It's a choice of either:

We tell you what we can cryptically so we keep the source sweet and you know something is happening and people can pass the time guessing a bit

or

We keep it private as the source doesn't want it shared and you sit in here talking about Modric going all day

Also the majority of the information posted wasn't cryptic but that's been ignored.

Good point...like Villa could actually be interested in two or three of our players. We think they like Hutton, thats common knowledge, but nobody has attempted to speculate on anybody else...

maybe Jenas, as Reo-coker left :shrug:

Possible loan deal for Bentley...although not sure how impressed AM was with him at Birmingham...

Maybe even Kranjcar :shrug:

But surely the Source would recognise this and link the cryptic with the divulged player info straight away. Unless the clue would puzzle Sherlock for a good few days, or levy himself sets the game. Im not sure I'd risk posting anything if my job was at risk.

There's a difference between "someone on SC has posted about the XXX deal, how the fuck did they find that out?! " compared to "there's a load of nonsense about cretins and swans, they obviously know we've made an offer for XXX" :p

I think I started a Forlan thread this window but could be getting confused with January (or just about any other window)

wasnt there alot of talk of bentley going to atletico madrid? send him there as a direct swap for forlan (although for some reason, the people seem to think he could go on a free?)

Sorting the forum by thread title still works without the search and is the easiest way to find a player thread. Found it now :)

See top of forums^^

"I've disabled the forum search capabilities (including "new posts" and anything else that uses search) in order to lessen the strain on the server. These may come back and go intermittently depending on how the server is holding up."

With the search on we wouldn't be coping with the 1500 people we have online during the day.

but the amount of info given never suggests 1 player...so its hardly a source is it. i honestly believe we as a club dont know who we are after, or who we can get. SO obvious we need strikers but still none. 3 fucking windows. and counting. sorry if im being an annoying shit but with the frustration of the transfers over the last 2 years and then the cryptic its hardly suprising. :-|

You've lost me now :)

I thought you were just saying should just name the player we're interested in and I tried to explain why the source for the info wouldn't like that.

Forlan still has 2 years remaining on his contract. How in the world can he be had on a "free transfer?" Is Atletico going to void his contract specifically for us to sign him? Is there no other club in the world that would be willing to pay even a minimal fee for his transfer?

It sounds like complete and utter nonsense to me.

You look like you're new so maybe chilll out a little bit. Rob runs the site, and does a pretty great, tireless and well balanced job on this forum. Calm down and good things will happen to you. Or not.

not sure why we are bothering, but it could also be looked as we have found him, and he can also be found in "german, if you please". can't really think of any names contained within that. aguero is i guess, but we all know about the high chances of that one

IVE LOST MYSELF! i just cant see why a name cant be mentioned. if a player is being looked at then there would be lots of people in the loop. why would a source say i know who it is but you cant say. then you say with a cryptic that nobody will guess. why bother in the first place..... that made sense in my head but not on paper..:grin: fuck.... :bang:
