And the OP asks for feedback does he not?
I get that they are helping fund the site but most of these threads are pointless. I read through the first 4-5 pages of the Josh King one the other day, and there wasn't one single reference to the article. All it was was a debate on whether or not he would be good enough, which was already happening in the Summer transfer window thread.
I know they are trying to generate traffic for their site but, tbh I'd be surprised if many people that comment in the threads actually read the articles at all. From my POV if they want to bring people to their site they need to be coming up with something new that makes them want to read more. Not something that is already being debated to death in the forum they are advertising their content in.
The interesting thing about Football Whispers is their transfer index stuff and that's the added value we're expecting them to have for us. Outside of the window it's probably fair enough that the stories are somewhat speculative but I really hope once the transfer activity kicks off that their articles become much more interesting/relevant. We'll see how it goes.
