Its his dream to play for Madrid, only wants to move to Madrid, sleeps in Madrid Pajamas, has a dog named Raul.

City outbid us by an extra 25k a week. Dream club my arse. If he wanted that move so badly he'd make it happen.

He could turn up to every interview in his full Madrid kit as long as he's banging the goals in for us. "I dedicate the 8 goals I scored against the rags today to di Stefano"

It's gross naivety or arrogance on your part.

Instead of taking magic beans, perhaps take a more humble view that there are always people who have access to information and readily share it whichever sphere they work in.

We get company takeovers discussed on the golf course FFS!

There are huge chains of departments across football.

This.

I knew some confidential details about the MEN Arena attack that I was given and won’t share to this day because of the nature of them....so you can bet the police, fire service, hospital service, legal services all knew too. People love sharing confidential information, makes them feel important and relevant...
 
Is it still March in some part of the world because I was assured we would hear something concrete this month?
Surely people weren’t just guessing and telling me fibs..
C’mon uby, sort it out.

Well Dobsy, this discussion started because some dink was saying words to the effect that everything gets out / there are no secrets in football because he knows a girl who knows everything.

I pointed out that, as in all businesses, there are matters of commercial confidentiality that remain confidential because business professionals do stuff like that for a living regardless of whether it’s footie or some other industry.

When it comes to transfers where a player is, in effect, being auctioned to the highest bidder and agents are trying to play one club off against another and clubs are briefing favoured journo’s etc then there are obviously a lot of rumours flying round, and we all love a good rumour.
However, we don’t ever get to know the elements involved that are held in confidence because those elements are indeed confidential. So we never know in advance how much a club are ultimately willing to bid etc.

Beyond that there are player purchases and, as I pointed out, the purchases of complete football clubs (ground, players, staff all in) that are kept entirely confidential as both you and I know from what we’ve seen CFG do down the years - thus proving the original point that matters that are held in confidence are not chatted about openly in the club canteen.

I didn’t say that nothing gets out, I didn’t say that no rumours have any substance, what I said was that business professionals can keep schtum in football just as business professions can keep schtum in all other industries.

Then I get a line of rumour merchants trying to unpick that because their stock in trade and very status requires magic beans to be always truly magic.
I even got accused of being naive but if you’re a thinking man and you read the above you’ll understand that what I’ve written and the examples given from the activities of our own senior company (CFG) proves the point I made - and that’s despite the best efforts of some to put a spin on my words to try to twist them to say something else entirely.

Mind you, if I knew a girl who worked at a football club or I had a cousin who ran a £400 million hedge fund and they both had to unburden their innermost secrets to me then maybe I’d see this from a different perspective.

And regards being in a transfer forum, I come in here for the banter and it serves to show me how few rumours ever had anything in them and how many were the usual bullshit that the truly naive amongst us can unfortunately hang their hats on.

I had to track back a bit but sorry bud, you've stated that anything confidential stays confidential (across all businesses) at least the once. You know full well that that's just not true, there always have been and always will be leaks (not of every deal obviously). Those leaks can get totally lost in the avalanche of rumours and claimed ITK knowledge that gets spewed out on a minute by minute basis nowadays, but the chances are that some of that information is true.

Knocking the 'magic beans' nonsense on the head wouldn't come amiss BTW.

April I think, you've got another month of this until April runs out and we go full circle ;)
