Agree. Love Ally, but he seems to get fed the company line a lot. Especially if ManU are interested we're not exactly going to go out West Ham style and be "WE'RE BIDDING ON THIS PLAYER EVERYONE! HEY GUYS WE SUBMITTED A BID! GUYS!? HELLO!?"
To be fair, he hasn't been a full-time journalist for long (I think), so it would be harsh to expect him to have insane contacts in the club.
The original story about our bid of £25m was in the telegraph last week. Came from Sam Wallace their chief football man. I have no doubt that he would not put his name to that unless his sources were very good, which they will be. Both clubs denied it but that often happens.
Anyone ever seen ally gold and Ali z in the same room? Sure Ali z said sessegnon not this window
I was suggesting the stuff Sky reported from 'their sources' live on air and then what came after. I'm sure it's all linked no doubt.
I've got his book.
As someone who watches betting patterns closely don't put too much emphasis on that. We may well lose out to United on this one but betters are very over confident on United completing deals they are linked too. Especially when sky news is involved.
Thing is I'd much rather the negative bit was to miss out on sessegnon, than to lose rose. We'll just buy sessegnon off them when he hasn't played for three years and is out of favour.
And this, betting is rubbish as a guide, particularly Utd or the scousers.
I'd much rather sign Sessegnon and have that bird securely in the bag rather than let United sign him and then trust them to not have their fax machine accidentally on purpose break down in the final hours when they're supposed to sell us Martial.
Thickening, the plot is. Happen, the transfer will.
