I myself will take all of them in and keep my fingers crossed.
I was on board with him when he came back till he got the Big 4 totally wrong then said he thought Cleary had pulled the offer to McQueen only for the club to announce his signature an hour later. He's got some stuff right, but his track record isn't any better than some others, and hardly warrents people calling for him in threads for info. Each to their own though, i'm just giving my opinion. If others want to believe him, that's their choice.
Thing is Gunners, most of the people asking SG for his scoops are newbies, they see posts that are often close to the money from people like SG, Baze, white, THE POM etc.
There's been a huge increase in forum traffic since JT got dumped, lots of people scratching around for gossip and rumours, and these are the names they know. And because the inside info has been pretty good this time around, those new people identify the users that seem to get the information early.
If you get what I mean, nobody told the newbies that SG was always on the money, they've developed an opinion on him themselves.
My memory says SG and other scoopers have had imperfect runs with predictions in the past, but also there's been far less contract movement in previous years, less to "scoop" on.
So I would say don't get offside with people who post gossip, even if they get a little immodest about it. Some folks on here only come for the gossip, it's one of those things you can just ignore if you don't like, right?
My first scoop was Adam Blair signing 2 months before it was announced or even mentioned. Go back a long way. Anyways I'll keep posting news until the recruitment drive ends then sail off into the sunset again.
I hope the recruitment drive doesn't stop.
So keep on posting.
