Next morning , the post and bbc have picked up on it without any word from the club . This could be quite embarrassing for Gregor and co if it’s a hoax Can you link the source for that?

OldlandReddies Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Appears that identical ACL Twitter rumours were spread on Stoke City forum in June. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 35 minutes ago, Leveller said: I thought GMcG seemed totally sure the injury story was true. Even with a “no comment” from the club, he must have enough access to insiders to know the truth, and only seemed unsure why the announcement was being held back. Fair enough. Was it “no comment” as in he spoke to someone, asked the question and they actually said “no comment”, or... Did he ask the club and no comment was made, as in he didn’t speak to anyone who could confirm or not. Its bizarre whatever The truth actually is.

I'd usually agree Fevs but perhaps the club, knowing how important he is for us, have decided that this rumour having now hit the media could work in our favour if it's not true, by impacting Swansea's preperations. City have no obligation to comment other than to apeas fans fears which they can do when announcing the line up tomorrow. Imagine the atmosphere if Afobe starts. The Gate could be rocking.

grifty Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 That’s why I’m thinking/hoping. We look on Twitter @ 2pm and see his name, or into the stadium and he’s there warming up or as they read the teams out just before the game, would be a great cheer every time he touches the ball for the first 10 minutes of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 "Bcfcmitch" has made a string of contradictory tweets over the period tbh @Phileas Fogg Can't be bothered to go through them now but he claims he's seen, claims he's not ITK but finds it amusing that people believe it etc etc. Incidentally, I possibly went a bit far in my suggestion to report him to the anti social behaviour text line- but it was written in a jocular spirit as well. To name a few. That last one was the original but subsequently deleted quite sharpish apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozo Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 28 minutes ago, Robbored said: At the risk of being ‘rather dull and repetitive’ I do find it remarkable that people seem to believe a notoriously unreliable social media - twitter rather than a very reliable and thrust worthy source in the OS on all things City related. Still no confirmation or denial on the OS regarding Afobe’s ‘injury’. If you only trust the OS it's like a state-owned media; they only tell you what they want, when they want. If you use other sources, you often find out more detail and sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted September 20, 2019 Report Share Posted September 20, 2019 Why is everybody so keen for the club to make a statement on this? Whether he's actually injured or not, they clearly want to keep Swansea guessing, which is to our benefit. Surely, gaining an advantage (however small) is more important than keeping us updated?

I get that point, but at the same time this is a marquee loan signing- not a top top marquee but a high calibre nonetheless, with wages and costs commensurate to that. It will cost us dear on and off the pitch if he is out for the season- as a separate additional point, the club putting out Tweets about Rugby, Cider etc while there is a clamour by fans for news...all wrong.
