Possibly the most tenuous transfer gossip I've ever read. However, it's slim pickings at the moment so thought I'd post it regardless. I particularly like the fact that despite clearly having no idea who the player is, they have a guess at a few of them.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

Sounds like some desperate reporting to me. Clubs sending scouts to matches - whatever next, eh? Edited by Cucking Funt (15 Sep 2016 10.42am)

Actually Cucks, scouts attending matches generally suggests that research is at an advanced stage with permission to speak being the next. I also note that there were scouts from the more fashionable clubs attending to turn the head of the prospective target. If we are all after the same player, we may well be some way down the pecking order.

Best thing about that story is the knowledge we have some scouts abroad.

Who's to say it's not a besiktas player ? Or maybe even Anderson talisca who's been linked to a lot of clubs on that list. He's on loan at besiktas from benfica.

Benfica has the best youth academy in europe. Our scouts should be regulars there.

Guedes is on the wonder kid watch list from 12 months ago. Hopefully we have our own coming through! Parrot

Kayla's days on the wing would seem to be numbered after minimal pitch time and arduous court cases. Benfica's Eagle has Champions League experience, and has a relatively low release claws. No bird brainer. Surely.

I think it unlikely that the club hears about e.g. wunderkind Carlos Stavros through word of mouth and - immediately - on a plane go the scouts.
