Here is a little multiple choice question test for all knowledgable football pundits about the ongoing transfer saga:
Select one of the following options which you feel is the most likely scenario regarding all the media reports of interest in Ryan Fraser from various Premier League clubs.
a) Eddie Howe has telephoned all the football reporters that he knows to advise them of all the confidential enquiries that AFCB have received from other clubs;
b) All the managers of the various clubs mentioned have telephoned their favourite football contacts in the media to let them know of their interest on the basis that the more he reads about their club in relation to himself, the more likely Ryan is to join them instead of one of the others.
c) Ryan's agent has telephoned every football writer and broadcaster that he knows to tell them that he has received several enquiries about Ryan's availability from all the top clubs in England and elsewhere, with a view to increasing demand for his services and starting an auction, thus inflating the transfer fee payable and as a result obtaining the highest possible fee that he can charge Ryan for his services.
