Speculated Transfers[edit]

All players are rumoured to be going to other clubs all the time. It has no substantial backing and is just a rumour at this time. Until there are official talks this should not be included in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.45.155.130 (talk) 05:05, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is not the case.Londo 06 09:59, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that speculations about transfers to other clubs belong into an encyclopedia at all. Can you imagine something like that in the Encyclopedia Britannica for example? Wikipedia is not a sports new site. --Jaellee (talk) 16:09, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

'All players are rumoured to be going to other clubs all the time.' I certainly do not think that is the case. Perhaps a re-wording is in order on the language on his link to Liverpool.Londo 06 16:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree that this section should be removed. I read the news articles and they are guessing that Rafinha is one of the 3 being transfered. This is completely speculation and should be removed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hubschrauber729 (talk • contribs) 19:00, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I never heard of this athlete, I'm not a soccer fan, all I've noticed is Hubschrauber729 and anons removing the sourced material without so much as an edit summary. Hubschrauber is already in danger of violating WP:3RR. Corvus cornix_talk 21:35, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Returned removed content from a now blocked vandal. Londo06 16:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Citizenship[edit]

Is that a grammatical error? Shouldn’t it be “he has had German citizenship since 2015”? 115.70.87.192 (talk) 05:58, 2 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
