Filip Kostic

Why does twitter have such credence on this site?

It doesn't.

Some of the people who tweet do: journalists, reputable people who have been shown to be right before (and not just because they repeated a rumour and then it turned out to be true). The same way that some people who have a good reputation on here are listened to when they pass on their info.

So when do we think Kostic will be confirmed (if at all)?

I think the only way this will happen is if the player specifically wants to play in England AND no Prem teams are interested.

From the little I've seen I'd say he looks prem quality and are wages not likely to be an issue here?
Sorry if that comes across a little negatively but someone is going to need to pinch me if we actually sign him.

I get that, but twitter accounts are as easy to open as close. Same as NSC yet for some reason on here we give them some kind of legitimacy.
I accept a history of accuracy is worth our attention but most are random posts from unknown authors.

For anyone else struggling with tweets:

Click on the time of the tweet to bring it up on it's own and copy the url, or if you're using the twitter app, the 'more' brings up the option of a link direct to tweet.

gives you twitter.com/GoogleFacts/status/495962070333292544

Delete it all except the number giving you

Use the tweet mark ups:

[tweet]495962070333292544[/tweet] (exactly like that, I've doctored it so it so it doesn't embed here, just to show you exactly what to do)

And you get

I very much agree. The Twitter pages come alive with claims from pages that have seemingly credible titles, but nothing else. One of them was rather upset with me when I pointed out the inaccuracies in their assertions.

I just wait for Sky Sports to confirm things, and our Bozza.

Virgil Van Dyk used to be at Groningen. We were linked - indeed it was suggested we'd bid - before nothing came of it and he went to Celtic. I wonder if it is the same agent

That twitter account also said that Hammers keeper was signing too .....

Why not Christina? #whyalwaysbritney

Because she's one of them

Look at her sporting that pirate look, showing solidarity for her sea-faring brethren. It's because of her Tom Hanks got kidnapped, really.

Nothing from Bozza

You sure?

I hate it when peoples expectations get sent to relatively dizzying heights, then nothing comes of it. This one is going to be one of those I feel. I'm excited but realistic too.

 

[Justice]

Imagine Kostic and Sariano in for Saturday sweet Jesus.

 

[Bladders]

Wow. If we sign this guy I'll buy a pint for the first 10 people that bounce this post, that's how happy I'll be

I'll take one of those pints.

Me too, please.

Nothing from Bozza

He sounds like a brand of superglue.

I love it when people get excited about a player who they had never heard of 7 days ago.

Makes me chuckle.

Agree .

Also the argus doesn't seem to deal with in truths although Saturdays headline about those 3 players seems strange

In fairness, there are thousands of players across Europe, how do you expect people to know anything about any of them, especially those players possibly available at our level?
