As for getting news from the players - I tell you one thing - they DO NOT know what is happening at the club, they will as surprised as everyone else when new players are presented....
Actually that is a crock. Players like many employees don't know everything that goes on at their place of employment but that does not mean they never have info on interesting goings on at their place of work. I've explained in the past on here about the info I had about transfers that didn't happen but were definitely deals City were trying to do,
which came from the player in question, who had a very good relationship with Sven and who would have been invited onto Sven's coaching staff had Sven stayed. Players certainly know what goes on inside the dressing room, which was the sort of stuff I used to inform my postings in the; albeit mostly on the MuEN forum. Most of what I heard that got on to this forum did so via a poster who had a well deserved reputation for having contacts and who gave me information that I used on the MuEN.
