That must be a joke name! My first boss insisted that when he was a teacher he had a boy called ' Stan Still '.
That twitter account is a fraud. The person in charge of the account makes up a completely random transfer rumour every day.
Yep, let's spend what little money we do have on someone and then loan him back to his current club. We'd never do that...* *remembers dashing £6m on Okoye when we desperately needed outfield players and loaning him back...
You normally suspect a fraudulent Twitter account by the low number of followers, however this one has 7,000
No! My favourite doubles pairing was when Caroline Hunt played with Angie Mycock. Really poorly thought out!
I suspect it’s because the ‘gullible’ are fooled into thinking that a “verified” twitter account that generates completely randomised transfer rumours on a daily basis, is reliable. I also suspect that the number of followers being 7,000 is not hard to accumulate when the account has been up and running for over 10 years, under the false pretence of being a football transfer wizard. We have [had] our very own Walter Mitty in the Watford Twitter community, that goes by the name of Daniel Moroney. Funnily enough I can’t find him on twitter anymore. He’s either blocked me, or has had enough of holding up the lie that is being ‘In The Know’. If I remember correctly, he had a few thousand followers too!
Nevermind, i’ve found the bloke. Goes by the name @DanM_Reports. Simply regurgitates rumours that have spread, and claims it as his own form of journalism. Just the lowest of the low when it comes to journalism.
God, I feel like Lowerous doing this. The things I do to keep you happy ‘ey?… Here’s an example - kindly presented to us by one of the comments (Tomzy87) responding to Dan M’s own tweet: July 29 2023 @ 15:45. Gentleman by the name of Fraz Fletcher indicated that we are linked with Alfredo Morelos. https://twitter.com/FrazFletcher/status/1685300535945994240 July 29th 2023 @ *16:02*. Our very own ITK, Dan M reports that we are in talks with signing Alfredo Morelos, a whole 17 minutes later… Funny that. https://twitter.com/DanM_Reports/status/1685304903894216704 Now obviously, neither of the two were correct in their transfer rumour.. And *maybe*, just maybe, they were both correct in that we were in talks with Morelos.. but my point is, he doesn’t break any news, he simply regurgitates other rumours, without even citing his source. This isn’t a standalone case, I simply can’t be bothered to track down his other “claims”, as it’s all a load of bllcks anyways!
No stress - your joke flew over my head (as with most things). Am working from home, so plenty of time to kill anyways - even if it means debunking the Watford Twitter faithful
I'm not sure us spending a sizeable chunk of our no doubt limited transfer budget on a player who'd just be backup to our basically undroppable captain in Hoedt seems plausible. It would only make sense if Hoedt was on the way out soon, which I hope isn't the case. Otherwise we'd surely be looking at a backup left-footed CB who would require a far smaller fee.
When i was in the RAF I had a mate called Keith Cider who wanted to call his son Justin. His wife said NO!!!!
Looks like the missing link. Imagine the state of the plugholes in the shower after this hairy ba stard has been in. It's a massive no from me.
