Or perhaps Dean Coombes is a time traveller and went into the future saw Ekon's post and then travelled back into the past and tweeted it before Ekon
We can't disprove that at the moment... so it must be a possibility... right?
Nice try!
Kenyan time is 2 hours different from UK time. Not 11 hours!
Plus in any case, Twitter lists tweets in order of time, the tweet by Dean Coombes I read yesterday and appears earlier in timelines. Ekon's only appeared 2 hours ago!
It originated on twitter from this account on Saturday evening...
and Ekon tweeted it on Sunday morning...

Ekon was about 11 hours later!
Ross Wilson was at the club when we signed...
van Dijk
Cedric
Gabbiadini
Lemina
Hojbjerg
Austin
Romeu
McCarthy
Bednarek
Sure the club have had some **** ups in that time as well, but the above list are all good signings.
Putting transfer rumours in the press that then don't happen doesn't give the club a meaningful PR boost. If anything it makes the situation worse as it ****es the fanbase off.
Why does that matter? They still agreed to go from 1st choice to 2nd choice at a bigger club. Why is the length of time they were 1st choice relevant to the decision? They moved for money, if McCarthy is offered a huge pay rise and the odd European game it wouldn't be surprising to see him go.
I'm not sure what you are objecting to in what I said...
Begovic was established as a number one at Stoke... yet went to Chelsea to be a number two
Vorm was established as a number one at Swansea... yet went to Spurs to be a number two
Money very likely influenced those moves.
Money.
Keepers like Begovic went from regular football at Stoke to bigger money at Chelsea and a place on the bench. Vorm went from regular football at Swansea to 2nd choice at Spurs.
My point was Gazzaniga didn't set the world alight at Saints, but got a move to Spurs to be 3rd choice.
Yet you said there is "no chance" Spurs would want Alex McCarthy to be 2nd choice if Michel Vorm leaves.
How would a story like that make any difference to him getting a better contract from Saints? Hard to see why any professional club would make decisions based on stories in the Mirror about interest from other clubs.
It highlights how out of touch their owner is with the views of very likely a large % of their fanbase. If he isn't aware a tweet like that would go badly then what other daft decisions will he make...?
If the story about his father is true (little reason not to believe him), then it is The Sun who have yet again ****ed up, not Sterling...
Sterling on Instagram in reply...
In no way is that glamourising gun culture... quite the opposite in fact!
