Rumour Mill

Quoted from Davec

Couple of weeks ago somebody shared an article written by a Walsall fan on Andy Cook and it seems the general consensus was that his off field lifestyle hasn't changed much, I can't rememeber which thread or which poster, can anybody find it please

I wonder if said article was written before or after it became clear he wanted to leave Walsall? May explain a lot if it was the latter...

Some players just have a style of play that looks a bit lethargic but that's not to mean they don't put a shift in.

To be honest, if Andy Cook signs and gets 15+ goals then I won't care what his diet or social life is like.

Thing is, with Town fans, you get someone who's an obvious grafter, like LJL, and even when he got 20 in a season you still found fans moaning about him.

I'd be careful not to create a squad and a culture like that of 09/10, so of course I do care to some degree that we sign good people as well as good players.

I think Cook is a good lad. He's maybe a bit of a throwback but that doesn't make him lazy. We all know how tough it is to find good strikers at any level, so if we can somehow start next season with Cook and Green up front then I'd say Jolley's done a very good job indeed.

That could well happen regardless of whether or not we sign another striker...

I hope you are right. I also hope that if we do sign Cook or A.N Other striker that we settle on a system to play 2 up front and give them time to gel into a partnership like Matt and Podge at Newport and we don't just keep faffing about with one up top.  If you have these players you have to play to their strengths. We need to get the ball into the danger area and outnumber the defenders with at least one winger with the crossing quality of a Mike Brolly and a goalscoring box to box midfielder of the Joe Waters/John Cockerill style.

Interesting that one of the CA diarists wrote this today...

"If you want to know about the things that haven't happened yet, or probably won't happen at all, then, well, you know where to go. Once upon a time, your West Yorkshire Diary used to go to a mate who worked in a newsagents down St Peter's Avenue for fairly credible rumours, but that source dried up a little while back. Now I get them online, where the quality of rumour is, quite frankly, abysmal. That's because any fornicator can say anything they like.

The rumours tend to be either made up by bored teenagers searching for attention, or they're relatively genuine from credible sources – who then act like bored teenagers themselves by giving us crypric clues to assert their tribal 'I know more than you' dominance.

If you've got something to say, say it. If you're scared that the rumour may not be true, then don't say it. This quest for adulation from fellow fans irritates me more than the people who push the 'wait' button at a pedestrian crossing, even though you've clearly pressed it already."

I know there are various people writing these entries, but it wasn't long ago one of them made some really cryptic allusion to a potential takeover if/when we hit 50 points last season before falling decidedly silent on it. Unless I missed the follow up?

Agree with this 100%!!

Some people that have closer links to the Club, whether current or previous, like to post ITK comments as a show of Power, Knowledge! They then don’t follow these up as they quieten down. CP, formerly MT is a prime culprit of this.

The truth is, nobody knows as much as they make out!! They are just clutching onto social media acceptance and popularity!!
