    First of all this isn't a wind up.

    Reports coming out that we are favourites at Liverpool to sign Son this Summer. I know it's silly season but where the hell is this one coming from? Is he unhappy and wanting a move?

    I imagine this is just red tops just trying to sell papers but thought I'd ask if you lot know if he is looking to move.

    He's a good player but he'd be in the same situation with us as he is with you as back up to our current front players.

    Think it’s media bollocks, mate.

    Whispers down here is that he’s one of the players close to signing a new deal.

    The only worry with Son from a Spurs perspective is that in two years time he’s supposed to do military service unless he receives special dispensation, I’m hoping he does get that but no one knows for sure at the moment.

    It's coming from Sport1, a German site nobody had heard of until they reported we were sending Son to Man Utd in a swap deal for Anthony Martial - a report that was posted a few hours before they then decided that, actually, Son was heading to a team whose players are surely considering leaving due to their lack of triophies for the past few years.

    Saw it a few days ago. Both you and Utd, so the story went.

    Nobody else had even mentioned it. Lazy, fill the spaces journalism for me.

    I figured it had to be nonsense, I find it crazy that there's absolutly nothing to it and they get away with just making things up.

    That's the issue with sites these days: to get noticed ahead of the thousands of other sites they need to come up with some outlandish rumour in the hope that somebody else picks up on it - although since Don Balon already does this, they have to get even zanier to stand out. That's why I constantly take the piss out of Turkish sites in the transfer thread, because according to them 2/3 of their national team would be playing for us by now.

    I don't pay much attention to transfer rumours 99% of it is made up but some love it which I find a bit odd.

    We have discussed this often in our "hack watch" article.

    The basis premise seems that they can get away with it
    because even when untrue, it does not actually/potentially
    damage the players' club in a material manner.

    I wonder if for a club like Spurs, if a sponsorship deal or
    commercial loan amount is conditional on particular
    personnel remaining, a "see you in court" would be possible.

    I mention this based on claims that the funding the Goons initially
    got for the Library was conditional on Wenger remaining as manager.

    How many of the Poool monitoring hacks or websites had
    the Fabinho deal up and running, and how long before the
    club officially announced the deal ??

    Also, he doesn't really sit on the bench. When we play 4 at the back, he is a regular starter along with Kane, Alli and Eriksen. 5 at the back and he is the one to drop out, but always comes on as a sub. I doubt playing time is an issue for him.

    Only missed one league game (West Ham away) and made 53 appearances overall in the last campaign:
    https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/heung-min-son/leistungsdaten/spieler/91845/saison/2017/plus/1#gesamt

    39 starts in all competitions. Only seven players got more minutes than him:

    As it's a World Cup you can crank that up to 99.99999999999999999% given all a player has to do is have one good game and he's being linked to all and sundry, for example we've already been linked with Juan Quintero and Ante Rebic - the latter being particularly wide of the mark considering he joins Eintracht Frankfurt on Sunday.

    'Borehole' used to be replaced with 'brothel' on microsoft word a few years back. One had to check ground investigation reports very carefully before publishing them.

    Report to the shareholders :

    Brothel 1 - excellent results.
    Brothel 2 - shows great potential.

    Or if you said high quality ores were located in brothel 1, readers might wrongly assume you had left a couple of letters out.
