Latest Rumours Fraser Franks

[Agent Lomas]

Hearing that we are one of the Football League clubs chasing Welling United's CB Fraser Franks. He is an England C international and helped Welling win the Conference South last season. He is also a former trainee at Chelsea. Franks has a release clause of £5,000 in his contract.

Admittedly, i saw this on Sky Sports but have since heard that we are one of the clubs interested.

Had a quick search on Twitter for his name to see if this had any legs, and found a source where you could be 'hearing' this information:

26 followers at the time of writing. Is this the source?

I find this very hard to believe when we're close to signing Thompson permanently.

I love non league obscuritys as you pay nothing and they could turn out to be class.

Several Football League clubs are chasing Welling United centre-back Fraser Franks. The England C international helped Welling to win the Conference South last season and he has again impressed this term. Clubs in League One and League Two are thought to be weighing up a move for the former Chelsea trainee who is believed to have a release clause as little as £5,000 in his contract.

Can we swap him for Craig Reid?

Sounds like a decent player with potential.

I find this very hard to believe when we're close to signing Thompson permanently.

Why?

Current options:
1. Phillips - injury concerns, 31 years old
2. Julian Bennett - yet to play, injury concerns, cover for left back
3. Luke Prosser
4. Adam Thompson - young

Getting another young CB seems like good planning for the future.

I'd really like us to look at Craig Robson at Bognor Regis Town, one of the best CB i've seen in non league. I also saw him playing in the WA state premier league in Australia and he was outstanding in a game for the WA rep team against Al-Ahli and had former brazil international Grafite in his pocket.

No harm with you dropping a line to the club if you have any non-league tips.

I thought the club encouraged fans to "be our scouts" a couple of seasons ago and recommend non-league players.

I've heard Chey Dunkley of Kiddermister's name a couple of times this season, released from Crewe and worked his way up non-league. His contract is out at the end of this season.

Even worse than what I suspected your source was. Oh dear.

What motivates people to a) invent these rumours and b) pass them on as if they're a Sky Sports reporter? For example, "hearing that x is interested in y" when all you're doing is reading it off a useless website. That's not hearing anything.
