Yes folks ... the reports have to either earn their corn by coming up with some exclusive about shannanigans of binge drinking in the Costa del Sol, or the latest transfer rumours. Put a few names in a hat and pull a couple out.
The latest today ... "Newcastle United manager Graeme Souness is planning to make a surprise January bid for Swiss World Cup left-back Ludovic Magnin" and of course the Spanish link "the Toon have also been linked with Turkish striker Nihat who has been tipped to leave Real Sociedad on a free in the summer".
Yep ... we believe you ... even if Graeme Souness and Freddy Shepherd don't!
