Tell me something we dont know Paul !
I guess thats the first thing you would think when you read my threads title. (closely followed by: Here we go, what has that tool posted now?!) Between you & me i think your right.....
Anyway we all know how much BS the media come up with on a daily basis, especially in football around the transfer window times, usually its the same old back handed compliment linking us to some decent players (we are no longer relegation candidates linked with the likes of Shaun Maloney or Ali Al Habsi....wait a minute......) followed by once Ross Barkley has completed his £45million to Chelsea or City. You know the usual lazy journalism crap.
This become more apparent in recent weeks to me, especially when visiting GOT. As with many other football fans we often post threads asking who should Everton sign in the window ? Most recently it is the Goalkeeper dilemma or the need of a winger to balance the team.
The common names are Marshall (cardiff), the young mainz keeper and John Ruddy (norwich), this was then reported by one or two rags as Martinez interested in *insert keeper name here*.
I also posted a comment recently asking what peoples thoughts were on Aaron Lennon and how much you pay for him if available ? A day or two later one paper reported we are favourites for his signature !
Now i am not saying we are apart of some conspiracy plot, but actually how many stories we read in the papers are not made up by journalists but by us ourselves ? If we constantly talk about lets say Barkley leaving for United - a journo picks it up and publishes it - rumours begin - agents hear this - player is told Chelsea are interested - player leaves - journalist is then 'in the know'.
What are your thoughts on Journalism ? Do you get excited hearing us linked with certain players, even though you know it is probably tosh ?
What is your most favourite rumour ? The infamous Riquelme deal ?
Who would you like for us to sign if we only sign one player ? Marshall, Perisic or maybe the focus should be improved offers for Mirallas or McCarthy is the priority ?
Thoughts people ???
