    What’s ebcafc? Seems like it’s one of those websites that regurgitates news from elsewhere, this this case rehashing Simon Parker’s article from this morning.

    Pickford looked a nervous wreck first few games and thought we'd brought in a dud. Just goes to show first impressions can be misleading

    I heard Kevin remembers his first.

    It took him 7 oranges to get the taste of of his mouth.

    It's exactly that. They once said they understand Vadaine Oliver was set to sign after the picture of him at the ground was posted on social media or they claimed to be ITK about Wright leaving when it was all over social media already. When they say "we understand" it means they've read it somewhere else.
    They've also got plenty wrong, they once said Connor Wood was signing a new deal and after that Gillingham away game in 18/19 they said Hopkin had resigned.

    You can believe this or not but Hughes was at United's match last night. Less sure on Martin but here's hoping!

    Proof if needed that Simon Parker reads this site. His article on transfers this morning , is almost identical to my post earlier in this thread, except he has used more words to say the same thing . Typical journalist LOL
    Lets hope this supposed new player if he comes off, is worth the wait.

    Well if he’s reading this.

    Up your game and start digging deeper into the club . Lazy journalists

    He knows who it is, he was at the club on Tuesday night, he just can't say.

    I find Parker extremely irritating

    I appreciate he has to keep things under his hat to gain semi-exclusiveness to all the latest news, but he needs to stop the shitty "don't go to bed just yet" tweets late on a transfer deadline day if he's not 100% sure the signing will be announced imminently. It just gets people on edge for no reason whatsoever, while he takes great pleasure of being the person "in the know". The silence is deafening when people are asking him questions and biting to one of his click bait tweets, and he refuses to respond. Infuriating

    And it's most deadline days, not just this one!

    That's what journalists do, it's part of their job.
