I rarely read the transfer rumour threads on this forum, and only dipped in today as recovering from New Years celebrations and have nothing better to do.
I can however imagine that giving vague clues and then hiding behind the veil that releasing the exact information would somehow potentially cause the transfer to fall through would irk other posters. That is playground level shenanigans.

1) Yes I am afraid I do find that to be ludicrous. The idea that the name of a potential transfer target being unknown to other teams vast scouting networks, until it has been mentioned on specific football teams forum seems entirely unfeasible to me. A players agent would be touting his client to a variety of contacts to assist in getting the best possible deal for him.
Furthermore if a rival team had no idea that 'Player A' was for sale, and then someone mentioned we were close to signing 'Player A' on a relatively small football forum thread where hundred of players names are mentioned. I literally don't see how 'Player As' name filters back to the appropriate people, unless you either think that rival teams scouts read rival teams transfer forum rumour threads, or that a journalist does that same and is going to publish that unsubstantiated rumour somewhere.
2) I can actually get behind this a bit more. Whether it helps in a game or not, teams increasingly do use technology and data to scout opposition teams and come up with effective plans against them. However following on from the second part of my first point, I just don't see how the name of that player if it was posted on this forum would become public knowledge beyond those who read this thread.
'You posting the name of whoever it is your heard we are signing will literally have 0% impact on any potential transfer'
This is what I wanted to have a discussion around, and in what the original poster backtracked on then accused me of 'acting like royalty' because I called him out on it.
You eventually gave me a response to which I appreciated and then gave what I thought to be a decent counter response, but now you've just reverted back to being your normal defensive self.
Someone asked you why you won't reveal the name of the transfer target you know. You said you couldn't give it because it could damage the potential transfer.
I think that this is incorrect, and have said as much, and even given reasons to why I think it is. Since then you backtracked on what you said, and stated the reason you didn't give the name was because your source wouldn't trust you anymore.
All I said was why didn't you say that originally and since then you've resorted to saying 'I think I am royality'. Yes I made a combatative response to that post, but that was only in reaction to what you said.
I never once accussed you of not knowing the name of the player we may sign, or reverted to calling you an attention seeker or billy big bollox or all the other stuff other posters have said. I was responding to something that I thought was incorrect and tried to do it in a none derogatory way.6 -

Taking the player 15 hours via train and with a hospital boot on to arrive for his photo.2

Loan deal done and announced tomorrow morning, around 10am I think.
Think there will be at least a couple of permanent deals this month. I also think that by the 10th we will have got in at least 2 players, hopefully 3.
I also am confident that the takeover will be confirmed by the end of this week.
Let’s cut the squabbling, the negativity, and enjoy the new year with some positive things happening very soon.64 -
