[edit] Man City?

I got the news late but the press from Netherlands said that Afonso Alves would be transfer to Man City in January 2008. I got that news from a Chinese article. But I still need to find an English version. Raymond Giggs 05:03, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

In any case we don't really add transfer speculation to football articles. They're in general totally unreliable. For example, in the last two years Klaas-Jan Huntelaar has been linked to Arsenal, AC Milan, Chelsea, Liverpool, Juventus, Manchester Utd, Man City, Juventus, Fiorentina, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, O. Lyon, and Inter.... yet he's still playing for Ajax. JACOPLANE • 2007-12-9 01:02

Oh? The news said he is not linked to Man City, but signed with Man City, he would transfer to Man City in the coming January. I just want to find some news report for this. However, I think using official cite would be the best idea. But if Man City don't do that... Raymond Giggs 09:01, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

There were some reports in the Dutch media that he had signed for Manchester City, but they turned out to be totally inaccurate. JACOPLANE • 2007-12-11 16:48

[edit] Rumour and Gossip

Lets keep Jimmy happy eh? see WP:PROVEIT for policy on Biographies of living persons. Just because it was in a local rag somewhere, doesn't make it worthy of encyclopedia entry. just becasue someone said it, doesn't make it worthy. Truth is, dozens of things are said by and about this chap every day - when he does something OF NOTE enter it on his page. In the meantime, leave the sensationalist reporting to the papers.
