It's common practice for sources within football clubs to request journalists to delay reporting something. It is plausible that they knew about it, but were told not to report it until now.

 

Also with the Mirror being from the same company, obviously they'd have known about it :lol: Probably told by head office to not report it and allow the Mirror to take the credit for breaking it.

Not so sure, the Mirror often say the Chronicle are wrong, a bit like the Journal saying transfer things related for the Chronicle to say it was wrong a few hours later.

Excited by prospect of Yedlin and Kenedy as wing backs, with Lejeune and Clark as CB, Merino or Hayden dropping into the centre of a three when defending or as a lynchpin for moving out of our half. Chuck in Shelvey's creative forward passing, Das Bost (ahem; ok Gayle) and the speed of Aarons/Atsu and Murphy/or Ritchie's forward play and that looks like a decent Premier League side; given a fair wind and a bit of luck re form/injuries. Haven't forgotten we'll need a keeper btw!

I doubt Rafa would play two attacking fullbacks at the same time unless he switched to a 3 at the back which seems unlikely.

That doesn't sound bad at all. We need a striker big time though, Lucas Perez won't happen but it'd be perfect.

There is zero contact between "head office" and the sports desk at Thomson House. Fact.
