    Sky Sports News understands reporters are getting their transfer gossip from football fans forums.

    Can you post Sergeant Schultz off Hogan's Heroes saying he knows nothing?

    That'd be more apt.

    I wish I was more techno savvy....

    Not saying he's right on this occasion. But to be fair to him, he's usually quite accurate. Much better success rate than the likes of Nixon. Let's hope on this occasion he's got it wrong.

    Peter O'Rourke also wrote the Moore article for footballinsider that Giddings has denied so would imagine this also just conjecture on his part

    O’Rourke has played a blinder in that he has retained the same profile picture from his Sky Sports days which shows Sky’s famous colours in addition to the use of a remarkably similar Twitter handle. You often see his Tweets or arcticles being cited by other users as coming from a Sky Sports journalist. Unfortunately the aforementioned gives him a sense of credibility that wouldn’t otherwise be afforded to other clickbait journalists.
