On the issue of the two threads. I don't think it's been divided correctly.

There should be one for any transfer rumour even the rubbish ones.

And then one to talk about the rumour. It would also be good if the mods set it up so it automatically cross posted everything from the main transfer rumour thread to the waffle one.

Reads and ignores.

Oh OK, I'm not totally ignoring it. What follows isn't particularly aimed at you, they're mostly generic.
For the umpteenth time, here's how it works.

  • Rumour reported in a vaguely credible source recently ( lets say the last month ) - it goes in here
  • Older rumours and stuff of the ilk "heh, he might want to play here" goes in the speculation thread
  • Rumour gains credence and really looks like a goer, gets it's own thread
Who decides where the boundaries are ? The mod team do, not you.

If someone's asked by a mod to provide a recent source then people shouldn't take it personally, they should just provide it

If someone thinks someones posting a rumour in here which doesn't have a recent source then it's OK to POLITELY ask the poster to provide some evidence, a link being the obvious way, but don't jump all over them and play the ref, that's our job. Don't get a satisfactory answer ? Report it and we'll get round to looking at it when life permits.

We'll review how it's going and might tweak it a bit, but essentially, that's how it's going to be in the short term. We might even have a poll later to see what people think, but this thread isn't the place to voice any criticisms of how things are.

There've been enough words typed about the whys and wherefores. If it hasn't sunk in yet, it probably never will.

Copy this post mate. I fear you may need to paste it 64 times this summer.

Thought he said it "Wasnt displeasing" Which must mean "Is pleasing" Even in French.

And he said he would ease his passage or something.

Sounds kind of sinister, like he's going to kill him mercifully before he can sign for us.

Even if these rumours about this guy coming to us have any truth in them, I just can't see him picking us over whatever West Ham offer him wage-wise.. hope I'm wrong, like - his 'match facts' are drool-worthy.

French article about Payet, says this about Everton:

The Liverpool club would be willing to pay up to 13 million euros , which is not displeasing to the President Vincent Labrune, who would validate its passage without incident before the DNCG , scheduled for June 30.

The best thing about our interest in this guy, which seems genuine, is that it shows Knoberto has finally realised we have no one who can make a killer pass and add assists to our strikers. It has taken 2 years for him to act upon this glaring hole in our squad.
