    I thought one single thread to deal with the inevitable long list of bollix rumours bound to appear on footie-rumours over the summer.

    I found this today which made me laugh.

    So 1m for Ellington and a bid for MacAnuff. Why pay for Ellington though? They can have him FOC or for a nominal fee. Anyways, there you have it.

    At the end of the window it will be amusing to see what percentage of transfers actually became reality.

    Genuine question, why do you visit that site ? It's utter shyte.

    Utter Shyte indeed, but yes - I do read it. Simply for the comedic value really.

    I would actually like to make a list of players linked with us over the silly season just to see what happens. The media coverage of potential tranfers is mad these days but most fans are suckers for a good rumour (I know I am). I would guess that about 75-80% of all rumours have no source and are just made up out of thin air. Of the remainining 20-255 probably 2-5% actually comes to fruition. So 95% of every rumour will never happen.

    O'Toole to Sheffield United for 700k.

    Sheff mate doesn't think thats happening.

    Sheff fans can clearly see he is complete sh!t.

    Guess what he does? He runs about next to their other CM, just like he did with us. ****.

    If they wanted O'Toole, they surely would of signed him at the same time as they signed Bromby.

    Next bits of gossip from F-R.

    PNE will make Willo move and we'll get Neil Mellor.

    From Liverpool PAUL ANDERSON will join Watford as Liverpool no longer want him and will join for £500k.

    Finally some Saints joker thinks Rasiak will go to Owls, Burnley or us for 1 mio. Christ what a moron.

    Also expect king kev (Sheffield United) to enquire about Kevin Kyle, Anthony Gardner and John Eustace. However these approaches are likely to be resisted by their respective clubs.
     
  17. His Royal Hornet

    His Royal Hornet Top Quality Banter

    I am sure that BR would let clubs talk to John Eustace, he hasn't featured in any of his teams, and got sent out on loan, so that is a load of *******s.

    Got some more carp:

    He was linked with them before, so

    Found some more as well:

    Another one:

    That's all for today, ;)

    His Royal Hornet Top Quality Banter

    That actually makes me laugh, considering:

    1 - Derby don't own Ellington
    2 - Why the fook would a Premier League club want him

    This must be the most rediculous rumour yet.

    Here's some more:

    Like we have £1.2 million to spend on him, I thought the agreed fee was 750k

    From footie-rumours today...

    The club have agreed to sell the players on higher wages, with the exception of Jobi McAnuff, as the club havent received any offers whatsoever for him. Apparently, 'McEnough' has refused a revised contract & looks likely to run down the last 11 months of his existing contract. Hopefully, he will resume the form he found under Brendan Rodgers, rather the woeful efforts under Boothroyd.

    Sounds about right.

    McAnuff and Ellington are two players I can see in the starting line-up on the first day of the season.

    Jason Demetriou (sp?) linked on their today from Leyton Orient. Sounds like the sort of signing we'd go for, so you never know....

    No chance of Loach going to Reading. They can't afford him.

    Loach will end up at Spurs.

    Thats a lie, Reading have taken Little from Pompey on a free transfer.
