This kinda blows a big gaping hole into the SCM Boardroom Inner Sactuary We know What's Going On Behind The Scenes And We're Gonna Give Rafa An Online Raping For It doesn't it?
What with Rafa repeating ad nauseum that he wants Alonso to stay, and Barry being chatted up by some Arabs at Citeh, it's not really been a good start to the summer for the boys.
Fire away...

That's totally unnecessary, obviously they're just going on what they've heard. And I, for one, appreciate it when people share information, and I'm guessing it's posts like this that make the mods reluctant to share.
Like with any 'insider info', you have to take it with a pinch of salt, it's not set in stone.

Pffft, fucking nonsense.
You make it out like it was some 'don't shoot the messenger' titibit of info that was passed on.
Was it fuck. Did you read the thread? Ross/Sheik and whomever else completely set the agenda, absolutely slaughtered Rafa for it, and had the temerity to harangue anyone who dared question it. I suggest you go back and re-read it.
If you're going to set you stall out like that, then you're gonna have to take it on the other side when it turns out your info is fucking rubbish. There's a difference between 'here's some news that could happen' and setting the agenda for the entire Forum.
They weren't naive enough to think this wouldn't be brought to their attention either, hence their ensuing silence.

You seem to be weally weally angwy so to make you calm down a bit, no-one set agendas (although you do seem to have one given this is the 2nd time you've had a pop at us over this) and no-one mentioned that they had any inside knowledge of Gareth Barry joining us (in fact no-one claims to have inside knowledge of anything). There was, however, mention of Alonso leaving and I think I’m right in saying I didn’t really have much input apart from saying that it might be because Alonso wants to leave and not that Rafa wants to get rid (massive agenda I set with that one eh!). The last time I looked, the transfer window hadn't shut. Hence the 'ensuing silence'. And you’re right, the information could be rubbish but it could also yet turn out to be correct. I hope Alonso doesn't leave for 'our' sake but while I normally couldn’t give a toss what people think about stuff I might have heard, in this instance a very tiny smidgeon within me hopes he does leave so I can shove your words and dickhead attitude on this one down your gob.
PS. Gareth Barry is a mercenary of the highest order.

Heh, wow.
Firtly, I'm not "angry" in the slightest. It obviously didn't come across very well, but my tone was meant to be rather sarcastic, and a bit of a 'poke in the eye' if you will. I knew you would reply hence my "Fire away" offer in the first post. It was little more than tit-for-tat really. Still, it seems to have rankled quite badly with you that all your (and just so we're clear I'm not picking on you specifically here Sheik) bogus info has been brought back to your attention, so let's get onto that.
Your (again, same thing) info was that 'Barry in + Alonso out = Rafa's a cunt'. Let's not dress it up, that's what it was. Rafa was slaughtered for it. An absolute online-raping. Those who dared question it, or (heaven forfend) the word of you boys on this, received an equally dismissive kick in the swingers. Seemingly, you've now turned this round into 'if Alonso leaves, we win!'. I'm at a loss as to how this has come about especially since the rationale you guys originally proferred so vehemently has been scuppered by Barry going to City, and Rafa continually claiming he wants Xabi to stay. But if it means that much to you, then have it.
I'm not angry Sheik, nor are you naive enough to think that this wasn't going to be pointed back to you were it proved to be bollocks.
