Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3414480, member: 9853"] I think as a rule of thumb the local News Ltd sources (Badel, etc) tend to know the club's side of the negotiation - and for what that's worth that will likely be right - whereas other sources - Dobbo, TV journos, Sydney press - are more likely to be getting spun by the player agents, who will be using them to negotiate. The agents, not the club, are the ones feeding the media numbers, including all the incredible "offers." So if Badel says the club is "set to" sign Cobbo, you can bank that the club "wants" to sign Cobbo. It more often than not pans out, but in situations like Haas and Fifita, shit can still go tits up. In fairness, in both those cases we knew there were shenanigans at foot. [/QUOTE]
