This looks promising...

...Manchester United's bid to sign Borussia Dortmund defender Mats Hummels is being aided by Liverpool, according to the Daily Mirror. United are reportedly nearing agreement on a million fee with Dortmund for Hummels after the Bundesliga club opened talks with Liverpool about a deal to sign centre-half Tiago Ilori on a season-long loan.

Source: Skysports Transfer Centre

Same info I get from goal.com but apparently I'm not allowed to post any possible transfer talk in here, so I just stopped posting altogether.

Their coach said that amount is ridiculous if that happens he will eat a broom...and skysports just saying what's happening in the papers in the morning

Well I say post away. As far as I'm concerned it's all rumour and speculation until it's confirmed. I won't judge you. Still interesting to read about it though

No one can stop you from posting I think the guys just impatient with all the bull**** stories and then you posting it one after the other didn't help but all the UK papers just post nonsense because now really we gonna get one of the best defenders in the world for 20 million

Don't whine. You know why I requested that you stop doing what you were doing.

I'm not impatient at all. I don't give a monkeys about speculation. If the player comes, he comes. If he doesn't, he doesn't. I'll know when it happens. Having new posts in here all the time about ridiculous rumours from unreliable sources is irritating. We have a transfer thread.

You're the one who whines. This is the Man Utd thread. If you don't wanna read about possible transfers, GTFO, grumpy. You don't get to tell anyone what to post. If you wanna do that, go start your own forum where you can make your own rules. Until then, STFU.

Exactly.

I think some people around here are old and grumpy and like to p1ss on other's parades. It is frustrating but I mean, heck, this is the Man Utd thread. What else are we supposed to discuss until everything is confirmed?

Jesus Christ, you got your period because we don't want posts from goal.com :erm: and don't act like to you were discussing anything.. Just posting BS rumour after BS rumour.. Only a child wouldn't get tired of it.

As I said, we have a transfer thread. Use it, don't use it. Just don't bitch because you were requested not to do stupid sh.t.

What part of this don't you understand? That all these websites get their info from other websites. It doesn't matter if I get it from goal.com or skysports. They are all getting their info from the same sources. Or can't you read?

No its not all the same, you have different degrees of reliability, some places just make up absolute nonsense to get advertising.

Goal.com has 90% inaccurate posts - they post every rubbish report out there

List of reliable and unreliable sources

Unreliable

Caught offside
Goal.com
The bleacher report
The express
Metro

Reliable

This falls more under individual journalists than the paper itself, as they are the ones with the contacts in the club.

Ian Ladyman at the Daily Mail (note anyone else from the Daily Mail and its likely BS)
Mark Ogden at the Telegraph
James Ducker at the Times
Jamie Jackson at the Guardian
Andy Mitten of United We Stand
Miguel Delaney at ESPN FC
Gianluca Di Marzio (good for a transfer involving a player in Serie A)
Any BBC report as long as its not in their gossip section
I wont add Sky because of Guillem Balague whos a BS imo

You can learn to use your discretion and other sources are good for specific leagues like Cadena Cope for the Spanish League

Dailymail is the best. You can allways catch up on some side boob and nip slips on your way to the sports pages. :D

Skysports probably the most reliable IMO but guillem balague thinks he the boss and full of **** but he does more the Spanish league

Interesting that you guys consider him reliable. He is considered one of the worst hacks by us inter fans. Alfredo Pedulla is much better.
