It's a fine line. But I haven't gone full nutter yet.
You already have if you think he deserves another transfer window
Eh? This is becoming just a bit too far-fetched.
I know, the idea of Pedro, Rahman Baba and Falcao strutting their stuff.
Like I said, it is a very fine line. We are in desperate need of a creative midfielder though.You already have if you think he deserves another transfer window
Just a bit. When has an outlet known for reporting news, rumours and feint links ever kept a lid on news, rumours and feint links? If they had a concrete story for Mourinho to United, they'd have it plastered all over their channel and website, immediately. No way they have the story but are keeping it hush.
Vangle would make him uncreative.
Did he really have a big say in all those transfers though?? It's not like he had complete control over who he wanted at Chelsea was it??I know, the idea of Pedro, Rahman Baba and Falcao strutting their stuff.
I disagree
Plenty would disagree with you
Careful you'll get splinters on your bum
Maybe they would
Well if someone working on social media for Adidas for 25 grand a year doesn't know where he's off to then no one does.
Bottom inspector alert?
You're so past it too.
Pretty sure de Brun has interviewed people from the club for his show in the past, which would put him on level ground with others who we routinely retweet here.
If there is a straw to be clutched at....the Caf will find it!
Correct. He's a passionate fan and not afraid of posting his views, however, he's certainly got contacts in football and regularly interviews people in the game.
Interviewing people from the club doesn't give him access to any information regarding the relationship between board members or fergie and woodward and whether they hate each other or not, that's like me claiming i know exactly what happened between giggs and his wife because i ran into neville and had a chat for a minute, that makes him a proven bullshitter as far as i'm concerned, he makes up shit for attention and followers, we hammer red issue for the same thing here. It's much easier to tolerate journalists who only talk about transfers.
It puts him on level ground with a lot of journos who also don't have any inside information about the inner workings of the club but still get retweeted here. Remember, the twitter thread is generally fact free and full of conjecture, so Pilip's tweets wouldn't be starkly different to those of the likes of Tancredi, Castles, that Chilean "expert", Ducker et al. If we limited tweets to only the likes of Di Marzio, Mathieson, Ogden, and Mitten, the thread would be pretty boring.
This has to be the most protracted managerial appointment in football history.
I mean it isn't really that good. It could be written in five words: 'No one knows anything yet.' It's basically a reworking of the two stories we consistently see trotted out - 'he's close'/'nothing to confirm', but by being self-referential it is attempting to elevate itself above all other speculation.
I don't know the bloke, don't have a dog in the fight, but here's my view fwiw: he works inside the football media, in a rapidly growing sector and has regular access to people who know things in the game, whether they be on the footballing or journalistic side. Quite a lot of those people speak to him regularly so they build up a rapport. They're also being paid, I assume, for their contributions, so they'll be quite happy to discuss things with him both on-air and also, I would suggest, off-air. I don't think he holds himself out as being a super ITK or anything but he does appear to be someone with contacts within the game and also senior contacts within the club. Football is one of the most gossipy professions going. Like all people who work in an information sharing field he'll sometimes be told something that isn't the case, or something that isn't true and people will hammer him for it. Journalists who've been working around the club for decades can't get to the bottom of the story conclusively. Some of them have different views and/or sources of information. If they can't pin it down beyond doubt what hope for anyone else?
It needs LVG loaded into a cannon in the middle of the OT pitch, Ed shouts "You're fired!" and the cannon blasts him over the stand and into oblivion.
Into Portugal would do, save him the airfare.
He's a good lad and certainly no wum. You're pretty much bang on - he doesn't claim to be some hot shot gossip specialist - as you correctly point out, they don't exist.
