Came across this site just now, apparently there have been 82 transfer rumours related to Charlton in the Daily Mirror and 22 of them were correct.

about 1 out of 5 - thats actually better than i would have thought. when you think the majority of rumours are started by agents looking to drum up interest in their clients or fans hoping if they can get a rumour printed it might actually come true. then there's lazy journalists that just rehash old stories or literally make things up. looks like the mirror, once in a while, actually do get some inside information... who would have thought it.
