Absolute joke of a website.

Newspapers are dying a death & transfering to a different media but keeping the same newspaper approach is failing dismally, to slow & too reliant on scanning other sites.

Heisenbet is offering Salah to Cardiff City @ 2,000,000/1 so it's probably unlikely, but let's publish it anyway

Someone on twitter complained about lack of WPL and one of the journalists at Walesonline asked what it should replace, giving examples of hugely popular rugby coverage or City and Jack's news.

If he is reading then perhaps this sort of article could be dropped for greater coverage of the WPL.

No issue with it myself.

Just to fill some pages during silly season

Just to gain some easy ad revenue silly season

It's not journalism.

This sort of article is just pointless, it's not even fun or entertaining.

I'm going to look at our possible signings by analysing the betting odds on various bookmaker sites said no one ever.

Wouldn't even mind some good transfer rumours but most from the trinity mirror group seem sourced from forums and social media. The fill in the survey to read the rest of the article thing that pops up now and again is also amateurish.

They are still saying that Premier League clubs can loan players to each other after Thursday 5.00 pm until the end of the month!

Marko Grujic update

It appears unlikely that Marko Grujic will join Cardiff this week.

But don’t rule out a loan move later in the window.

Our colleagues at the Liverpool Echo are confident that the Serbian will not leave Anfield before tomorrow’s 5pm deadline.

But that’s not to say he won’t leave later this month.

Watch this space.

Their 'journalistic' stablemates at The Mirror rubbished that idea last week!

The EPL website says:

As agreed by the clubs in September 2017, the summer transfer window will close at 17:00 BST on Thursday 9 August 2018.

This new agreement, which applies only to the acquisition of players, will be for Premier League clubs only and has no bearing on other leagues and competitions.

Clubs will still have the ability to sell or loan players to other leagues whose transfer windows are open, as they can now to leagues that have different transfer window dates.

So - No Grujic loan after Thursday 5.00 pm

They probably do mean us but technically I suppose they are right, he can leave after Thursday, just not to us.

Crap article.
They didn't even mention that we have an outside chance of signing Messi.

Make up your mind.

Are these kids writing this during summer holidays or adults taking a wage?

If the latter, sack them immediately.

Pointless publishing that drivel, we can't afford any of them apart from Grujic on loan.
