outside the club, he either doesn't trust them, or is frightened of upsetting his club sources by making stuff public that the club wants kept quiet.
If the club wants stuff kept quiet till its done, then I am glad he isn't telling it, but it also makes him largely irrelevant as a source of new information.

We are expecting Rutter to sign when they can find a sodding pen...does that count? Hopefully it will be a double singing announcement, with a fatboy remix. Only problem is media guys at club maynot be able to deliver at such short notice

The article was just about attacking midfield options anyway.

I find the monthly how-useful-is-Naylor conversation as tedious as other people find fish puns. Is there anyone out there that enjoys both? Just wondering if there is any overlap.

Andy Naylor...journalist...true.
Do all journalist deal in Fact....err NO.
The likes of Fab, Ornstein and Pletenburg are fed, from agents, clubs, players etc to suit there own narratives which in turn suits themselves. We have individuals that support Brighton who int turn then feed us twitter posts here on NSC and some choose to believe as fact. It's okay to have an opinion but bottom line is, Until the player is photographed holding the scarf or shirt at Amex or Lancing take everything with a pinch of salt.

He doesn’t do himself many favours when this is the calibre of his tweets
Well, for me, Naylor writes a load of old pollocks.

Naylor and Owen are working with their hands tied, one wrong move and the info dries up. The others don’t have direct contact with the Albion I imagine except maybe Ormstein so can reveal rumours heard with no fear of pissing of the Albion hierarchy. Just imoRomano, Plettenburg, Ornstein etc. are also journalists.
