fish hasn't named any players or positions, just mentioned that 3 players are likely in by the end of next week. Now privately he might know names and/or positions etc but releasing the kind of info he has is neither here nor there for privacy etc. My guess is he won't know names or positions as managers are probably the most paranoid people around during transfer windows and won't even tell their wives etc. I don't see the issues in numbers being passed around though? Yeah, no difference to when a manager says he’s hoping to bring in 3 next week. I can vaguely remember Holden saying 3 were close after we played the pre-season game at Crewe

He obviously has as he's mentioned he knows some players we're interested in but done the correct thing and not named anyone. Why do some on here get so upset if someone has a bit of inside info? He's bound to know a bit here and there and gone the right way about it. I’m not sure I am upset. I wasn’t when I last checked. I was simply pointing out that we’re jumping to conclusions that it’s Schumacher feeding the fish. Is all. Wasn't referring to you there Gravers in the upset stakes 😁 I meant some in general over the years on here can't wait to have a pop . Fishers has simply mentioned that we're after some good players and looking to have some in soon . Sounds promising

I think it’s insane he’d tell him anything once he knew he posted on a Stoke forum. I just can’t believe he would. Seems so unprofessional. How do we know Schumacher has told him anything? Fish hasn’t said so has he? We’re all just jumping to that conclusion (and in fairness he is letting us). As a relative of the manager he probably has access to the club and its employees (playing and other staff) that the rest of us don’t. So it could have come from anyone within the club. You might think though that knowing Fish posts on here his cousin might insist he distanced him from the rumours. So perhaps he is complicit which as you say would be very unprofessional unless it’s a tactic like clarkeda has outlined. 🤷♂️ I doubt that the club care about rumours discussed amongst about 20-50 people on a message board.

Why do people always want to chase away anyone who may actually have some transfer info on transfer rumours thread. It's all rumours until real! I can only assume it's jealousy! 😒

Feed the fish and he will talk (or blub - whatever fish do)

I agree. What is the possible downside of hinting that 3 players, with no details, might arrive in the next week or so?

Just bayern doing what bayern does. Fish has given us a juicy little bit of info whilst showing discretion. It’s great, gives us something to speculate about on here. All good fun. The DoomMeister manages to put a negative spin on it. I’m chuckling here…

Some information is confidential and unless you don't mind falling out with the person who shared it, you don't go spreading it. Schumacher will not want it published on here. As I said the other day, Darnbrough had a reputation at Hull for walking away from any deal if there was a leak before it was wrapped up. Sensible as too many agents leak things to try to get a bigger club/better deal.

Sensible as too many agents leak things to try to get a bigger club/better deal. Can’t say that sounds very sensible to me. Most players and their agents will want to test the market. Seems like we’ll be fishing in a puddle for ones that won’t and it won’t say anything about their quality as a player but hey it sounds like the sort of self restrictive type of thing we do.

Carp players surely I like the idea of carp players. Turn the pitch into a massive lily pond and try to work out where the ball is by the occasional ripple on the surface. The manager could get away with reverting to a stickleback five without anyone noticing.
