No idea. Don’t know who that this guy is. But it’s a rumour, and this is a rumours thread is it not?

100% correct and tbf I would be surprised if we haven't shown a bit of interest in Wilks and for me he would be a decent addition as an attacking threat. Surely you would expect Rotherham to also be interested

I know Gareth can be a bit well ya know but to be fair to him here Mitch certainly wasn't happy with the contract,which must have been changed and he signed

Is this what the club put out when they announced his extension or was it in Matt Hancocks interview the other day?

 

To be fair BJ there will be people on here who personally know players or family members of theirs,they know people at the club(although it is a very tight ship now where staff and stuff getting out are concerned) or they actually know someone in football that will know things,it doesn't have to be out there officially to be true.... yes a load of <ovf censored> is put out there but also some truth from certain people.

He's mentioning Ike Ugbo and Malik Wilks this morning.

Said he's seen a 'giant' at Vale that he's never seen before.

I don't mind the spurious rumours - keeps the pre season interesting!

I know that he lives near Vale so will keep an eye on people going into the club,will he know who they are probably not but like you say he will keep the rumours going that's for certain

I hope the giant is a CB and not Kyle Hudlin 🙂

Sorry if repeated

Just spotted Thierry Small gone to Preston. 

He is another one who looked crap because he wasn't played in his correct position when he was here yet did well at Charlton and as you say then gets a 4yr deal at Preston.

Sadly I think this will be Plants problem here,had loads of potential and high hopes when he was younger then played out of position(although i never think he let us down) and he now finds himself well down the pecking order and will probably end up moving on sadly(maybe to Yeovil now they have new owners)

I'm sure there used to be someone on here who did that and it gained like uk wide Traction being picked up in the papers and stuff I can't remember the player but it was just a far out signing I may well have being the Robbie Fowler rumour

Why is it important you knowing what or who other people know?

This is by no means a dig at you BJ but as i stated before some people have friends in football or they know a player or staff but why should people name or say who they know,it's up to individuals on here if they believe what people post or not on this thread

It's like when people say how many times have you seen such and such play,how do you know they are any good... everyone has opinions

Delap, Jack Clarke , Harewood-Bellis, Philogene, Rowett. Indeed Campbell was deemed crap but finished top scorer at Sheff United. 

All  so- called failures at Stoke, all cast aside as crap.

Stoke are a car crash and have continued to be such under Robins. 

And long may it continue. 🙏🙏😃

Sam Dalby is signing for Bolton

He’d have been a great signing, but i did think he was an little out of reach for us.
