So in other words you are repeating a completely
unsubstantiated rumour … which is fine on a rumours thread I suppose but a bit odd all the same.

He refused to appear in the video and our social media crowd said the deal is off, but that is just a rumour or pure speculation on my behalf

I personally will be happy if Obafemi doesn't come. I'm not sure that I like the sound of him.

Your source needs to be clearly as to reasons why next time
What kind of statement is that. its a rumour you realise people legitimately may just not know like I don't have a direct source in the club as I stated I heard a rumour, Jesus H Christ

It's unlikely anyone on here has a clue what's happening with the Obafemi deal.
I'm not too concerned, but the fact they are now linked on social media suggests something is brewing.

They have just posted friends reunited with Vitinho and Foster. Is it a teaser?
Don’t think it’s that - just been watching the interview with Foster and he says the only player he already knew was Vitinho, so it’s probably just that.

The statement is clear really, the person spreading rumours should give reasons for said rumours rather than just saying something along the lines of ‘they don’t want to go through with it anymore’

Obafemi has upset the dressing rooms at his last two clubs. Not a good sign. A Bit Weghorst like attitude.

It's all looking good.

I swear this has become just a keyboard warrior thread. For god sake stop being so petty, the life as a Claret is great at the moment, so it’s like some need something just to create an atmosphere and argument so they can flex their keyboard muscles. Draw a line here and move on please.
CT do you think you will need another article ?

Because putting a rumour without any story or anything to back it up just creates panic from fans and questioning from them, rumour was probs best not being mentioned imo, each to their own

"The Clarets are said to be just one of the
Premier League clubs who are interested in the player, along with Atletico Madrid, who also had a bid for him rejected."
I'm all for being optimistic, but, I think the journo is getting a tad giddy ! For now !
