Many of you are claiming this story to be a lie because the website takes a while to upload names to the squad list. Would the possibility of a hacker not come in to your thought process?

Its happened before: http://www.offthepost.info/2009/06/man-utd-add-iker-casillas-to-their-squad-list/

To assume that I’m lying is a bit much.

So the author saw De Rossi’s name on the official website and on Wiki and reckons something fishy is going on – I would bet anyone else who saw that wouuld be intrigued.

I think the amount of misguided aggression shown towards him really shows how desperate we fans are for new blood in the team. So much so that we are turning on our own just because a rumour turns out to be false – or is it? Just relax or do something more interesting rather than take out your frustrations on some blogger.

As an aside, anyone who takes what a blogger writes at face value to begin with needs their head checked out. To get wound up over it is frankly pathetic.

steve’s not lying actually. I too was wandering through the arsenal site this morning and saw it. Thought it was a mistake cause I hadn’t heard anything, but it was definitely there. I know you’re all gonna get on my case for not taking a screenshot, but I’m not a blogger so I had no need. Trust me, it was there, for a few minutes at least.

So let me get this right – people are so desparate for news now that IF an article or some info appears on wikipedia it MUST be true… f*ck me you lot are gullible. Wiki for the uninitiated is a info feed – as long as you sign up you can make changes and add things. Just because it’s on wiki doesn’t mean its true – I’m sure some other ‘official’ sites (Sky, BBC, etc – not The Arsenal one though as they take about a month to announce anything) would confirm a signing before wiki had it.

Blackstock I make you right – add on there that we have signed Huntelaar, Hangeland and re-signed Henry – it must be true – I saw if on f*cking wiki!

Steve speaks the truth as I also spotted it but I was to busy cracking one off in anticipation to take a screen shot. Though Steve was not as eagle eyed as myself ,I also spotted the names Mexes & Vucinic.

Triple signing for the win!
