He's not the "chief football writer for Brighton". He's not employed by Brighton as you said in a previous post.
Assuming he magically made a call to the club, the club told him the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth is stretching it.
As seen with local media anywhere, rumour tends to get more coverage than fact.
"get rid of people like you" f@ck me Walt didn't think you were so thin skinned
And ?
Can't see why you are making a personal attack on another posters contribution...?
For what it's worth, I found it interesting, and worth reading. That said as TOBW just said, the offer is less than Hull City Tigers.
If Wood is off for £15m then Zorhore is worth more in my opinion.
For the record I think selling Zohore would be a very, very bad move by Cardiff City.
We possibly have 10 more days of this with 10 different clubs interested. This is going to be a long, long wait till the window closes.
Who said he has no connection?
You have a touching faith in local media sports journalists being outstanding in their ability to investigate and report truthfully. I'd have thought a cursory look at WalesOnline would educate you on that score.
All local media report rumours. Just seem odd you'd rather believe a local journalist in Brighton than Neil Warnock when he says there have been no offers.
Warnock said there was no bid from Hull.
Choo and Dalman have said there was no bid from Brighton.
I see no reason to doubt any of them. I'm sure there have been dozens of phone calls and enquiries - but that is just chaff!
Warnock (without any qualification from Tan, Dalman or Choo) has been clear what the club's stance is on Zohore. It will take a very big bid (and £20m seems to be the territory) and for that to come from a top half Premier League club for Ken to move this window.
Already this summer Tan and individual players (Morrison, Bennett...) have already put faith in the club's prospects above short term financial gain. I'm just going to enjoy that, and what is happening on the pitch, and not waste time on mischievous speculation intended to cause trouble or as click bait.
Two journalists with connections to their local clubs have reported two different things, so the truth is somewhere in the middle. However this is an improvement on the report at the beginning of the thread that appeared to be based on hearsay.
Also making a bid and accepting a bid are two differing things. I'm glad that CCFC aren't giving running commentary on every enquiry they recieve, but I would be very surprised if Brighton haven't tested the water after their manager watched the player in question.
Somewhere in the middle? What, they made half an offer?
Assuming this Brighton journalist got info from the club there's a naive assumption they were telling the truth. It's not like any club have ever used the media to get out there publicly their interest in signing a player, trying to turn that players head and facilitate an eventual transfer.
