This. Still not convinced Reinildo is coming until it's confirmed by the clubI need to stop getting excited over stupid reports. Means nowt until they sign.
Just look at the last keeper thread. Everyone got a bit carried away and it went tits up. I can’t handle the disappointment

Yep. He's just reporting what other outlets are reporting.
That depends if you see Neil good enough, at all. His money could be used to purchase a youngster abroad who might be a top end Premier League player or alternatively multiple players who are near the end of their career who can help the young kids along.
The equivalent signings of the likes of Zenden, Malbranque, O'Shea etc who all had a massive part to play last time we were in the top league.
OOOSH YEAH

Wasn’t bothered about signing Bulks but would like to swoop for this lad. I think it’ll be tears though and he won’t sign. Lot of people clutching at straws

Hopefully moved along a bit since then
There is a lot of excitement about on here but only Le Fee and Diarra are confirmed by the club.
We need to wait a while longer.

Id have way more confidence in this if it came from Phil Smith.
Copleys job at the echo is to churn out a certain amount of articles everyday to generate clicks. So he will often just report on other articles or anything slightly sunderland related. He does not get the same level of info from the club as Phil does.
But having said that, not sure he would be allowed to post “a deal is understood to be close” unless there has been a change from Phils update yesterday
He seems like a top bloke. Really decent.
However, I can't ever remember him getting an exclusive? Everything is copied and fluff pieces. I doubt it's highly paid but what a cracking role.

He won’t any digging, any true updates will come from Phil Smith and the latest he said yesterday was a deal is not advanced. Very poor from Copley to suggest otherwise if that’s not the case
He gets bits and pieces but normally it’s exactly what the club wants him to report on. He’ll find out about youngsters signing new deals or details about investment at the AoL.
His exclusives are normally exclusives because they are of little interest elsewhere

You have to spend as much but the way its handled in the accounts mean we are better off doing it. For example if we sold Neil for £10mill as he's home grown that counts as £10mill profit and hits the accounts as such straight away. If we sign someone for £20mill to replace him then only a portion of the debt will hit the accounts for this daft PSR stuff. This if course could be total shite but that's the way I've read it and its why other premier league sides are prepared to sell their home grown players even if they are their better players.

Our recruitment is much more professional and much more decisive, but this means that there are very few ITKs these days
Frustrating, but a good sign

You'd think the echo being the local would at least get some scoops! On another note for those that listen to the games on the radio it's about time sun FM hot the rights to the games instead of radio Newcastle!
