oh dear now the twatters or is it witterers are telling us that we have bought the only player in the entire history of the world that Rob Burrow can outpace? Why did we do that, I just don't believe it!!! The only player he could outpace!!! the shame of it!!!!!

Just a rumour started by "Peter Hood" iirc

So almost 100% it's bullshit.

Well not quite, another poster in this thread has heard that a SL side is after him. My guess would be Hull KR given the state they're in.

I won't rest easy until he has an official squad number.

Let's just see if it's a bullshit rumour.

Clough and Purtell had knocks yesterday acocrding to T&A. Really hope we keep Clough, would be a blow if we lost him.

Re: Squad vs. Leeds : Mon Jan 25, 2016 10:55 am  

I can't see Clough going. The club did a player review of him last week on the site and he's in the team photo. Why bother if he's leaving?

I am sure someone will think of a reason and put Club down - again.
Thought he was great last season, never took backward step.

Agree, I d be very disappointed if Cloughie were to leave.

Especially as I've just been up to Odsal for my 2016 cap.....

One tweet suggests that the offer was quite recent so maybe they were genuinely expecting him to stay.

Can't say that I'd blame him for wanting a move if such an offer came in. Plus the club might be looking for a quick cash injection in the form of a transfer fee.

Marc Green came out and said OB wasn't going anywhere when the rumours circulated about him, but nothing about Clough or Fergie so perhaps with the strength in depth they might be willing to do a deal.

No proof that this is the case, but as an outsider looking in, I'd not be surprised if it were to be the case.

Re: Squad vs. Leeds : Mon Jan 25, 2016 1:11 pm  

Well he's contracted, so technically we can simply say hands off and be stubborn.
In addition to that, losing a prop two weeks before the start of the season would not leave us much time to find a replacement.
Also, the rumour only seems to be coming from one end of the deal so far - ours. Usually with something like this, fans of the other club involved start hearing things too, but there's nothing on any of the other boards.

The frustrating thing is that in Sidlow, Clough and Kavanagh we could actually have 3 really good props. Walker is probably pick of the others for 4th right now. It would be typical for it to be ruined by a late approach from a SL club.
