    We're all being whoooshed.

    Somehow we've convinced ourselves that today is the day ........ like we did yesterday. :neutral:

    Yet every time the same thing happens, same raised expectations, same disappointment and blame.

    WIO.... Oh, why bother

    We are going to sign about ten players by the end of August so today is as good as day as any.  It will happen :-)

    Ibe wouldn't have agreed to cancel his Derby contract if he didn't have a new club lined up already, or at least cast iron offers on the table.

    However, Henry Irving broke this rumour and since he's quite a recognisable face for the club, I don't think he would have done it if it was a genuine tip-off.
    Henry Irving speculated about him, nothing more. He's local and free. That was it.

    Other people commented on it and now it's a rumour.that fake sites post to try and look in the know 

    It's a classic example of how rumours feed on themselves to grow and gain credibility. A few people repeat it and suddenly he's been spotted at the training ground.

    I wish I could claim I did it as an experiment but I didn't.



    A just goes to show, there very much can be smoke without fire.

    I suspect it started here when someone threw it in as a suggestion.

    Well I’m blowed, I didn’t know that @Henry Irving was a football agent 😯. You old dark horse Henners 😉.

    Jordon Ibe, someone asked if we were in for him. I think Cawley has now dismissed every name linked on here

    No to Ibe, no to Mullin, no to Boyle, no to Tucker. Any other rumours that Cawley has poopooed?

    Maybe we can decipher possible incomings by knowing which players he hasn’t dismissed?

    To be fair I like Cawley but he is a spoil sport when we have a rumour on here about a player and then he dismisses it out of hand. and kills the rumour dead and buried and rhea we have to start another one.

    I hate when Cawley tweets haha, all he does is confirm a signing that's been touted on here for weeks before the official Twitter does or shut down what could be a promising signing for us 

    I appreciate him but I don't at the same time, sort of like a tough loving parent

    If years of following the rumours thread on here has taught us anything it’s that if someone posts it on here it’s almost certainly bullshit.

    Yep, that's me. As you know he crashed his car walking distance from my home in Bromley.

    Might have been the invoice for my services I'd just given him.

    Cleverly worded by Rich Cawley.  From his tweet I can only assume "isn't a deal being worked on" means DONE DEAL.  Announce Jordan Ibe.
    😂

    Exactly 
    He kills all the rumours stone dead but allows the fish puns to continue. 
    He's nothing more than a pilchard

    Remember, a Pilchard is just a small herring. Perhaps a Red Herring?  :wink:
