Vero ; stand on ME ; #L4TOFF - I have no information

Spurs are keeping tabs on - Spurs will buy without watching him play

Liverpool are on the verge of - Chelsea have signed
 
Let's try and apply some of these insights to the BBC Gossip page :

"Everton have joined Newcastle in the chase for Andros Townsend. Toffees boss Roberto Martinez tried to take the 22-year-old to Goodison on loan last summer." - I can't be bothered to invent something new, let's resurrect an old story instead.

"Everton want Wilfried Bony to replace on-loan Romelu Lukaku" - He must be somewhere on Martinez's wish list, let's make out like he's the number one target.

"Manchester City are planning to strengthen their defence with a move for Mehdi Benatia" - I hear that Lescott may be on his way out.

"Arsenal and West Ham have held talks over the signing of Anderlecht defender Cheikhou Kouyate" - They phoned Anderlecht and asked is he available. When told the price, they hung up the phone.

"Liverpool are willing to meet a £20.4m release clause fee for Valencia midfielder Dani Parejo, according to Spanish newspaper" - Let's throw in the name of an English club to hype up some interest.

"Chelsea are prepared to offer David Luiz in exchange for Mario Mandzukic plus £15m" - I'm too lazy to invent a credible story, so I'll just invent a swap deal, even though they never happen any more at the top level.


 

"Van Gaal has identified the Irish international (Coleman) as a one of the players he wishes to bring to Old Trafford." - Coleman's had a quality season, he's too good to be playing for the likes of puny Everton now. A mighty club like United should have him in their team for next year.

"Everton are prepared to rival Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United for 19-year-old Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez" - we can't afford him.
 

"Sky News sources" - even some jarg twitter ITK broke this before us, hurry to spin it as an "exclusive"

"BREAKING: ..." - we'll pretend everyone else hasn't been discussing this for half an hour

"BBC Sport understands..." - the transfer window closed a month ago. is anyone still here? anyone?

"James McArthur is at Finch Farm working on his coaching badges. Nothing to see here." - James McArthur is at Finch Farm working on his coaching badges. There is really nothing to see here.
