Quote: Superted "The problem with this is that anybody can say 'I've heard Leeds have signed a big name, but I'm not willing to say who'... Completely pointless speculation. If a signing is announced he'll then claim this is who he had heard, and if no signing is forthcoming, it will just be forgotten about, as he never actually confirmed anything.
If he has a scoop, then surely he should publish it - thats generally what his job is.... I can understand that he may have heard a name, and there might be reasons that he cant or wont mention it (confidentiality, loss of trust etc), but if this is the case, he shouldnt have mentioned anything at all.'"
I agree. If there were some genuine reasons why he could not mention the name, which is possible, why raise the possibility on TV! He raised the matter on twitter a few weeks ago so I assume that as he mentioned it again on Sky this week, the signing is still "on". He does have a pretty good record of getting information before other journalists and as he said on TV, this rumour has come from a very good source.
