      None that I know of.

      Some of the lads and lasses here follow people on twitter that are supposed to be reliable, but I give everything a swerve, and just wait to see who we actually sign.
      I find it's easier that way.
      I read somewhere that Skysports.com and BBC sport are reliable sites with transfer rumors,but now i see those are bollocks.

      No, they are typically reliable, but they usually only report things once it's been confirmed by the club or someone very close to the club.

      Their rumour pages are sh*te though.
      They just pluck selected reports from the daily press.

      Yep, as does the Echo and even the offal has a section for rumors that aggregates them from other cites. Purely click traffic driven.

      Instead of relying on news outlets, rely on specific journalists instead. For the most part (and I stress for the most part, not always), James Pearce and Tony Barrett are pretty reliable, Rory Smith as well, etc.

      A thread from the poster who brought us legendary "Should we retire the #8 shirt" thread.

      I will pass on this one and wait on the "Should Dunkin Donuts create a meat filled donut with sprinkles thread", I think that one will get more play.

      Shouldn't it be you're a loser?  :f_tongueincheek:

      As I said, I don't care about other mistakes. I was clear on this point.  :D

      Simon Kjaer picked Fenerbahce over Liverpool,Mohamed Salah picked Chelsea over us,Kieran Trippier picked Tottenham over us,Alexis Sanchez picked arsenal over us,Yehven Konoplyanka stayed at Dnipro rather than coming to Anfield....what the hell is going on,is that because we are not playing top CL football or there is something more???

      Well you got part of this post right. Salah didn't turn us down for the Chavs, we couldn't agree a fee for him so he didn't even have the chance to turn us down. Konoplyanka didn't turn us down either, he was wanting to join us but Dnipro's owner wouldn't allow it to happen.

      Looking back over the first page, can see this thread has already gone as tits up as our transfer dealings and given apparently no one is really bothered in this topic by the looks of it, will just lock it up now.
