Yes Matt you are right but it is all about getting people to click on the headline, what it should have said is

Tonight's Cardiff City transfer news as medicals booked in and Kieffer Moore deal agreed with Hull.
They are alway doing this type of thing, tryng hard to fool people :banghead:

I do agree with you, it does make it look as though he has signed with us from that title.

Unfortunately it's part of journalism and its something that will never stop.

YouTube is full of click bait accounts. It's massively annoying.

Will always be the way with local press with websites that is run by the Mirror Group.

They make the bulk of their money from advertising. The more people who visit the site, the more they’ll get from advertising.

From a business point of view, they have to make the title ambiguous.

If the headline was:

“Cardiff City news - Willock and Chambers having medical with the club but Kieffer Moore is joining Hull”

Well there then would be no reason for anyone to visit the website. All the information is in the headline.

So I fully understand why they do it.

Not in the context of the article. It says, Cardiff City News.
