Articles with named sources on the beeb are a different kettle and fish to articles with undisclosed sources.

Wouldn't like to say told you so mind...

Although at that time, it was no secret that Spurs were leading the race to sign Duff. Even Duff admitted that he'd spoken to Spurs. But we've said we dont want to sell, and the player hasn't handed in a transfer request. Things change, the same could have been said for Dyer last month. Don't see how I've personally moved the goalposts Wullie, the goalposts are always moving in the transfer market. But given that Milner is preferred to Zoggy on the left, and that the BBC are rarely wrong as to what is happenning at that exact moment, N'Zogbia certainly looks on route to a Fulham move, although the goalposts may change, someonemight have a change of heart, or another club may come in.

The BBC needs to get hits The BBC does not need to report rubbish, it always has enough content to cover. Aye and thats evident, what with the utter garbage they are putting up BBC full of garbage? League defends owner test Tevez court date set for August Interest shown in Man Utd's Smith Fulham 'target Seol and N'Zogbia' Robinson 'keen on Wigan switch' McManus named Celtic captain Blues apply for Alex work permit Hearts sign four new faces Brazil submits 2014 Cup bid All seem pretty reasonable to me. Of course the Zoggy bit is slightly out of the blue, but these nuggets the BBC come out with are generally pretty true. Can anyone find a BBC football story that is clearly detached from fact. I've never known them to really cock up a story regarding a Newcastle transfer.

Its true that my dissertation was on the BBC. I think we'd let N'Zogbia go. Milner is clearly preferred on the left wing, and we've still got Duff to come back.

From a fulham site Which is what SSN's website is reporting. Rumours, that's all but James wants to state it as FACT Zoggy is on the verge of leaving. I'm not saying its fact, but I think its likely. If the article was inverted, and we were the club reported to be signing whoever, I know that the majority on here would consider it likely given the BBC's track record.

With the Seol quotes available, they didn't even need to mention N'Zogbia and have a story. For me, that adds to the credence of the piece.

On the BBC, 'according to reports' is a lot different to 'thought to be close' The truth of this BBC article also increases several times when they are the first source to be running this story.

Looks like he is off given that it is one of those typical 'BBC understands' articles that always come true. Don't take this the wrong way but you're talking out of your arsehole. How can you possibly take a snippet like that and take it as gospel? Editorial standards. Dont BBC always only report these things if they recieve matching info from two reliable sources.

Looks like he is off given that it is one of those typical 'BBC understands' articles that always come true. Examples? Viduka, Joey Barton in both cases the ball started seriously rolling with the 'BBC understands' or 'thought to be' line

Like I said, BBC often say that something is 'thought to be close' or that they 'understand,' and it usually comes true.

James this isn't a transfer thread...One the only few on this board. Can you delete sempukeface's corruption of this transfer free thread... Thanks in advance. Jesus. I'll start a new thread.

Replacement for N'Zogbia maybe?

Zog to Fulham is now looking very likely indeed.

If he is really care about the club who pay his ridiculous wages while he (almost) doing nothing here, why doesn't he move his so-called family to live in Newcastle instead the other way around? Well he is less likely to want to do that now.

You have to remember that they are Manchester United, one of the best teams in the world. They play 50+ games a season, and until Chelsea started spending extravagantly, it was perfectly normal for the best club in the country to have players in reserve who could get results against the non-big clubs, which the majority of the above names would have achieved.

Why? id rather him than Owen, only Owen is too big a name to even think about selling at this club. His goalscoring ratio isn't amazing, we have lots of forward cover, and we can realistically get the best possible money from him.

Why not?

Have to say, if a player has to be sacrificed to raise funds, Martins is our best bet.

How do we know it is £6m. Could be media overquoting - seems to happen to us a lot with these kind of transfers.

Its true that we do currently have at least seven players that could play up front and do a better job than Sunderland's Michael Chopra.
