I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at today's HDM article.
From its misleading headline, to it's fabricated narrative, to its classic switch of emphasis.
This deal was completed in the middle part of last week. Once you know this inconvenient fact, it's hard not to view the HDM article as pure propaganda.
The motive? To divert attention from AP and Motu's vehement recent denials that Joe was going to be sold.
I know things can change. And if the club really were to reinvest this "unexpected" (according to them) transfer windfall and salary cap space on a player of equivalent market value - let's say Josh Charnley - then, fair play.
But, If they don't, it smacks of the club withholding it's true hand from fans in a calculated ploy to upsell memberships on a "no squad is stronger" ticket.
