Do off topic posts really annoy people that much? It's pretty easy to just glance at them, realise you don't care, and then move on isn't it? Its a transfer speculation thread anyway, if there was any concrete information it would be in the news or contracted player thread anyway.
(Yes, I know this post is off topic, just like the Vermont penis maple syrup one. Mods take control)
The problem is you come to the website, see thirty or so unread posts and get excited that there must be an anouncement. Then you just read the same old shark.
Seriously Ryan - if you see 30 odd posts in this thread, or in the U23 thre ad of ineligibility for example, and you actually get excited, sorry mate, you're either stupid, or a slow learner, or stupid and a slow learner. You've been around here long enough to know better.
Me in a nut shell. I know it's unlikely but one day it will happen and why not now? Hmm I should go but a lotto ticket, winning that is about the same odds as news on a striker.
