Football Transfer Rumours – What A Joke!

The new season is upon us for us fans who support clubs outside the Premier League and more importantly another summer of endless transfer rumours and speculation only has a few weeks to run.

I had to laugh when skimming through the Daily Mail the other day and read that my team Leicester City had put in a bid £1million for Yevhen Konoplyanka (who?)

But where did this story originate from, the club? Players Agent? No a post on football-rumours (see below)

“Nigel Pearson and chief scout Steve Walsh are rumoured to be keeping tabs on Ukraine Under 21 Striker Yevhen Konoplyanka. The 19 year old is still only plying his trade for FC Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk Reserves and Youth Team, but the Leicester boss has had him watched him on a couple of occasions and sees him as one for the future.

With the new season closing in, a first team striker is still the main concern for Pearson. Racing Santander striker Mohammed Tchité. The former winner of the ‘Belgian Ebony Shoe’ award is his latest target. He will command quite a large fee, but the imminent exit of DJ Campbell to Coventry City will fund at least part of the transfer.”

Now anybody not familar with the football rumours concept anybody can post potential transfers rumours and this one was completely made up by moderator from a Leicester City fans forum.
