He really doesn’t understand the issues he can cause by trying to be in the know without actually naming names and some taking his word as gospel truth.
Even tried to claim this move was totally out of the blue and nobody knew about it despite certain older and wiser members of this forum who I may or may not currently be quoting knowing this move was on.

Well I got told about this 6 days ago. So they've known 7+ days at least.

They can carry the ball well but play with their heads up and it would be the first time in a while we’d have two centres who can feed their wingers. Fingers crossed it comes off.
Not sure where you get this idea that wardle is a centre who feeds his winger. That’s not the kind of player I see him as at all. He’s the kind of centre who has good footwork and can spot a gap, a wingers centre he isn’t. With you having signed king on loan for 2023 that’s a sizeable chunk you will be paying wire as he’s on a huge contract. Wardle is still contracted to Huddersfield for 2023 so if you want him you will have to pay for him, and as a current England international he won’t be going to you cheap. Given wardle spent over two years injured on the sidelines and we gave him a renewed contract in that time I would expect the club will want some return. and I would hope wardle feels some loyalty. Given leutele is going wardle may feel that staying is a better option than previously as he will be more likely to get the game time now. Certainly wardle is a better prospect than bibby and if that’s the swap that happens I won’t be happy with it.

I keep reading about King being on a huge contract, would you mind putting a figure on it?

I don’t see why so many support him and can’t see through his BS. He’s hanging his hat on his mystery signing being Wardle but that’s total rubbish, just look at the comments he made about Wardle after he claimed we had signed his mystery “none announcement worthy signing” and you can see that. If you call him out on the forum you get called out for being strange as to why you would be bothered, surely it’s stranger to claim to be someone in the know and make all these vague claims? He’s clearly an attention seeker.

I named Wardle on there as I was sick of his attention seeking.
I then received about 3 or 4 private messages from him speculating on who I was as if I was someone in the know/connected to the club.
Really bizarre.

What issues are caused by his (or anyone else's) speculation?

Circulating private messages in an effort to find out who you are, so they can then triumphantly 'out' you seems to be standard behaviour for certain posters on there. For several years, it was constantly (and confidently) speculated that I was Ian Lenagan's wife.

He said we had signed a player not announcement worthy, then said Wigan were in talks with Wardle (after others had said it) then said he couldn’t announce who we had signed but implied it was Wardle but wasn’t allowed to mention his name after previously mentioning it!!! He’s trying to claim some sort of victory in the King signing by saying he said we were interested in him when he signed his extension, it was common knowledge us and Saints where after him, doesn’t take an insider to know that.
